re: Some perspective on the Phil Robertson Issue

First of all, I have no problem with Phil. People can say whatever they want, but,

There's not that big of a difference. People were calling for the Dixie Chicks heads too, and they were pulled from many country music stations. I had no problem with that either. You can say what you want, but need to realize there may be public backlash when you do.

Country stations across the United States have pulled the Chicks from playlists following reports that lead singer Natalie Maines said in a concert in London earlier this week that she was "ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."

Station managers said their decisions were prompted by calls from irate listeners who thought criticism of the president was unpatriotic.

One station in Kansas City, Missouri held a Dixie "chicken toss" party Friday morning, where Chick critics were encouraged to dump the group's tapes, CDs and concert tickets into trash cans.
