Dixie Chicks recall "scary" death threat (from people like CWalker, probably)

Death threats are not appropriate. I'm sure CWalker agrees with me that it's wrong that the Danish cartoonists received death threats, and it's equally wrong that someone who opposes Bush should be threatened. Especially when this dude went into so much detail.
And yes, I am bumping "Power of the Dollar" as we speak.

Ha! Nigga don't front you know your bumpin "Just a lil bit".
Of course death threats aren't appropriate. But she's a dumb bitch if she doesn't think that these idiots in the world will let her get away with that. She's a country artist who does mostly appeal to the red states. So if some sister-fuckin redneck hears a country star blast Dubya, he's gonna get heated.
But don't sidestep like you always do...what about me illustrating that point makes it the "Most...Retarded...Post...Ever"? (Mind you, this comes from the guy who posts about his internet beefs in the G-Spot). I'm not defending death threats, I'm saying shes a dumb bitch if she doesn't think that she won't get some reactions out of people when she touches on these political subjects, especially considering her core audience. You don't think somebody like Toby Keith who's a country singer (very right wing and red, and proud) who talks about the US "putting our boot in your ass" of all of America's enemies doesn't get death threats? It comes with the territory - boo fuckin hoo.

I still stand by my statement. Now that you've clarified, you make more sense, but your post made you come across poorly. So yeah, it was still a retarded statement...that's not the same thing as saying you're a retarded person (though you have said a lotta stupid shit before).
As far as her criticizing Bush, yeah, she should expect a backlash, but backlash vs. death threats are two different things. Can we now say that the Danish cartoonist should have expected death threats when he drew the Muhammad cartoons? Under that logic, we deflect part of the blame off the person who expressed their opinion. I don't like Real American (and I make that clear to him) and I consider him to be a piece of shit, but I would never (seriously) threaten his life. His life isn't even worth the cost of the hollows it would take to end his existence, anyway.
"Just A Lil Bit" is my least favorite song on "The Massacre", but I still have no problem saying I like 50 Cent's music (some of it, anyway).

Oh shut up. Seriously. It's just like I know that if I talk bad about 50 cent you're gonna start crying while at the same time telling everyone that the revolution is coming. It comes with the territory. As for your Danish cartoonist, - newspapers/magazines do these things all the time to get a rise out of people - its called sensationalism. Most of the time it sells articles and gets people talking. Sometimes people boycott peacefully, sometimes violently. Its the fucking yin and yang. And you of all people should support the viloent boycotts considering your love of Malcolm X.

I don't have a fucking clue what point you were trying to make with this statement, but it is most def not something I would do.

I don't suppose it occurred to you that the Dixie Chicks may have had a similar (though not identical) intention? They did release a new album around that time, you know.

Hmmm, so you still think I'm really a militant black nationalist?
Sensationalism is also something I practice regularly in this section, my profile being a good example. Rather than reacting to all of the ridiculous, assinine statements that Real American makes on a regular basis, I've decided to try this approach myself.
