During a London concert ten days before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, lead vocalist Maines said, "we don't want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas" (the Dixie Chicks' home state).[2] The statement offended people who thought it rude and unpatriotic, and the ensuing controversy cost the group half of their concert audience attendance in the United States and led to accusations of the three women being un-American, as well as hate mail, a death threat, and the destruction of their albums in protest.[3]

Most of the issue was they made the statement out of the US....

So now Palin slams the Obama administration in Hong Kong, that would be out of the United States, so where is the outrage?

Actually heard quite a bit on Huffington, MSNBC, Yahoo news even thought the speech had the press barred and was a private affair which makes it just a bit different but your point is well taken !
