The Ultimate Gesture of American Incivility (Pence lectured to by cast of Broadway show)
American Thinker ^ | November 19, 2016 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 11/19/2016 5:50:06 AM PST by NYer

Tonight Mike Pence went to see the Broadway hit musical, Hamilton.  He was roundly booed by an audience of  ill-mannered theater-goers. Who knew that people who can afford thousands of dollars (that is what it costs) to see a play about Alexander Hamilton could be so abominably rude. While a few people cheered him, most were booing.  This is the low point to which the intolerant left has brought us; very low.

To add insult to injury, Brandon Victor Dixon, the actor who plays Aaron Burr, the man who murdered Hamilton in a duel and became a traitor to America, delivered an ill-informed lecture to Pence at the show's end. Can't we all visualize this group of privileged rich actors composing their insulting rant backstage during the performance?  He said he and his cast members are "alarmed," as though the country just elected a tyrant.  He ranted about "diversity," as though Trump and Pence are actually all the things the "fake news" lefty media say they are.  

This crowd has been so thoroughly indoctrinated by the MSM, they are  more afraid of a Trump administration than they are of ISIS. This can only be explained by ignorance of essential facts - as Governor, Mike Pence believed in religious freedom and was excoriated for  it. But so uninformed are these people, they do not know that their beloved Obama has effected a soft tyranny these past eight years.  He has governed by fiat, going around Congress most of his two terms. He has transformed America in countless ways and many millions of  Americans just fought back with their votes. Shouldn't the privilege of wealth bring with it responsibility - the responsibility to be cognizant of essential facts?  This audience and this cast are an American embarrassment.

So rude, so unconscionable was this theatrical  show of solidarity with the intolerant Left, perhaps all of Broadway should be boycotted by sentient people.

Many people in Manhattan are prototypical left-wing fascists. The group-think and conformity in that place is just off-the-charts.

"43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message. 44 You are the children of your father, the Devil, and you want to follow your father's desires. From the very beginning he was a murderer and has never been on the side of truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is only doing what is natural to him, because he is a liar and the father of all lies...You, however, are not from God, and that is why you will not listen.” - John 8

The Clinton campaign used a performance back in June for a fundraiser. Cheapest tickets were $2700.

If you go to the theater in Paris, not only do they boo each other, they get into fist fights. I actually saw that at the ballet. Amazing - very 19th century, I must say!

Here in St. Louis, we had actors at our outdoor theater, the MUNY, lecture white people in middle of the play about black lives matters.

Some people did walk out.

I would rather spend the $3,000 on firearms and ammo then spend it on a ticket to this crappy play.

Any country whose “culture” (in terms of plays, movies, books, other literature, TV, etc.) is in the hands of the homosexuals and other sexual deviants is in deep, deep TROUBLE!!!!

Of course, culture includes much, much more than the “culture” referenced in the sentence above.

We all need to boycott the “gay”-infested parts of our culture, such as the Broadway theater and Hollywood, and pray to God for healing from their deleterious effects!!!!

I think it started when the SC banned prayer in school. We’ve always had sex. It wasn’t so blatant back then.

What? You mean, I can’t go crosstown while going uptown or downtown anymore? That’s a major convenience, and there’s Kosher Delight right before heading west to Penn Sta—Oh, you mean they have a theater district? Who knew? OK. I’ll boycott it. Who wants to spend a fortune to watch a bunch of people dancing around in dumb outfits?

“Brandon Victor Dixon, the actor who plays Aaron Burr, the man who murdered Hamilton in a duel”

If it was a duel, it wasn’t murder. Why doesn’t Pence dispatch Dixon the same way?

Leftists do not see theater as entertainment,
only a chance to “educate” the masses, an opportunity
to pound the party line into skulls full of mush.
Any chance to communicate is not allowed to go
un-politicized.
