They're pushing something called the Mandela Effect on people who dis-remember. It's like believing the Flat Earth* 'false rumours'. A few moments with Wikipedia:

Quote:
During the lead-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the Dixie Chicks performed on March 10, 2003, at Shepherd's Bush Empire theatre in London, the first concert stop on their Top of the World Tour. Prior to performing their song "Travelin' Soldier", the band gave an introductory monologue during which Maines said:

Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas.[43]

A review of the concert published in The Guardian abbreviated Maines's comment to read, "Just so you know ... we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas."[31] This abbreviated statement became widely circulated by the media.
Hindsight is a funny thing. I remember when Eugene McCarthy was thought to be wrong.
