[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...but apparently the Board should be all avowed Republicans and performances about 'edgy' subjects are not allowed.

"Any performer who isn't professional enough to perform for patrons of all backgrounds, regardless of political affiliation, won't be welcomed," Grenell added. "In fact, we think it would be important to out those vapid and intolerant artists to ensure producers know who they shouldn't hire - and that the public knows which shows have political litmus tests to sit in the audience."

He continued, "The Kennedy Center wants to be a place where people of all political stripes sit next to each other and never ask who someone voted for but instead enjoy a performance together."[/quote]

I've been going to The Kennedy Center for years and have seen a few dozen shows there. Never once have I had anyone approach me with political conversation or have I approached other patrons with such dialogue. I've never given any thought to what the performer's political views are. I'm pretty sure 99% of patrons and performers feel the same as I do.

What is this Grenell idiot talking about?[/quote]
