I find a very simple solution if you disagree with a celebrity's opinions. Just as they have the right to say what they want to say no matter how rediculus, you have the right to choose not to buy their CDs, or see their movies, or watch their TV shows.

That brings up the Dixie Chicks. I couldn't stand their music, and I'm an avid Country music lover.
I didn't care what they said when they said it. I never liked them to begin with, and was glad they were off the airwaves. What drove me insane is they became a child of the anti-war movement. The fat one kept saying how un-accepting hicks are, and the reaction proves every anti-country stereotype. Nevermind their previous song consisted of killing a guy named Earl, they are progressive and Country lovers are racist hicks.
Their big defense was the 1st Amendment, even though there was no reason to claim it. They had every right to say what they did, we had every right to no longer support them because of it. Of course there was a media blitz, including a documentary which conveniently won awards, but they are no longer supported within country music.
What's worse than celebraties which get a pedistal to state everything they want? People trying to tell us we have to support them regardless of what they say.
