PHILADELPHIA (CNN) – 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.

As Palin stepped onto the ice before a capacity crowd to drop the puck, joined by her daughters Willow and Piper, the arena's jumbotron flashed a futile message to the thousands of notoriously harsh Philadelphia sports fans in attendance.

"Flyers fans, show Philadelphia's class and welcome America's #1 hockey mom, Sarah Palin," the massive electronic message board pleaded, to little effect. Booing quickly erupted when the smiling candidate emerged from a tunnel leading onto the ice, muffling the applause of any Palin supporters in the crowd.

Some in the audience simply gave her a thumbs down gesture. Others called her names.

Palin spent about a minute and a half on center ice, posing for pictures with Flyers captain Mike Richards and New York Rangers assistant captain Scotty Gomez, an Alaska native. The crowd commotion was sustained for her entire time in the rink.

They just did what NewsWeek wouldn't do. I'd consider that "retouching."

Max Herzog · 10-12-2008, 09:31 AM

Fox edited the booing out? Hahaha. I'm surprised they didn't replace it with some stock crowd recordings. You know, like the final of American Idol, or the sustained rapture of the Nuremberg rallies.

To me it sounded more like Fox's sound quality was crap rather than censored.

They just put a high pass filter on it to roll off the bottom end where the booing sonic energy lies.

Oh my god what is wrong with me, I actually feel sorry for her. Oh wait, it passed. False alarm, nothing to see here.

FlipperPA Peregrine · 10-12-2008, 02:26 PM

So, no surprise that the owner of the local hockey team, The Flyers, whom I love, in Philadelphia, is a rich old white guy.

Show me a single sports team in the US of A that isn't owned by a crusty old white Republican.

That said...

...Sarah Palin was called on, last night, to drop the first "puck" at the Flyers home opener (that's hockey, for those of us who are sports-averse).

I've never been prouder to be a Flyers fan. Despite the best rigged plans of Comcast (who owns the team, and the channel doing the broadcast), and their hockey mom contest, and they "over the speakers piped in cheering"...

THE BOOS COULD BE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR. I've got it on TiVo, from the broadcast, but this home made video makes it much more clear. The Red Wings have the cup (FUCK YOU RUBY) but we have the greatest honor ever - watch. I've never been prouder to be a Flyers fan:

YouTube - Sarah Palin Booed Loud, seat view. Flyers game.

We win.

PS - Yes, I felt bad for her kids, but she should have known better.

PPS - I really like the "ASS-HOLE, ASS-HOLE" chant that broke out.

I'm a Philly guy. Sorry about that.

Flipper,

I merged the two threads - great video, that is the best I've seen of it.

I saw another version of this and had the same feeling -- especially for the youngest girl. I imagine the poor thing is like a deer in headlights most of the time anyway and being booed must have been unsettling.

A sporting event just didn't seem like the right spot for politiking -- the hockey moms, dads, et. al. weren't having it.

I would have something to say about this, but I doubt it's worth it. Maybe later. If you beg me!

Counterpoint
Please Keep Your Voice Down, My Poor Retarded Child Is Sleeping

By Gov. Sarah Palin, Republican Vice Presidential Nominee
Palin

Shhhh!

Could you please stop tearing apart my record so loudly? I just put my special needs child down for a nap. You remember my poor, Down syndrome baby, don't you? The developmentally disabled child I carried to term despite knowing that he had special needs? The child who would be helpless without my constant care and attention? Well, he's just nodded off, and if you continue to provide such damning evidence of my inexperience in both foreign and domestic policy, you'll wake him.

You wouldn't want him to start crying, would you?

It's very rude of you to keep pointing out the myriad reasons I am unfit to be the governor of Alaska, much less vice president of the United States of America, when you know my Down syndrome–afflicted son is trying to get some much-needed rest. If you wanted to question my qualifications as a leader, you should have thought of that sooner, like, say, before I gave birth to a retarded child who would probably starve to death if I weren't so selflessly and courageously dedicated to him.

Actually, he'll probably be sleeping for a while, so maybe it would be best if you came back later. Perhaps this afternoon, or in a couple of months. It's just that he gets so tired having to struggle with even the simplest tasks that you and I take for granted. Because my special needs son has Down syndrome, you see. My child has Down syndrome. And, as the mother of a baby with Down syndrome, I would appreciate it if you stopped bringing up my nonexistent energy plan while he sleeps there, like an angel.

My beautiful, special needs angel.

I assure you, I have every intention of responding to your claims. Sarah Palin does not run from a challenge. Like the challenge of raising a child with Down syndrome. That's what I've been doing for five months now, and let me tell you, it is hard work. But I wouldn't trade a moment of it for anything in the world, not even for more time to respond to the gaping holes you've just punched in my candidacy. Did I mention he has Down syndrome?

Now, if you'll please back away quietly without saying anything else—especially about my recent comments regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and how they illustrate my complete lack of even a basic understanding of our economy—I'll forget this whole thing ever happened.

And so will my vote-stealing retard baby.
