Concertgoer Throws Drink at Streisand

I also think it is improper for the fan to have done this.

If you do not like the political stand of an entertainer, etc., there are better ways to express this than this action. For exmapl,e simply do not purchase their product.

This is easily explained.

Democrats feel resentment twards Republicans because they have more money.

Republicans do not envy Democrats who have more money.

 If you are the Envious type , you will want to join the Democrats.

Meaningless generalization.

Besides, you should have read some of the nastiness directed at George Soros by Republicans.

I think the nastiness was generated more by how he used his money than how much he had.

Precisely.  As another person I heard, say it so articulately.  Babs, and any other Hollywood elitist, has every right to say anything they want.  I have every right not to buy their entertainment product or attend their movie.  And it'd be complete hypocrisy on their part to complain of the latter, when I've conceded the former.

Well, to play Devil's advocate, I heard one guy involved with a previous similar episode say "I paid to listen to her sing, not to hear her stump for politicians."

Maybe Coulter will be willing to agree to some kind of pie fighting once she does her five years for voter fraud.

Well, the problem then becomes when the entertainer attempts to mix the 2.  It's 1 thing when you're a comedian and you're making stabs at both parties, ala Leno.  it's another thing when you sing or act, but have decided to be an overt political partisan at the same time.  In those cases, I again reference my prior quote, and apply my right not to buy the entertainment portion of the entertainer

Nobody's forcing you to go see Barbara Streisand.

She's partisan and a private citizen and doesn't have to appease you in any way.  Remember the Dixie Chicks?  Maybe you should organize hate mail and convince concert halls to deny Streisand venues to spread her "propaganda".  I mean, its still a free country, right?

Who said anyone was forcing anyone to watch or listen to anything??  Are you purposely not paying attention, Brass?  Did you miss the part where she (& the Dixie Chicks & Danny Glover & Harry Belafonte & Alec Baldwin, etc., etc., etc.)  have the absolute right to spew anything they want??

[Brassmask]

Whatever.

[Plane]

Whatever.

When you go to see Barbra Strisand you ought to expect to see her say something negative , is is pretty well known for it.


Are there equivelent examples of entertainers who wouold say something positive about Bush ?

Lee Greenwood , Garth Brooks?
