The view from the press box as Sarah Palin posed with members of the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers.
The view from the press box as Sarah Palin posed with members of the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers.

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.

Palin's showing did not appear to help the Flyers, who looked hapless in the first period, giving up four goals to their rivals from New York. The governor stayed to watch the first two periods with family and staff in the box of Flyers owner Ed Snider, and by the time she departed the Wachovia Center for her hotel, the Flyers had narrowed the lead to 4-2.

Sarah Palin is "Bad News for this country. Her message is not one that resonates in this period of American suferring. After "W", we certaintly cannot afford a Scout Leader as VP.

kelvin   October 12th, 2008 9:02 am ET

Eventhough I am not from Philly, reading about their act makes me appreciate that city. A true American City which stands for all that America is – don't settle for less! God bless Philly.

She's out of her league!

Karen   October 12th, 2008 7:50 am ET

Thanks Philly! I'm a Met fan but now I'm rooting for your Phillies!

I was hoping that would be the reaction she'd get. The so-called "hockey mom" was booed at a hockkey game- how ironic.

And how inappropriate for Ed Snider to inject his politics into the arena and then expect fans to comply with this choice. Well, it backfired. Even with the loud music trying to drown out the boos and Palin again dragging her kids into the fray, it was obvious that this was a mistake. But I can guarantee if she would have been applauded overwhelmingly, the McCain campaign would have used that video over and over. Too bad.

terry   October 12th, 2008 7:22 am ET

Finally she gets some neg. taste and how she is NOT a hockey mom. and now reaching to soccer mom's...sigh..go back to Alaska and as they refer to us(outside..lower 48) don't go outside again once you reach wasilla.

Stephy   October 12th, 2008 7:02 am ET

Lets see if she can spin this and make it Obama fault. She and her sidekick have tried to pin everything else on him. Oh look the sun is comming up...That's Obama's fault.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

You get what you give, in this case hate.

Hispanic for Obama   October 12th, 2008 3:50 am ET

People in Philadelphia are just showing Palin their displeasure with her scare tactics. For every 1 person she's gained, she's lost 2 for McCain.

LOL I love this. Thanks America!!

Jason   October 12th, 2008 2:42 am ET

I'm not surprise that she has been booed.
The vicious hateful things that have been coming out of her mouth has no place in America today. She is an extremist

Vivita Johnson   October 12th, 2008 2:33 am ET

I guess she is not the "hockey mom" she thought she was. We as a American country need real solutions not this pretty woman attitiude.We have lost everything as a great nation except our dignity now we don't want to lose our respect because we want to shelter the hockey mom from asking tough questions. McCain is looking for a vice -president not a vice governor.

Nicole in Ga   October 12th, 2008 2:25 am ET

After Palin's hate rallies this past week she deserves to be booed. Who does she think she is coming out of nowhere in Alaska and trying to cause race wars and hate down here ? Nothing like this happened in a long time until she opened her big mouth. Shame on John McCain for choosing such an running mate who now has an ETHICS violation. She should never again open her mouth to ever question the character of anyone.

Enzo - Canada   October 12th, 2008 2:23 am ET

I'm afraid this might be one of the nicest responses she could get considering all her racist references (dating back to her speech at the convention, by the way). I'm really happy to see that people are standing up against racism.

Shirley-Ohio   October 12th, 2008 2:22 am ET

Her personal attacks on Obama has ruined her reputation, not to mention her troopergate. There is always a respectable way to campaign without the negativity.

Scott Stump   October 12th, 2008 2:22 am ET

I knew I liked Philadelphians. Way to go Philly!

Uche Enyioko   October 12th, 2008 2:22 am ET

Gov. Palin, you got what you bargained. This is price of abuse of power, lies and negative actions against innocent citizens of our great nation.

PEACHES of LA   October 12th, 2008 2:21 am ET

2008 – 2012 – Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden

I approve of political competition but I do not approve of political character smears. When one opponent starts to smear the other that convinces me that they are trying to hide something. I am an Obama supporter AND A CHRISTIAN because he is a CHRISTIAN, a gentleman and does not have to stoop to the level of McCain and Palin.

Palin, I don't give you credit for being a sensible person because you burst onto the campaign and immediately agreed to be a "bull dog mouth piece." It is sad that you don't recognize what they are doing to you. Sorry you missed your true title. I was proud of you as a lady getting a chance to show that we can do a good job when given the opportunity; however, you have failed us ladies but you have satisfied that other party that will stoop to any measure to win. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN! You do not look cute when carrying out those scripts – definitely not looking like a beauty queen!!! YOU WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT SO YOU NEED NOT CAMPAIGN FOR IT NOW – UNDERHANDLEDLY! Poor McCain can't see your tactics.

Diane   October 12th, 2008 2:20 am ET

I hate to hear of anyone being booed.... but when you compare that to the hatred that the McCain campaign is creating.... well I guess the booing may have been deserved.

Angela   October 12th, 2008 2:20 am ET

Palin was found to be unethical

Palin is married to a separatist

Palin put her town in debt by the time she left her position as mayor.

Palin intially OKed the "bridge to nowhere" until she was pressured to stop it.

Palin OKed the "road to nowhere"

Palin was pathetic in answering questions from Katie Couric.

The Flyers fans felt they were seeing Bush when they saw Palin.

Colin   October 12th, 2008 2:18 am ET

I watched several videos of this and I love how they had to crank up the music in an attempt to drown out the BOOs for Palin. She's no hockey mom and every woman/mom I have talked to is offended by her claims of being this "hockey mom" and trying to use that to relate herself to everyday people. She deserved it, tells you what america really thinks of her.

Sick&Tired   October 12th, 2008 2:00 am ET

GOOD... she deserved a good set of robust boos. I can't wait until this election is over. The republicans are really starting to look like a band of domestic terrorist themselves. So hateful and then have the nerve to claim so much faith and religous riteousness.

Sandy   October 12th, 2008 2:00 am ET

Wonder how Sarah felt with the shoe on the other foot. Think this will convince her teach her 'supporters' to become more tolerant?

Artola   October 12th, 2008 1:51 am ET

LOL!!!! I think I love you Philadelphia!!!! Tables have turned. She didn't seem to mind having people boo Obama at her rallies, now she sees how it feels to be booed! What goes around comes around As I recall McCain was booed on the trail when he visited a factory Looks like calling yourself a hockey mom isn't going to seal the deal, Sarah! By the way, aren't her children supposed to be in school. I know that this is a Saturday night, but it seems like they spend a lot of time on the campaign trail – all except for Bristol that is. I remember seeing them at the debate and that was for sure a school night.

sarsh   October 12th, 2008 1:50 am ET

Palin ought to arrested for inciting the public to commit atrocities on Obama.

Tom, KS   October 12th, 2008 1:49 am ET

Former Republican forObama   October 12th, 2008 1:48 am ET

Proves people in the real world are tired of the Palin stunts. It's the economy stupid. The sad thing is after this campaign she won't have a career left in politics, she's too stupid to realise Mccain is going to recover just fine after they loose, while she gets to do all the dirty work and get blamed. Even now, people are excusing Mccain as a conglicted man who is being forced to go negative, while painting Sarah Paling has a mean spirited, rascist, war mongering, radical fanatic!!

Rachael, Orlando   October 12th, 2008 1:47 am ET

Sarah-time to take the gloves off even if McCain is afraid. Your huge audiences (60,000 in Orlando and 100,000 coming up Monday in Virginia, and the 70 million who watched your debate) all want you to take charge of this campaign and bring it home. Listen to the people and you will overcome.

Palin is Incompetent and Unfit   October 12th, 2008 1:46 am ET

Thank goodness Americans are finally standing up for the real and decent candidates of Obama and Biden and rejecting the false and hate-mongering tactics of McCain and Palin.
Palin has been caught and convicted of abuse of power and ethics violations in her State. These are impeachable offenses under the Alaska legislature.
We have already seen how ignorant and foolish she is. We have certainly seen the level of hatred, rage, and violence she openly causes and supports against Obama. The Secret Service is now investigating the McCain and Palin campaign for the tone and violence they are promoting. It rises to the level of Hate Crimes and is a Federal offense to threaten the life of a Presidential candidate.
McCain today acts "shocked' when one of his closest friends, the honorable John Lewis of Georgia, calls him down for the hatred, intolerance, and violence he is inciting and not denouncing. I am "shocked" McCain and Palin have not been arrested for what we have witnessed by them this week.
I can barely find words for how appalling their words and behavior are. They are disgusting and certainly are not Presidential material. The only thing they lead is hate, rage, and violence rallies. They are both unfit for office. Their own Party is denouncing them and yet they are still unrepentent. Is this what we want as examples for our children as to how our leaders behave?
I mute the TV every time a McCain ad comes on TV because I know it will be nothing but lies and hate language. I think the media should take a moral stand and stop running McCain ads and stop covering their hate rallies. The crowds are even now attacking the media at their events with racial slurs. The media should stay away.
Palin should be booed everywhere she appears. She is a disgrace. She is a hypocrite to the so-called religion she proclaims. She and McCain both are proven liars. FactCheckers have found 90% of their slander of Obama to be false and misleading. The truth doesn't matter to them. They just keep repeating the same lies that have been discredited over and over.
McCain and Palin should apologize to the nation for the level of hate and lies they have brought before us. Never have we seen such appalling behavior in a national campaign. They should be ashamed and the Republican Party should be ashamed of the image these two portray.
McCain and Palin are unfit for office. They have no decency, no character, and no integrity left. McCain is too old and Palin is totally incompetent. All Americans should reject their words and their behavior and send both back to the holes they crawled out of. Talk about un-American!

Robert S.   October 12th, 2008 1:44 am ET

They tried to turn the PA up louder to drown out the boos. Didn't work. Ed Snider should be ashamed of himself.

Dorian   October 12th, 2008 1:43 am ET

lol !! now that`s entertainment!!!!

Tracy-Oakley   October 12th, 2008 1:42 am ET

If she was truly a hockey mom then she should have known that she was going to get booed; so why in the world would she bring her young daughter to this event...How stupid can the McCain camp really be? geezzz

voter   October 12th, 2008 1:42 am ET

What a joke. Palin should go back to Alaska

tex   October 12th, 2008 1:41 am ET

truth be known she she probaly can't play hockey ,we know she is clueless about politics. go home ,raise your children SARA.

Timmy   October 12th, 2008 1:40 am ET

For once I must say, good job Phili!

Greg, San Francisco, CA   October 12th, 2008 1:40 am ET

She should never have been invited to drop the puck in the first place. I feel little sympathy for Sarah Palin given the way she has handled herself of late, but quite a bit for Willow and Piper. They should never have been put in that position. Another great parenting decision to go along with 'not blinking' when you were asked to join the ticket knowing your daughter was pregnant and would soon become the focus of national media attention.

Amy, NY   October 12th, 2008 1:38 am ET

Makes no difference. 100,000 people are turning out to see her Monday in Virginia at NASCAR. Sarah is the future and she'll be running for president in 2012 and again in 2016.

Once she gets that loser and wimp McCain off her back, we ll have her in the White House.

Meanwhile it's unlike;y that the wimp appeaser Barack Hussein Osama will last 4 years. He'll probably be impeached as unemployment reaches 20% and people are selling apples in the street.. Oh what a sweet day that will be as Osama and his angry racist wife packup to leave the White House.

You Reap What You Sow   October 12th, 2008 1:36 am ET

this getting painful out here for Palin/McCain.........Her actions this past week is coming to the forefront. Voters are looking for positive message not negativity and her speech on the stump has been very hateful. McCain should do something about Palin before he self-destruct because it's obvious to me Palin is looking to help herself for 2012. This is no longer John McCain's campaign........that is another obvious point.

BadPolitics   October 12th, 2008 1:35 am ET

No video? Although i don't like her a single bit, I wish people were more respectful. No point in being cromagnons.

Richard Besel   October 12th, 2008 1:35 am ET

Although I do not agree with a number of Gov. Palin's policy positions (see richardbesel.blogspot.com), I thought this story was a sad one. I can't imagine how I would feel if I were running for office and so many people decided to boo me. But then again, maybe if she had different policy beliefs she wouldn't get as much negative attention.

Kate   October 12th, 2008 1:33 am ET

I AM A FEMALE CONSERVATIVE VOTER AND I HAVE BEEN APPALLED AT HOW JOHN MCCAIN AND SARAH PALIN HAVE BEEN RUNNING THIS CAMPAIGN. SHAME ON THEM!

SOME CHRISTIAN VALUES THEIR PALIN!

OR IS THAT A FAKE CHRISTIAN!

babs   October 12th, 2008 1:30 am ET

Palin please do not be part of this circus anymore and just go out with dignity – for your children's sake. Remember, everyone will ALWAYS have access to the internet and instant video from now on.

Peace.

so i guess the people in Phillie saw the witch come out,I thought the Kenyan preacher prayed it out of her at her church,the film was shone on national TV ,she need to go back to him with all the nastiness shes been saying about Obama,dont she know as ahe call herself a christian that god dont like ugly his power wins everytime

fmr. Hillary Supporter now for McCain   October 12th, 2008 1:28 am ET

Ignorant, stupid and self righteous people have no respect for humanity. but then again the people who booed Palin aren't human at all.

But that's OK because the more she's attacked, the more popular she becomes and she is getting more popular.

So keep up the good work, Ignorant, stupid and self righteous "HUMANOIDS".

No surprise, we all knew this was going to happen. She's lucky they didn't throw things at her...So could someone tell me why she would bring her young daughters with her?
Why would she knowingly want to expose them to this?
She has decided to play the game & have a major roll in it. Her under age daughters should not be part of it.

Mia and Mike   October 12th, 2008 1:25 am ET

Gotta love Philly! But I don't know why she would want to subject herself and her daughters to this. Philly is heavily democratic, and although this was a national hockey game with devoted fans, including hockey moms, this was just not her type of crowd. These are extremely hardworking folks who can see through bs as clear as day.

Paul   October 12th, 2008 1:25 am ET

Way to go Philadelphia......Thats what I call a well deserved warm reception for "The Hockey Mom"..... Ya Know Joe, I can still see Russia from my front yard........ OBAMA 08......

James   October 12th, 2008 1:24 am ET

There is no surprises here. This lady incites and divides people like no other politician in recent history. I have been out registering voters , and in has been amazing how many very angry Republicans are changing there party affiliation. Many of these folks have some very choice words for Palin.

Ray Fisher   October 12th, 2008 1:24 am ET

I hope someone sticks a puck in her mouth to keep her from saying something stupid. Next time, let Tina Fey do the honors!!!

Ken   October 12th, 2008 1:24 am ET

Perhaps she should try Edmonton or Calgary next time. Or maybe Phoenix.

Cathy   October 12th, 2008 1:23 am ET

Where is the headline that Palin gets McCain's position wrong again on a foreign issue. Now it's regarding North Korea and removing them from the terrorist list. Does McCain and Palin even talk to each other when they aren't campaigning together???

steve   October 12th, 2008 1:22 am ET

Support for Palin has dwindled down to the hard, bitter core. If she can get booed that loudly at an NHL game (even in Philly), it's game over.

Fred   October 12th, 2008 1:22 am ET

I hate them for being ahead of the Dodgers in the Pennant race.... But when it comes to politics..... the Philadelphia sports fans are A-OK!

JERMAINE   October 12th, 2008 1:21 am ET

I almost feel sorry for her...almost!

okified   October 12th, 2008 1:20 am ET

Palin deserves to be booed by normal Americans for several reasons. First her appeal to the worst side of human nature in her hate-filled rallies.
Second, her denial of wrong doing in what was clearly an abuse of power in her crusade to get her brother-in-law fired, putting all her employees in a very difficut position.
Thirdly, for dragging those children with her everywhere as props. Why aren't they in school? Why is that poor special needs child constantly seen being dragged off a plane or to a rally or fundraiser in the middle of the night? She's every cliche that women have struggled to overcome in order to be taken seriously. She looked so surprised when she heard the boos–doesn't she understand the people that worship her are an unbalanced and ignorant few?

sarahinfla   October 12th, 2008 1:19 am ET

What goes around come around....McCain / Palin just don't get it. They can not win with just there base....The country is headed down the toilet. and we need to unite. Because our enemies are waiting to pounce. Instead of uniting the country and preparing for the worst. McCain / Palin continue to create hatred and sow seeds of seperation and destruction.....John McCain no honor...John do you really love america?

