Concertgoer pelts Streisand with beverage
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 07:06 AM by trumad
The drink was probably Kool-Aid.

Barbra Streisand's politics didn't find a wholly agreeable crowd during her Monday concert at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise.

As Babs traded political barbs with a George W. Bush imitator, a fan of the songstress who apparently disagreed with her politics pelted her with a beverage. And as her anti-GOP riff ended, another man in the crowd found himself being escorted out of the center as he shouted at Streisand.

Streisand shrugged both incidents off, saying some people would do better to buy her records than come to her shows.

A similar scenario unfolded during Streisand's concert earlier this month at Madison Square Garden in New York, during which the singer used the F-word in shouting down a heckler.

1. It is getting ugly.
Defeat is not going to rest well with our arrogant opposition. God is on their side, don't you know?

11. Good point.
If we had any real journalists left one of them would go find out the 'fans' name, do some research on the fans political affiliations and find out just what the so called fan was doing there. My guess: he was a pervert-party political operative on a mission from god.

4. How much do you think this moran had to pay
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 07:17 AM by Island Blue
to pull this little stunt? Tickets to a Barbara Streisand concert can't be cheap. It's not like she hides her political views. If I were to go to a Ted Nugent concert (which I wouldn't but that's beside the point), I would expect him to say things that I disagree with. A lot of things. I wouldn't however, pelt the man with a beverage. Morans.

10. The shots against Streisand from the RW talking heads are moving
some to do acts they would normally never attempt.

Limbaugh once made the incredible allusion that Clinton should be assassinated/shot...fortunately, no one took him up on it.

FWIW, I love Streisand, politics and all...but it her voice that sends me into a place of great joy....:)
