I don't care if he's Dick Cheney, it's still rude and disrespectful to boo anybody like that. I can understand booing a player, but booing somebody you need to respect (even if he's a total Dick) is wrong.

True. Much as I'd love to hiss and boo at Bill Clinton, if he greeted me I'd probably shake his hand.

Should it say "American Emperor" or "Dictator" instead?

Same here. the hatred of the left scares me because they have a voice in the government.

Nevermind... the evil media is making this up to dishearten our troops in Iraq.

I don't think the troops give a rat's a** one way or the whether Dick Cheney received a standing ovation or stereophonic hisses.

It is disgusting to boo any vice-President or President. Respect the position even if you don't respect the person.

It's especially tacky when it's done at a baseball game.

Why? Is he our king? Should we bow before him? Should we not look upon him?

Common decency. Did I ever once say he is our King or that we should bow down before him or avert our eyes?

Do you boo everyday people you don't like on a regular basis? Don't like a co-worker, so you boo him when he enters the office? If you wouldn't do it to a co-worker or other everyday joe, why would you throw common decency out the window for the man the majority of the nation elected as the Vice-President? (and hey, let's not go down that "he wasn't elected" road, okay?)

Dude, he stole your money (and your kid's money) to make his friends rich. It's okay to boo people you deem to be corrupt crooks.

 

[superisis]

I probably wouldn't let him come within 10 feet of any female family members, but I'd be polite about telling him to stay the hell away from them.

I think this says more about how much you trust your female family members than anything else.

This is bull. The guy is in public office. If you don't want to be booed, don't be a Dick.

He deserved it.

Steal money from me to kill people to make your gut fat with caviar, and I see you in the street, you'll get alot more than a boo from me.

Boo was polite. They should have pegged him with rotten tomatoes and lettuce, then dragged him over to a guillotine.

I didn't like Clinton either, in fact I thought I hated him at the time, but Bush and Cheney have shwon me how incredibly worse, twisted, corrupt and disguisting humans in power can be.

Being respectful and courteus is different then bowing to a king. This kind of behaviour is unacceptable in adults. If you have constructive critisism to say to him do it later. Trying to humiliate someone is uncalled for.

So I guess people should wait until Bush steps down (together with Dick) and then Boo him?

Ummm... huh?

The guy who served in Vietnam in Cheneys place should have been the one to throw the ball.

 

[CartesianFart]

I didn't hear the booing either, just random crowd noise.

I go to a Cleveland Indians game alot,that is definately a boo.How would i know that,when another player (lets just say Albert Bell) is infamous,the noise is hard to forget.

 

[S.P.Q.R.]

So what? People get booed in sports stadiums. Wheter it is the referee or the vice president makes no difference to me.

 

[Drewcifer]

At least they didn't boo Santa Claus like the Eagles fans did.

I suspect that if this wasn't a Republican certain posters wouldn't be on their high horses about it.

I suspect you're right.

I also suspect that FOX covering up the crowd noise wasn't a partisan move. Apparently many people have told me that Yellow Jackets games don't have crowd noise; I can attest to the opposite. The TV stations are anti-crowd, I tell you!

How mature.

Fortunately, we have civil rights in this country, so we can be as immature as we want to.


As to the actual article... Well, they can do it if they want to. I wouldn't boo him, myself; I general show respect even to the people I intensely dislike. But it is the right of the people to have freedom of speech.
