Yes, but it seems from all the accounts I've read that there were equal boos and cheers, and that then a few people in the audience threw drinks and tore down posters (which some accounts deny entirely). So my point is, "the audience" was split equally, and few of the ones who disagreed cared enough for it to spoil the concert for them. Then, a small minority of audience members tried to bully the casino into taking some action by vandalizing the place. I have no problem with the booing, but the casino claims it was objecting to the vandalism, and blaming it on Ronstadt herself.

I don't think it's a conspiracy directed from the white house. But I DO think it's a pattern we've seen a lot of lately, including in Florida in the 2000 elections when mobs of out of staters posed as Floridians and "protested" by intimidating vote counters. It's thuggery, and in this case it happens to be right-wing thuggery.
