O.U.C.H. - Palin BOOED....At Hockey Game

That's gotta hurt (video).

Especially since it occurs to me that this won't run in the "politics" or "national" section of the paper (though it may run there as well, after getting this kind of attention), but in the SPORTS section, where typically not-very-political folks hang out alongside their more-political brethren. The injection of this story into the sports world may be one of the few glimpses of politics that some segment of the electorate which doesn't bother reading those stories usually will get this season. And it wasn't pretty.

Especially when you consider some of the write ups. Here's Forbes, not exactly a buncha commies:

Palin Gets Booed in Philly! This is sure to be the headline splashed across television and newspapers Sunday morning, the day after the Republican Vice Presidential candidate and hockey mom from Alaska drops the puck at the ceremonial face-off for the Philadelphia Flyers' home opener on Saturday night at the soon-to-need-a-name-change Wachovia Center. What will be missing from the news: the jeers were deserved.


Ow. That's gonna sting. Even the AP, while not identifiable as a conservative or pro-business outlet in the way that Forbes is, said the following...which (unlike Forbes) will be read in dozens of papers around the country tomorrow:

Palin was booed when she first stepped on the ice before the Flyers' home opener against the New York Rangers to drop the ceremonial first puck. Palin, the Alaska governor and self-described "hockey mom," is trying to turn Pennsylvania into a red state.


Someone not long ago wrote up a post here about the "bloom being off the rose?"

I think they were right....just not about the right candidate.

I thought the video was cute - I didn't even scroll down to the comments - I'll wager that any video can have good and bad comments - I still think the video is cute. BTW so did my SO - a diehard McCain supporter.

Yes, then imagine being a teenage girl that the left has decided to say that you fathered your little mentally handicapped brother.

I watched that three times trying to hear the boo's and I didn't hear any. The story you posted said she was booed the "day after" the ceremonial hockey puck drop. Why not find that video? It also said she was booed because she was caught wearing a New York "Rangers" jersey. Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Is this REALLY the best you can do?

With that being said I am surprised to hear the left crying foul on that yet continue to post garbage about Bristol Palin, a mentally handicapped baby, and a young man that has chosen to serve this country.


I don't know what sites you are on where people are continuing "to post garbage" about Palin's children.
