Elton:

The anti-war protests have gone the same way as the anti-nuke protest of the 1980′s. Once the NATO INF was deployed the Soviets stopped paying for protests. Their objective was to stop the deployment. Having failed to do that they as some groups say moved on.

Today, Iraq is a done deal. Moveon.org and Answer have decided that spending lots of money protesting the Iraq war is wasted. They would rather spend their cash on taking over the Democratic Party, which from their point of view is money well spent.

And Elton, the reason the Dixie Chicks aren’t being heard from these days is because their fan base are a bunch of red, white and blue necks who don’t like people who bash the troops or the President during time of war. Unfortunately, they have been unable to transition to the rock/pop world. They insulted their audience before they established a new following. As pointed out by Knucklehead that’s bad marketing on their part.
