I don't know... seems like she dealt with him. The jeers stopped.

By barking "Shut the Fuck up" at him? I'm betting its not what her fans were expecting.

The heckler had more class. She exposed her true, intolerant nature.

Um. I don't know. You might have reasons for not liking this woman but I don't think this should be one of them. The heckler was disturbing the show, she quickly barked at him and got on with it. If he didn't like it, he could have politely requested his money back instead of trying to ruin what other people paid good money to see.

Intolerant of assholes inturrupting a concert? Yeah, what a bitch.

Everyone enjoyed the rest of the show regardless.

Au contraire - she dealt with him as he deserved.

Not anymore. And her window of doability has long since expired.

Yet she still makes money. More power to her.

Rush Limbaugh makes money. And your point is?

More power to him. People pay for what they want. If you want to talk about Streisand's or Limbaugh's politics, fine... I have opinions about both and I'd pay to see neither. This has nothing at all to do with politics. Its what a performer does to a heckler. Calls them out and shuts them up.

You say we suck? You paid fifteen dollars, fifteen American dollars, and we're getting paid for this shit. So who's the real asshole?

Honestly, I'm not much of a fan of her music or politics, but whats the big deal? Some jag decided to ruin everyone's good time by heckling(you don't "accidentally" end up at a Streisand show). Ok, maybe she should have just shut up and sang, but if she decided to do a sketch then the audiance should have dealt with it. Paying to see Streisand and getting angry because you have to hear left wing politics is like getting pissy about jingoism at a country show...

Is this really what the right is reduced to? Calling Barbara Streisand impatient and classless because she dropped a single f-bomb on a heckler? Hell, imagine what Bill Hicks would have done to the poor sap.

I love hecklers at shows, specially when the performer gets stuck back into them.
