She was boo'd for telling everyone to vote for Obama.

Madonna Booed At New Orleans Concert For Telling Audience To “Vote For Obama”

Madonna was booed at her New Orleans concert on Saturday, and not for some of the usual antics on her “MDNA Tour.”

The singer was heckled when she asked, “Who’s registered to vote?” followed by “I don’t care who you vote for as long as you vote for Obama.”

That prompted several concertgoers to boo Madonna as well as to walk out of her concert.

She quickly tried to recover by adding, ”Seriously, I don’t care who you vote for… Do not take this privilege for granted. Go vote.”

1. I really hate it when people dump on her for being a 'has-been' or 'over-rated'.

It's all subjective and her heart is in the right place so...Go, Madonna!

I don't seem to hear the same vitriol for the Rolling Stones.

[Whisp]

2. yeh. How many posts here say Mack Jigger should get off the stage

because he's over 50.

sometimes I think I logged into a teabaggery nest.

[FrodosPet]

12. The Strolling Bones DO need to get off the stage!

They haven't made a great album in nearly 40 years.

Sorry, Mick - we all know you dance like a chicken and butcher your classics. We only need to see it so many times.

[Whisp]

18. I don't want anyone to get off the stage because

they are 'old', or whatever else.

More power to them. They will quit when They feel like it and hopefully ignore the crabby youngsters.

[flamingdem]

20. I fully agree

ya'll wish you could move your azz like Mick!

[FrodosPet]

21. Are you calling me a YOUNGSTER?

Thank you!

[Warpy]

6. Any entertainer who can still strut his or her stuff after they turn 50

is a top entertainer in my book.

I confess I didn't care for Madonna years ago when her music was bubble gum stuff, light and airy. I do appreciate her now, not only for her ability but also for her showcasing new talent.

That she is a Democrat is only the cherry on top of the strawberry shortcake.

[arikara]

23. I don't care what she does at her concerts

but constantly revealing her lady parts the way she does has to totally embarrass her teenage kids. I can't really get the purpose of all that, the whole world knows what they look like already after so many years of exposure.

[LynneSin]

3. Madonna gets the last laugh

Those tickets run about $300

[Motown_Johnny]

8. Yep, she should open with that so the people who walk out are really screwed.

[southernyankeebelle]

4. People should be able to go to a concert and not hear politics. It would be different if the

concert was to raise funds. I don't care what party the person is with. People pay good money.

[FreeState]

5. If your going to a Madonna concert you know what your getting n/t

[Lucinda]

7. Yep. n/t

[southernyankeebelle]

11. Well I guess some didn't think so.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

9. Don't understand why Republicans would be turned on by Madonna. It's weird.

[Baitball Blogger]

10. They're not very observant.

When she sang, Material girl, they thought she was one of them. And "Papa don't preach" was definitely a sign of a right-wing pro-lifer. And the crucifixes. Dead giveaway.

[JI7]

13. Paul Ryan oves Rage against the Machine , Chris Christie is stil begging Springsteen

to sing for him

[tarheelsunc]

14. Didn't she call him a Muslim not too long ago?

EDIT: found this after searching... it's on FOX News

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2012/09/25/madonna-calls-president-obama-black-muslim-says-shell-strip-onstage-if-wins/

At the end of the article, they feel compelled to say "President Obama is not a Muslim." Stating the obvious, much?

[Divine Discontent]

15. just saying things to get attention, but like many said, and if he was should it matter?

I only would question him if he was a mormon! LOLOLL... uh oh!

[Honeycombe8]

22. She was being sarcastic, making a joke. nt

[Zax2me]

28. No, she wasn't.

she said it in a serious tone, as in we got one over on those motherfuckers!
now, it was also for shock value.
She has run out of things to 'shock' with because everything has already been done.
She, like her 'shock' lines, are played.
PLAYED.
But I still want her vote next Tuesday!

[Honeycombe8]

33. Yes, she was. She's fairly deadpan when she jokes. It was a joke, saying it

like the wackos say it.

