Yes, they are entitled to their opinion. But it certainly doesn't say much for what the average country music fan thinks of free speech.

I believe they would be exercising their own free speech by condemning them, no? Should no one criticize anything anyone says in order to escape the wrath of people like you?

Of course you can say "Shut up and sing", but would the country fans have said that if the Chicks talked about how proud they were of the great job our commander in chief is doing? They'd probably get a parade and a place of honor in the Texas Hall of Fame.

So what if they did? Should they not be allowed to express such opinions? If you just don't agree with the country music industry's reaction, that's fine. But stop with the melodramatic "ZOMG free speech oppression!!!" already.
