Trump supporters are still the real snowflakes.

Oh yeah, and they also don't understand art.

But more importantly, they're also dirty hypocrites.

And now the Trump fans on the board will explain why free speech is bad, and Shakespeare is an anti-Trump leftist agitator.

They are just complaining because it is their guy. The only people taking them seriously is the media who wants them to watch cable news. Just another thing those nasty millennial are destroying with their modern attitudes about technology.

Why not just do the play as you know, Julius Ceaser and avoid criticism all together?

A modern Julius Caesar would wear a business suit though.

Art thou orange fans cross? I profane and bite thy thumb with thy unworthiest hand at sir deplorables...

Because avoiding criticism is not among art's most important virtues.

Free speech is good.

However, as many have pointed out, free speech often has consequences. Delta & BoA have no obligation to continue funding of this theater and can pull that funding for any reason whatsoever.

Both sides of the political aisle play the advertiser boycott card. You loved it when Leftist activists threatened boycotts and got Bill O'Reilly canned. What's good for the goose.....

Yeah, putting on a production of Julius Caesar is exactly like Bill O'Reilly harassing and raping a bunch of ladies.

No one demanded these companies stopping funding the plays. The companies on their own saw this and got scared and pulled off the funding. Well within their rights of course.

But this is the culture that the left has created. Attacking sponsors and advertisers is the new thing and the companies are now starting to preempt the protests and yank funding at the slightest hint of controversy.

We see this with Megyn Kelly and Alex Jones. She interviewed him and people from Sandy Hook got mad and now sponsors of her show like Chase Bank are pulling their advertising. And it's not like she was throwing softballs at Jones. Apparently he's called the interview a hit job and it shouldn't be aired.

But NBC is seriously considering not airing it because they are afraid of boycotts and advertisers pulling their ads.

Thank you leftists.

A production of Julius Caesar that needlessly depicts the President of the United States being murdered for shock value.

have they done a stage production of Bill raping ladies yet? I can imagine that as a musical!

Fixed that for you.

And if it was an Obama caricature being murdered and advertisers pulled their money, not a peep would be heard from you. In fact you'd be pontificating on the deteriorating nature of American political discourse and lamenting the fact that 3rd rate provocateurs had to resort to such tactics.

It was an Obama caricature being murdered...and it got rave reviews.

Fuck Bank of America

Do you have a source on this?

Dear Bank of America:

Thank you for pulling your support from the Public Theater’s production of Julius Caesar. I don’t think you quite realize what you’ve actually done.

Perhaps you thought you’d polish your image following your complicity in the subprime debacle by supporting “free theater” in as visible a place as Manhattan. You most assuredly didn’t research the Public, which has been promoting non-traditional casting and innovative productions since Joe Papp founded it in 1954.

Guess your board members are too young to remember the flap over the 1974 production of King Lear with a predominantly black cast headed by James Earl Jones. It garnered enough notice from boo-birds like you to transition from Shakespeare in the Park (free to anyone willing to stand on line for tickets) to earn it major sponsorship on Great Performances and a film.

That’s only one example of what the Public’s been up to since before you were born.

In pulling your sponsorship, you’ve garnered them nationwide publicity. Every tourist planning a trip to NYC this summer will want to see Julius Caesar and, when the seats are filled and they go home disappointed, perhaps some sponsor with a comprehension of satire and one of the purposes of the performing arts – like the Court Jester, pointing out the folly of the Ruling Class – will suggest taking the production indoors for a run off- or even on Broadway.

Cha-ching.

Joe Papp is laughing at you from the Other Side.

Have a nice day!

To be fair I don't remember these same Republicans crying back when this exact same theatre company did the exact same play only the a Barack Obama look alike. They loved it back then so their current outrage seems fake to me.

Dude, the same company DID do the same play with Obama. They have beening it for years!

Sure it is. But, it is kinda weird that they didn't pull the funding for the same production when the "Ceasar" looked like Barack Obama.

Wait. I thought this sort of thing was Capitalism. and, the left are "socialists!" How can it be a left thing if it's capitalism?

:confused: Uh, sure. No problem. You're welcome ...

Not a Trump supporter but definitely an ignorant snowflake who likes to scream over everyone else.

The sad thing is she was melting down right in front of her kid teaching him how this is how adults behave.

What is so great about enduring criticism without response?

I'll be honest, I don't remember that. Was it covered here?

So, a bunch of Trump supporters mass-reported CrooksandLiars.com's Twitter feed and got it shut down, because da poor widdle dears can't handle criticism of der TrumpenFuhrer.

Regardless of whether or not it was covered here, did you check before making a post crying about the Trump look-a-like?

No, I don't think anyone cared when they had an Obama looka like.

Both sides do that and it pisses me off. It has become a go to tactic. It was originally pioneered by SJW on the left to shut down anyone who disagreed with him but now the right has started doing it too.

Yes, three times so far in this very thread.

Obviously you didn't read this thread before making the false claim that I was crying about the Trump look-a-like.

Damn you're such a tool. Or maybe you just don't understand Shakespearean satire.
