Palin drops puck to boos, cheers

PHILADELPHIA -- A healthy mix of boos and cheers greeted Palin last night as she dropped the ceremonial first puck for the Philadelphia Flyers season -- with an assist from her youngest daughter.
For days, blogs and Web sites had suggested Palin’s appearance would be met mostly with jeers. But Palin received a mixed reaction as she joined the winner of the team’s “Ultimate Hockey Mom” contest, Cathy O’Connell from Erdenheim, Pa.
Perhaps it was Palin’s youngest daughter, Piper, who emerged with her in a Flyers jersey, which helped mollify the crowd. The Alaska governor had even foreshadowed the tactic earlier in the day.
“I’ve been warned that Flyers fans, they get so enthused, that they boo everybody at the drop of the puck,” she said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Saturday afternoon. “But what I thought I’d do is I’d put Piper in a Flyers jersey, bring her out with me. How dare they boo Piper!”
Palin stepped from the team tunnel and out onto a black carpet with Piper and middle daughter Willow and walked across center ice. Some fans clapped, while others booed or held their thumbs pointed down. She shook hands with O’Connell and Flyers captain Mike Richards, and gave a kiss to Rangers assistant captain Scotty Gomez, a native Alaskan.
Palin knelt down, posed for photos with the players and O’Connell and dropped the puck with her simultaneously. She then shook the players’ hands again and walked off into the tunnel.
Palin watched part of the game in a skybox and also gave interviews to Comcast SportsNet and ESPN.
In case you and others have not noticed, we have a new forum mod who just stated the following:
Saved me the trouble.
See as a senator, John has confronted the corrupt ways of Washington. And the wasteful spending. And the abuses of power. As president, he’s going to end those once and for all.
That's great and all but the thing that really bugs me is if Obama was booed at an event like this all we would hear for days and days would be screams of RACISM from the media. Tell me I'm wrong. And don't be snarky and tell me no one would boo him.

Can you pick out the key word?
Obama would not get booed like Sarah Palin got booed. That's not snark, that's reality.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin accidentally mistook some of her own fans for protesters Monday.
A massive crowd of at least 20,000 spread across the parking lot of Richmond International Raceway. Many on the outer periphery, more than 100 yards from the stage, couldn't hear.
They started chanting, "Louder! Louder!" Palin thought they were protesters, looked toward them and said, "I hope those protesters have the courage and honor to give veterans thanks for their right to protest."

You're wrong. Why do you think she got booed?
are you seriously telling me that there is "No one" who would boo Obama
SOME of you guys (and gals) in here are pathetic in your partisan bias...are you seriously telling me that there is "No one" who would boo Obama...get serious. Please, I thought you were smarter than that. Maybe I was wrong about a few of you. Don't let your enthusiasm for Obama destroy your common sense.
I'm pretty sure the people who wrote no one would boo Obama were just trying to get your goat, HV. Seems to have worked.
There's nothing particularly extreme about booing, especially at a sports event.

I think it's your bias that is getting the best of you... Of course no one is literally saying "no one" would boo Obama but it wouldn't be like this scenario. I ask you again, why do you think Palin was booed?
Yep, you're right. But I also got a few "goats" myself.
His bias? What bias? He's repeatedly claimed to be an Obama supporter.
Well now it seems that the baby daddy of Bristol Palin has decided to quit high school with one year left, something he'll need for the rest of his life to go out and work. I don't find that admirable I find it stupid. Are there really no family members willing to help out for the next 7 months so this boy can get an education to support his family for the rest of their lives?
