You're obsessed with this Yurt poster, why?
You conceded that in fact the nation's mood and opinion about the Iraq war are different, after initially saying there was no difference.
LMFAO.
Winning!
Why isn't Trump getting Dixie Chicked?

And does that excuse how wrong they were in '03?
Man, things really fly at a comfortable altitude above your head. It's why I said it doesn't lead to the conclusion you think it does above.
And you're Yurt, or just like him. Same faulty logic & focus on the minutiae. Try to think for a change.

Like I said - I'm glad former pro-war righties have woken up & realized how tragically wrong they were. It's part of the point of the OP.
Clearly, it's difficult to get through the barriers of denial pro-war lunatics like you & SF had and have.

Why did you say it made no difference then? If you concede that many on the right have changed their mind about the Iraq war, then why would there be the same level of outrage when there is not the same level of support for Bush or the Iraq war?

Because it doesn't make a difference to me. Like I said - I'm glad you crazy fools came around. But I'll never forget the vitriol leveled at me, the Chicks & every other anti-war protester. I won't forget being called a traitor & terrorist-sympathizer. It's why it's so ironic to me that the Republican FRONTRUNNER is basically a Code Pink guy when it comes to Bush & the war, and it makes no difference to all of the folks who marginalized me & my "ilk" and sought to silence us.
Now it's all, "huh? What? Oh...THAT war? You're still talking about that?" Screw all y'all. I'll never forget, and most on my side won't.
I'll try and dumb this down for you.
I said there is a difference between today and then and that is why you don't see the same level of outrage. Apples/oranges.
You said, there is no difference.
You then said, yes, there is a difference.
I said, thanks for making my point.
You said, no, it still makes no difference to me.

Yep. You're Yurt.
To tell you the truth I am actually quite surprised there was not far more backlash for his total assimilation of the Code Pink rhetoric while ignoring the commission's report.

Indeed. I opposed the war as well. For a different reason but, unlike Trump, everybody here knows what I had to say back then.
And many constitutionalists as well... although I do not blame "bad" people on what happened to the Dixie Chicks, they did it to themselves. They didn't consider how their words might affect their fan base and their ability to continue in their chosen career based on that reaction. If you want to run a business selling music to a specific fan base you need to take their opinion into account.

I can accept that argument. If you're marketing something, you have to think about your audience.
And again - I don't really have a problem w/ individual choice to stop listening to them. How could I? It's personal choice.
But I still have a problem w/ the boycotts & general intimidation.
They were simply expressing an opinion as well. Equally first Amendment. The surprise form the Chicks after insulting their own fan base was astounding to me. They don't live in a vacuum and were quite literally banking on the fact that these people payed attention to them.
I personally remain unaffected by it, I was not a fan before that statement and wasn't going to become one because of the statement.
No one tried to silence you. If you quit running your mouth, it was by choice.
Did you protest the war after Obama became President?
Isn't a boycott part of the 1st amendment?

LMAO... all you are attempting here is to shut down their voice. YOU AGAIN fail to understand WHAT they were protesting and the MESSAGE they were conveying. Either that or you simply don't like it and thus dismiss it. You can tell us which it is.
LMAO... again... speaking out against a comment someone else made is NOT intimidation. Stating 'I won't buy something or listen to someone' is not intimidation.
the above shows just how desperate you are to defend your previous stupidity.

I love how you think that an economic boycott - trying to take down someone's very livelihood - isn't intimidating.

LMAO... again... I love how you ignore that no one is forced to buy ditzie chick products. If the ditzie chicks wish to go political, it is the Ditzie Chicks that are risking alienating their audience. It is the decision of the ditzie chicks, not the audience, that potentially impacts their economic situation. That is the point that you are so incapable of grasping.
What you are suggesting is that the ditzie chicks should be able to say whatever they want with no impact on their sales. The stupidity of that comment fits you perfectly.
