‘Hamilton’ Attempts to Lure Pence into a Duel

Recently, “Love Trumps Hate” bullies, afflicted with a perverted sense of self-righteousness participated in a weighted battle by luring in, and then ambushing, Mike Pence. It happened when the unsuspecting Vice President-elect decided to take in a leisurely performance of the highly acclaimed musical production of Hamilton.

In addition to incorporating rap, hip-hop, R&B, and pop into the Tony-award winning score, by pretending our founding fathers weren’t white, Hamilton embraces a revisionist version of ethnic and racial history.

In fact, choosing to cast white historical figures with non-white actors may be the reason our racially divisive president is such a huge fan of the play.

In any case, lead producer Jeffrey Seller, had this to say about Hamilton’s choice to waylay a “Helpless” Mr. Pence:

We had to ask ourselves, how do we cope with this? Our cast could barely go on stage the day after the election. The election was painful and crushing to all of us here. We all struggled with what was the appropriate and respectful and proper response. We are honored that Mr. Pence attended the show, and we had to use this opportunity to express our feelings.

This sort of juvenile sniveling comes from a company of performers that pride themselves on chronicling the grit, bravery, and struggles exhibited by the heroes of our early republic. Therefore, maybe someone needs to inform the cast of Hamilton that a Broadway musical’s purpose is not to make a cowardly partisan proclamation that Alexander Hamilton would probably react to with complete disdain – it’s to entertain.

Why would ANYONE attend such a moronic event, let alone a Vice President elect?

I heard the condescending bleat. It was presumptuously offensive in my opinion.

The probably truth of the matter is that NONE of the cast actually had any idea about Pence’s history, thoughts or record. They were lashing out emotionally and delivering the same old victim bullshit they always do when they don’t get their way.

probable truth............

Exactly

The cheap seats are $600
Such social justice warriors ...

If I go to a steakhouse and order a meal I don’t want to have a waiter explain to me the environmental impacts of cattle farming. Just bring me my damn food!

Honey, this is what Daddy’s up against, so don’t forget to pray for Daddy and President Trump.

[Kaslin]

by pretending our founding fathers weren't white

How ridiculous is that? I like to know who the idiot was that chose the cast.

[servo1969]

I wonder how many people in the production even voted?

[Jack Hammer]

If you’re calling me, “Honey,” you’d better be female....

[seawolf101]

The cast of Hamilton needs to go to a safe space get some crayons, coloring books, and play doh and suck on a pacifier like the did at some Ivy League schools.

Boycott Hamilton.

[who knows what evil?]

$600??? I wouldn’t cross the street to watch this revisionist bullsh*t for free...

[KSCITYBOY]

Do these idiots really want to see Operation disrupt Hamilton

[Gaffer]

How about a flash mob of show viewers throwing a couple hundred Binkies up on stage at an opportune moment?

I've been involved in many theatrical productions. And by virtue of this one crass and immature act the Hamilton cast blew it as professionals. Their sole mission was to perform to the very best of their abilities for their audience - each of whom had seats procured at UNCONSCIONABLE cost - and to do so without prejudice or undue regard. At MOST the host of the evening might have remarked before the show that they were being graced with the presence of the Vice-President of the United States-elect. But even that might be too much.

This has nothing to do with politics and EVERYTHING to do with theatrical polity, decorum, and protocol. And the Hamilton cast apparently knows nothing about any of that.

This is financial suicide for the traveling show. They will be limited to conclaves of blue blue zones.

Hamilton actor translation: “I and We did not vote for you and we still don’t trust you.”

One of the myriad reasons I utterly detest “progressives.”

When I say that Marxism is based on envy, I mean that the glorious revolution of the proletariat...was really a promise to put a final end to all the conditions that make for envy." (Joseph Epstein, author and former editor of The American Scholar, from Truths about Socialism, Coral Ridge Ministries, p. 66)

It's green eyed envy that compels these sniveling, weak-willed, narcissists to raze the Founders down to where they, the snivelers, can climb atop them and blow their horns and beat their drums in pseudo-triumph. "Look at us," proclaim chest-beating snivelers, "we are superior to the Founders and Mike Pence!."
