Keep it up liberal suck. The world is watching and come 2018 you will reap what you sow. Trumps victory in 2020 will be even bigger.

This is why the left continues to be so effective. This is a tactic straight out of Antonio Gramsci’s notebooks. The Marxists have taken over the cultural institutions, and, if you’re not a Marxist, no need to apply.

And the choir could be surrounded by people who survived abortion as a baby. If we’re going to be anti-politically correct, we may as well go all the way.

Too bad. When you don’t stand up to bullies, you embolden them.

They shoot them. They only say they believe in gun control to disarm those they want to enslave. Same as it ever was.

Disgusting. Singers gotta sing, haters gotta hate—and THEY are the haters, not our side, period, end of story, full stop. There is no compromise, no co-operation with them.

how do liberals carry out threats to kill people if they don’t believe in guns?

They think that they're the only people that should have guns.

This is despicable.

Bocelli is despicable for wimping out. I would have told the complainers to eff themselves.

Well, he IS blind, so he won’t see any leftists’ attack coming... considerable situational awareness challenge.

I’d give him 5mil, so he can perform for only the fans he wishes to for the rest of his life.

You never heard of Bocelli before, did you? He’s totally blind. He has a young child, and his decision in his circumstances makes sense. I don’t like that he was bullied, but find his decision very understandable. Easy for us nobodies to decide what others should do.

Thanks. I relayed your input back to my son. He said it makes sense.

This is going to be one of President Trump's tougher problems to solve - if in fact he deems it worth solving at all.

The leftists in this country have near complete control of the performing arts. Whether you are an actor or a musician, you are shamed into keeping any conservative political leanings to yourself, otherwise you find yourself on the outside looking in, shunned and blacklisted by the entertainment community at large.

There are some notable exceptions such as Scott Baio and Ted Nugent. But when was the last time Baio had a TV show? Or Nugent had an album that charted? If you already established a successful career, it might be possible to continue to eke out a living as an outed conservative but the road is much tougher.

This is all due to the fact of course that those who consider themselves liberal tend to be the most intolerant and hateful people on earth. Not sure if that can be changed because they are who they are.

With all the other things Trump is going to need to contend with when he takes office, changing the culture in the performing arts is probably low on his priority list. But I bet he has something to say nevertheless about Bocelli getting bullied into cancelling his planned Inauguration appearance.

Hollywood commies reinstate the black list. Trump needs to end their tax breaks. If they move to Canada or India..so what.

Even by the normally despicable “standards” of liberals, bullying a blind man because you want to throw a Really Big Tantrum is pathetic.

Liberals going after a blind person..gee, this from a party that claims to care about the disabled..this is what the left does, they go after people to destroy them..look what they tried to do to Chip and Joanna Gaines, this is what the left does, you don’t agree with them, they want you destroyed. Didnt see me make a fuss about Beyonce performing at Obama’s inauguration, I didnt care..she had every right to do it..but with leftists, you dont go along with their agenda they destroy you
