I couldn't care less about the comments, but I believe that the cover will further alienate the people who were boycotting, threatening family members, etc. A lot of these people are "God/Mom/Apple Pie", and nekkid 'girls' on the cover of one of them Hollywood magazines ain't gonna sit well with Uncle Bubba and Aunt Suzie Mae.
The very fact that there are people hiding behind the American flag while threatening people who voice (unpopular) opinions makes ME ashamed to be an American. Boycotting a book/record is another thing. Making the person who produced that scared to walk around without protection.

You know what?
I'm sick of all of the bashing that conservatives take on this issue. Yes, i'm a conservative, i voted for Bush, i will vote for him again, i don't like the Dixie Chicks, and i don't buy their music.
BUT, i am NOT Uncle Bubba and Aunt Suzie Mae. Being conservative is not a solely southern thing. My uncle is very active in the Republican party of LONG ISLAND! (YES, even YANKEES can be conservative.)
Once again, liberals resort to name-calling and mud-slinging when their arguments have no point. They disagree with the war in Iraq, but instead of offering solutions to disarm Saddam, they call Bush "hitler", a dictator, among other vulgarities. They don't agree with the backlash against the Dixie Chicks or the ardent patriotism of Charlie Daniels and so we BOYCOTTERS are now unAmerican?? What the hell is that argument? I guess when MLK proposed the boycotts of the busses in Alabama, that was unAmerican and disgraceful too, huh?
Also, it's not "Emily's husband" it's Charlie Robinson. And if y'all want to experice Texas music, the way country was MEANT to be played,(not that wannabe pop drivel in Nashville) check him out.
Lastly,
I am an American. If so-called celebrities say things that i don't disagree with i am totally in my right not to further support them. If my bank came out and said they support Iraq, i would close my checking account. Likewise, i don't support Hanoi Jane, BABS Striesand, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, the Dixie Chicks, and anyone else who's opinions i don't share. That's not unAmerican, that's me spending my MONEY how i WANT TO. It's called capitalism, look into it.
