Just wondering: If Laura Bush had been booed at an NBA game, what would the reaction have been?

[OmahaBlueDog]

My guess is that it would have been judged the ultimate in disrespect from a low-class rabble (or perhaps a low class mob). Limbaugh, et. al. would be having seizures.

1. Yes indeed

2. Yes, he would. There would also be people here on DU that loved it.

The people who booed Michelle Obama would have done the same to any Democratic First Lady. Politics has gotten really nasty.

3. Duh, Rush would have called the crowd uppity. n/t

[alarimer]

4. NASCAR fans are right-wing assholes.

Stupid fucking rednecks, supporting right-wing politicians whose policies hurt them them most.

[frylock]

6. yes, all NASCAR fans are just like you have portrayed them..

all of them.

[lbrtbell]

10. Perhaps not all

But the crushing majority do fit that description, unfortunately. :(

5. The reaction according to Rush is that Obama is a Narcissist, sending Michelle there deliberate act.

He sent her there to MAKE THEM LOOK BAD!

:rofl:

And, asked by Rush what kind of man would send "his womaon" out there to face the boos, on purpose, the caller answered, "A Narcissist!"

:wow:

So, it was a dirty deed, a provocation, to dare to send Michelle to the NASCAR event, to provoke them hard workin' murkins like that!

And, further, he's a bastard narcissist for doing that TO HER!

:crazy:

Fucking fools....

7. She would have ran them over with her car

:hide:

[TheDebbieDee]

13. Lol ! Laura ran me over! Hah.

[OmahaBlueDog]

14. That's just plain bad and wrong!

:toast:

[RKP5637]

8. Ashcroft would have raised the terror alert! n/t

[taterguy]

9. Invasion if it had taken place at a Raptors game

[FSogol]

11. Invade Iran, weaken labor unions, restrict civil liberties, enrich Haliburton using Federal $$.

Did I miss anything?

12. Dixie Chicks vs. Hank Jr. and the response from the Country establishment.

Notice Hank Jr. received a standing ovation at the CMAs. The Dixie Chicks received credible death threats and bomb sniffing dogs at their concerts afterward.

:puke:
