Concert Goer Pelts Babs with Beverage
Miami Herald ^ | 10/30/06 | Staff Reporter

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.

A similar scenario unfolded during Streisand's concert earlier this month at Madison Square Garden in New York, during which the singer used the F-word in shouting down a heckler.

You can't disagree with her - she has free speech.

One of these days it may not be a 'beverage' that's thrown at her.

It may be something much 'harder'.

Let's not stoop to the libs level.....pelting people with pies and whatever...we are better than that. When you got her show she will talk about how much she hates Bush...you have now been forewarned.

Your not supposed to bring 'food' into theaters or concerts.

It's not like Maye West days.

"Is that banana in your pocket...." etc...

Babs is an idiot, but throwing things at her isn't the answer.

I wouldn't be shocked if the guy was a plant hired by Babs to try to show how intolerant those meanie Republicans are.

Perhaps not, but if she's so anxious to relive the glory days of her hippie youth, perhaps we should hit her with the water stream from a fire hose.

This is disgusting. Show business tradition specifically dictates the use of produce projectiles to express disapproval.

Honestly I don't think it was her irrational prattling making these fans go postal, it was a combination of things sending 'em over the proverbial edge.

Consider many of these people attending her *concerts* came to see (in their mind's eye) an angelic voiced female Deva, albeit with the schnozzle of an anteater.

What they got is a shriveled-up nasty old rat bag with a hardcore communist shtick, neither of which they paid to see *or* hear.

So.

...they simply snapped. ;^)

Yep, I bet BABS did have that planted in the audience. Wait, she's not that smart.
