"the artist's role is to disturb"

The title of this post is from the lovely (for a warthog) and talented (as toejam) Ms.(informed) Barbar(i)a(n) Streisand, who has the nerve to lecture others about tolerance:
There was Streisand, enduring a smattering of very loud jeers as she and "George Bush" _ a celebrity impersonator _ muddled through a skit that portrayed the president as a bumbling idiot.

Though most of the crowd offered polite applause during the slightly humorous routine, it got a bit too long, especially for a few in the audience who just wanted to hear Streisand sing like she had been doing for the past hour.

"Come on, be polite!" the well-known liberal implored during the sketch as she and "Bush" exchanged zingers. But one heckler wouldn't let up. And finally, Streisand let him have it.

"Shut the f*** up!" Streisand bellowed, drawing wild applause. "Shut up if you can't take a joke!"

With that one F-word, the jeers ended. And the message was delivered - no one gets away with trying to upstage Barbra Streisand, especially not in her hometown.

Once the outburst was over, Streisand noted that "the artist's role is to disturb," and delivered a message of tolerance...
So, Ms. Streisand, you admit that the hecklers are true artists since they "disturb" you so much, you ignorant talentless swine? I'm an artist too, yankee pig-dog! I blow my nose at you, so-called flabby babs, you and all your silly yankee sssssssssycophants. I don't wanna hear your whiny yelps no more, you elephant-nosed animal food trough wiper! Your mother was a rabid squid and your father sniffs athletic socks! Now go away or I shall disturb you a second time, you intolerant pimple-brained hyena! Bwahahahaaaa!!!
