You don't say, so for the sake of discussion, I must assume you mean this controversy:
During a London concert ten days before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, lead vocalist Maines said, "we don't want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States (George W. Bush) is from Texas".[SUP][1][/SUP] The positive reaction to this statement from the British audience contrasted with the boycotts that ensued in the U.S., where the band was assaulted by talk-show conservatives,[SUP][2][/SUP]while their albums were discarded in public protest.[SUP][2]

Reading your post first gave me the impression that these women were not Americans. They are. And as such, I respect them for having what it takes to peacefully exercise their free speech rights in order to do something so evil [sarcasm] as to protest war--even when it goes against the mob mentality. Someone once said something about not agreeing with others but defending their right to still have their opinion and say---and I guess one could infer that the speaker also meant: "...without undue ridicule/discrimination."

The post wasn't my politics.

I did not mention burning the American Flag.

I posted here to reply to a post that was also made here.
