Streisand blasts Republicans for TV ad fear tactics

Barbra Streisand has taken time out of her sold-out North American tour to urge fans to swarm voting venues next month and let the country's Republicans know their time in office is numbered.

The singer/actress has posted a blog on her official website urging voters not to be worried by a new TV campaign which suggests terrorist Osama Bin Laden will increase attacks on America if President George W Bush's party is voted out of office.
