So which are you upset at the vandelism or the booing and walking out?

Oh, I don't mind people booing (for a short period of time) or walking out, as long as they don't actually ruin the performance; for every agitated booer in the audience there was most likely a dedicated fan there just the same who couldn't care less about Ronstadt's political views. Regardless of the question whether the audience's response was excessive and ridiculous or not, if you don't like it, simply leave. Just don't ruin it for others.
It's the way they responded I disagree with. That includes the notion of asking your money back (especially by those who also happened to vent their frustration in a vandalistic manner), regarding the timing of the comment (which was close to the end of the performance), the "gravity" of what she said (which was pro-Moore at best, though if you regard the song text of the Eagles cover
"Desperado", you might even start to wonder about that
) and the other, more hooligan-inspired ways in which part of the audience responded.
