Dixie Chicks Quotes
The Dixie Chicks were a female country singing group that originated in Dallas, Texas. The right wing supporters of President Bush were incensed, and the conservative Talk Show hosts pilloried Maines and the singing group in general. Ironically many of the same conservative pundits who so castigated the Dixie Chicks for their anti-war and anti-president rhetoric several years later were themselves attacking Bush and his Iraq War with far greater intensity and reach than the one small singing group–The Dixie Chicks. This quotation also gives us insight into the Tea Party and ultra Conservatives who were vehement and totally committed to attacking their enemies but who, in a short period of time, could totally flip flop as to who their enemies were. They were quick to jump onto bandwagons, loud and vigorous while they were on, but also quick to jump off.
