Ash, just because you and, for the record I, do not like the entertainer does not mean people who do have bad taste. Their taste is just different from yours and mine on this particular entertainer.
As far as what she has to say, they may have found her words insulting. What if she had stood up and talked about how stupid and ignorant people are who keep aquariums? What if she was making comments that portrayed your ancestry in a negative light?
If you are a die-hard Republican/Bush supporter and you have family or friends who are in harms way, you may see Michael Moore's as traitorous and her remarks just as insulting as if she had attacked your race, religion, creed or national origin.
On top of that, you think you are having your feelings trampled on by someone you paid to entertain you and they, the entertainer, expects you to just sit there and get insulted. They voiced their displeasure at her remarks by leaving. When you don't like the TV show, you change the channel. Well, they changed the channel.
They did not, as far as I read, disrupt the show or cause a distrubance. They left.
I don't think leaving was outrageous- but there was a point in the article where they said that people were tearing down posters, that sort of thing- I'm sorry, but I stick by what I said that's just irrational. And I do think that the way the hotel behaved was irrational. I'm not defending what she did necessarily- I just find the response to be too much (and just as a sidenote I do have friends and family in Iraq and I don't find what she said offensive). I'm nottrying to ask this question in an arguementative way- but do any of you find the whole thing offensive as opposed to one side or the other?
