- Nolla283, on 10/11/2008, -6/+199Right on - I heard this live and the boos were loud indeed, as they should have been. I was hoping for a hot dog thrown squarely at her head, but I'll take what I can get.
- MonumentMan, on 10/11/2008, -3/+155they booed santa in philly
was there ever any question that they'd boo alaska barbie?
oh, and they blared, and i mean blared music at the game so it would drown out the boos. losers. owned by comcast the right wing channel. - swavalier711, on 10/12/2008, -2/+146Meh, we tried. Music was LOUD though.
- sepsis13, on 10/12/2008, -2/+140From FOX news...
"The GOP Vice-Presidential nominee said at an earlier fundraiser that she would stop some of the booing from the rowdy Philadelphia fans by putting her seven year old daughter, Piper in a Flyers jersey. She said, 'How dare they boo Piper!'" - piniella, on 10/11/2008, -4/+138So much for "America's Hockey Mom" I guess Philly isn't ALL bad. :-)
- froston, on 10/12/2008, -4/+121If you saw it live, and not in youtube quality. Behind Palin the entire time was a dude with an OBAMA BIDEN sign.
This is the only time ever I can say good job Philly. - Beevo, on 10/12/2008, -1/+99Thank you Philadelphia, you helped restore a little of my faith in humanity today.
- fishbeef33, on 10/12/2008, -2/+83The Flyers of the 1970s would have just checked her into the boards.
- sepsis13, on 10/12/2008, -2/+72She finally got to see what REAL average Americans think of her, and what a great mom too, trying to use her kids as human "boo shields," she's always throwing her kids under the bus.
- fishbeef33, on 10/12/2008, -1/+69Just when you think she can't go lower...
- strawberry, on 10/12/2008, -1/+67There's a clip with better sound quality at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7TgDanmWkg
- catsandbeer, on 10/12/2008, -1/+62I'm surprised piper didn't give them all the finger
- MonumentMan, on 10/12/2008, -2/+60here is a picture of the people holding the Obama/Biden signs
http://www.delawareonline.com/blogs/2008/10/boo-bi ... - Buraken, on 10/12/2008, -2/+58"I was at this game in a luxury box" Just had to throw that in there did ya?
- Beevo, on 10/12/2008, -2/+57Thank you Jeffler, not trying to steal any of your thunder here but there's a clip with better sound if anyone is interested.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7TgDanmWkg - Zyla, on 10/12/2008, -1/+53They had to turn the music up to drown out the boos!
- coltrane68, on 10/12/2008, -2/+54This was a really obnoxious stunt of Ed Snider, the hardcore rich-guy Republican owner of the Flyers and Sixers. Luckily, Philadelphia, the beautiful city of my birth, is progressive, tolerant, and lucid enough to recognize what a complete piece of junk Palin is.
- DFutureIsNow, on 10/12/2008, -5/+55Good. Time for Sarah Palin and John McCain to realize their politics of hate are not welcomed in America.
Obama/ Biden '08 - amoirae, on 10/12/2008, -2/+43You lie even when evidence shows otherwise. Do you work directly for the campaign or are you just a free lance whore?
- ray86, on 10/12/2008, -1/+33reminds me of bush throwing out the first pitch at the nationals game to the sounds of booing
- Micchek18, on 10/12/2008, -2/+34video from the seats...anyone saying there were no boos are as delusional as mccain and palin:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXNetpeu_mk - mishelly888, on 10/12/2008, -1/+32Wow I can't stop laughing. Go PHILLY!
- Mujokan, on 10/12/2008, -2/+31Even Fox News says she was booed.
Also:
"The GOP Vice-Presidential nominee said at an earlier fundraiser that she would stop some of the booing from the rowdy Philadelphia fans by putting her seven year old daughter, Piper in a Flyers jersey. She said, “How dare they boo Piper!” - brilong87, on 10/12/2008, -1/+28Haha, I think any REAL hockey town would boo her...
I'm a Buffalo-nian and we're definitely democrats. We're working class people.