Mike O'Brien   October 12th, 2008 1:19 am ET

Sometimes, I think, what kind of 'fastasy world' does Sarah Palin live in ? When 'reality' sets in, today, tomorrow or a week from now.., with last Thursday nights 'debate' and previous 'interviews'.., Sarah Palin is "not" ready for prime-time or to be Vice President or President. Senator Joe Biden, Charles Gibson and Katie Couric proved that. Sarah Palin is way over her head and 'out of her league'. The best thing for the Democratic Party is Sarah Palin. Mike in Montana

C W   October 12th, 2008 1:19 am ET

Cool! Philly calls 'em like it sees 'em!

AVR   October 12th, 2008 1:17 am ET

Total Lack of Judgement,

Why would Palin subject her young daughters to that torment. Hockey fans or not, Philly is strongly democratic. After the heated week, she should know that she wouldn't get a warm reception. Considering the fact that the fans had been drinking, I can only imagine the ugly language the kids might have endured.

Why would she subject her kids to that torment just for a Photo OP?

Achille Salesh   October 12th, 2008 1:16 am ET

I don't know what is she looking for, Mrs "Power Abuse".
She was asked a tongue-in-question :" why did Alaska sold 75% of his oil to China ".

She stupidly said it wasn't that much amount that was sold to China.
So the questionner just laughed at her for ignoring how goes the State she's ruling.

Amazing for a VP. A Woman who should became commander in Chief if Granpa Mc Cain decide to rest a little in a nursing home, or if the Creator states his final sentece for John.

sylvia   October 12th, 2008 1:14 am ET

I think palin ought to be ashamed of herself for inciting klu klux klan tactics against obama. Where does she get off in saying that obama "pals around with terrorists" when she herself is inciting violence among crowds to harm another human being...she needs to check herself because she herself is a Terrorist. Another thing, she keeps harping about obama not being 'truthful" when she herself has lied about her role in the Troopergate firing. This woman is a VINDICTIVE EVIL human being (wolf in sheeps clothing if you will, isn't this in the Bible?) and has the audacity to call herself a "Christian"..GOD help us all...in the event she could (although very unlikely) win the VP position, for those of you who voted/sided against her in any way (voiced negative remarks, voted for Obama, made fun of her , etc...) you better beware lest she does what she did to her brother-in-law to you...she will send out her Dude dog to getcha(wink)

Indepedent for Obama   October 12th, 2008 1:11 am ET

Toxic, selfish, liar. Why did McCain pick this woman? Romney, Huckabee, even Ron Paul would have been better. But this woman has step on the scene, launched out some of the most divisive rhetoric ever at a convention and now our country is more divided than I have witness in at least 20 years. Shame and sad.

Mark G   October 12th, 2008 1:11 am ET

Serves her and the McCain campaign right. They shouldn't be pushing her off where people don't want her...oh wait...that would be as a VP candidate as most people in America see right through her and don't think she belongs here.

sometimes i wish this country still had the aspect of respect, especially when it comes to our leaders, even if we may disagree with them.

FRAN   October 12th, 2008 1:10 am ET

Sarah better prepare for more of this.

Sadie, Dayton OH   October 12th, 2008 1:09 am ET

LOL! What do you think of 'Joe Six-Pack' now, Palin? Your cutesy, ditzy persona is NOT what we need in the White House! You're telling me of the MANY qualified, intelligent women Republicans to choose from, this is the best McCain could do? She couldn't get a warm reception amongst her hockey 'peers'!

Michelle   October 12th, 2008 1:07 am ET

Hate brings back hate! She brought this all on herself. I just wished she didn't drag those sweet children into all of this madness. Todd Palin should have been watching his kids instead of "playing" Governor of Alaska. How is he going to hold "Governor" meetings with the Alaskan officials, while Palin wasn't around. How can she control the country (if McCain dies) if she can't even control her own man! Todd stay home and take care of your children. Your wife does not need you as a shadow, but your children NEED a parent!

Ummm – I guess ole' Sarah P. (and J.M.) should take the response as a sign that they aren't as "popular" as they would have hoped. Sure it's one thing to be received sooo warmly when their out on the campaign trail but these were REAL people and not just folk's who think or believe that they're going to save them from that terrible terrible Obama. What a shame to have one's children with you when you're given a resounding booooo. Mommy what does booo mean?
Uhh I guess it means that we're really popular honey. Now go to bed...

Bradley In Colorado   October 12th, 2008 1:06 am ET

I always liked hockey. Palin kinda started ruining it for me for a while back there (what with all the "Hockey-mom" gibberish), but now it's all good.

this was the sound byte of real hockey moms...shall we say !!!

AllGodsChildren   October 12th, 2008 1:04 am ET

Awwww...not all hockey moms are "fanatics," are they, Sarah?

Guess ultra-conservative, nut-case crowds are the ONLY ones cheering for you from the FAR right...you just lost the campaign for your new friend, John McCain! He shot himself in the foot when he brought you on board. You better believe it!

Tsk, tsk. You know God rewards those who play fair and without hatred and bigotry and punishes those who sow seeds of discord and division. You didn't understand that from reading the Good Book? But hey, good luck back in Alaska! When the dust settles, you can settle down and be a good little grandma to your teen daughter's illegitimate little bundle of joy. YOU betcha!

Palin is now a footnote.

1. There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his (her) hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing. (Emphasis mine) Macbeth – Shakespeare

Hurray ! Bravo ! Those Philadelphia fans are no dummies ......
They can see through the Bull . They will not be used by " the hockey mom "...... They are known for their great Philly Cheese steaks , not for being idiots .
Those people paid their good hard earned money to see a great hockey game , not to see the ice queen from Alaska .
She is also a terrible role model, what with her family situation .
She needs to go back to Fargo , or northern exposure , or where ever the " Heck " she comes from . She and John McBush appear to be tearing the country apart , with their retoric , and lies .

chris   October 12th, 2008 12:51 am ET

I'm sure McCain will want Obama to "repudiate" the fans that booed Palin... or will call them "unpatriotic" since they weren't wearing lapel pins or something... or claim they're all "extreme/divisive/angry" and nothing like GOPsupporters.

I don't like Palin, but I feel sorry for her, mostly because her children were there and no one wants to have that done in front of their kids. She did not look like it bothered her, but the kids had to see their mother get booed. She should just stay away from sporting events, all politicians should.

According to FOX (of all people), Palin intentionally dressed her 7 year old daughter in a Flyers jersey and brought the girl out onto the ice in order to dampen the crowd's boos. Palin apparently bragged about this at an event earlier that day.

Using your children as human shields against criticism – what's wrong with this woman?!

Philadelphia, I take back every single negative thing I have ever said about you. I am a diehard hockey fan and your team has given me nothing but grief over the years. But I will say one thing about Philadelphia, they always tell it like it is. They don't BS around and are straight and upfront. Good job on showing Sarah Palin shes isn't wanted in the Oval Office. Loved it. I am so proud of you people it makes me almost want to be a Flyers fan. Almost. LOL

The twisted,sneering out of context messages they are so frivolously spewing. By the time they finish their desperate, feeble try at winning the election I will need a shrink. I can't believe how they keep repeating such dribble. "But what goes around comes around"
We should send Palin back to Alaska where they need her with a gift basket of lipstick, hockey pucks,and a subscription to the NewYork Times .

Sarah Palin might be a nice person on the surface but I believe that she is a very sneaky person, she lied about her daughter, her going out with her husbands business partner, the bridge, the idea that she saved money as a mayor, the firing of the alaska police commissioner. and if this is what McCain believes is the most qualified person to be vice president out of all the people in this country, McCain should be the one people are scared of not Obama.
McCain left his wife for a rich woman after she stood by him when he was a prisoner. He also has lied about being for the veterans check with the veteran organizations, of all people he should be with the veterans. He was a prisoner but he never saw war.

Well, it seems the press will not do their job here, so the people will do it for them huh?
Yes, the press should be all over the fact that the McCain campaign has said that the panel that investigated Palin was all Obamas people, or because of Obamas people. NOT TRUE! The panel was a BIPARTISON group of 12 Alaska legislators started 3 years ago. Of the 12 members, 8 were republican, and 4 were democrat, and they all voted unanimously on the descision, as well as to release the report. The head prosecuter is a very well respected strong conservative. By the way, the very conservative Alaska Supreme Court also voted unanimous to allow the probe to continue after the Palins attempted to shut it down. Everything about this reeks of lie after lie after lie. DO YOUR JOB PRESS!! Way to go Pennsylvania!!!

From the outside looking in it looks very dirty and shallow. Then theres the whole ethics question, what a suprise. It must be a Republican prerequisite to do whatever it takes to get your way no matter who you kick around. I really hope their campaign of hate doesn't lead to another 4 years of Bushism as ultimately it will filter down negatively to the rest of the world including my country.

Now, I hear, she's complaining that "they booed Piper!"

Perhaps if you'd quit using your children whenever their appearance serves a political purpose, you'd understand how ridiculous you sound.

I only hope that Piper is too young to realize how badly her own mother is treating her by using her as a political shield.

USA don't need any more problem than what the USA already have. So at this point somebody need to drag Palin by the arm and tell her to get the stepping or hit the road Jack and don't come no moe no moe no moe.

Susan   October 12th, 2008 12:29 am ET

Finally, a reality check for Palin and her handlers. She has been kept so isolated in rallies that are in highly conservative areas that it is conceivable that this is the first time that she has seen that she is less than popular in the wider world.

Obamacrats and Obamcans we must not stop now. The Gop will do whatever it takes to take us off message these last couple of weeks. Don't let these polls fool you, we are going to win this election by making our case to the American people. By speaking to the single mother, the uninsured student, the underpaid underemployed teacher, the unemployed factory worker, the newly registered American, the college student who doesn't know how they are going to pay for school next semester. The senior citizen who's fixed income is barely enough to pay for the medicaid. The young entrepreneur seeking capital to start the new technological driven idea, the veteran who needs rehabilitation and care, I could go on all day.

That one and some 08

Not a surprise that in a city where crime is on the rise and 32.5% is African American, the highest in the city, that they would boo for anyone who was not the mighty Obama.

Most people this election are not voting for a candidate whom they have listened too and accept their beliefs. This election is very simply, the vote for the person you want to see as president regardless of what they believe in.

Obama could be for guns and gang killing and the african american community would be for him as much as he is now telling them to take responsibility for their kids, to be good parents and so on.

John   October 12th, 2008 12:27 am ET

This is the most ridiculous campaign I have seen in my whole life. How in the world Mc/Palin campaign can run away from these kind of comments saying they do not believe in it when it is said in one of their own campaign to their supporters. If they want to correct these kind of pastors, they should do that in front of that same audience right there, not afterwards. It looks like they are trying to really dividing this ailing nation and not sure where is their true love that they claim for the country. I am simply amazed how a true Christian will ever say some thing like this!!!

Way to go Philadelphia. It's about time that Palin got some of her own medicine. She has been spewing so much hatred–I hope that she realizes now that the vast majority of Americans don't like what she has been doing and aren't afraid to let her know it. I hope that this is the beginning of the end of Sarah Palin.

Go back to Alaska and deal with your ethics violations, Palin–we don't want your kind of politics in the lower forty-eight.

Hawaiian Dude   October 12th, 2008 12:26 am ET

Palin needs to wake up and see what's happening to their campaign. It is turning out to be a mockery and a joke. I can't see how America can support the Republicans to lead our country. McCain can't even contain those pathetic losers at his campaign and Palin's character is starting to look like Miss Piggy with lipstick. What a joke!!!! The person to blame for the Republicans demise is McCain. He thought he could get the votes of Hillary when he picked-up Palin; however, he is now regretting his choice of VP and I bet he now wishes he had chosen either Romney or possibly Huckabee. The true winner at the end will be Obama and Biden. Watch how Presidential both of them look when they are conducting their speeches during their campaign and debates. The more McCain and Palin speak, the more Obama and Biden will increase in their lead in all polls. Time for the Republicans to shut-down operation. Aloha from Hawaii!!!!!!

I guess the relization that americans are not very fond of her will sink in sooner or later.

GlenR   October 12th, 2008 12:25 am ET

Check it out on YouTube they blasted high volume music the entire time she was out there in an attempt to mask the boos. She's pathetic. The kid looked scared

ooouch!   October 12th, 2008 12:25 am ET

that hurts....how ever, you reep what you sew

LAURA in PHX   October 12th, 2008 12:25 am ET

Well, people are angry at the kind of campaign Palin and McCain have been running. It seems obvious to me that Phili fans do not appreciate the "hockey mom" as much as she thought they might.

TYPICAL RADICAL OBAMA SUPPORTERS WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND DEMOCRACY AND RESPECT FOR WOMEN. THEY BELIEVE THAT AMERICA SHOULD BE RULED ONLY BY MEN.

mike   October 12th, 2008 12:24 am ET

Nice to see that at least the Philly fans know a lying, phony inexperienced, hate mongering candidate when they see one. I wonder if she would come to New York, perhaps for a Ranger game.

Toni Cheeks   October 12th, 2008 12:23 am ET

This shows that people in this 'Great Country' is not fooled by Sarah Palin's attempts to take over America. Please go home!!!!

Mark G   October 12th, 2008 12:23 am ET

She needs to be booed back to Alaska. People are starting to realize how incompetent she is as a candidate. Every time she opens her mouth adds points to the Obama side.

Glad to hear it being reported CNN. She has no business being 2000 miles from the White House let alone VP nom'.

florida democrat   October 12th, 2008 12:22 am ET

Americans should be worried about the security of the next president. Republicans are just breeding hatred against the Barack Obama and Democrats are replying with the same towards McCain/Palin. Its scary to think how the supporters of the losing team will react when this is all over in 3 weeks.

kravitz   October 12th, 2008 12:21 am ET

Fox noted that "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!”

So Sarah Palin has the publishing media by the short hairs. Not only does she not get challenged on Troopergate by making the media follow her rules, but she drags her daughter on the ice in a pre-planned stunt after abusing power in Alaska. And no one catches that.

Just how asleep at the wheel are these people? And do the ones paying these alleged 'reporter' know or care where their money is going?

Jerry25   October 12th, 2008 12:21 am ET

Sarah should stick with appearances in front of her far right wing evangelical audiences. She deserves to receive boos.

Joe Six Pack NOT   October 12th, 2008 12:21 am ET

Govenor Palin's actions, since her nomination, confirm that she is NOT Vice Presidential material and, further, is so lacking in political common sense, that she has destroyed the career of Senator John McCain worse than Senator Obama ever could. Her behavior will be documented in Political Science Books as examples of what NOT TO DO when running for national and even local political office. I don't know how Alaska could ever have elected her govenor, but Alaskans will end her run as govenor by the next voting cycle. It would be best if McCain would send her packing back to Alaska and hope she is never heard or seen from again.

Melly   October 12th, 2008 12:21 am ET

PEOPLE of AMERICA ARE NO DUMP and SHE CAN"T FOOL THEM ANY MORE.

Undoubtedly the booing came from those hostile and rude New Yorkers.

cindy   October 12th, 2008 12:20 am ET

not that i support palin..that one...but booing like this is also very childish and crude.

Mike, CA   October 12th, 2008 12:20 am ET

In a month she will be history. Gone and forgotten. Please don't ever mention Palin as a representative of anything but the Alaskan population that chose her as governor and Mistake McCain that chose her as VP. She is not America's #1 anything.

Correction: She is America's #1 shame.

Alex   October 12th, 2008 12:19 am ET

When the group isn't packed with Palinbots, the result is predictable. She is NOT popular. She is a divisive and polarizing person. She has no place in national politics.

nelda   October 12th, 2008 12:18 am ET

She got booed because of her continual lies about Obama and her record in Alaska. She cannot admit that she used HER HUSBAND, not an official, to conduct her business in Alaska. She thinks she's above the law.

Lydia, Georgia   October 12th, 2008 12:17 am ET

The Macain Campaign has thrown out baseless buzz words such as mysterious, terrorist, etc and even a few of his supporters have even suggested that the financial meltdown is due tto "Minority" morgage forclosures. Well guess what your radical base has connected the dots. Now we had Hitler essentally do the same thing to the Jewish people in Germany when he blamed everything wrong with Germany on the Jews. This led to the systematic murder of millions. So I do not see a big leap to think that this racist rethoric might actually insight an attempt upon the Obama or Biden's life. Macain knows the type of leadership he hired to run his campaign and he knew their racist conservative ideology so don't tell me he is clueless in all this. We know have an informed and engaged electorate and this vailed racism will not go unnoticed.

