Memphis Step-Father Of Murdered Boy Sues Dixie Chicks

Aaaaaah Gotta love the Chicks. Do they even play music anymore or are they just "activists" now?

She is such an IDIOT!!!

Chick, just because you can sing doesn't mean that you are more important or intelligent than everyone else.

Getting to use a microphone to make a living doesn't mean that you're Oprah. If it wasn't for her voice, she'd be slinging hash in a Waffle House,(no disrespect to WH employees).

She should leave the thinking to the thinkers.

'Activism' generally has a purpose. I think what she does is more of a 'run her stupid mouth every chance she gets-ism'

It looks like this guy is after money. Not much in the article to go on, so I looked it up, and several people was trying to get a new trial for the West Memphis 3, and one of the reasons was Hobbs hair was found in one of the knots.

I also find it funny the adoptive father of one of the other boys gave a knife as a gift that was never used but had human blood on it.

I do wish some cowboy would 'take her away', away somewhere where we wouldn't have to listen to her.

May put the hefier out to pasture or something.

Sue them for what?

Defamation? Having a contrary opinion to the father?

I am not sure what the statute of limitations is on defamation in Arkansas, but I bet it is over.

Yeah, they shouldn't be allowed to have personal opinions on anything. Just be good little girls and look pretty.

I'm not a real Natalie fan after her political antics, BUT I think this one is a bit far-fetched, even for her. Looks like step-dad is after $$ or his 15 minutes. I'm not really up on the story, but looks like there might be some 'reasonable doubt'.

This man is just out for money, I hope he doesn't get one red cent from Natalie!

I never said that. But it's funny when these types get mad after they present their POV on something and there's a backlash. I like my actors to act and my musicians to play music. I really don't want to hear their opinions on a particular subject matter. When you take a stand and alienate your customers/fans, don't cry about it like the Chicks have done in the past.

It's obvious that you have some serious issues, I think you should talk to a professional!

It does sound like he might be after money, but how else would you get the attention of those people who have a much large stage.

I have issues because I think Natilie Maynes is a loudmouth who uses her 'celebrity' in an absurd attempt to sway or influence thinking?

Whatever!

I know the professionals...They got much bigger things to deal with than my dislike for the lead Dixie Chump.

Can't hit her in the mouth...Hit her in the purse!

People need to read up on this case. This man's hair WAS found tied into the ropes that bound the children when they were killed.

Watch the documentary "Paradise Lost", or just Wikipedia the "West Memphis 3".

This case is one of the worst miscarriages of justice ever. I fully support Natalie Maines and anyone else who brings attention to this case.

That is what I was talking about yesterday. From what I read it looks like 2 of the 3 fathers looks good on being a suspect. I find it interesting that 3 kids who knew each other left together, and 2 of their fathers looks good for it. What are the odds of that?

And the knife story went from a never used knife, to a knife used to cut deer meat once, to I might have cut myself on it, to I cut my thimb on it. Why would a innocent person need 4 stories to explain a knife that has human blood on it.

Their last album made it clear that they are not taking back anything they said. She was right about Bush before the rest of us figured it out.

Point is they have opinions. They don't live in a bubble somewhere. They sometimes speak out just like you and I do on this forum.
