The Punch Line

"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." -- Ronstadt, in a San Diego Union-Tribune interview.

Imagine. . .the new 'lepers of society'. . .Christians and Republican's. . .

I hope that both the above named groups; contribute not one dime; to the financial success of Linda.

. . .can she fill the seats and tables/the tents and arena's with athiest/agnostic Democrats/Muslims et al?

She better hope so.

Whoever performs with her; may not want to; if there is the appropriate response to this kind of sentiment.

I hope the same is true for Catholics.

Linda, come over to the other side; there IS hope here!

Well, I guess the feeling is mutual.

Unfarnished, unbridled, uninhibited prejudice. This is a mind-bogleing statement. I thought liberals were open and tolerant...the compassionate amoung us.

Does this woman realize she has just indited millions of her fellow countrymen. The only thing separating this from the most vile form of rascism is that republicans/christians are not a race.

I am staggered by the shear ignorance and vile hatefulness...but I am not surprised. This IS the unspoken truth that liberals and their minions wish to hide.

In the eyes of her and her millions of soul-mates republicans and christians are the most contemptible beings imaginable...more vile and threatening than any Islamic terrorist...less worthy of consideration than a house fly.

From the article: ""More of Ronstadt's history with the Aladdin continues to surface. During the late 1990s, Ronstadt ended a concert by asking the audience not to gamble or drink too much because it would cloud one's judgment. "She told us to think of our children and their college education and don't squander your money," said a former Aladdin executive.""

COULD THIS WARNING AGAINST GAMBLING BE ONE REASON RONSTADT ISN'T LIKED BY SOME CASINO CZARS?

This is going to be fun in the future. A little history first. The Aladdin hotel has been in bankrupcty more than all the other Strip properties combined. This is the third generation of owners to take a dump with that place. And the new ones don't know anything about running a casino either and they will be next in line for Chapter 13.

The Aladdin is also a non-union property. Now if some hollywood liberals are going to buy the place and feature this fat cow and the even fatter, cower Michael Moore - then they are going to have to face up to the fact that they are anti-union for not voluntarily turning over control of their employees and millions of their profits to the unions. And if they do voluntarily unionize, they will just hit the bankrupcty courts faster.

All of the Strip casinos are very non-political. Its just place common sense. Ben Affleck likes to go on drunken benders and drop $250,000 in a weekend. I don't have to be a liberal to want him to do it in my casino. Despite most of the Strip owners being republicans, they are perfectly fine in taking in Dem money too and there is no sense in turning away the celebrity class since they like to drink, shop and lose money also.

Ronstadt has morphed into Kaye Ballard.

Ya know Linda, I hate to pay to go to a concert and find entertainers like you using the stage to spew your hateful message and political bias and then feign indignation when there are those in the audience who don't appreciate your turning what should be an entertaining evening into a venue for your personal agenda.(I would just as soon not know either) You and your ilk are finding that there are those of us who just aren't going to sit back and take it anymore. You and many other so called stars are fading and on the way out. Lets get back to good ole wholesome entertainment like Bob Hope, Red Skelton, etc.

I wonder how loud she'd yowl if some entertainer said that he was uncomfortable around Democrats and Hispanics.

There's a legitimate dislike when around Christians which arises when their conviction of sin, their need for a Savior, and their unwillingness to believe in His death and resurrection is brought before them again.

There's perhaps a very preventable dislike of Christians if we would truly try to love, not insult, be kind, study enough to answer questions knowledgably and graciously.
