I think this sparked the beginning of her demise. If you ask me, she's spent way too much time with her liberal Hollywood cronies and lost touch with her mainstream American fans (many of whom are now ex-fans).
She may think that spouting all this anti-gun/lesbian coming out-of-the-closet cr@p is the noble thing to do (and I'm sure her Hollywood peers whole-heartedly agree), but her fans are disgusted.
