Why isn't Rand Paul getting the Dixie Chicks treatment?

When the DC criticized Bush on foreign soil the backlash was swift and immediate. They were called traitors to their country (along with other, sometimes misogynist, names)

Fast forward and Rand Paul now is attacking Obama on foreign soil, but there isn't that same righteous indignation. I guess it's okay as long as those on the right agree with the criticism.

Didn't President Obama criticize American foreign policy on foreign soil on his Apology Tour? Yes he did. Hypocritical much?

I thought you were switching sides.

Dixie Chicks had poor timing. If Paul said something similarly disrespectful of Obama, I imagine you would come unglued.

yet another example when the right felt it was completely inappropriate and unamerican.

so again i ask, when will the right condemn Rand for doing it too?

Is Rand slamming Obama or agreeing with Obama's "don't do stupid stuff" policy? Obama's speech today seems like it could have been written by Rand.

Doesn't matter. You see everything as a dichotomy that's simply left vs right.

i mean, he kind of is

but the libertarians are war weary and reject interventionist policies. this is pissing off traditional conservatives and liberals

this is just like why the Tea Party formed in response to conservatives supporting TARP. GWB did more for the libertarian movement than any other individual
