You decide. Here’s the Youtube:

Doesn’t sound to “booish” to me, and according to this email by someone in attendance it wasn’t, and in fact it more orchestrated than anything. But don’t expect the media to report that tidbit.

“Hi Mac,

Just to let you know I was at the Flyers game where Sarah Palin came to drop the first puck. Prior to the game I noticed more than a few what appeared to be Barack Obama supporters throughout the crowd. It’s not surprising considering this is a democratic town.

Yet when Sarah was introduced they nearly stood in unison, as if it were prearranged and booed. I know the media is making it sound worse than it was, because there was surprisingly a lot of cheers too. Sorry I didn’t have a camera, but a lot of the Obama supporters did, most likely to post on the web.

Meanwhile the Ny Slimes continues the frontal assault on Palin:

“Let me start this off by saying, I would object to this sideshow whichever political party it involved. Having vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin drop the ceremonial first puck at the Flyers’ opener Saturday night was problematic not because it was Palin — Flyers owner Ed Snider’s decision under the flimsy excuse of “honoring” hockey moms — but because it is injecting politics in a place it should not be.”

I don’t seem to remember the writer of this article, Lynn Zinser, talking this way when the Obama Campaign wanted Barack to attend a NASCAR event, even to the point of hosting his own team car.
