Bush during a recent performance in London. Maines told the audience earlier this week, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." Angry phone calls flooded Nashville radio station WKDF-FM on Thursday, some calling for a boycott of the Texas trio's music. The group released a statement Thursday saying they have been overseas for several weeks and "the anti-American sentiment that has unfolded here is astounding. While we support our troops, there is nothing more frightening than the notion of going to war with Iraq and the prospect of all the innocent lives that will be lost."

My comments were made in frustration, and one of the privileges of being an American is you are free to voice your own point of view."

The group's hits include "Wide Open Spaces," "Ready to Run" and "Landslide foxnews.com This forum is for negative comments on the Chicks...not further defamation of our President. | ||||||||||||