Janice Crowley   October 12th, 2008 12:16 am ET

I don't blame them for booing Palin. Palin thinks she can attack her opponents unfairly and then found guilty of abuse of power as if she above the law. It should be clear to her now that every arena she walks into isn't like the hateful, biggot rally's she holds. The country doesn't like what Palin and Mccain are doing in this election and hopefully that was a wake up call for Sarah who doesn't think she has to talk or answer the same American people questions she wants to vote for her ticket. Sarah ask for our vote but refuses to answer our questions. Keep Mccain/Palin out of the White House the country doesn't want their decisiveness and hatred.

Lou II   October 12th, 2008 12:12 am ET

I know Palin can not feel good about herself. She supposely a christian, but having to lead a dishonest campaign regarding issues I am quite sure she doesn't believe. I know she can't wait until this election is over so her life can turn back as close to normal as possible. She looks tired to me. I think this campaign is taking a toll on her. Just imagine what it would do if she becomes vice president or possibly president.

Pat   October 12th, 2008 12:12 am ET

Way to go Philadelphians! America needs more Patriotic Citizens like you to stop this Riot Inciting Republican Charade of Leadership that McCain and Palin are displaying across the US. KUDOS! I just hope more Cities and States will follow your lead.

Bellamy   October 12th, 2008 12:11 am ET

Philadelphia fans booed when baseball games were stopped in the 70s to announce moon landings so this is nothing new.

Seriously,PALIN is a bad luck every where she goes.She has caused more harm than good,her baggage is too much for one to carry.She is a dis grace to womanhood period.

Bob Taylor   October 12th, 2008 12:11 am ET

The fans at the hockey game in Philadelphia must have had a different opinion about Sarah Palin being America's #1 hockey mom.
Philadelphia hockey fans can be tough bunch when you are on the wrong team.

Seriously, what was palin thinking walking into a sporting event in an overwhelmingly democratic town that loves to boo things they dont like. The only thing she could have done worse is do all this while wearing a Dallas cowboys jersey...

kuriya   October 12th, 2008 12:10 am ET

Im happy they booed her she tell lie and she is dumb. I wonder why Alaska chose her. As christian I don't think she is a true believer of the Bible. All what she says and do is not from the bible but from her ambition. She thinks she will be vice president no way.

Clay V   October 12th, 2008 12:10 am ET

Jeannie Baltimore, MD   October 12th, 2008 12:10 am ET

Well, well, well, people are finally seeing the light. Your abuses have finally come to the light. Don't try to blame this on Senator Obama's team. Everyone knows this investigation started long before you announced as VP nominee. Hockey mom, it's time for your to take your brood and head for the hills. You will never be vice president, we don't need a female Dick Cheney.

maurice   October 12th, 2008 12:10 am ET

the sad thing of this is. even if people dont like her. im sure there will be post saying way to go philly. while you self rightous folks hate on both mcain and obama. other than a few miss guided folks. i have heard more hatred come from the supporters of obama than both campains could even dream to muster. both men have given respect to each other. both have said something about the other as being honorable. both have agreed at some point about certain issues. and yet the majority of americans just want to hate. why perhaps your checkbook doesnt exist anymore. but to lose your cool and be hatefull about either canidate is beyond all i believe.personally i doubt that i will vote for either of them and will probly vote against anyone that is in congress and the senate that i possibly can. i dont hate any of them. it is not mcain and his party or obama and his party that got us into this mess. it was greedy crooks. and some of those greedy crooks are in the senate and congress. both republican and democrat.. go look at all of there voting records there you shall find the truth to what you seek. and it is also joe and jill average american that has over spent what they dont have. and if this post makes you mad then perhaps you are a joe or jill that has done exactly that. we are all guilty of helping the economy go down the tubes. so if you 1 of the many haters that have posted here and are all to willing to point fingers dont forget the three that are already pointing back at you. go look in the mirror and start being responsible for your own actions. and hopefully they have a write in section of the ballet so i can help vote hilliary clinton out of the senate.....and into the oval office. and no folks im not a sore loser when it comes to hilliary. but she is way better for the job than mcain or obama. as a matter of fact i have voted for a republican president since regan. although im not a republican. it has been my choice for the office of president . wake uyp and quit your hating. before you get sent to a corner without supper.

DrewPitts   October 12th, 2008 12:10 am ET

I don't know if I should laugh or feel sorry for Palin. I mean, what did she expect showing up in a sports venue primarily dominated by Democratic supporters (in terms of Philly having a 2:1 Dem registration and turnout). At the same time, she had two of her daughters with her, and that makes me feel bad for Palin. How did her kids feel standing there while their mother was booed? Palin should not have had her kids there in the first place.

West Virginians For Obama   October 12th, 2008 12:09 am ET

Eric   October 12th, 2008 12:08 am ET

I think it is getting obvious, even though the networks won't report about it, that Palin is the Manchourian candidate. It's just that they forgot to implant the brain chip before letting her loose.

Bigbubba   October 12th, 2008 12:07 am ET

It is, quite simply, too late to remove this cancer from the Republican Ticket without appearing to be even more of a fool than McCain already does. He was under the mistaken impression that any woman on his ticket would bring in Hillary Clinton's supporters. He had no idea that the Clinton women were thinking women. That they would see through Palin's rhetoric. That women want a female candidate that speaks to the issues as an equal, not simply parroting McCain's 1950's outlook on women.

Now it turns out she is indeed a perfect match for McCain. She uses her influence unethically to promote her own agenda. Much as McCain did when influnencing the Air Force to give 45,000 American jobs to France because of an unreasonable hatred of the Boeing company.

Brian   October 12th, 2008 12:06 am ET

Looks like Joe six pack didn't really appreciate Gov. Palin turning their beloved Flyers game into a cheap contrived and poorly orchestrated campaign event. Well she knows now that she does speak to all hockey moms and dad or regular Joes. She is so over and time to head back to face the music in Alaska.

Justin from CT   October 12th, 2008 12:05 am ET

No East Coast state would like Palin, except for the racist ones.

Palin got what she sowed! Thank you Philadelphia for turning it back on palin. let her and Mccain see outside of there base people donot agree with the hate they sow. Go back to Alaska Igloo barbie.

Donnie   October 12th, 2008 12:05 am ET

This is gross recreation of what actually happened at this hockey game. I went to this game and I was shocked to hear how many people cheered for Gov Palin. As far as the boos. They were hardly heard and lasted for less than a few seconds. I would estimate maybe 40 people booed with nearly everyone else giving her a standing ovation. CNN should be ashame of themselves for allowing a reporter create and write such a blatant lie.

PJC27   October 12th, 2008 12:03 am ET

By accepting the VP nomination Sarah Palin set women back 20 years. She is a perfect example to men why women should not be in the whitehouse. She should have declined citing unreadiness. She is making a lot of women very angry.

KW   October 12th, 2008 12:02 am ET

People want solutions, and unfortunately the McCain camp is forcing Palin to be rediculously mean-spirited and hateful.

Notallchristians   October 12th, 2008 12:01 am ET

I'm an evangelical Christian and feel sad and sorry for not only this pastors but so many who continue to conflate religious beliefs (and in this case Christian faith) with politics. Let's say many of us are praying for Obama and trusting that God is with him and with us however this election will turn out. As for me I will vote for Obama and feel that my vote fully is in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ – caring for the poor, oppressed, widow and orphan.

Mike   October 11th, 2008 11:58 pm ET

I'm very liberal. As a public figure and a leader I find Palin's philosophy and policy misguided and dangerous. Despite this, reading this story makes me feel sorry for her. It must have been painful for her. Remember everyone, respect your foes, or you're no better then them.

julie   October 11th, 2008 11:57 pm ET

I think the disrespect shown to Governor Palin is born out of her recent speeches. You reap what you sow. You put out negativity and it will return to you. I am still praying for peace.

herman   October 11th, 2008 11:57 pm ET

it does not seem that she is really helping McCain much. She seems committed to losing this election for the GOP. He has got to be doubting his decision. wonder if she is really a democratic.

Shannon   October 11th, 2008 11:57 pm ET

I thought Obama supporters were above all the hate and pettiness. Guess not, they are no different than McCain supporters, they just like to be hypocritical about it. Thugs!

Chiara   October 11th, 2008 11:56 pm ET

Sarah Palin is a psychotic proto-fascist. She is a religious fanatic and, unlike Bush, she can't even fake it. She is so dumb it is scary that 189 year old McCain selected her in the first place. All her rallies are just like Bush & Cheney–select people only, everything prescripted. Bring her out to the real people and you will see what they think of her. She will be rejected everywhere. As a woman, I am ashamed of her and sick to the core at where the Republican Party has gone. We need to take the Republican Party back from the Neo-Fascists. I'm voting Obama this year!

MWA   October 11th, 2008 11:55 pm ET

If Palin would just get the puck out of the campaign, McCain might actually reach his goal.

Papasan in Arizona   October 11th, 2008 11:55 pm ET

The last resort of all Failing Republican Campaigns are the Right Wing Looneys! Sure Republicans are mad, they are waking up from a long peaceful Bush slumber, to find two morons [McCain/Palin], with a disturbing megalomaniac love affair with themselves, out of touch with our Nations true issues, and running a revolting Smear and Fear campaign! That's a tough wake up call, "MY FRIENDS"!
The McCain solution is an Ignorant Slang Talking Power Abusing Junk Yard Dog [Palin] scrambling around the Nation drumming up Racist Bigotry to smokescreen the obvious inept incompetence of the McCain/Palin campaign! Americans face the hardest financial disaster in the History of the USA, this is your idea of Change! John McCain / Sarah Palin have no idea what Americans trying to survive face. 401K plans gutted, Unemployment, Foreclosures, and the Global Economy in disarray...
McCain/Palin are a disgusting self serving disgrace. Clearly proving they are not up to the complex task of keeping the Nation together in hard times.

P.S. McCain, please do not come back here to Arizona.

Melissa   October 11th, 2008 11:55 pm ET

M. S Redmond WA   October 11th, 2008 11:54 pm ET

There we go again McCain is inciting the crowd by repeating over and over "I am angry, you are angry". He and Sarah Palin are seriously trying to create a situation to cause arm to Obama. How sad! How desperate McCain and Palin are.

As for Palin, she deserved to be booed by the Hockey crowd, who does she think she is. She is illiterate to begin with. Ms Beauty with nothing more to offer. Why does she have to trail this poor little baby to her rallies? Why aren't the other kids in school? That woman IS NOT, I reap IS NOT a good mother. A good mother would not use her kids that way, like a circus. Also if Obama had a 17 yr old pregnant daughter, not married they would be saying see"Black people are such and such".

May be she should continue to work on the separation of Alaska making it a country as she and her supremacist husband planned.

VOTE FOR OBAMA. MY GOD WE NEED A CHANGE . THIS GREAT COUNTRY DESERVES A CHANGE.
VOTE OBAMA

Palin's photo op visit to the Flyer game should be a memorable experience for many years to come. Here she received first rate response, in the spirit of the Roman Coliseum, by red blooded Americans unlike the extreme right wing raciest demigods she excites at partisan rallies. Well done Philadelphia Flyer fans!

Speider   October 11th, 2008 11:51 pm ET

And so the downward spiral continues. Within the next two weeks, Palin will step aside for "family concerns" and a new VP will come aboard with very little time to undergo any scrutiny by the press.

It will be a candidate with enough excitement to give the GOP a bump, but will it be enough?

Mndonor   October 11th, 2008 11:51 pm ET

It's very simple.Sarah Palin got what she was looking for from the Philly crowd-–Boos and more boos.My question?what was she doing in there? No judgement shown just like when John McCain turned up on the VIEW and got a rude awaking. Sarah Palin -you are no hockey mom ,you are a sex mom and i hope this teaches you to stay away from hockey rinks. PA will vote for the DEMOCRATS so don't waste your time and money.

As for Palin, she deserved to be booed by the Hocky crow, who does she think she is. She is illiterate to begin with. Ms Beauty with nothing more to offer.

May be she should continue to work on the separation of Alaska making it a country as she and her supremacist husband planned.

Eddie   October 11th, 2008 11:48 pm ET

Wow. That story actually makes me feel sorry for her. I may not like her but I would never boo her. Looking forward to election day.

Al in Atlanta   October 11th, 2008 11:47 pm ET

I betcha all the hockey moms and Joe six packs in the crowd were cheerin forrah (er..for her)!

Nee-cee   October 11th, 2008 11:47 pm ET

PALIN failed to realize that in the world of hockey, there aren't too many minorities (i.e., african americans, hispanic, asians, latinos, native americans) so she only connects with less than one quarter of the majority anglo-saxons that seem to agree with her. Those that agree with her are either ignorant, misled and don't want to know the truth; which will set them free to enjoy a world that's liberal enough to embrace anyone that wants to make a positive change; not just any change for the sake of change. I believe the people of Pennsylvania knows a wolf in sheep clothing with lipstick on.

Thank you to the well educated hockey fans of Pennsylvania.

No McCain/Palin, CA   October 11th, 2008 11:47 pm ET

being such a good christian I am sure she has heard that you reap what you sew, so she deserves everything she gets. McCain/Palin campaign have tried everything to spread negative, hateful comments & ads about Obama. They would like to see him destroyed which is obvious everytime they speak. They have nothing left except attack, attack, attack. It will not work this time. No McCain, No Palin, No Way, No How.

Rock A. Allen   October 11th, 2008 11:46 pm ET

# 2 ... Sarah Palin..... two minutes for excessive power!!

Tony in Atlanta   October 11th, 2008 11:46 pm ET

Looks like Karma Commeth!!!!!!!!!! All the nasty things she has been saying is coming back on her. Welcome to politics Sara Palin!!!!!

al   October 11th, 2008 11:46 pm ET

Ha ha, excellent work Philly. Wish I'd been there. This is what happens when they let her out out into a crowd of people that haven't been hand picked by Steve "bullethead" Schmidt and Grover Norquist.
I can't wait to see these loathsome people lose.

JP   October 11th, 2008 11:45 pm ET

It must be the fault of the elite eastern media.

Illinois Blue Dog   October 11th, 2008 11:45 pm ET

Even though I've spent the past 10 years in Chicago, I was born and raised in southeast PA as a Philly sports fan. Gotta hand it to Philly fans; they know how to make their voices heard. So much for Pennsylvania being a swing state. Palin is about as popular in Philly as the Cowboys, the Celtics and Santa Claus.

peggyledbetter   October 11th, 2008 11:45 pm ET

Only 3 words to say....good for her!

Go Flyers   October 11th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

Way to go Flyers fans!!!!!!!!!!!!

Serious Voter   October 11th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

She's showing her true dumbness by showing up to a Philly game. Didn't somebody tell her that these fans booed Santa Claus. Somebody must of told her she was special. NOT!!!

Sean   October 11th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

Politics and sports just don't mix. Go and watch the game, but don't become a spectacle. Leave the politics off the ice.

Thomas   October 11th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

I have a new respect for Philly fans

Jake   October 11th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

Lol.

Monica   October 11th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

She deserves boo's as does the whole Republican party for allowing the incendiary remarks from their candidates and for not denouncing remarks made by people in the stands against Obama. They are working on scare tactics, trying to anger people, and spreading hatred.

insanity   October 11th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

(add my voice to that)

L MCP   October 11th, 2008 11:43 pm ET

It seems that every demographic hates her. That's too bad Sarah Failin'.

Miley   October 11th, 2008 11:43 pm ET

The whole world is booing.

Kathy in CT   October 11th, 2008 11:43 pm ET

Finally Miss Congeniality reaps the rewards of her hateful, ugly behavior. Lucky for her it's only boos - compared to the comments she encourages in her supporters (ranging from treason/traitor, to "kill him" and "off with his head").

When she emerges from the protected cocoon of invitation-ONLY rallies where the only people she encounters are born-again McCainites, interesting for her to see what real Americans think of her.

Boo, indeed. Glad the Flyer fans were so polite - she got a lot better than she dishes out.

Diana Carrington - Wellsboro PA   October 11th, 2008 11:43 pm ET

Take that, Caribou Barbie. How does it feel to have anger and hatred directed at YOU?

DD   October 11th, 2008 11:43 pm ET

Say it ain't so Joe! Tee hee!!!

