Flyers organization blast music to drown out the booing---

[trumad]

I watched it on live stream and the music was blasting---- Star Wars type music.

How F'ing embarrassing.

[skooooo]

1. But was it still obvious, you think, that they were booing???

[AlCzervik]

3. oh yeah, they were booing before she even got on the ice.

[myrna minx]

7. The booing was thunderous and unmistakable, so they jacked the sound up to 11

and it still couldn't completely mask the crowd. Wow.

[AlCzervik]

10. i said almost the same exact thing in gd, lol. Music up to 11.

[myrna minx]

13. LOL. Great minds and all...

:hi:

[itsrobert]

2. Yup, they tried to drown it out

It didn't work. She tried to hide behind her kids. That didn't work either.

6. I turned my sound sound up on HD DirecTV it was overwhelming

the music couldn't drown it out. Thanks for the TV tip!

[crossroads]

8. I think the word got out and they were ready with that music!

Still could hear the boos tho!
CR

4. Wait till the homegrown videos make it to You Tube

Perhaps showing the crowd giving P-girl the thumbs down while booing it up.

[NMDemDist2]

5. lots of thumbs down though

:thumbsdown:

9. The Cardinals' organization did the same thing when Bush*

showed up in 2004 to throw the first pitch on opening day (Cards lost, unfortunately Bush* did not). People booed but unless you were on DU or there, the corporate media didn't report it.

11. the media has changed a lot since 2004

Amazing how much the internet can evolve, in only four years. And this is just the beginning. Most people still don't know how useful the internet is for Democracy.

15. The internet is all we got left to represent the soap box of old. n/t

12. It took a 2nd viewing at one of the YouTubes posted here

before I could tune my ears into the boos because the music was so loud. You can actually hear it at the very beginning, literally under the music, in what appeared to be a continuous buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu (with a wide "u" rather than a rounded "ou") before they cranked the music to block it! I await the homemade videos to get the true crowd sounds!!!!

And someone pointed out and I confirmed that she tapped the handler standing next to her and mouthed - "They're booing me".

You think lady? :rofl:

[Essene]

14. slightly better youtube video

[BumRushDaShow]

16. Oh yes!!! You can REALLY hear it better at the beginning

before they crank up that music! :applause:

[crispini]

17. Haha, sound is much better on that one esp. at the beginning. nt

[Bozita]

18. Some of the comments are from folks attending the game.

[Barack_America]

22. We got a text from a friend at the game.

A roar of boos.

[nomorewhopper]

19. fuck comcast, they own the flyers. right wing racist nazi company

[Barack_America]

23. On the other hand, a Comcast exec. hosted a $5 million fundraiser for Obama last night.

[nomorewhopper]

24. yay good for him. still hate hte comcast ceo though.

[TornadoTN]

20. What's even better - the music didn't work nearly well enough

Those boos were astounding. You can even see in some of the crowd pans that a lot of fans had Obama signs too!

They really tried their best to drown out the boos, but the people who did that probably don't know a damn thing about Philly or Philly fans. What's even more hilarious is the reaction Palin had coming out of the tunnel - "Their booing me?"

21. How different from the reception she gets at her campaign rallies!

Was nobody chanting "Drill, baby, drill" then?