[Zorra]

26. It was a joke. Conservatives rarely understand and recognize sarcasm,

nuance, parody, irony, etc.

Fox News very obviously has a great deal of trouble with them.

[Honeycombe8]

34. Exactly. nt

[Honeycombe8]

35. Hmmm. Fox is not a valid news source in sane forums. No rightwingnut source is credible.

Note the difference between your cite below, and one from the Rolling Stone that follows. Also note that you will not find on Fox the clarification that Madonna made the next day. You WILL find that clarifying statement in valid sources, like Rolling Stone.

Your Fox article:
Madonna asked everyone in the audience of her Washington, DC performance Monday night to vote for President Obama because he is a "black Muslim."

"Y’all better vote for f**king Obama, OK? For better or for worse, all right?" the shouted from stage while sipping from a bottle of water with a straw. ""We have a black Muslim in the White House! Now that’s some amazing s**t.”

Madonna, 54, also stripped down to her bra to reveal "Obama" stenciled in big letters on her back, before promising (or warning?): “When Obama is in the White House for a second term I'll take it all off.”

President Obama is not a Muslim.


Rolling Stone:
Maybe it was a slip of the tongue or maybe it was misguided sarcasm, but Madonna called President Obama a "black Muslim" last night at a tour stop in Washington D.C. in what otherwise resembled a message of support. After praising Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr., Madonna turned her attention to Obama, saying, "It is so amazing and incredible to think that we have an African-American in the White House!" But the pop star didn't stop there. "So y'all better vote for fucking Obama, OK? For better or for worse, all right, we have a black Muslim in the White House, OK? Now that is some shit. That's some amazing shit," she said. "It means there is hope in this country. And Obama is fighting for gay rights, OK? So support the man, goddammit!"

Here's the clarifying statement the next day in Rolling Stone (but not on Fox):
Madonna was being "ironic" when she referred to President Obama as a "black Muslim" onstage at a concert in Washington D.C. Monday night, the singer said in a statement reported by Reuters. The pop star was urging fans to vote for the president when she said, "For better or for worse, all right, we have a black Muslim in the White House, OK? Now that is some shit."

The singer later clarified her comments through a rep, saying, "I was being ironic on stage. Yes, I know Obama is not a Muslim – though I know that plenty of people in this country think he is. And what if he were?"

16. I'm pretty sure she can take care of herself.

[CheeseHead316]

17. Why even pay the money to go if you're going to boo?

Doesn't make sense to me, but then, neither do Romney supporters. Madonna is a legend in her industry.

[Great Caesars Ghost]

19. N.O. is a very blue city

I forgive Madonna for being a 1%er simply because she is a major advocate for gay rights. Was surprised she got booed for telling people to vote for Obama there.

[Lilyeye]

37. Take into consideration the people from outside of the city who went to see her

Concerts draw folks from multiple areas in the state.

[Tigress DEM]

24. Done

Just want to say, have always liked your music and respected your work ethic. NOW think you are ALSO AWESOME for standing up for OBAMA. Don't let the rethug clowns get you down. They can't STEAL A LANDSLIDE and that's what they are going to get.

[Zorra]

25. Madonna is a brilliant flaming liberal feminist artist and will always get love from me. nt

[Zax2me]

27. She is a has-been and is overrated.

The black Muslim line was too much for me.
Her backtrack was even worse.

[Beaverhausen]

29. She's a no-talent attention seeker

Who gives a shit what she says???

[flvegan]

30. "Several concertgoers"

If she was heckled at "who's registered to vote" then I don't know what else to say. If you don't like politics mixed in with your music, stick to brainless, idiots just churning out crap that you'll buy.

[Festivito]

31. Good on her. Better fans make better concerts. Remove that chaff.

I still have a strong memory of sitting in a still mostly communist China nearly 30 years ago listening to a Chinese instrumental rendition of Material Girl.

All I could do is laugh to myself.

You go girl.

[ailsagirl]

32. Honestly?

[Hugin]

36. Several?

Does that mean both of them?
