Democracy of Hypocrisy alright.

August 30, 200421 yr I thought it was funny because I didn't think it was appropriate for any of them to be there then the one daughter putting her finger to her mouth and lecturing the audience that what they have to say is very important go away and let daddy speak ....
August 30, 200421 yr i'm sure they were booing the bush daughters too...you just wouldnt know since they cut to the tape.
August 30, 200421 yr i'm sure they were booing the bush daughters too...you just wouldnt know since they cut to the tape. 532815[/snapback] I got a different impression. Most of the booing came when Daly announced the Bush daughters, not the Kerry kids. Regardless of geography, I find it hard to beleive that the demographic that was in attendance would boo the Dems.

August 30, 200421 yr the boos we could actually hear on TV were absolutely directed toward the kerry daughters....hell, it intensified brutally when the one mentioned that people should vote for their dad. imo it was extremely obvious whom the televised boos were for. i had a little chuckle reading this...cnn's coverage was (predictably) far different than any other media coverage ive seen/heard of it: Kerry, Bush daughters booed on MTV Monday, August 30, 2004 Posted: 12:16 PM EDT (1616 GMT) MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Reaching out to young Americans at MTV's Video Music Awards Sunday night, the daughters of President Bush and his Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry were met by loud cheers and jeers. It was unclear exactly whom the cheers and the boos were meant for or why. They began immediately after radio and MTV personality Carson Daly introduced "from New York, Barbara and Jenna Bush and here in Miami, Vanessa and Alexandra Kerry." The Kerry daughters were at the event in Miami; the Bush daughters appeared in a pre-recorded video. "My sister and I are thrilled to be here tonight with you all in Florida," said Vanessa Kerry, "and to get this chance to suggest that you get involved in this election and vote -- and hopefully that you vote for our father." MTV cameras showed some audience members apparently giving the women a standing ovation, but the mixture of boos and cheers continued. Alexandra Kerry added that millions of young Americans can help determine the November election, "but we appreciate that in our democracy people are free to feel differently about who they vote for." The Kerry daughters then turned around to watch, along with the MTV audience, the video of the Bush daughters. "Hey Alexandra and Vanessa, and hey to everyone at the VMAs," said Barbara Bush. "Jenna and I really wish we could be there, but we're in New York this week to support our dad and, as you might have guessed, we want to suggest that you vote for him in November." (Special report: America Votes 2004, the Republican convention) Jenna Bush said, "We can all agree on the importance of voting." MTV's broadcast turned down sounds of the audience during the playing of the video, but the vocal audience could still be heard. The Bush twins are 22 years old. Vanessa Kerry is 27; Alexandra turns 31 on Sunday. The boos seemed to die down and cheers took their place toward the end of the segment, when the Kerry daughters took back the floor and encouraged people to support victims of Hurricane Charley, which devastated portions of Florida earlier this month. Vanessa Kerry said, "Despite our differences, we all agree this election and this process are important. And we all agree that all of us are part of a greater American family." Speaking to CNN afterward, Vanessa Kerry said the booing had "scared" her, but added, "We're fighting for something so strongly, I will go up there and hear the whole arena boo if it means connecting with one person." She also said it was "surreal" to appear at the VMAs, known for having one of the most energetic and responsive crowds of any awards show. CNN producer Rachel Wells contributed to this report. http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/08/30/...ates.daughters/
August 30, 200421 yr i'm sure they were booing the bush daughters too...you just wouldnt know since they cut to the tape. 532815[/snapback] I got a different impression. Most of the booing came when Daly announced the Bush daughters, not the Kerry kids. Regardless of geography, I find it hard to beleive that the demographic that was in attendance would boo the Dems. 532834[/snapback] I was thinking the same thing. It's not about where they are, it's about who's there.
August 30, 200421 yr I think they booed just because they don't want to hear about politics unless its from a black guy with a mohawk and his gay friend who used to be a reverend. It was definitely the Kerry daughters they were booing at though.
August 30, 200421 yr who cares? so there were some bush supporters in the crowd that wanted to boo the Kerry daughters, they have every right to. whatever, it happens. i'm sure the bush daughters don't exactly get cheered everywhere they go either. plus, it was annoying how the VMA's had to get people to talk about the importance of voting every damn 10 minutes. we got the point! and then they have that slogan "vote or die" well damn, that's just ever so nice. on a side note, like i said mentioned before - yeah shaq looked great. there's no doubt he lost a lot of weight which is awesome since this must mean hes finally dedicated and wasn't bullshitting like maybe the last couple of years he promised to lose weight. 2 more months!!!
August 30, 200421 yr Honestly, both of the candidates' daughters have no place making political announcements at the VMAs. Something makes me think the lower level booed Bush's daughters, and the upper levels booed Kerry's daughters (if I remember the seating arrangements of the VMAs, haven't seen them in 4 or 5 years so it might have changed).
August 30, 200421 yr Honestly, both of the candidates' daughters have no place making political announcements at the VMAs. 533465[/snapback] MTV seems to think they do though.

The regular people probably were the ones booing Kerry's daughters which makes no sense but what I can say.
August 31, 200421 yr Author You do realize the importance of people to vote, its a privilage that people who dont have die for, I really hate it when people take the right to vote for granted...maybe its because I am the son of cuban immigrants that I feel this way
August 31, 200421 yr People should vote and I think it's important, but don't broadcast it every 5 minutes. I wouldn't have booed anybody if I was there, it's not them running for president. Now, if they blatantly were saying to vote for their father I would have booed.

Um, why does that make no sense again?
