I also think this song is directed at the fans who abandoned them after the Bush comment. I hadn't thought about the radio stations, but that certainly fits as well.
I think what I love so much about this song (and the whole album, really) is that the Chicks are holding their heads high. They've managed to convey their regret over what happened without apologizing. They've got nothing to apologize for, yet they still wish things would have gone differently. They're not willing to beg and plead and compromise their principles to get those fairweather fans back, but they'll certainly welcome them back should they change their minds.
