I wasn't even IN the US, and I remember the boycotts and the burning of R Kelly CDs were aired on CNNWorld. Like someone said, the Dixie Chicks thing will die down. Plus, the comparisons between an alleged rapist (of minors, no less!) and a woman who simply exercised her First Amendment right to free speech were not needed.

I love the way that some of you tried to pigeonhole R. Kelly's audience. If you are going to make such immature, uneducated, and RACIST comments as, "R. Kelly's fan base probably includes a lot of O.J. apologists," or "However, considering R. Kelly's audience also re-elected Marion Barry after he was found smoking crack with a prositutite in a hotel room that TAX PAYERS PAID FOR, I'm not surprised R. Kelly is still on the radio," please remove your letters from your signature. I don't think your respective organizations need that sort of publicity.

You're taking the thread-starter's position out of context. They compared the respective reactions, not the level of moral transgression. I don't think you'll get much argument there.
