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:
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:
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.

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.

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.

I don't agree because those people do not speak for me nor do I associate myself with them in any way, shape, or form except for the fact that I will be voting for Obama.
Although they did refer to Michelle Obama as 'Obama baby momma' which you may or may not know is a derogatory term that insinuates Michelle and Obama are not married. It is also a further way of illustrating his race in a negative stereotype. Shall we refer to Cindy as McCain's baby momma? Or Todd as Sarah's baby daddy?
Just because there have been negative things does not mean you have to bring up more negative things - it doesn't undo what has been done. Have you ever hear the expression you can't unring a bell? It just adds to the general filth. Is that your purpose?
Sorry....y'all lost any claim to the high ground on such things about twelve years ago when Rancid Limburger put up a photo of Chelsea Clinton after saying he was going to show the "White House Dog." And when John McCain told a group of reporters "know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her mother."
Amen to that.
Flyers fans once booed Santa Claus.
Given that, this isn't such a big thing.

Of course you wouldn't.
Just for the record, I don't go to that site.
Michelle herself said My husband, my honey, my man, my baby's daddy, Barack Obama.
I just looked at Democratic Underground. What is so "vile" about it?
They are posting clips from Fox (not) News for heavens sake. They've got this on their front page. I suggest you watch it. Even Bill Kristol is saying what us Democrats are saying and disagreeing 100% with you and the other right-wingers on this board:

I don't lump all Republicans together, only the ones who continue to spew hate or lies.