Other than that simple minded analysis - let's analyze this from an educated perspective. McCain's camp is not fighting fair - and now it's even come down to racism?
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/12/opinion/12rich.h ... - inactive, on 10/12/2008, -3/+28hockey fans and their gotcha politics tsk tsk
pwnd
and how sick of palin to parade her kids in front of a hostile crowd to use as human shields
also bringing her 17 year old pregnant kid to a hockey game after getting knocked up by a hockey player? nice mom much? - apastafarian, on 10/12/2008, -2/+25It was nice to see Piper. She looked so sweet and pure, and in just 4-5 years she'll be a mom too.
- AmazingSteve, on 10/12/2008, -1/+24Back to the cave Pedobear. Nothing to see here buddy. Sorry.
- chaosium, on 10/12/2008, -0/+22***** liberal elitist latte-drinking hockey fans!
- SoulDrift404, on 10/12/2008, -2/+24What a *****!
- quisph, on 10/12/2008, -1/+22Unsurprisingly, you can't tell how pregnant Bristol is by looking at her sister.
Listen at 0:23. The announcer says, "and her children, Willow and Piper." You're looking at Willow. - paintgrl, on 10/12/2008, -1/+22I did not hear the boos it sounded like static, but I did see the Obama signs :)
- Mujokan, on 10/12/2008, -0/+21Dugg for "boo shields"
- chaosium, on 10/12/2008, -2/+23They were saying Booooo-urns, Sarah. Don't worry your pretty little head about it.
- Browzer, on 10/12/2008, -0/+21Reminds me of that scene in "The Dead Zone" when president Martin Sheen holds up the baby to prevent himself from getting assassinated:
http://blog.cleveland.com/ent_impact_movies/2008/0 ... - linagee, on 10/12/2008, -1/+19"Were you shouting boo or boo-urns?" -Montgomery Burns
"I was shouting boo-urns." -Hans Moleman - Kellyloggs, on 10/12/2008, -1/+18No, we threw snowballs at Santa. No one does open, seething hostility like us Philly people! I was hoping for more than boos...Sarah Palin is certainly more deserving of our "hospitality" than Santa!
- tehnico, on 10/12/2008, -2/+19Wheres bertuzzi when you need him
- Misinformant, on 10/12/2008, -0/+16"I am sorry to report, but as I was at this game in a luxury box and I can tell you"
-that I was wearing a top-hat, monocle and choking on caviar and champagne? - Jeffler, on 10/12/2008, -0/+16That's because my TV tuner is a pile of ***** and I need a new one. :P
- VinnieDaMac, on 10/12/2008, -6/+21They weren't booing, they were just loudly chanting Palin out of sync and just happened to sound like booing!
- icebrand, on 10/12/2008, -0/+15they didn't even include crowd noise on the video on the flyers website
check it out

going to philly of all places. she's lucky not to have been the target of an "*****" chant or have things thrown towards her. fans in philly are merciless - fish93, on 10/12/2008, -0/+15Piper? We boo McNabb, We boo Iguodala, We boo anything our team does that we deem *****. Piper doesn't stand a chance.
- V0lk, on 10/12/2008, -1/+16haha....welcome to PHILLY!
- theblueprint, on 10/12/2008, -0/+14I'm from Cleveland; home to this kind of fan activity:
http://rurl.org/12h6
http://rurl.org/12h7
That said, we have *nothing* on Philly fans. I would have been disappointed by anything less. - LowROI, on 10/12/2008, -0/+13the video on that page also has much better audio quality.
- Jeffler, on 10/12/2008, -1/+14DId you happen to be getting drinks from your open bar and hear your fellow repubs in the box clapping?
- jonmlm, on 10/12/2008, -0/+12hah. like no one from philly is vouching for what really happened? check the comments. check philly.com. you're gonna have to try harder. god, why am i bothering, you're obviously not from philly.
- sagien, on 10/12/2008, -1/+12Filly is badass.
- uskomaton, on 10/12/2008, -0/+10The City of Brotherly Love :P