OBAMA SUPPORTER 2008-2016   October 11th, 2008 11:43 pm ET

Oh well Palin, I guess you are not as popular as you thought you were. Maybe if you stopped to think that as a Christian God would not want you to be an attack dog. Is that was Jesus did? Does Gods word condone liars?

Rich ND   October 11th, 2008 11:43 pm ET

Yeah Philly tell it like it is!

Cindy   October 11th, 2008 11:42 pm ET

Journalism is indeed dead!!! I listened to the video of Sarah Palin and I heard no boos. Wow!! I thought a true journalist only reported the facts. You should be ashamed!!!! How disgusting!!!

Bennie   October 11th, 2008 11:42 pm ET

In Philadelphia they have booed Donovan McNabb, Ryan Howard, and Santa Claus, and they like them. What did she expect.

mmd   October 11th, 2008 11:42 pm ET

Why would a mother subject her two little girls to that. That totally dejected palin. At some point you have to ask yourself if palin is an unfit mother. I am sure that she knew that the crowd could and probably would act the way that they did. I felt sorry for those two little gilrs who looked so confused and afraid.

palin is political trash.

Gina   October 11th, 2008 11:42 pm ET

Wow – that warms my heart. Thanks Philly!

Hockey Dad   October 11th, 2008 11:42 pm ET

awww... poor Sarah. Maybe someone should say some nice things to her to make her feel better.

But seriously, she couldnt have been surprised. Does she actually think that people outside of Alaska like her??

Andrew   October 11th, 2008 11:42 pm ET

The good people of this country have had enough. It is our time to take back this country. Obama/Biden '08

Susan in Florida   October 11th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

Thank God... I hope this is a sign that we're finally coming to our senses!!

All moms in Florida who have daughters should be volunteering for the next three weeks at your local Democratic Campaign Headquarters. Our right to choose is in jeopardy if Palin has her way! Even in cases of rape and incest.
We need more volunteers in Florida! Volunteer for the future of our kids.

texan2step   October 11th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

This hockey mom is as fake as they can get. The correct response from the crowd who knows when they spot a fake hockey mom.

DeVone   October 11th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

Hockey mom #1 booed at the hockey game that is what you call in the wrong place at the right time

Kirk   October 11th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

Guess flyers fans aren't fans of governors that have been proven to have abused their power. Good for them!

Angela   October 11th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

I think that is wrong, just wrong. What is wrong with people? I am a Obama supporter through and through, but the thought of people having no regard for the fact that she was with her two kids just floors me. Politics aside, her kids do not deserve that and it would be wonderful to think that Americans would stand on the principle of caring about those kids first. Yes, I realize she is putting her kids in the spotlight, and I really don't agree with that either, but I draw the line with going along with people behaving this way. Shame on each and everyone who boo'd her.

E   October 11th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

Finally the people in philly are booing something I can agree with!!

Marti Wooton   October 11th, 2008 11:40 pm ET

Good for the people who bood her. I boo her too!!

Dee 4 Obama   October 11th, 2008 11:40 pm ET

I thought all the "hockey moms' were just like you Sarah "Plain" . I guess you were lying about that also. You should be ashamed of yourself. Everytime I see your innocent childred on the campaign trail with you, I get disgusted. They should be home enjoying things with their friends and being children. You are such a wanna be!

BOOOOOOOOOOO!

Don from Maine   October 11th, 2008 11:39 pm ET

Caribou Barbie had a dose of reality. It seems the American people have woken up.Can;t blame this on gotcha journalism. Palin is the most pathetic vice presedential pick on the last 40 years. Smears and lies are not going to work. Americans want real leadership and a real plan for our future. McCain has to be beside himself over the latest polls. Time for McFossil to retire and Caribou Barbie to go back to the frozen north. Can you say Obama in a landslide? Stick a fork in em-this ticket is done.

Kristin   October 11th, 2008 11:39 pm ET

I am not a hockey fan, but thank you Philly for showing Palin that she does not represent you just because she is a "hockey-joe six pack mom"...I love you guys in Philly.

Thank you guys.

former hillary supporter in north carolina   October 11th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

Gov. Palin seems to be getting some of the hatred back that she's been spewing out over the past few days! I guess Americans aren't as racist as you thought, huh Gov. Palin! They won't allow your racist hateful words divide this country any further. It's time to come together!

MP   October 11th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

If I saw Dick Cheney in drag skating onto the ice, i would probably boo too.

Good job Philly.

RevC   October 11th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

Mebbe they shoulda only allowed McCain/Palin *supporters* into the rink – then the news would have been about "thousands expressing fervent adulation as the Alaska governor took the ice."

Flyers fans are a tough crowd, for sure, but there's more to this: people – outside the safety of the controlled venue – just don't like the bulldog...

Tom   October 11th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

serves her right, after all the stuff she made up on the trail

Reginald   October 11th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

The NHL should be ashamed of playing politics with their teams. It makes a Flyer fan feel like his team endorses Palin.

henmak   October 11th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

I think as always sports or games don't usually go with politics. Fans think you are wasting their time.

K.NIX   October 11th, 2008 11:37 pm ET

OBVIOUSLY, SHE ISNT AMERICA'S FAVORITE HOCKEY MOM-HA!!

Mike in San Diego   October 11th, 2008 11:37 pm ET

She is over her head and out of her element she needs to go back to Alaska.

indy chris   October 11th, 2008 11:37 pm ET

Philly isn't backwoods PA, Sarah!

Did you really think that because you're a "hockey mom" that these people would see you as anything other than the vacuous, race-baiting danger that you are???

This campaign is clueless!

KBC   October 11th, 2008 11:37 pm ET

BOO!

Sheko, Kansas City MO   October 11th, 2008 11:36 pm ET

I'm glad she got booed, her and her bad luck cost them the game.

Obama for President!
Biden for Vice President!!

peter, CT   October 11th, 2008 11:36 pm ET

Not quite whatch'yer use to, is it? Welcome to the rest of America, where rural hockey mom's are NOT what is wanted in the White House. I hope it was as rude an awakening. I can only hope that she'll begin to realize that this is a diverse country with a diverse populace that doesn't want their government to box them into the same mindset as the small rural town in no-mans-land Alaska that she calls home.

Andrea   October 11th, 2008 11:36 pm ET

Jon   October 11th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

I'm for Obama and I'm not a big fan of Palin so when I tell my fellow DEM'S. It's ok to boo but name calling lets leave that to the REPUBS. We need to stay above that. Lets keep our eye on the ball and the issues.

Pennsylvania Native   October 11th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

Nice, Just wait to she gets in front of 100.000 car fans, you wont be able to hear the car driving...

non hockey fan who votes   October 11th, 2008 11:34 pm ET

Guess someone figured it was another safe location for a Palin PR event, except sports fans come from all sorts of backgrounds and don't all see everything the same way.

I'm really interested to see how they play this one off, sure they'll find some way to blame the media for not reporting about all of the supporters who cheered her on!

juan amaya   October 11th, 2008 11:33 pm ET

Well these Reps instigate hatred in their rallies. The redneck old geaser saying that Obama was an Arab shows how these Republicans are so IGNORANT it is not even funny. It is really scary that year after year goes by and America still is the laughing stock of the world because of things like these. Democrats are not perfect but Repubs are so ignorant it pisses me off.

People vote for the candidate with the best proposal to solve the economy, war and capture Osama and impriove national security. Jesus America wake up, it is not cute anymore!!!! Palin deserved the booing, see how it feels.

Michael, Port Hueneme   October 11th, 2008 11:32 pm ET

Wow, that must be a horrible feeling to be booed and yelled at like that. I wonder if she will remember that the next time she starts inciting her "fans" to start yelling racial epithets, and things like Obama is a "terrorist" or "traitor". You betcha she wont!

Josh   October 11th, 2008 11:32 pm ET

I really wish Palin would stop using her children as political props. I feel terrible for Piper to have to endure that booing. And it can't be good for the teenager's self-esteem. The hockey mom should have known before hand that hockey fans-especially in Philly-can be rowdy and boo everything! But yet she chose to bring her young child as a 'booing shield'. Think about it, the baby is at almost every rally and non of them are in school! Most average Americans go to school when they're 7 and a teenager. I guess Sarah Palin's kids are special in some way.

Tammy   October 11th, 2008 11:31 pm ET

I would have loved to have been there!!!

Wilva in NC   October 11th, 2008 11:30 pm ET

Thank goodness that most of the country is seeing this gimmick pick for what she is. She is an insult to intelligent women. It would seem that the shameless Republican brand is at its end. No one wants these preachy, hypocritical and mean-spiritied people in charge of our great country any longer.

EVERYWOMAN !!!!   October 11th, 2008 11:30 pm ET

I UNDERSTAND THE BOOING, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN PALIN'S BEHAVIOR FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.

1.) SHE IS THE SECOND WOMAN ON THE TICKET AS VP, AND THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!!! NOT TIME TO PLAY GAMES AND START HATRED OUT THERE.

2.) SHE ACCEPTED THIS POSITION KNOWING THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH EXP TO DO THE JOB.

3.) SHE HAS BEEN CAUGHT IN SO MANY LIES AND DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER ACTIONS.

WOMEN HAVE TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND WE NEED ONLY STRONG WOMEN LIKE HILLARY TO REPRESENT US. MEDIOCRE OR A PRETTY FACE JUST WON'T DO!!!!

ANOTHER THING I SAID THIS BEFORE IF AMERICA DON'T GET HERSELF TOGETHER SHE WILL BE FIGHTING A WAR OF HER OWN AND SHE CANNOT AFFORD THAT!!!!!!!!!

Brandon   October 11th, 2008 11:30 pm ET

Sounds about right. Dirtiest politician ever. Most people seem to realize it and don't want to applaud it. I'd be booing as well if I were there.

christian for Sen Obama   October 11th, 2008 11:30 pm ET

good, she need to go back where she came from. I hope she gets boooed all the way back to Alaska. I feel sorry for the people there.
this is 2008 not the way back ages. just is case she dosen't know that. women have rights. it is between a women and her family or God not up to Palin. I am just very pissed off at her...!

Marty duh Marine   October 11th, 2008 11:29 pm ET

Seems about right. She's been shielded from the public for these past five weeks and now we know why; the public thinks she's unfit and so does McCain.

Carlos   October 11th, 2008 11:28 pm ET

You know, I have as little regard for Sarah Palin as anyone but, for the sake of her children, I think the fans in the building could have shown a little consideration.

THis is dissappointing.

TyWebb   October 11th, 2008 11:28 pm ET

All she got was boo'ed? Anyone yell out, "kill her!"?

So much for Hockey Mom ....

fritzel   October 11th, 2008 11:28 pm ET

Great hockey fans in Philadelphia. I guess they know a real "hockey puck with lipstick". Keep booing until she crosses the Alaska border. Let's hope that she & the wolf killing "Todd the stud" stays there with her.

blue coastr   October 11th, 2008 11:28 pm ET

This is no surprise. Philly fans have always been a good judge of character. Or lack of it.

Chuck   October 11th, 2008 11:28 pm ET

Mrs. Palin"

The crowd was simply reacting to your lies, distractions, false accusation, false attacks. misinterpretations, and , misleading statements that you are spouting daly on the campaign trail. Doesn't that bring home to you what kink of candidate you are. Who are those people pulling your strings? You should be more discriminiting and selective about what you are saying on the campaign trail. Otherwise, you are coming across as a submissive Republican puppet.

I am copying the above comment to Mr. McCain, so he becomes aware, if he isn't already, of what you are spouting.

AUC   October 11th, 2008 11:27 pm ET

Hey Hockey Mom,

The Bible is true. You do reap what you sew!! And all the lies,hate and divisiveness that you and Grandpa McSame have heaped on Barack Obama will come back to your doorstep. God is not mocked, even by you!!!

Wake up America!!!!

It's moments like these that make me glad to be from Philly.

Al   October 11th, 2008 11:25 pm ET

John McCain had the option of picking more qualified female running mates for his ticket who would have had a lot more diplomacy.
As an Obama supporter, the most constructive advice I can offer John McCain at this point is that he had options such as Michelle Bachman, a seasoned Senator from Minnesota, Elizabeth Dole, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, just to name a few.

lovebaby   October 11th, 2008 11:25 pm ET

She was not welcome in Pittsburgh either. I am from Pittsburgh and work next to the hotel Sara Palin was at and she was meant with over 250 protesters with Obama signs. We don't want her here and Pittsburg showed that yesterday.

Big Ed   October 11th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

Gov. Palin: Your 15 minutes of fame has now come to an end.

Roger Ford   October 11th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

AP says polite clapping over rode the booing. Who is wrong?

A;ICE   October 11th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

McCains problem is sinple...Sarah Palin She almost started a race roit, now she is in Philly trying to stir right to lifers into a frenzy. I believe that she really has issues and she seems to be talking about an enemy instead of an opponent. Whatever belief system she brougt with her, she needs to take it back to Alaska quickly... It makes me nervous!

Hay Palin,

Shouldn't your children be in school??? I think you have taught them enough lessons about Politics and the way one should not perform on stage and in public. I feel sorry for you for the impressions you are leaving behind after your speeches. I wish you would read up on the facts and not use the total words of the McCain's campaign staff.
Mr McCain is a old man and should not be running for President. I know Cindy wants to be First Lady but I don't think that will be happening.

Steven   October 11th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

Serves her right for trying to bring right-wing politics to a good ole' hockey game. Hockey fans aren't blind followers.

McCain gambled one time too many when he picked Sarah Palin for his running mate.

I guess that Pennsylvania doesn't like Palin...

OBAMA SUPPORTER   October 11th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

Willow and Piper have been missing a lot of school lately.

cindy   October 11th, 2008 11:21 pm ET

Right on Philly! Hopefully, the McCain campaign will REALIZE that what they have created through their message of fear and hate is being rejected by the majority of Americans, regardless of party lines. We've had enough of it. Sarah Palin is unequivocally unqualified to serve in any political position. She needs to bow out, and return to moose hunting and the PTA.

Annette   October 11th, 2008 11:20 pm ET

Guess maybe not everyone loves her after all. Now maybe someone will get the message and you reporters will too.

D&D   October 11th, 2008 11:20 pm ET

What does she expect after her abuse of power?!

Michele   October 11th, 2008 11:20 pm ET

There were so many people cheering for her. It's a shame how this article was written.

Jerry Otto   October 11th, 2008 11:20 pm ET

I want to personally thank the Flyers for giving us Americans the opportunity to express our true feelings about your “Failing Hockey Mom”. So many of us ask you not to allow Sarah on the ice. Now see what you done. You allowed us to boo her off the ice. Nothing less than she deserves. I can predict you have lost many loyal fans, due to your actions. I hope it was worth it for you. So much for your principles.

abraxis   October 11th, 2008 11:19 pm ET

Hey Sarah, could you deliver that "boo" message to your keeper?

Wait, may be they weren't say "boo" at all. May be they were saying "you betchaaaaaaa...."

NC Voter   October 11th, 2008 11:19 pm ET

JAN   October 11th, 2008 11:19 pm ET

IM SURE ALL THE FLYERS WERE NOT FOR PALIN.......SO WHY BRING HER IN? CEO'S PREFERENCE?

I AM A MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER..AND I BELIEVE WOMEN CAN WORK AND BE A GOOD WIFE AND MOTHER. BUT ..IN THIS CASE...SHE ALREADY HAS A DAUGHTER WHO IS PREGNANT AND
A HANDICAP CHILD. THEN...IT IS TIME TO STAY HOME AND RAISE YOUR FAMILY. HER SIX YEAR OLD.ALSO, IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ATTENTION.

HER DAUGHTERS BOYFRIEND SAID ON HIS MY SPACE PAGE...HE DID NOT WANT CHILDREN...OF COURSE, IT WAS PULLED OFF.

BC   October 11th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

Doesn't she get that, except for right wing nuts and so-called 'Chrisitan' hypocrites, no one in this country wants her around. Sarah, go away before somebody drops a house on you...

I guess the people in Philly are just plain rude. I don't care if I don't like someone, I'd never boo them in any situation. I don't like Obama, but I wouldn't boo the man if he stepped onto center ice. This is just sad that some people have to show just how narrow-minded they really are.

anne   October 11th, 2008 11:17 pm ET

Also, what kind of a mother takes her kids out on the ice to be booed at with her after they've had to watch Mommy rally up the hate crowds all day? I'm all for a women in the highest office but not this woman. She doesn't know the first thing about dignity or respect or honesty!!!

