It's more than that - the problem is the passivity shown by liberals in general as compared to the fanatical political extremism shown by the right wing. What Natalie said about Bush was tame compared to what right winger Dennis Miller has said about President Obama. But have you heard of any attacks upon him? Peter Fonda called the president a ''traitor''. Where are the howls of protest from liberals and Democrats? Recently, pro wrestler Jerry 'the King' Lawler said the president has never spoken a word of truth in his life. Again, where are the protests? Why haven't threats been made against these people who insulted the president? Where are the boycotts? Why all this passivity and cowardice???

Yes, the Chicks were cheated. But this was done not so much by the right wing, but by the cowardice, passivity, and lack of action on the part of the liberals, moderates, and Democrats.
