Yeah, it's definitely worse when there is an individual to blame.

Anyone remember the Dixie Chicks and the terrorizing that happened to them when they made an offhand comment about Bush while in Europe. They were practically crucified by the Reps and the right-wing-nut fringe. Their career has never recovered and they probably still get death threats over it.