Jim   October 11th, 2008 11:17 pm ET

Americans are showing that they recognize negative and deceitful behavior and do not support it.

Pfttttttttttttttt...........

Vivian, from Minnesota   October 11th, 2008 11:15 pm ET

You're hate filled rallies have provided a springboard for racial division and violence in America. Sarah, "Thanks, but no thanks", go back to your church and review again the scriptures you left behind in Alaska. Start with "Love the Lord with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself'"

Chris K   October 11th, 2008 11:15 pm ET

Check it out on youtube.com. Notice the Obama/Biden signs in the audience! Priceless! They couldn't blast the music loud enough to drown out the boos!

Jenny B.   October 11th, 2008 11:15 pm ET

It would have been even better itf the crowd started chanting O-BA-MA!

Jane   October 11th, 2008 11:15 pm ET

I am not a Palin fan at all but it is too bad that her children had to endure being booed. She is an adult politician and can take it. I felt badly for her children.

Jay   October 11th, 2008 11:15 pm ET

Thankyou CNN... The AP is reporting Sarah Palin came out to a mixture of cheers and boos.........
What bad reporting!!!! She got booed out of the Arena!!

mollyd   October 11th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

Go Philly. The fans make me proud to have grown up in the City of Brotherly Love. Philadelphians don't suffer fools too easily.....The story made me smile. Palin got exactly the reception she deserved. She should head back to Alaska and hunt some wolves from a helicopter....

Kryle   October 11th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

This very good news for Obama supporters, as Pennsylvania is considered an important battle ground and Philadelphia one of the more important areas of the state. It's not a scientific poll or anything but it nonetheless suggests of a strong undercurrent of dislike for Palin and for the Republican ticket.

Not4MoreYears   October 11th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

Makes me very proud to be a Philadelphian. Nice job, fellas.

Dan   October 11th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

Democrats are afraid of Palin, it seems. Name calling, investigations by partisans, and other tricks do not matter much.

Obama 4 Prez   October 11th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

The constant barrage of personal attacks against Barack, laden with hate code terminology, resulting in overt racist responses from the McCain supporters has reached its limit. Palin's experience on the ice is an indication that American's by far are over this type of negative campaigning...especially in the midst of a global depression!

warren smith   October 11th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

she is no hockey mom to me

Helen   October 11th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

Why is anybody surprised that this happened. If the Philadelphia fans can boo Santa Claus, Sarah Palin is fair game. And by the way, she's not America's number one hockey mom and, hopefully, will never be.

Kim   October 11th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

Why is this news? and who would expect her not to get booed in Philadelphia? they have some of the rudest sports fan ever. This is a stupid story.

Judy   October 11th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

One of the smartest things Philadelphia fans have ever done. It shows they are smart folks.

Patrick   October 11th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

Wailin' Palin   October 11th, 2008 11:11 pm ET

Of all places to go Palin, you decide to try and show your hockey mom skills in Philly? What were you thinking? Is this campaign seriously trying to lose? They can't even pick the right hockey game to go to. And a couple weeks after she was booed out of a pub.....IN PHILLY!!!

Kate Fergus   October 11th, 2008 11:11 pm ET

I like those Flyers' fans. Just because Mrs. Palin is a hockey mom doesn't mean she is qualified to be vice-president. In addition, she has stoked the fires of decent and is now feeling the aftereffects. How do you like being booed Mrs. Palin?? Enjoy the limelight while it lasts because it is fading fast.

John from Las Vegas   October 11th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Sounds like the good people of Philadelphia know the difference between a "real American soccer mom" and a complete phony.

Go back to Alaska honey, you're in WAY over your head.

Rick   October 11th, 2008 11:08 pm ET

Thankfully Americans everywhere are starting to push back on Sarah Palin to let her and the Mccain campaign know that her words and her actions are despicable. In a time when our country needs to come together to work through great challenges McCain and Palin can only spew hate. McCain calling upon Obama to repudiate Lewis is laughable. McCain should ask Americans for forgiveness for running a campaign so and unless he does he risks losing all credibility and dignity. McCain and Palin have proven only one thing and that is they are not worthy to be President and Vice President of this Great Nation!!!

bernard   October 11th, 2008 11:08 pm ET

well done this gop ticket has ernt this nations decent folks total and utter disdane . they have gaused another great deptession and takr 0 responsibility , they wanna make us personaly responsibility yet republicans never take any . this woman thinks she is above the law . she will be fightinh impeechment in alaska , kills pola bears and wolves . suports both wars thats pro death thousands hundreds of thousands are deat in iraq . miss palin has anyone told you thats pro death . the gop is the pro death party . christians for obama 08

Ed McDuffie   October 11th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

As well they should. She has no right to be called a hockey mom. She is a disgrace to the American people.

nextgen08   October 11th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

Wow! That's comforting. At least the fans aren't giving in to the hockey mom mythos that McCain/Palin have created. This shows that people are really looking past the rhetoric to the real issues. No amount of window dressing is going to hide the fact that McCain/Palin represent a continuation into the same direction as the last 8 years.

pat o'brien   October 11th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

GOOD! This woman deserves to be booed for the dangerous rhetoric she has been throwing out to the volitale crowds she speaks to. Maybe they should have shouted "terrorist".

Lorraine   October 11th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

Thanks hockey fans, Palin got what she deserves.

Stephan   October 11th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

carol   October 11th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

That makes me feel good, people are beginning to see Sarah Palin for what she really is a nasty, toxic person......her days of look at me I am so special are over.....we have her number now.
This campaign has been vile and due in part to Sarah Palin and her vicious and inciteful nature of her speeches.....she and McCain have gone too far and people are sick of it.
It suprises me that she has the nerve to go out and show off like she does when she just been found guilty of abuse of power.....this woman has no shame or morals and is so power hungary she is oblivious to how other people view her.

I APPLAUD ALL THOSE WHO BOOED HER!!!

LLM   October 11th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

I would boo too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She should be back in her hotel room looking up true information about President Obama to be. I feel Palin has done enough damage. Soon she will be going back to Alaska to face her own demonds and will have to account for them. Her popularity has DECREASED TO 60%. Palin has a lot of growing up to do before she cn tackle the big guys again! Good By Palin.

Glenn in California   October 11th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

Nice.

It's hilarious how loud the booing was. I couldn't hear one person applauding. However, it's shameful that she put her kids, oops, I mean her political props, through such a negative experience.

Thanks, but no thanks, to Cheney with lipstick.

Alfred   October 11th, 2008 11:05 pm ET

She thinks she could be the hockey mom that everyone likes. Sorry, Palin, there are better hockey mom than you to run this country. You are a shame to Republicans.

ERP   October 11th, 2008 11:05 pm ET

Flyers' fans sure are tough, they know their hockey, they are authentic and they will not be fooled by phoney hockey moms who come into their arena to use them.

No Conscience   October 11th, 2008 11:04 pm ET

Palin has no shame. We all knew that she was and is corrupt! Yeah to Philadelphia for standing up to her farce!

Angela - NC   October 11th, 2008 11:04 pm ET

It's unfair for the Replicans to force Palin in front of people who may not support her. They are doing the same thing w/the Nascar race. People pay to enjoy the game and/or race. Quit shoving Palin front of people who did not come with the intentions of listening to her 'crap'.

Lorraine   October 11th, 2008 11:04 pm ET

I am sorry that Palin put herself in this position, but what do you expect when she has pushed the hate button. Joe 6 pack is waking up and they know the hockey mom that goes over the top is probably the worst of the worst. How can you laugh and wink and still expect the average person respect you when you don't even respect yourself. Hurray for the hockey fans!

Walter, Long Beach   October 11th, 2008 11:04 pm ET

Maybe the power abuser should have her staff track down all those dangerously rude Flyers fans and have them fired.

Billy   October 11th, 2008 11:04 pm ET

Judging from the video, the Flyers were ready for this: the volume on the PA announcer and the cheesy music were maxed out to drown out the boos. Too bad it didn't work.

Rania   October 11th, 2008 11:04 pm ET

How embaressing!!!

NC Voter   October 11th, 2008 11:03 pm ET

It is appaling that she subjected her daughters to this knowing full well that this was coming. As matter of fact she took her children to the arena hoping that the sports fans would tone down their attitudes.

So much for Christians values. Truely pathetic.

Oh please!   October 11th, 2008 11:03 pm ET

Hockey Mom!
Wow this is rich. The fans don't think so they let her know what they think of hockey mom with big yap

PA for Obama   October 11th, 2008 11:03 pm ET

We've booed Santa Claus, the KiteMan, Michael Irvin and now the worst candidate for vice president ever nominated. Flyers' owner Ed Snider is a neocon. He funds FreedomsWatch, the same folks who slander and smear Democrats who've served honorably in the military, so it's no surprise he inflicted Palin on the fans who shell out big bucks to see his hockey team. Not only was she booed, but the crowd erupted into an Obama chant that was drowned out by the music. Poetic justice that the Rangers won.

Matt   October 11th, 2008 11:02 pm ET

Could she have picked a worse place than Philadelphia. They boo their own players on a nightly basis.

End of Days for Palin   October 11th, 2008 11:02 pm ET

Go back to Alaska and face your impeachment, Palin! You and your abuse of power are not wanted in the lower 48.

Mike Finelli Severna Park, Md   October 11th, 2008 11:01 pm ET

The majority of the country internally boo's her every time they see her on television, hear her on the radio, or read about her in a newspaper or on the internet. This is news in the same way saying water is wet would be news.

smoothmedia   October 11th, 2008 11:01 pm ET

Politics and sports don't mix. It was not a wise move by the McCain campaign to put Palin in front of the notoriously harsh and boo-eager Philladelphia crowd.

Andrew   October 11th, 2008 11:00 pm ET

Good.

idiots for McPalin   October 11th, 2008 11:00 pm ET

Palin get out of my state, I am so tired of you. The booing is nothing compared to how we really feel about her.

Dave Florida for OBAMA   October 11th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

Thanks flyers fans I wish i there to BOO HER MYSELF.

laurainPhiladelphia   October 11th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

Please, come on Philadelphia....doubt you would have given the same reception if Biden, or Michelle O. and her daughters had dropped the puck. Grow up and get over yourself! Glad the Flyers lost! Philadelphia teams suck.

Drew   October 11th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

There is a God!
Palin is an insult to great American women.
I hope they Boo her right back to Alaska, where she can face an Ethics board there.
So long Sarah...Thanks but no thanks!

Anne of Medford, NJ   October 11th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

Ron   October 11th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

On her first appearance away from the controlled environment of a McCain-Palin rally, Sarah Palin finally finds out what the rest of America thinks of her.

Gwendolyn H. Barry   October 11th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

Justice!

Jay   October 11th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

Palin using her kids as props...What a shame.

anne   October 11th, 2008 10:58 pm ET

She can't give a regular interview so she's reduced to throwing a hockey puck around. Awesome. What a joke. I'm glad they booed. Just because people like hockey doesn't mean they like a hate filled liar who wants to damage America more than even Bush could.

Trish   October 11th, 2008 10:58 pm ET

I wish you'd mentioned what her reaction was.

Joe E.   October 11th, 2008 10:57 pm ET

This is just another nail in the coffin that is called the Republican ticket. I hope that the ticket gets buried on November 4th. If a phoenix should rise from those ashes, I hope its the pre-Nixon Republiccans who valued country before conservatism. Leave the remanats of the Civil War racists without a party and without a voice. That's the faction that truly needs to fade out of power and out of memory.

Shirley   October 11th, 2008 10:57 pm ET

Other than that, Ms. Palin, how did you enjoy the game?

carol kesling   October 11th, 2008 10:57 pm ET

IF OBAMA LOSES BECAUSE OF RACE, IT WILL BE SHAME ON AMERICA   October 11th, 2008 10:56 pm ET

I don't think the younger folks in America will put up with racism. They are more educated than the southern white folk attitudes. My plea to younger voters is: PLEASE STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT, NOT YOUR PREJUDICES! MAKE AMERICA A MODEL FOR OTHER COUNTRIES WHO ARE ALSO RACIST. DO THE RIGHT THING AND VOTE FOR OBAMA!

Palin is a disgrace   October 11th, 2008 10:56 pm ET

Phiad people are very smart and I wonder how Palin felt when people were booing her presense. God do not like ugly and now she is being punished for her evil deeds. Palin, you need to look in the mirror before you speak neagtive about another person. You think you are abouve the law.

john rico   October 11th, 2008 10:56 pm ET

I guess when it's not a republican rally the people really don't like her. Well, I'm sure the upstanding NYC crowd will not boo her off the stage when she goes on SNL. Oh wait, I'm fairly sure that will happen. Unless SNL let's them pick the audience with nothing but pro-palin people. In which case SNL will go from political satire to just being a joke.

VETS4Obama   October 11th, 2008 10:56 pm ET

kathy   October 11th, 2008 10:56 pm ET

She needs to get serious about being a vice-president candidate. She is continues to refer back to and engage in the things that she can only identify with and make short comedic jokes about Obama and Biden. She needs to understand that USA wants UNITY and our country is in need of repairing. TALK ABOUT THAT!!

Ricardo   October 11th, 2008 10:55 pm ET

Although I do not agree with, nor support Sarah Palin / John McCain – and hope against hope that she does not make it come November fourth, I don't think it was necessary to Boo her. It is no surprise though, as Mrs. Palin's ability is only to appeal to the most base, visceral, and emotional elements in the populace. What a terrible person to have a heartbeat away from the presidency.

It serves her right. The day after the report comes out about her breaking ethics laws in trying to pressure the firing of her ex brother in law and after claiming Obama "pals around with terrorists" she deserves to be booed. I am glad Obama is leading in the pols and the people of America are expressing there disgust for this type of swift boat politics. Even Karl Rove, the mastermind of the Bush campaign, said McCain is lying in his ads. Go back to Alaska Sarah. We don't want to see you at any more hockey games and we don't want to see you in the white house.

God fearing Voter   October 11th, 2008 10:54 pm ET

BOO! Such appropriate behavior with Halloween coming up "DoN't ChA TiNk!?" ;) I don't think McCain cares anymore now than he did before the gloves came off! That's something he should have thought about before being more aggressive! What's good 4 da moose is BETTER 4 da gander! He doesn't hold the monopoly on smears and he needs to look at his own messages before he wants someone else to stop. He started it! You can't have it both ways.

darrell   October 11th, 2008 10:54 pm ET

It was a solid wall of boos and thumbs down. People were even waving Obama/Biden posters. Philly is one tough city when it comes to sports fans. Whoever dreamed up this idea should be fired. Disgraceful to hide behind her 7yo son and subject her to that sort of ridicule. I have 3 kids and they would be a mess after enduring that.

This was the one of the dumbest things her campign could have did. Philly fans don't hide there emotions. They let her know that she is one hockey mon that can go back to Alaska.
But we already know that this was obviously Barack Obama's fault???? How can they spin this? Philly is a blue collar city and have had enough of the republican party. Go Flyers.

scott fairness   October 11th, 2008 10:51 pm ET

Palin had the nerve to say that the media needs to attack Obama and force him to give some answers while campaigning today. Was i dreaming or did she not answer questions directed towards her in the v.p. debate two weeks ago????? As a Republican, she makes me ashamed of my own party!

EVER WATCHED THE GRINS ON HOCKEY PLAYERS DURING THE GAME. MISSING TEETH ARE A TRIBUTE NO LESS. RATHER BE BOOED THERE THAN ANY OTHER PLACE I CAN THINK OF. MUST BE RUNNING LOW ON ANTI PALIN MATERIAL. 'SIDES HOCKEY IN THE SOUTH MEANS SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

Arlene Allen   October 11th, 2008 10:47 pm ET

Oh how I would have liked to have been in the hockey rink in Philly! Palin should not be considered as #1 Hockey Mom-I would have been booing my head off. My son played hockey for 12 years and I lived at the rink and was on the road with him all of those wonderful years. I know GOOD hockey Mom's. Palin should be booed all this great country-she has no ability to be VP for this country let alone President.

Why does Palin make me feel like i'm about to watch a perfectly ochestrated trainwreck?

A Religious Nut   October 11th, 2008 10:45 pm ET

I can't believe what Palin is doing to the religious right. Have you Christians gone nuts in supporting this woman? Were you not fooled by Bush regarding the abortion issue? How do you know we will not be fooled again?

