Adam Baldwin SPANKS David Crosby For Tweeting ‘Trump Dummies’ Aren’t Welcome At His Shows – By Sierra Marlee (rightwingnews.com) / Nov 19 2017
Twitter user Craig Rabe had some constructive criticism for David Crosby following a show that Mr. Rabe paid to see. You would think that, being an entertainer, you should be sensitive to the opinions of your audience given that your entire living revolves around keeping them pouring in to see you.
Not Mr. Crosby, however, who basically told Rabe to kick rocks, insulting a rather large section of America based on their political beliefs.
And it’s nothing that Trump supporters aren’t used to at this point.
So here is how this whole mess started. Rabe went to a Crosby show and didn’t particularly like the way that the entertainer spoke about his politics. He posted a rather kind message on Facebook regarding his opinion.
@thedavidcrosby I loved your show in Arlington, MA last night until you brought up your political views. Don’t you realize that you will piss off 1/2 of your audience or at least 1/3 in liberal areas when you do that?

Instead of taking this as a warning that perhaps he should avoid fanning the flames of political divide, Crosby replied with an extremely rude message, telling Rabe and all other “Trump dummies” to take a hike.
If you’re a Trump dummy and you don’t like progressives
Don’t come to my show asshole https://t.co/Aglt0ONQ7a

Well Twitter didn’t take to kindly to that, especially Adam Baldwin who took only 5 words to put Crosby and all in Hollywood who share his views right back in their place.

Didn’t support Trump. Bought tickets to several of your shows. Won’t anymore with this fascist attitude. Way to go.

By “show” he means lounge act in a casino.

I have no shame in admitting that I had to Google who David Crosby was before writing this article because until today, I had never heard of him, If this is the kind of garbage human being he is, I also could have lived the rest of my life without knowing he existed.
I have no problems with celebrities having political opinions, I really don’t. But when they start pushing away parts of their audience because they disagree with them, then we have problems. It’s a horrible decision, considering how strong political polarization is these days. This is a really good way to shrink your crowds in a hurry.
It’s good to know that conservatives have friends in Hollywood (like Baldwin) who are willing to stand up for us when one of their own lets their “elite” status go to their heads. Just because you’re an over-paid circus clown does not mean that you get to dump all over me and my beliefs. I assure you, Crosby, that I have spent more time evaluating political goings on in this country than you have, and I have made my decisions accordingly. This is what I do, so to have some old socialist like you tell me that I’m not good enough to come to your show simply because we disagree politically makes you the “dummy” here, not me.
PB/TK – I wouldn’t call Mr Baldwin’s words a ‘spank’ but they did hit the mark, not too mention the writer of the article ha to google search who David Crosby was, yet if you’re between the ages of 35 to 75 and didn’t expect political squealing at one of his shows, you’ve been brain dead for 5 decades.
