"I've been warned that Flyers fans, they get so enthused, that they boo everybody at the drop of the puck," [Palin] said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Saturday afternoon. "But what I thought I'd do is I'd put Piper in a Flyers jersey, bring her out with me. How dare they boo Piper!"

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Actually, the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull with lipstick is Sarah Palin.

Earth to Sarah Palin: No one was booing your daughter you idiot! They were vocally showing displeasure with YOU. My God, this woman never ceases to amaze me. I wonder what it's like to live with such a dim perception of reality.

I watched it live on local tv (I live in South Jersey) and the boos came so fast and furious they had to crank up the music in the arena in an attempt to drown them out. I can't stand the woman and I cannot wait until she and McLame lose the election and she can go crawl back to the iceberg she came from.

Only those who are completely out of touch with this election, the state of our economy and the negative impact a democratic presidency, house and senate would have on our country, could take pleasure in seeing fans in Philadelphia treat a candidate this way. If Hillary Clinton had been the candidate receiving the boos, each of you would have been outraged at the treatment. I would suggest that you take a good look inside and realize that Governor Palin has improved the lives and economic status of her constituents. Then again, I am writing to liberals who would rather see our rights taken away then make the right presidential choice.
