Remember when the lead singer for the Dixie Chicks dared to say something about George Bush?
"Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas,"
Reaction: Lost radio air time, lower CD sales...and some vandalismand death threats.
Someone with the Cambridge Police Dept. says something similar about our current president. And where's the outrage? Where's the respect we're supposed to have for our president? Some stats below.
According to The Huffington Post:
The president of the Cambridge Police Patrol Officer's Association says that President Obama's statement that officers "acted stupidly" when they arrested black scholar Henry Louis Gates was "disgraceful."
Stephen Killion told the Huffington Post that he was shocked when he heard the president make the remarks during Wednesday night's press conference.
"That was totally inappropriate. I am disgraced that he is our commander-in-chief."
What was Maines' comment in reference to? Iraq.
Consequence of actions Maines' was ashamed of:
U.S. military killed in Iraq: 4,329
Civilians killed: 92,519 - 101,006

How dare she be ashamed! Let's drive our Tahoe through her front gate!
What was Killion's comment in reference to? The president reacting to a black man with a cane arrested in his own home.

Some bruised egos.

Numbers are estimates.
I couldn't find an accurate list of contractors killed in Iraq.
