The real deal | The San Diego Union-Tribune

Well at least she’s proclaimed her bias.

“I’ve been dedicating a song to him - I think he’s a great patriot - and it splits the audience down the middle, and they duke it out,” she said.

“This is an election year, and I think we’re in desperate trouble and it’s time for people to speak up and not pipe down. It’s a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I’d rather not know.”

Wait, I must be imagining this. A washed up hollywood type who hates Republicans?

Surely they don’t exist…

Right?

Right?

Well, don’t worry Linda. You won’t have a great many people to be offended by anymore. Alienating a large segment of your fans is probably not a good thing with your significantly small fanbase, but hey; it’s your career.

I just wonder how it would’ve been if she said something like this:

“This is an election year, and I think we’re in desperate trouble and it’s time for people to speak up and not pipe down. It’s a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Homosexual or Muslim. It can cloud my enjoyment. I’d rather not know.”

Somehow I doubt all these defenders of this poor censored soul would be defending her…

    It’s typical of the liberal elite who always speak of the virtues of tolerance, yet they can’t seem to tolerate people with points of view different from their own.

    Perhaps hotel and club owners should start going through set lists and between-song banter before a performer is allowed on stage…

    If that was too partisan, perhaps they should ban all entertainers with a political slant, like that asshole Toby Ketih…

    Ummmm… The casino owners kicked her fat ass out because she pissed off the fans.

    See how that works?

    Fans?

    Etc?

    What did people expect. She lived with that flake Jerry Brown for years. (Are any of you old enough to remember when he was guv of CA?). Apparently, the weirdness was contagious.
