“Everyone is in favor of free speech… but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.” ― Winston Churchill

If it was a contest between “a reflection of left-leaning ideology” and “the desire of many voters to strike a blow for freedom of expression,” it would definitely be a mistake to consider the award to be in any way related to musical excellence.
The market seems to agree – the Chicks 5-Grammy album ended up 16th on the Billboard 2006 album chart.
I’m interested to see what this adds to the dialog. Curious stuff in this independent film! :http://www.protestingthedixiechicks.comhttp://myspace.com/protestingthedixiechicks
