Does anyone in their right mind believe threatening to kill or harm a musician for what they said is acceptable? Vote for what you believe - at the polling booth and with your wallet. And respect the fact that no everyone in the US or around the world has to agree with everything that is said and done by any leader.

As for the second, she probably could have used the word 'jingoism' rather than 'patrotism', would have gotten more of the sense of what she was going for, I think... but hey, I'm trying to defend her, not her vocabulary. :) ill the following quotes be included in this fallacy?

They belong in Europe where people agree with their politics. They've spit on their fan base and they deserve the cold shoulder. I didn’t buy their records and I think they’re a joke.

I mean whats his face said "george bush dosen't like black people" that didn't make half the poplisity that this did. i love the dixie chicks and there new song 'not ready to make nice' .... best song ever and i think toby keith or who ever wrote them a letter should screw off. We live in 2006 were i go to school and here the 6th graders being all cokey and swearing and stuff. so one comment doesn't mean <strong>anything</strong> i think the deal everybody made about this was so stupid.

Same for the organized anti-Dixie Chicks rallies, the protestors, the pure amount of effort people seemed to put into hating the Chicks... you have to admit, it all kind of seems out of proportion.
