Freedom of Speech25APR2003 The Boss on Free Speech, Patriotism and the Dixie Chicks Bruce Springsteen is not one to let his voice be frozen out by a free speech chill. The man whose 1984 song "Born in the USA" remains an anthem for patriots of many stripes including those who see dissent as the truest expression of Americanism has issued a powerful defense of the Dixie Chicks and artistic free speech in general. ![]() Stars and Strife by Chris Willman Exclusive to Entertainment Weekly: Two months after Natalie Maines' infamous remark about President Bush, the Dixie Chicks bare all about the war, the backlash, and their future - an excerpt from Entertainment Weekly's May 2, 2003, issue. Also see CNN's Chicks defiant with interview, nude cover article. Band defends antiwar sentiments, cites concerns about safety. Syndicated columnist and Nation Contributing Editor Robert Scheer, like the Dixie Chicks and Tim Robbins, has been attacked recently as "unpatriotic," and "anti-American" for having the temerity to publicly criticize the Bush Administration. The main attacker has been Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, who has urged his viewers to contact the Los Angeles Times demanding Scheer's dismissal. See ActNow, the Nation's activist weblog, for info on how to counter this campaign. See A Bully Can be Stopped; a speech by Tim Robbins, delivered at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Ed. note: So, in a "religious" and editorial chime we say, God bless the French for the position they took against the Bush war! and God bless the Dixie Chicks for going on-record that they too are ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas! Beyond being an embarrassment to Texans, Bush is a disgrace to all Americans of good conscience! |

For the sake of true patriotism, visit France, or go French-kiss someone, and buy a few Dixie Chicks CDs. |