Independent in NC   October 11th, 2008 10:45 pm ET

Well, that's Philly for you. At least it wasn't Free Battery Night at the Wachovia Center.

I don't want either McCain or Obama to win at this point, it seems that no matter what happens, violence is going to ensue.

Xavier   October 11th, 2008 10:45 pm ET

Kinda of funny that the cheers evaporate when she is taken out of a staged republican rally. The lady is a loser.

I feel sorry for her kids. She should stop parading them ...

Chris   October 11th, 2008 10:44 pm ET

It is obvious that this woman isn't qualified to be VP. The Kate Couric interview proved how incompetent she is. Palin has brought out some racial undertones in McCains bid for president.

The yahoos give, the yahoos taketh away. Shallow pop phenomena tend to have very short arcs. Their philosophy is disposable, so their attraction is ephemeral. After a couple of days, they are discarded like a Britney Spears CD after one listening. Sarah is over. Maybe she can start a band with Boy George.

I am not a Sarah Palin supporter at all. Yet I feel sad for her and her family that they would have to endure this treatment. I think that people should be sensitive to the fact that her children were there.

I'm sorry her daughter had to go through that but her mom should know better. Even if it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity she shouldn't be exposed to that kind of environment.

Well Sarah looks like your hate has caught up to sowing seeds of hatred and condoning lynch mob mentalities is not what PA wants in the White House for the next four years

J.C.   October 11th, 2008 10:39 pm ET

Thats hilarious, but Philly fans have booed Santa Claus before. I also need to mention that her puck drop was pretty lame from a self-proclaimed "hockey mom". Liar? Hopefully soon to be loser.

I think a few boos for Palin don't come close to the crap that's been coming out of her mouth.

jaya khanal   October 11th, 2008 10:39 pm ET

Now more people will know the truth. She is a bully and has no quality to be a president. She is a liar and a big bully. We do not need a bully and disrespectful person to lead America.

Mountain man   October 11th, 2008 10:38 pm ET

Can you say "faux celebrity?" Stay out of sports and do your job in politics! What's that? You don't know how? Is that why you are on a sporting adventure? I guess it's time to try for the sports fanatics now that the "get the Hilary votes" is not going your way...How's YOUR savings accounts looking today!?

Roberto Valdés   October 11th, 2008 10:38 pm ET

I for one am thrilled that the Flyers fans rejected such shameless pandering. But why exactly are those poor kids dragged all over the place with her? I don't think if I was as young as Piper that I would enjoy being in the middle of a hockey arena with my mother who is being boo'd by thousands of fans.

Lisa, Atlanta GA   October 11th, 2008 10:36 pm ET

Dang! The hockey mom got booed at the hockey game? WOW!! Things aren't looking so good for McCain/Palin. Her own people don't like her!

Beverly Sims   October 11th, 2008 10:34 pm ET

What kind of people are McCain and Palin exciting at their rallies, McCain is outraged that the Senator states that it reminded him of the George Wallace days, remember he is a product of Civil Rights and remembers that it did not take much to excite hate, at these rallies you are hearing the word Terrorists, Kill him, the {N} word at anyone that is black at the rallies so now African American cameramen can’t go to McCain/Palin rallies anymore for fear of their life, and now you have a preacher that is stating that non religious people want Obama, give me a break, the people that are stating that they don't know Obama and he is not American are more than the republican strategist suggest, it is more than 2 or 3 nut jobs, the news station asked everyone that was going into the rally what they thought of Obama and they said words like terrorist, Arab, and not like us which were all negative word.

All analysts are stating that both campaigns should stop the negative, but if Obama stops the republicans would be very successful at swift boating him as they have other candidates because they have always been very good at keeping your mind off of them and on other's, if you go back to when Bush first ran it was very obvious to most that he was not qualified, just listening to the debates, but everyone wanted republicans in and now after 8 years look where we are at, and now they want to get back in FOR WHAT, the McCain/Palin campaign now exactly what they are doing and if Palin can make Bush seem very intelligent that is Very Scary, and this is not the 1960’s it is 2008, WOW.

I can not believe that a VP candidate avoids interviews and press conferance especially when she was accused of abuse power.

She is unqualified and once again it is proved to the Amerian people.

kn   October 11th, 2008 10:33 pm ET

What does she expect? too bad her kids were with her. Looks like not all hockey moms Relate to her.. I am sure by the time this gets spun by the Repubs. it will somehow be Barack's fault

Brian Wilson   October 11th, 2008 10:33 pm ET

Perhaps the booing disheartened them. Apparently being a small town hockey player is not politically correct.

Salstar57   October 11th, 2008 10:33 pm ET

Way to go "Hockey Mom". Hope your kids enjoyed the show. You are mean, you shouldn't have subjected them to the real world. Go back to Alaska, Oh that's right you will be in three weeks. Maybe they will boo you there when you get back!

Ryan Harrell   October 11th, 2008 10:32 pm ET

Common guys, I am an avid Obama fan, but show the woman some respect. Just because I don't think she's qualified to be a vice president, and I don't like her politically, doesn't mean we can be disrespectful of her personally. Not cool.

Jim, Colorado   October 11th, 2008 10:32 pm ET

Could it be people are aware of what the McCain camp has done to inflame the hate for Obama? We face so many problems.Now is time to stop the division that the Bush administation has created over the last eight years. Obama gets another contribution.

Sarah, this is wahat happens when you plane seeds of hate. People don't want to hear this crap. I just found out that hundreds of Ohioians lost there job. They have nothing. Som while your out with your family like a celebrity, it continue to show that you are all about yourself and not about the millions of people that are suffering.

You are so out of touch.

Larry - Hazleton, pa   October 11th, 2008 10:30 pm ET

Booing Gov Palin is not enough – lets just show the McCain-Palin the front door on Nov 4 and send them both home. I once really respected Mr McCain but he has lost his honor and just needs to get out. As for Palin I suggest reading about the Alasaka Indenpendence Party and you will figure this person out and what she would have represented had we elected this person.

The last tag I would give Governor Palin would be that of a maverick. She is a dated, bigoted representative of the past. As a father of three including two girls, I think she is a setback to women's causes and a disgrace to her sex. The sooner this race ends the better. May she have a good life near Russia (i.e., in Alaska).

Gee, Sarah, I guess it does matter if you've abused the power of your office as Governor and told lie after lie after lie. It's a whole different thing when you're not surrounded by the fawning, right wing Pentacostal Christians of the Republican party.

Tracy   October 11th, 2008 10:26 pm ET

Royalty   October 11th, 2008 10:25 pm ET

She thought that by putting her daughter in a Flyer's shirt, she wouldn't get booed. She said that on Fox News.

Boy was she wrong.

And she subjected her daughter to that, which is abuse. This lady will use anyone and do anything for power. Even put her own children at risk. Moms everywhere should be outraged.

She is not the # Hockey mom in America. All those Moms out there who are challenged by money concerns and trying to raise and family and have their children engaged in sports such as hockey are the real #1 hockey moms.

Oh, no, Democrats, please don't stoop to disrespect!!!!!! There is too much from the other side already! (It does seem ironic that the hockey mom got booed at a hockey game.) Please be totally respectful to John and Sarah. They are fellow Americans, even if they stand for issues with which you disagree. Please, fellow Democrats, stay on the high road.

WAY TO GO PHILADELPHIA. Send Six-Pack Sarah packing back to the frozen tundra of Alaska. Maybe after she learns to speak and gets a better command of the English language she can come back to the lower 48 and take in a game.

Kaye- Jacksonville FL   October 11th, 2008 10:22 pm ET

Well – America isn't stupid. Palin is a deplorable choice for VP – guess the Philly fans aren't afraid to be express the truth, huh?

I'm delighted – and I would have been booing her the loudest had I been there....

Sarah   October 11th, 2008 10:22 pm ET

OOP'S wrong hockey moms.

K2 in CO   October 11th, 2008 10:22 pm ET

If this had occurred to Obama, the headline would be something like "racist hockey fans boo Obama".

Denise OKC   October 11th, 2008 10:22 pm ET

This is TOO FUNNY....LMAO for real!

Tyler in Raleigh   October 11th, 2008 10:22 pm ET

Well, I guess all that anger and hate they have been spewing comes back to bite them.

Maybe now they will learn that if you play in the mud, its going to stick on you.

Indiana Joe   October 11th, 2008 10:22 pm ET

Sarah Palin is another tool, a stunt from McCain, a political calculation to supposedly bring votes from Hillary supporters (actually their beliefs are the opposite), feminists (even though she's far from the feminist ideology), and those independents who can be easily fooled or some Jerry Springer fans who don't pay attention to details and just see cute faces and are only capable of understanding keywords ("joe six-pack", "maverick", "hockey mom", "he doesn't share our values", "pallin' around", "job creation", "drill baby drill" etc). We have seen during the last weeks that she's not, and probably never be, ready to be President or VP. She can't even answer questions that my 14 year old niece can, she barely survived the debate by repeating lines that someone wrote for her, giving non-answers and dodging the questions. Moreover she is already involved in corruption, unethical behavior and abuse of power. We need someone above the average... she's intellectually just alright. We cannot afford a "just alright person" for the hard times ahead. McCain put his political calculations first, not our country! Shame on you Sen. McCain, you should have known better!

HYPOCRISY   October 11th, 2008 10:22 pm ET

The only people that think palin is still "cute" is the media! Even real "HOCKEY MOMS" know she is full of it.

Erica from GA   October 11th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

haahahahhahahahahahahahaaaa!

J - East Windsor, CT   October 11th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

Booing is fair game at a sports venue and Palin's lack of capacity and ultra-conservative stances give much to boo about. Boo Santa Claus but not boo Sarah Palin? Give me a break. The latter actually deserves the boos for her calls of hate and smear campaign against Obama.

Jack Arnold   October 11th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

Right On!!!
She is on her way home!!

Jay   October 11th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

Half the crown booed and half cheered.....HAHAHAHHAAHAHA

Ya right,,,

Good job Philly!!

Crazy Cat Lady   October 11th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

No! Does this mean that even Joe Sixpack has turned on her? Oh, the humanity!

Javier Oberti - Fort Lauderdale   October 11th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

Not to fear. Simply put there are a lot of us who do support her and John McCain. As this story shows, we are just not as loud as the liberals. What we are is the silent majority who will simply not allow an extreme and inexperienced socialist squirrel to become our president. We are the middle of the country...we are the Christian faith...we are the suburbs of America...we are the proud immigrants who escaped socialism to come here because we wanted a capitalistic society. We will never let this country go down the wrong path. Now more than ever. We'll see who has the last laugh after election day. But then again, we will most likely show a lot more grace, and will certainly be much quieter. We, unlike the extremists who write comments here every day, are the silent majority of America.

observer   October 11th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

I saw the video on youtube. It made me proud to be an american.

Sue in MI   October 11th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

When is the last time Palin was actually a "hockey mom?" Her son is 19 and I don't believe that while she was mayor she was carpooling hockey players or baking cookies for after the games.
Her whole act is wearing very thin very quickly. I applaud Philadelphia!

Hilary B   October 11th, 2008 10:20 pm ET

I feel sorry for her kids.

Vic   October 11th, 2008 10:20 pm ET

Ha, Ha!

Dexter   October 11th, 2008 10:20 pm ET

Why is her pregnant daughter gettting thinner?

Hmmm... Interesting.

Marina   October 11th, 2008 10:20 pm ET

I think it was wrong for her to do this. There was no need to inject politics into hockey or any other sport. It's not like the election was over and an elected official was this, they had someone from the republican ticket in a hard fought race for the white house. This was just simply wrong. And Fox News is reporting that she suspected she would be booed and so brought along her seven year old daughter as leverage against it. As a mom, I am outraged. Parents are not supposed to use their offspring as props or as objects. Parents are supposed to protect their children, not hide behind them in the hopes of receiving special treatment! This is disgusting!

John C   October 11th, 2008 10:20 pm ET

True patriots don't approve of Palin's hateful and divisive manner. She is an insult to to our intelligence and good will toward others. Besides -she's a lier. We know she projects her faults onto others and she is a poor example of women in positions of power. Or maybe they don't like people who shoot innocent animals from planes and helecopters-shamelessly-with joy.

B Conway   October 11th, 2008 10:20 pm ET

It is unconscionable that while our country is in the midst of a crisis, the Palin feels it necessary to drive further and further division into our troubled nation. It is sad that so many people cannot see through these hateful rabble rousing speeches. Make no mistake; she knows exactly what she is doing, placing the McCain campaign before country. Senator McCain used to have a sense of honor and patriotism but that appears to be as historical as his war record.
Should anything unfortunate happen to Senator Obama's well being after he is elected, it would not be surprising to find it was inspired by the fearful distortions the Palin so eloquently bestowed upon her small minded base. Should such a God awful thing happen to a great man and an already troubled country, the blood would be on the Palin's hands.
Sincerely,
A former republican

Lee from FL   October 11th, 2008 10:19 pm ET

like you didn't know this was going to happen.
ONCE AGAIN,only the die hard GOP conservative.right wing christian fundamentalist,racist and hate mongers seem to like Sarah Palin.

Normal everyday American dont like her too much.

Evelyn in Texas   October 11th, 2008 10:19 pm ET

Gov. Palin was out of her league there as well.

maddie   October 11th, 2008 10:19 pm ET

Bottom line....the Rangers won...Sara was booed. I would say it was a great night overall!

Jim thompson   October 11th, 2008 10:18 pm ET

This article is simply not true. I was at the game and there wwere way more cheers than boos. This article just shows the media bias towards McCain and Palin, good god this country is going to get what it deserves. Wake up peopel and stop believing what you see and hear on CNN.

Charlotte   October 11th, 2008 10:18 pm ET

This is news? It's gratifying, but it cerainly comes as no surprise. Palin is about as popular as the flu. Even many McCain supporters find her shallow, vapid, offensive and irrelevant. And this was a crowd that would presumably be 'friendly' to her! A Harbinger of the election results, on can only hope.

McCainLostMyVote   October 11th, 2008 10:18 pm ET

Oh so wonderful to hear this!! Palin you are now facing the truth of your hatredness.

Harris   October 11th, 2008 10:18 pm ET

there is not place for such a politic in America. Palin is simply disgusting. I can believe what she's doing, Even if it was true that Barack had something to do with Ayers, but to raise such a hatred on someone is.... UNBELIVABLE.

facts are facts   October 11th, 2008 10:18 pm ET

Unfortunately Palin has become a symbol of extremism and division throughout the world and it sounds like Americans have also caught on to her phoney act.

She does okay preaching to the choir and among the Klan members in the Republican Party but sensible and moderate Republicans are abandoning the Palin/McCain ticket in a steady stream. These GOP members realize the party has to change it's platform and quit catering to the fringe.

Mia   October 11th, 2008 10:17 pm ET

It bothers me a little , but not a lot that she was booed. I was raised to be polite and I hate anything that feels like decree by mob , but that said I Ithink the noise she heard may help her understand that it is not just the media and " liberal elites " who think she is not good for the country or John McCain's campaign.Hate mongering is rejected by most..given our painful history its especially heinous when it increases the possibility that we might lose another leader to violence,,,she needs to know inciting fear and hatred of a candidate is completely unacceptable.

RK   October 11th, 2008 10:17 pm ET

I am a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and very tired of the degrading comments of this Governor. If this is her approach not sure what her approach would be to other world leaders she disagrees with hockey mom or not. We need someone to represent our country who speak to the issues intelligently. Her attacks in this campaign and use of fear tactics approved by Senator McCain may result in some serious and ugly reaction by some zealots like in Iowa tonight.

I certainly would like to see these angry frustrated men in Senator McCain's campaign regain some integrity that has been the hallmark until this campaign of Senator McCain. Take the high road Senator.

mia   October 11th, 2008 10:17 pm ET

Good----my only wish is that she ended up with a puck down her throat. For all the trash she is talking you would think she was a garbage disposal. How can anyone living in the good ole America get a crowd that angry. It shows that the only people going to these rallies are down right ignorant!!! How can you feed the fire with more fire. It shows absolute no regard or concern for America. If this continues we can be sure that we will have our own "Iraq" right here and McCain/Palin will have no one to blame but themselves.

