Miranda Lambert Labels Dad "Extremist"

Miranda Lambert has never made it a point to hide her tomboy ways. And she seems to know just where many of those traits originated.

Referencing a recent incident during which her dad, retired police officer Rick Lambert, was asked to get rid of the gun he was carrying before entering a bar, Miranda tells Chicago radio station US 99.5, "That's where I get it from. He's an extremist a little bit." Miranda proudly boasts that her dad is "definitely your American Republican man. He is just 100% country, Texas, so yeah, it's rubbed off on me a little bit."

Miranda's own gun-wielding ways recently got her into her a little bit of trouble, too. On a Easter evening hog hunt with boyfriend Blake Shelton, Miranda slipped and fell into in a creek. "When I pulled my pants leg up, it was a really really bad cut on my knee," she says. "It was right before the first Kenny Chesney show so, not real smart on my part. I had to limp around the stage for the first couple shows, but I'm good now."

Miranda admits she was fearful Kenny would be upset that she'd been so careless, but says the exact opposite occurred. "The first couple shows where I couldn't really walk and I was crippled.. I got made fun of by Kenny, for my knee. He didn't care...he found humor in it."

Currently opening for Kenny alongside Lady Antebellum, whom she calls "awesome," Miranda and company will also be joined by Montgomery Gentry on select dates, a situation which already has the singer on guard.

"Every time I've ever played with Eddie [Montgomery] and Troy [Gentry], I've gotten sick. I'm not gonna go on the bus ... I'll keep my distance from the moonshine."

What's funny are all the people in here calling this girl and others Redneck and Hicks and other bigoted stereotypical names either don't understant that they are intolerant,ignorant racists by saying that or they are just towing the standad liberal line and think because the MEDIA pushes the same views that somehow that absolves them of all their sins of hating others that simply think for themselvges and don't fall for the brainwashing of their liberal leaders.Think for yourself people!!!Oh that is right,you would rather not,spewing what the MEDIA tells you to think is so much fun for bigots and racists.

TYPICAL IGNORANT AND HATEFUL BIGOTED LIBERAL VIEW..WOW YOU GUYS HATE EVERYONE THAT DOESN'T AGREE WITH YOU.

#1 Lori you are an idiot,Aol is very liberal leaning and anti-moderate/conservative.

#2 YOU SAY: Give the "us against them" bullsh#$ a rest. We're ALL Americans, whether you like it or not. THEN YOU ATTACK OTHERS AND SAY THE WAR WAS JUST FOR OIL!!! HYPOCRISY MUCH? honey,sweetie,(you can't get upset or think that is sexist because your lord and savior Obama talks down to women like that so it is acceptable liberal sexist speak) Do you know how much Oil we actually got from Iraq?
NAH you don't because the liberal media makes it sound like it is an EXTREME amount and not 3%!!!

3% you fool 3% but because they spew their always misleading agenda ,you believe them and repeat such sh1t for years I am sure. So yes you care about the "us" and "them" talk quite a bit more then you let on hmm or even realize!!! wow they have totally brainwashed you. Maybe you want to talk about the 1000's that were waterboarded???? Do you know how many were Waterboarded? Do you know what info we learned from it that helped save lives? NO YOU DON'T.BECAUSE OBAMA and the MEDIA will not let you know the TRUTH!!!! Well it turns out it was only 3 people that were waterboarded,IT was not a widespread use of Torture like the media wants you sheep to believe and OBAMA will not release the documents to show the truth!!! He released partial documents to make the other side(see republicans)appear bad and the MEDIA spins it as EVIL TORTURE of 1000's and that we got nothing from it.OBAMA will not release the rest of the same document because it shows the TRUTH. NOW you Liberals screamed boody murder if the republicans didn't show everything that any of your special interest groups wanted to dig through(which was everything under the sun and would take yars and years to read),that Somehow was evil,but now that Osama and the LIBERALS are in TOTALITARIAN CONTROL of everything, IT IS OBAMA and the Liberals right to hide the truth on something that wouldn't even affect Obama and his croonies.Well it would affect their Propaganda and they would have to admit that they made a mountain out of an anthill(smaller then a molehill for simpletons

You're a moron for several reasons. Here, let me explain.
#1) You think you're such a great American because you think going to war after 4000 people were killed by terrorists was a waste of time, since most of the 4000 were in New York. Nevermind the fact that the war we are in now has nothing to do with 9/11, and everything do with oil.
#2) Conservatives aren't the only ones who listen to country music. I'm a Democrat, and I listen to more country than any other genre of music. I don't care about their political views, just whether or not their music is any good.
#3)I don't know what AOL you are signing in to, but the one I see is conservative (read: republican) leaning for quite some time.
#4) Give the "us against them" bulls**t a rest. We're ALL Americans, whether you like it or not.

"Her gun wielding ways got her into trouble"... Only slightly misleading there huh? She slipped and cut her knee on something. That's like saying "getting out of bed caused the car accident". Liberal bias looms in the air like the fog of a bad meatball fart and it's evident that Liberals have been smelling their own just a little to much.

AOL is using the "bottom of the barrel" news stories -- more and more. It's more like the "Inquirer" all of the time. YUCK! I am SOOOOOOO going to switch e-mail providers! Anybody know of a web provider who has better news content?

Miranda does sound like REdneck trailer trash .. As for supporting the troops - look what they're recruiting ... Its just fodder for the king - They're not chosey these days - the more of a mental lowrider the better.. There is always more supply. So rednecks don't be so proud - because if you did not have the IQ of a carrot you would do your damndest to prevent your children being killed for Oil and Politics ! Scary to know that you are allowed to vote.. Oh yes lets not forget the favorite country song line.. "Grandma got run over by a reindeer..... Twwwaaaaaaaaaang......
