JohnDeere 0 #26 November 9, 2008 Quote Quote Quote I really thought she was pretty gutsy to say that in public and support Natalie for what she said. She just chose the wrong forum. She should've said it here in the U.S. I still love the Chick's music and buy their CD's. Well, a piece of the issue was that her comment was taken out of context and abbreviated in such a way that it made it sound as if that's the only thing she said. She had said that " . . . we’re on the good side with y’all." meaning the people of England, and "We do not want this war, this violence . . . " meaning the unnecessary killing of innocent civilians. The "quote" got shortened to "Just so you know ... we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas." which leaves out quite a bit of context. She was treated unfairly. Don'tcha just love the news media? If, they don't like what someone says... twist it, slice it, dice it... anything to make a story. I did, finally see her 'actual' statement, some time after she said what she did. I appreciate your posting it. I think, what hurt Natalie, probably more than that statement, with her fans, was when she got on Toby Keith for his "We'll put a boot in their ass!" line in his hit song. The girl is... out-spoken!Chuck Point being she is complete Trailer Trash!Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

She does have the right to say what she wants BUT, she also has to be willing to take responsibility for what she says and accept the consequenses for what she says. I think, that applies to all of us. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
