They haven't been hit in the pocketbook yet since people are still going to their concerts. Seems to have been more related to true remorse or concern over their safety than album revenue (which Nad Adam already pointed out lines the labels pockes more than the artists).
When there was public outcry and radio stations began to reduce or eliminate playtime of their songs they saw the writing on the wall. Given that as soon as the first Chick made the initial comment another one grabbed the mic and made a clarification, I think they were pretty well aware of the danger of criticizing the administration in the climate. They knew that people have been whipped into a fervor that allows for no dissent. Not a good sign for us.
