A Jimmy Carter production?

Maybe someone can find the word “bacon” in one of the verses and get the production cancelled.

Is the Met freakin insane? I use to drive a taxi in NYC around 10 years ago, and Jews are THE main patrons of the Opera, all the time I would drive them there and pick them up. I swear I’m so glad I moved out of that p*sshole of a city, it’s just the biggest sewer hole of liberalism going and incredibly Jews there just keep voting for liberals, it’s like they’re masochists or something, then this crap of holding fundraiser for the Kenyan Muslim 2 - 3 times a week, they’re nuts.

Did a Jew write this play?

A play about a cripple, wheelchair bound Jew being shot in the back and thrown overboard does not seem like entertainment or thought provoking Art to me.
Only a Muslim Arab can turn a coldblooded murder into a heroic act. They do it everyday, all over the planet. Soon ISIS-Art will become available on world markets replete with decapitated heads and appendages, stuffed babies and crucified people. Maybe THAT will come to the MET as well?

This is disgusting. The sickos are trying to call this despicable play “artistic freedom”....much like the vile crucifix in urine *art*.

The article encourages folks to call the Met’s director and ask that this production, that glorifies the terrorists who killed Mr Klinghoffer, be cancelled.
*****************
We urge you to let your voice be heard now. Time is of the essence if we are to stop the production from going forward this season.

Let’s write an “opera” in which mohammed is portrayed as a bisexual pedophile.

I’m SURE the Metropolitan Opera will allow it to be performed on their stage, in the name of “artistic freedom”.

Music by John Adams

Libretto by Alice Goodman (allegedly an Anglican priest)

It’s apparently been around since 1991.

How do you get an entire opera out of some crazies pushing a poor guy in a wheel chair off a ship?

And yet Jews vote Democrat every election. It stumps me.

I suffered through Jake Heggie’s Dead Man Walking performed by the Houston “Grand” Opera. This one may be worse. And this won’t be stomached by Pastor Hagee. He’d arrest the South Texas Met fanbase from attending......if there were one. Maybe the ‘arts’ ought to have something to do with Truth and Beauty. After seeing some vid on line with Charlie Rose and Morely Safer rave about Jeff Koons, I looked into his high production commercial artistry and found .......... wait for it ............porn. Koons probably is were we are with art now.

This is permitted but the word “fagot” is removed from the song “Money for Nothing” when broadcast.