Dan, TX   October 11th, 2008 10:16 pm ET

Vote for Obama. The average Texan would receive a much LARGER tax cut under Obama's plan than McCain's. That money will go directly to paying off debt and buying products from American businesses. When consumers spend money, businesses make money, and they hire people. It is called trickle up economics. It works. Trickle down – as we have seen, ensures the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

former gop   October 11th, 2008 10:16 pm ET

And from my living room – BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Donna   October 11th, 2008 10:16 pm ET

In an attempt to stop the booing, Palin took her daughters on the ice with her. In other words, she deliberately subjected her children to booing and jeers for political expediency. This is shameful. Obama has never used his children in this manner–Palin either tries to capitalize on her Downs' syndrome infant or use her other children for political gain.

whynotus in philly burbs   October 11th, 2008 10:15 pm ET

just goes to show you...without the unscripted message and the crowd packed with hand picked supporters, she falls. That is how ameica views her...flyers fans are hardowrking, joe six pack types, union workers, blue collar types...so much for her connecting to that group. BTW, not a lot of philadelphians go to Flyers game...Phill burbs and S. jersey...almost all white...mark my words...this will end badly for McSame and his little friend.

Indiana Joe   October 11th, 2008 10:15 pm ET

While I completely and unequivocally disagree with almost everything that comes out of Sarah Palin's mouth, I think the folks that booed her while she had her daughters in tow should be ashamed of themselves.

BOO   October 11th, 2008 10:14 pm ET

this means something. It sounds like people that aren't put in an arena just to cheer Palin don't. I hope Mc Cain can hear the boos to. He has a big problem it is a cancer that if he doesn't get rid of it will kill his campaign.

Jan in CA   October 11th, 2008 10:14 pm ET

Please Sarah take the hint. Your devisive ways are not appreciated. America wants an honorable discussion of the facts and policies of two men who serve America and who are good Americans. You have shown us a very different way and it isn't attractive or honorable or good for the country. Please, please get that you are hurting America.

SOUTHERN HOTTIE   October 11th, 2008 10:14 pm ET

I think deep down in her heart Ms. Palin knows that she is culpable and an accessory to Senator McCain's path towards dishonor.

rs   October 11th, 2008 10:14 pm ET

That's what Ed Snider gets for injecting politics into sports. Shameful. And it also would have been shameful to have Joe Biden or Barack Obama drop the puck , although here in blue, blue Philly, they wouldn't have received the same reaction.

She needs to go back to Alaska and find a moose to butcher. In the meantime, John needs to start looking for somebody else to run with.

Poor Sarah! Let's hope she got the message. And if she did not . . . oh well!

Sarah   October 11th, 2008 10:11 pm ET

I guess people in Philly actually understand what the consequences are of incited violence lynch mobs with race-baiting smears, and maybe – just maybe – they don't think that's really very American at all. Maybe you should go back your secessionist party after all Sarah Palin, because in America, we don't incite violence against political opponents, we vote: it's called democracy, and it's American.

Wil   October 11th, 2008 10:11 pm ET

Well on second thoughts, and remembering the venom she's spewing all around the country, Sarah Palin "What gors around comes around" just wish her kids were't there

Time to go back to Alaska. And how dare she take her children out there and expose them to a room full of angry people. Kids don't belong in the middle of this sort of nastiness.

rusty   October 11th, 2008 10:09 pm ET

Poor Sarah. It's all Barack's fault. I sure wish I was there. I'm sure it was a "priceless" 90 seconds. Way to go Flyer's fans! She definately deserved it.

Joseph   October 11th, 2008 10:09 pm ET

Governor Palin,Why did you fire this poor man? doesn't he has a right to work and feed his family? May be he voted for you thinking that you will do good for Alaska and Country. So what is my guarantee to vote for you? are you really trust worthy? Nop.

Verdict : Good Luck on your Impeachment.

Thanks Philly because Palin is not wanted. She started a very big disruption in our country and we do not need to put each other down black or white because we are all in this thing together. It is time for blacks and whites to come together becuase it is going to take all of us to make this country strong again.So this is why we need to vote. Because we don't need confusion in our white house. Our Black and White ancestors build this country for us to live in peace but we should never expect americans to retaliate on americans.The United States Of America stands for peace and very human being is equal and not divided.We need to stop putting each other down WORK TOGETHER. Sarah Palin started this whole corruption about terrorist and now the repulicans want to blame it on Dems and that is wrong. Why should we put some one like her in office that is dishonest and tells lies.

FactCheck   October 11th, 2008 10:06 pm ET

Most of us were booing not because of Palin but because Ed Snyder (dolt owner of the Flyers) decided to use a nonpartisan sporting event to advance his agenda of trying to get McCain elected. As a NYer, I was happy with the booing and with the final score.

Coz   October 11th, 2008 10:06 pm ET

The boos were deafening, yet it didn't affect Palin in the least as she walked out there all smiles. She's a shameless, hate-filled, ice-cold nutty, who doesn't give a crap what anyone thinks...she just wants power, and she will stoop to the lowest of lows to get there.

Lisa   October 11th, 2008 10:04 pm ET

Hee. It's about time she gets an idea of how much she is truly despised and disrespected in the real world, and for good reason. She deserves absolutely NO respect given her utter lack of respect for our side in recent weeks. However, given that the McHoover camp will probably try to equate this to their crowds' despicable antics of late, I just wish the Philly crowd would have met her with deafening silence, instead. Probably would have been more powerful. But oh well.

Sarah Palin needs to step down. That's the only way McCain can win.

Walter   October 11th, 2008 10:03 pm ET

I'm glad most people see Palin for what she is, a dangerous vindictive power-hungry religious fanatic.

The republicans managed to slip Bush into the Whitehouse by appealing to the religious right, the racists and the rich, even though their goals are not compatible. Joe Redneck hardly benefits from trickle down economics. We all know what runs downhill and it isn't money.

If McCain thought he steal this race by using Palin to grab the religious vote he is sorely mistaken. Last time the democrats underestimated the fervor with which the religious lunatics will mobilize and act. As a result the country has suffered for the past four years. It won't happen this time around. We're going to send Palin packing, back to Alaska where she belongs.

Anyone who claims to know God's will is a dangerous lunatic and the last kind of person you need in government. Palin said the war with Iraq is God's will. Sounds strikingly familiar, isn't that what the terrorist say?

They might have booed Santa Claus, but I applaud the city of Philadelphia for giving her what she deserves. She has caused a lot of trouble and stir up a lot of radical smears. I hope she gets impeached as the Governor of Alaska. She is corrupt.

Haha   October 11th, 2008 10:03 pm ET

Lol that is toooo funny!!!!!
The writing is on the wall!

Bill, N.M.   October 11th, 2008 10:03 pm ET

Hahahaha what a joke.

Ginny   October 11th, 2008 10:03 pm ET

Maybe now she'll go home. She shouldn't be draggin' her kids around every place she goes. Especially since she's spewing hate all over the place.

So sick of her :(

S. McCullough from Florida   October 11th, 2008 10:03 pm ET

This is funny!!! As much as CNN displays her as the Republican savior, the truth is now out. On those who would almost never vote for a democrat, but these days everyone is switching sides, actually likes her.

She is a disgrace. I am so sick and tired of hearing her name. This is not a joke people. Our country is on the line. WAKE UP!!! We can not afford to have Palin playing games, winking, allowing her husband who was not elected to run things, or hiding from the public until she thinks it is convenient.

Nice try Republicans. Next time present a woman that has the talent and skills to fill the office and mayne you can draw us simply because it's a she.

dd   October 11th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

how do you feel now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! loser

Will, in Richmond, VA   October 11th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

oh my... that is just cruel! And funny! wow... once everyone got to know her, they certainly don't love her.

Besides, Philly boos Santa Claus. Don't feel too bad Sarah.

Jay   October 11th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

I wish I was there to boo along....
I am not a fan of this hockey mom.... I think she would be the mom of the dirty player doing whatever it takes to win.... Good Job Philly!!....

The Republicans will cheat to win.... I hope they don't get away with it.......This time.... Although they are sure trying to surpress as many votes as possible.....

Jason   October 11th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

Doesn't feel too good, does it, Governor?

Now imagine if they were calling for your head.

Perhaps you should learn something from this.

renando   October 11th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

Sweet. Hard for a Penguins fan to like the Flyers fans for any reason but today I have to say – Go Flyers!

This is the first time in my life I've been proud of Philly fans. I mostly despise them as a Sabres fan.

I love Philly. People there know BS when they see it, and Palin is full of it.

denni   October 11th, 2008 9:59 pm ET

If thats the case and there were far more boos than cheers – then I can rest a little easier knowing that there are more Americans in Philidelphia who oppose McCain/Palin than support them. Thank God.

Unethical idiot... Who is the REAL SARAH PALIN??

Hillary Supporter   October 11th, 2008 9:59 pm ET

Palin IS AN ABUSER OF POWER AND HAS LOUSY JUDGEMENT. She is IGNITING HATE AND VIOLENCE in her rallies. SHAME,SHAME,SHAME on Palin. She is the female REINCARNATION OF HITLER.

bill   October 11th, 2008 9:59 pm ET

The honeymoon is over.

cordell   October 11th, 2008 9:59 pm ET

I love it!!!! She is getting what she deserves. Too bad she had to bring the kids into it though or it would have been a lot worse.

Binky   October 11th, 2008 9:59 pm ET

I hope Obama wins.

McCain supporters are so stupid to believe all that rubbish and the supporter that asked if Barack was an Arab is a perfect example of believe anything republican party loyalists.

They say how Obama might get shot if he's elected, i know i will try to kill McCain if he is elected.

How can anybody hope to be the president when all they can do is tell LIES and provoke VIOLANCE.

McCain/Palin ticket are all extremists themselves.

Obama/Biden '08

Francheska Georgia   October 11th, 2008 9:58 pm ET

I take it the City of Brotherly Love was not feeling the love for Palin. ;-)

M. Bellew-Smith   October 11th, 2008 9:58 pm ET

Clearly Philadelphia Flyers fans have really good common sense, good judgment, and excellent taste in booing the likes of Palin. Apparently, they know she has baby wolves and Polar bears slaughtered with tax payer money.

V JOHNSON   October 11th, 2008 9:58 pm ET

People are starting to see what the Hockey mom is really like.
How can you be guilty of abuse of power and not break the ethics laws?????

Lisa   October 11th, 2008 9:58 pm ET

Ha, ha what did she expect? When she speaks at rallies and someone yells, "kill him!" and she doesn't stop her speech and say something, anything, tells all hockey fans shes doesn't deserve the title "hockey Mom" let alone vice president.

SoCal   October 11th, 2008 9:58 pm ET

Are her girls exempted from school?
What an "hockey mom" she is!

Wake-up America   October 11th, 2008 9:58 pm ET

Welcome Palin to the real world where people can think for themselves. I know Philadelphians know the truth.

Bigotry, false accusations and out right lies aren’t going to get you anywhere!!

GO PHILY!!!!!

John, Florida   October 11th, 2008 9:58 pm ET

Good, she got her just deserved...

Carramea   October 11th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

Sarah Palin please drop out of this race. Your hate monging has to stop before someone gets hurt. Go take care of your baby boy who needs you . Maybe Mccain can salvage his campaign and bring Mike Huckabee on , a good man who knows what being a Christian means

Mark Las Vegas   October 11th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

It's too bad that the NHL wouldn't lend the whole booing incident tape to the Obama campaign for a little negative ad campaign of their own!

jay in CA   October 11th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

What do you expect...its philadelphia. the fans have always been like that

whoever planned this "photo-op" should be fired. even santa claus cant get a cheer.

i was at a phillies game on spongebob appreciation day and they booed the costumed character nd laughed as the truck carrying the person in the suit hit a bump in the tunnel and fell flat on their face.

I got to admit...i laughed at that too

Craig in Kansas   October 11th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

That is a huge message. People are tired of the negative attacks and the lies that she has been spreading.

Nervous in Texas   October 11th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

Way to go Flyer fans. Thanks for speaking for us. It was probably the first time that she's been in front of a group that were not there for a Klan rally. Truely, thank you for showing her how the rest of the country feels. I honestly don't think she knows since the only place she has been is at all her rallies and she probably does not read any of the papers.

Greg Turner   October 11th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

I love my City..Don't feel bad Sarah, we booed Beyonce, the Cowboys, and even Santa..Come correct or don't come at all..Sen Obama got a warm welcome here today though, lol

Independent   October 11th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

You can't boo her, she is a hockey mom and a proud pitbull w/ lipstick!!!

Obama 08   October 11th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

I hope this woman understands that she's not wanted and no one likes her. Shame on her for trying to use her kids as a shield at this event.

Lisa   October 11th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

I am NO fan of Palin, but Booing is mean especially when her girls were with her. Silence would have been just as powerful.

Andrea   October 11th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

Whoa!!! I wonder how many of those are really Republicans!! Wow!!!

Lola   October 11th, 2008 9:56 pm ET

Haha, oh those hockey fans, Goooooooooooooooood love 'em! lol

Karen   October 11th, 2008 9:56 pm ET

This behavior towards Sarah Palin and her family is just as wrong as the remarks toward Obama. All of this is just so wrong. America needs to wake up and stop this maddness before something tragic happens.

Evette   October 11th, 2008 9:56 pm ET

HAHAHA this made me proud....for the day

Lori   October 11th, 2008 9:56 pm ET

I would have to agree with the crowd.

Georgia Gal   October 11th, 2008 9:56 pm ET

Haha! I had a feeling this was going to happen.

Robert   October 11th, 2008 9:56 pm ET

So, the hockey mom vote wasn't exactly locked in by picking Palin, was it?

Who thinks this could be because she has been the chief attack dog in the xenophobic whipping up of hate that the McCain campaign has turned to of late?

Puck Palin.

Carramea   October 11th, 2008 9:55 pm ET

I dont condone them Calling Sarah Palin names. Why play the same nasty game she does. I dont blame them for booing though I would boo her too. She abused her power in Alaska as governor and for a Christian all I have seen her do is bring hatred to this political race. She deserves boos. And her pregnant daughter she be at home getting ready for the most important job of her young life. being a mother .

Palin and McCain bring out the worst in everyone. Barack Obama offers a positive message of hope and bringing Americans together to solve our problems.

I'll bet that's the last surprise appearance she'll make to a hockey game.

RapidRay   October 11th, 2008 9:54 pm ET

WOW. I just saw this magic moment on You Tube.

Last time I heard booing that nasty was at Fenway Park for Bucky Dent, but it wasn't as loud as what Palin got.

BTW: When did they have an election to nominate America's #1 Hockey Mom? Was Wayne Gretzky's mom even on the ballot?

Joe in MN   October 11th, 2008 9:53 pm ET

(Former) Lifelong Republican for Obama, Columbia, TN   October 11th, 2008 9:53 pm ET

I just saw this clip on YouTube and it is hillarious! The only reason why Palin has been getting warm receptions at events is because she is only going to ultra-Republican areas. She does not have the courage to step into an area with a real diverse population. I applaud all of the booers at this NHL event. Palin is a joke and it is not even a funny joke.

Not a fan of the 'Cuda   October 11th, 2008 9:53 pm ET

For once, I'm proud of the boorishness of Philly fans. They have a finely attuned sense of BS in the land of cheesesteaks, and they know a fresh moose patty when they see it.

NoMccain   October 11th, 2008 9:53 pm ET

This is a publicity stunt and she doesn't care about the economic conditions that we are going through right now. She is not ready to lead. Have your five minutes of fame now Sarah, your career is over.

Daniel   October 11th, 2008 9:52 pm ET

At the RNC, McCain shot Palin out of a cannon. She went up and up and everyone watched. Now, she's on the way down. Look out. It's going to be a mess...

So called "Evangelical" Christians (on the far right) are no different than extreme Muslims like the Taliban or Al Qaeda. They try to use THEIR IDEA of religion as a means so suppress free thought of others and label them as evil and "infidels".

qneee   October 11th, 2008 9:51 pm ET

While I dont condone the booing of Palin especially with her kids there, it should send a message that people are tired of her and her mean spirited, vindictive ways. I hope she gets the message but i doubt it will have any effect on her ugly ways

Hot Mess in US   October 11th, 2008 9:51 pm ET

Ahhhhh Sarah... Sorry, as a native Philadelphian I would have told ya, we can see thru bullcrap.. your you betcha politics won't work in Philly. We are to advanced and diverse as a city.. remember we are a city of quakers we believe in treating all people with respect and dignity.. NO Redneck, limited educated, closed minded folks for miles....

