Concertgoer pelts Babs with beverage (Streisand assaulted on stage)
Miami Herald ^ | Oct. 30, 2006 | staff

Posted on 10/31/2006 2:59:18 AM PST by tlb

Barbra Streisand's politics didn't find a wholly agreeable crowd during her Monday concert at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise.

As Babs traded political barbs with a George W. Bush imitator, a fan of the songstress who apparently disagreed with her politics pelted her with a beverage. And as her anti-GOP riff ended, another man in the crowd found himself being escorted out of the center as he shouted at Streisand.

Streisand shrugged both incidents off, saying some people would do better to buy her records than come to her shows.

The step after "shut up and sing". This occurring in Florida, the question is who will be blamed...Jeb Bush, Katherine Harris, or Rush.

Maybe someone can do the old Three Stooges trick and every time she opens her mouth, a cherry flys in and she chokes and gags.

As long as her revenue stream is uninterrupted, Babs is a sweetheart. But if you want to keep your head intact, don't step between her and her bank account...

That was a pricey ticket for a protest.

Actually my bet is that FR will be blamed.

How about doing neither? That's my choice. If she can't control herself and separate her politics from performance, than why should people that disagree support that? It's bad enough to be blabbing all the time about politics off stage, but then to mix it in with a singing performance. People are silly to go see her.

More details!!! Was it a cup? Bottle? Can? Just the liquid? Where was she "pelted?" Head? I'm picturing a bottle to the head, but it was probably a little coke on her dress.

Those were my questions too and I was thinking the same thing--probably some liquid on her dress. Great, now I'm thinking of Bill Clinton.

Most people would be much better off not buying her records or going to her shows.

I call BS. No way in hell that woman had liquid thrown on her and she didn't melt. No way!

As much as I disagree with her, I would rather listen to Streisand's politics than hear her sing.

Has anyone considered that these people are Streisand plants? You know, just to reinforce how irrantional and violent the "other side" is?

Sure, like that would ever work. The press would quickly investigate and find out it wasn't true. Babs would have egg on her face. Nope, that would NEVER happen.

I wonder when the leftist wierdos in Hollywood will finally wake up to the fact that Florida isn't really one of their fawning litter boxes, despite what the media might push on the public about Florida really being a blue state - its just the voter disenfranchisement responsible for stunning GOP victories here?

A couple of other celebs found that out during 04, notably Cher and Goldberg. - Go home, babs!!
