Actually, what she did say...
according to this article from the San Diego Union-Tribune:
"This is an election year, and I think we're in desperate trouble and it's time for people to speak up and not pipe down. It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know."
Substitute "African American or Muslim" for "Republican or fundamental Christian" in the above sentence and you'll have hell to pay. There would be calls to boycott and demands for sensitivity training. However, some prejudice seems acceptable, at least to some people.
