The point is that they were persecuted as being un-American and unpatriotic for criticizing Bush...something that Sam claimed was ok to do prior to Obama. What happened to them is exactly what Sam is claiming what is happening to anyone who criticizes Obama.

If you are a singer, and you choose to make politics part of your shtick, then you have to be willing to take the consequences that come along with that decision. It was totally their right to do what they did, and in a way it's pretty courageous and commendable. They knew their audience was a fairly conservative one, so they had to know they were going to take a huge hit when they started making political statements at their concerts. And boy did they. I even liked some of their early music, as much as I dislike country. That "earl" song always made me laugh. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:337242 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