It's Cindy, Sarah and John aka " the angry menage a trois"

Dennis   October 11th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

The McCain/Palin campaign staff's first idea was to have her poke a bear with a stick, you know, just to see what happens.

I guess they thought trotting her out in front of Philly fans was less cruel?

Kathy   October 11th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

After being found guilty of abusing her power I am not one bit surprised

Bushwhacked in Eugene, OR   October 11th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

Even the hockey fans can see through the hockey mom. Gives me hope.

SickandTired   October 11th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

While I do not agree with the crowd booing her I can understand their frustration. As McCain said today The crowd in Philadelphia is angry too. Rightfully so in light of this hateful and divisive rhetoric lately. Palin should be ashamed for trying to pull our country apart after all the painful growing pains we as americans have had to go through to get to this point of finally learning to respect each other regardless of race.

David   October 11th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

Bet they wouldn't have booed as much had she dropped herself as the puck.

Lavanya   October 11th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

'America's #1 hockey mom' gets booed at an NHL game, how ironic.

Geraldine   October 11th, 2008 9:49 pm ET

RyanM   October 11th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

Poor calculation by the McCain campaign. Don't put your candidate in a potentially embarrasing situation. Although Palin seems to do just fine in doing that without any help.

Someone who was found to have abused the power of her office by 12-0 bipartison vote(most of 12 being Republicans) does deserved to be booed I guess. Further the Alaska Supreme Court found the investigation was not pollitcally tainted and allowed it to continue.

They should have known the nature of the crowd and canceled the appearance or not have allowed it to happen at all. Given the events of the past week it is evident that John McCain is not truly in charge of his campaign.

Rolling the daughters out there was yet another poor calculation. That should have never been allowed.

Ken J   October 11th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

So...the Philly Flyers iced Sarah. Booing seems appropriate for a Hockey Mom who will be spending time in the penality for the "first" finding of abusing power in Troopergate.

Cynthia; Bham   October 11th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

Hate she could booed in front of her children but she has said some very negative things about Senator Obama that his children might have heard.

s.positive   October 11th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

This is only the beginning of the rejection of this figure of hate...

Mark   October 11th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

The country has seen what McCain and Palin represents and they don't like it. The most racial candidates every. Republican Conservatives at there worst. Spewing hate and racial words towards OBAMA. We want a real leader Obama. McCain own state of Arizona has turned against him for what he now stands for. Defeat radical McCain and Palin. Vote now for Obama/Biden. They don't waste time on radical talk.

eric, san diego   October 11th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

That should teach Palin to infuse her dirty politics in major league sports! Swine!

Catherine   October 11th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

Jan in the 'live free or die' state   October 11th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

What a joke Sarah is. She thinks she can waltz into any hockey game and be welcomed by the crowd? Not! What an idiot.

America Speaks...   October 11th, 2008 9:46 pm ET

This shows the true feelings of Americans toward Palin and McCain and to top it off... It's Hockey there probably wasn't one African American in the crowd...LOL!! Obama has broad, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-fath support. Clean campaigns are the way to go McCain!!!

SCARED FOR THE OBAMAS   October 11th, 2008 9:46 pm ET

Sorry to hear that, but we (Palin, RNC, McCane, etc,) must learn that our mouths can sometimes be our worst enemy.

That sorry speech at the RNC convention opened up this Pandora's box.

All Americans are not filled with hate. Sarah and friends, your game has been peeped. WINK WINK

KIM WILLIAMS, VENICE CA   October 11th, 2008 9:46 pm ET

Eewww. I just hate that for her! Those mean people!

Cathy   October 11th, 2008 9:46 pm ET

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA- Ya suppose that helped her already over inflated ego any?
But seriously, It's a shame her daughters had to be witness to that, but I get the feeling she uses her children as political pawns. I'm sorry to say I just can't stand this woman and honestly wish she and her thug Todd would please go back to Alaska!

Felly   October 11th, 2008 9:46 pm ET

DARLENE   October 11th, 2008 9:46 pm ET

wtg NHL, people are seeing that palin is nothing but lies and full of hate but that is the way of a person who will lie to her own state of alaska. So she need to clean out her closet befor she works on someone elses. Im 65 and a white lady, im going for the good of my country and OBAMA is the one

God Bless Philadelphia!

What is the real shame is she subjected her children to that. They don't need to be booed because she is a hate monger.

S. Holt   October 11th, 2008 9:45 pm ET

Bucky   October 11th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

Sarah Palin is the furthest thing from a true hockey mom. She had one son many years ago in hockey and never took part in what a real hockey mom does. Real hockey Moms are "community organizers" that do not insult the other teams. They chher for their team and put family first. They champion free choice.Hockey Moms around the world despise hate. Hockey Moms are with their kids 24-7 and do not spew hatred towards others.True Hockey Moms are the salt of the earth.

Trasa, Texas   October 11th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

It was stupid of her to show up, when not everybody is in support of her and her grandfather. You only show up, when it's people in support and maybe I miss something, but Obama is pretty steady up in the polls there. They should give up on Penn and go to the toss up states because it ain't going to happen here. Go Philly, you did the right thing by booing that fake power abuser. "Guilty is Guilty" and the fact she has Todd doing some of her dirty work. No wonder he was named "the Shadow Governor", it does the dirty work undercover, but not very good at it cause he was caught.

Deloies   October 11th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

mark   October 11th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

Send her back to the Wasilla ice sheet where she belongs! Of course, she can always stop at the Wrangell mountains for the mud pots and mud volcanoes.

Patricia   October 11th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

Sometimes you get the bear. Sometimes the bear gets you. Could Mrs. Palin be getting a backlash to the venom she has spewed for the last week? Go back to Alaska, Sister. People see through your talking points and the hate you have stirred. Abuse of power is the tool of those who can't accomplish goals by their own expertise. There is position power, personal power, and the true power of leadership. Without position power, she is a nothing.

McHoover Would Destroy What's Left of America   October 11th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

The good people of Philadelphia don't like hate mongers

Any decent parent who wasn't an opportunist would have left the kids at home

She drags them around like props

GARY   October 11th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

WHO GIVES A CRAP ABOUT PHILLIE NHL. THAT SHOWS THEIR MENTALITY. SOUNDS LIKE THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS FULL OF HATE.

tiff of Lithia Springs   October 11th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

GOOD! I HOPE THE REPUBLICANS RECONSIDER GIVING THIS WOMAN A LEADERSHIP POSITION IN THEIR PARTY. I don't think she is an accurate representation and I'm a democrat!!!

Let's put the last nail in the coffin of bigotry. Put someone in office base on character content and not color or sex.

Obama please overhaul the education system. Too many idiots out there.

KJS/Alabama   October 11th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

I almost feel sorry for her and mcshame...I did say ALMOST!:)

Melissa   October 11th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

I'm glad to see that Flyers fans gave Palin the proper Philadelphia welcome.

Mark   October 11th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

I guess this is a good lesson for Sarah.. Noone except the far right bible folks want her. She just does not get the message. Please Sarah. for your own good, go back to Alaska and face the impeachment charges with your favorite dude.

Felines for Freedom   October 11th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

If Flyers have a bad season, it's a Palin curse. Why oh why would you open the season with a highly controversial, unpopular figure dropping the puck? When boos reign in a stadium before the first game even starts, ugh, that is a bad omen. I am generally not superstitious, but I am not happy about her presence. Score is now 4 – 3 at least. Go Flyers!

Cathy, Peoria AZ   October 11th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

The owner of the Philadelphia Flyers should have anticipated the reaction she would receive. The increasingly "hostile" tone of McCain-Palin rally's should have been his first clue. I am thankful nothing was thrown on the ice especially with her two daughters with her.

ready for change   October 11th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

RACIST, STAY AWAY FROM OUR SPORTING EVENTS, YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE TO OUR COUNTRY, WE ARE SICK OF YOU AND YOUR PHONY , MEAN MOUTH, WHEN YOU ROLL IN THE MUD IT'S BOUND TO GET ALL OVER YOU. VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

jason, tx   October 11th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

HAHAHAHA

Real-Eyes   October 11th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

People are tired of this junk. Lives are at stake and Palin/McCain are lying to the American people. Thank God for the info age. America is waking up out of a long deep trance.

mitch   October 11th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

I LOVE AMERICA!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA! GO BACK TO ALASKA!!!!!LOL!

soccer moms for obama   October 11th, 2008 9:42 pm ET

palin, you are no hockey mom.

glad to hear that americans are finally seeing you for who you are.
a total monster that doesn't know what Christianity is all about.

you aren't a christian. you have too much hate for those who don't look like you or think like you (which consists of a lot of people).

just go back and say that you are guilty.

obama

Stew   October 11th, 2008 9:42 pm ET

This is just what you will get with Obama. Rude gutter politics.

barbara   October 11th, 2008 9:42 pm ET

Go home to Alaska!! Good photo oportunity having her children with her. Once again using them as props. Why aren't they in school?? I realize today is Saturday, but they are with her during the week. Good parenting on her part!!

nikki   October 11th, 2008 9:42 pm ET

good!

Lary Johnson-Tampa,FL   October 11th, 2008 9:42 pm ET

John McCain do you see what you started? We should not boo anyone however.

Maryland Hockey Mom   October 11th, 2008 9:42 pm ET

As a die hard Caps fan I say THANK YOU to all you beautiful Flyers fans for being there to express those sentiments. I just wish I could have been there to boo her in person.

independent   October 11th, 2008 9:41 pm ET

nice "hockey mom". hockey fans don't even like her!

Wayne   October 11th, 2008 9:41 pm ET

oops..they forgot she doesn't "show" well out side their controlled and staged events...

Beartrack   October 11th, 2008 9:41 pm ET

My, my a hockey mom booed by real hockey fans. It's just about time for that fat lady to sing sweet goodnight.

Helen,Ft Lauderdale   October 11th, 2008 9:41 pm ET

Good for you Sara!! I guess you are not a hockey mom after all. Your glow has faded!!!

OBama/Biden 2008

Doug   October 11th, 2008 9:41 pm ET

I feel badly for her children. How humiliating for them.

Chipster   October 11th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

I don't think too highly of the Alaskan governor either but there's really no reason to be rude to someone invited to the event. This sort of behavior reflects poorly on the participants more than it does on Gov. Palin. Those who oppose the McCain/Palin ticket need to voice their opinions in the voting booth on Nov. 4th. Please VOTE!

MATT WILL, W-S N.C.   October 11th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

That is what she gets. The bottom line is this: You lie. You are moron and mean as h___. You have family members, friends, close friends, in Alaska that is unsure if they will vote for you. What's up with that? Palin go home!

Ginny   October 11th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

The hockey fans at this game show their superior intelligence to sarah palin. Good for them.

Maggie from Virginia   October 11th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

My sentiments exactly... The majority of american people are decent people. We do not tolerate evil.

george   October 11th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

People were cheering and booing – tell it like it was Peter!

Tylen   October 11th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

Just goes to show you... even the hockey fans don't believe the whole "hockey mom, girl next door" schpiel. The only people she's appealing to right now are the hard-core fascists. Wouldn't it be a great day in America if McCain's camp won because they courted THAT vote! *puke*

Frank   October 11th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

We are getting a good look at the McCain mainstream: bigoted, backward looking ideologues.
Notice how most of the moderate Republicans have stayed away the last two weeks.
It's Cindy, Sarah and John the aka " the angry menage a trois"

Chance   October 11th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

Ya, didnt see that coming lol, (sarcasm)

D M Burke   October 11th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

The crowd booing Palin is evidence that more Americans realize what Palin really is like...a dangerous extremist who abuses executive power and combines church and state. McCain's choice of VP nominee shows his poor judgement. Palin is wildly making inaccurate judgements of Obama... has she no shame? She does not represent me. Go back to Wasilla, Sarah.

Bob   October 11th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

I am torn on this. Its important to respect all candidates and be welcoming , but at the same time she has been spreading a fair bit of hate around recently. I guess its better if she hears how hated she is becoming as opposed to just being pumped up by the faithful (the uninformed, the racists, the right wing radicals, etc). If I were going down such a hateful path, a night with the public like this might just make me aware of it.

David   October 11th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

Ha ha! That made my Saturday.

Vic   October 11th, 2008 9:39 pm ET

This is not the Philadelphia I remember when traveling to that city many times during the eighties. Whatever has caused this negative transformation of the citizens of the City of Brotherly Love is not only dispicable but scary. I cannot, in my wildest imagination, understand such rudeness toward the guest appearance of a beautiful lady and her two little daughters. On the other hand, some of the rhetoric that's out there right now from Sarah Palin's opponents makes it easier to understand, but certainly not appreciated. Say it ain't so, Philly!

Aleesa   October 11th, 2008 9:39 pm ET

Haha, great job Hockey Mom! Looks like America really loves you now!

Chris   October 11th, 2008 9:39 pm ET

Also note the Obama-Biden signs held up behind Gov. Palin while she was posing for the photo opportunity (more easily seen in pictures specifically of her dropping the puck). What were they thinking, sending her to a sporting game where pretty much everyone expected the crowd to be unruly & un-receptive?

YOLA   October 11th, 2008 9:39 pm ET

Well, I guess PA will stay blue! RFLMAO! What a joke!

Rodger   October 11th, 2008 9:39 pm ET

Sarah is poison! This was not the usual Conservative right wing crowd she is ranting and lying to!!! I hope the Flyers right wing owner is happy! The people and fans rule! Sarah, go back to Alaska!!!!!!

Tom Behan   October 11th, 2008 9:39 pm ET

Didn't someone WARN her this might happen.....so she could keep her kids from expereincing it. What a brainless mo

Chaco   October 11th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

How does that 'angry mob' mentality feel to ya now, Sarah? Huh? wink-wink

Jann in Denver   October 11th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

Uh Oh, the jig is up Sarah!

rob   October 11th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

welcome to philly! now go home....

Rache from Bowie   October 11th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

They booed because she and #894 are trying to divide our country at what appears to be klan rallys. This is not what we want in our leaders. This can't be. I have no idea who talked McCain into selecting Palin but his reputation has fallen so far so fast that he may not be able to return to the senate and be an effective member of that body.

David   October 11th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

Seems like a taste of what's to come...on November 4

lia   October 11th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

Erratic gambler and power abuser be our president ???
Booooooooooo

Joan Fl Voter   October 11th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

Thats because every one know she's a self proclaimed 'hocky mom' She is a fake and should be really focused on taking care of her 6 month old special needs baby! If she paid more attention to her family her17 yo would not have been knocked up!!!
Boooooooooooo!!! Go back to Alaska where Todd wants to seperate from the union!
She is Clueless and a complete Ditz who only knows how to recite a speech!

jen   October 11th, 2008 9:37 pm ET

Glad people are waking up and seeing the hate-inciting pitbull for what she is.

RevRayGreen   October 11th, 2008 9:37 pm ET

using the kids as props...........let's see the polls on Tuesday.

Linda   October 11th, 2008 9:37 pm ET

I am so ashamed to know that people in the USA are so disrepectful to these people. so ashamed for our country.

Noemi in Los Angeles   October 11th, 2008 9:37 pm ET

Boooo!!! Palin gets what she has been spreading all through the campaign... HATE!!

Karma is a...

Lee   October 11th, 2008 9:37 pm ET

I'd probably boo too. If I wanted to be subjected to Sarah P-lie-n, then I would go to a rally. Those hockey fans were FORCED

David   October 11th, 2008 9:37 pm ET

Flyers know the difference between ice hockey and bull hockey.

Go Obama!

Rennae B.   October 11th, 2008 9:37 pm ET

THE

PEOPLE

HAVE

SPOKEN

Hate and racism will never again prosper!!

Newfound Flyers fan   October 11th, 2008 9:33 pm ET

I call that Justice, with a capital J.

No Surprise   October 11th, 2008 9:33 pm ET

That's Philadelphia for you. They'd boo their own mothers.

Rita/Arkansas   October 11th, 2008 9:32 pm ET

I am terribly sorry that Palin's daughters had to be present to hear what happened to their Mother-but am not sorry that someone finally put her in her proper place. She has been a cancer on the political scene since she started. She is a sorry mess and should quietly resign and go home.

School Girl Sarah   October 11th, 2008 9:32 pm ET

Hockey fans know a fake when they see one

New Day   October 11th, 2008 9:32 pm ET

awesome!!!! The first time I ever liked Flyers fans

Sarah who?   October 11th, 2008 9:30 pm ET

i want to see this video cnn, it would do wonders for my dreams.....
