Comments for Palin booed at NHL game in Philadelphia »

Posted By ameliog 1 year, 1 month ago in Sports

Although many Philadelphia Flyers fans cheered and clapped as Sarah Palin took to the ice at the Wachovia Center on Saturday night to drop the ceremonial puck kicking off this town's NHL season, their warm reception was no match for the 90 seconds of sustained booing that rumbled through the arena, drowning out most of the cheers in support of the Republican vice presidential nominee.

      The city of Philadelphia is strongly Dem; the suburbs and outstsate are more mixed. Demographics of the crowd could be a factor.

      Also, in all professional sports, Philly fans are notorious for being "boo birds". They have been known to boo the Easter Bunny.

        So I guess that doesn't say much for Palin.

            Maybe they booed her because she's a Montreal Canadiens fan.

            Do you think the Detroit Red Wings crowd would be likely to cheer her? Or the New York Islanders? Or the San Jose Sharks?

            The old green eyed monster tends to do things like that. It is a Democratic stronghold, and the Dem's Broad lost. So it could be jealousy . LOL

            This is supposed to be an election for president not PR rock star. You are hiring the CEO of Firm USA. Who do you want to run the firm, a manager with over 25 years experience or the newly hired stockboy?
            If you complain about Palin's experience to be VP candidate where does that leave Obama? She has more real experience than he has. Or is Obama really running as Biden's VP?

              Sorry, you are wrong about the Churchill quote.

              Winston Churchill never made such a quote. If you google it you will notice that he was misattributed with saying that. And besides even if he had, conservative politically speaking and based on policy versus 'conservative' found in America are two separate things. Fiscally speaking, the modern day conservatives are economic disasters and not 'fiscally conservative' at all. They are also heavily influenced by the ridiculously powerful religious lunatics vote... so American conservatives now are more of a special case and should be called Religious Conservatism.

            go to youtube and type in "Sarah Palin BOOED at hockey game"

            lots of stuff pops up.

            at the end of one video, shot by a fan, the fans are talking after Palin leaves the ice and you can hear someone say, "Its such a terrible start to the season."

            and this is supposed to be her crowd. hilarious.

              Hey I won't knock it.

              It gave the NY Rangers a win over in that game.

              Ok, maybe it's just me but despite the fact that I might not want to see Palin in office anytime soon, I still feel sorry for the woman. She seems to be a sweet lady, I'd like to see anyone deal with as much as she has to on a daily basis ... but hey I'd be the first to agree TINA FAYE is HILARIOUS!!

                Sweet ladies don't call a US Senator a terrorist by innuendo. No, she's no 'sweet lady.' She's a bitch.

                  Hey AdrienE86, like I've said to your female business partner "Erin" last night, don't be spamming comments in here adding it with your link...reported and negged.

                  You two are looking to get yourselves banned in Propeller I'm telling you.

                  :o[

                  McCain/Palin talk about how they will 'reach across the aisle' and unite the country. Their rhetoric is purely divisive and dishonest.

                  All you have to do is listen to the logical inconsistencies in their statements to see they will tell any lie necessary to get elected.

                  "We will reach across the aisle" but we "are mavericks who will fight anyone"....so they will create peace by fighting?

                  McCain was asked in the last debate about ways to stimulate peace in the world...his top of mind response was how americans fight, kill and die to preserve peace...lol.

                  He's said he will cut taxes and rebuild our broken down infrastructure...lol

                  In the same speech they say a multitude of logically incompatible marketing taglines and soundbites written up for them by the RNC marketers.

                  You just have to watch and listen to see what divisive liars they are.
