I believe the audience was there for music and is sick of MTV's politicking. The booing was probably just as much aimed at MTV as at the Kerry daughters.
Good. I hope advertisers paid notice also.
Hell, they pushed Bill Clinton way back with that "boxers or briefs" crap.
MTV is finding out what many universities are finding out...they aren't in control any more.
Exactly. If they're going to go into the political arena, then they've got to be able to handle criticism. But I think they're so used to all the puff-piece coverage and treatment they've gotten, they sound like they're in shock that anybody would boo them!
Kerry's kids (minus his son) have been vocal in support of there father, which is fine but also vocal in there attacks on Bush, something the twins haven't been with Kerry.
Either way, I don't think the booing was necessarily pro-bush or anti-kerry. Its possible, but alot of the people might honestly be sick of politics, and sick of hearing elitists tell them how to vote especially at a non political event. People do OD on this stuff
It also doesn't help kerry's kids that some of the people that booed them may have been naderites or deaniacs. On the upside, these kids aren't claiming, as the DUmpster was, that it was really the bush twins getting boooed.
The booing is also an insight to a younger generation mob psychology within a younger American culture.
I've noticed the entertainment industry has been promoting numerous 'socialist' perspective films and shows over the prime cable forums this last week,...recent Class C films made during Clinton's reign. They tend to imply nationally led financing of social services en lieu of local or individually controlled funding mechanisms as a cultural norm.
I suspect this younger generation may have their own thoughts on such garbage. in large part because they've seen the consequence from the bottom up.
Culturally, I suspect Americans in future generations might be more prone to undisciplined versions of mob psychology witnessed in past 'socialist' failings and fallings. For example, the fall of Mussolini wan't very pretty, nor that of many lessor 'elites' who rode the wave of socialism until it came crashing down. Not limited to socialism, the mob psychology of the French Revolution also exposed some devastating consequences to previously elevated classes.

"If only you had the presence of mind to push her off stage, you could have rescued her later and won a Silver Star with a V on it."
LOL!
And timid, and fearful, and shocked, SHOCKED that anyone would DARE to not agree with them ... especially in public.
You have to wonder what planet they were raised on that they've never had someone disagree vehemently with them.
Mummy and daddums obviously didn't prep them very well.
Ha!!
I almost feel sorry for those girls.
Almost.
Yup, that's about the size of it.
"I think the booing was out of line. Those girls didn't get to choose their father (OBVIOUSLY!) or his career. I'd be pissed if someone did that to the twins.
On the other hand, if they're going to hop on stage they'd better be ready to duck some tomatoes. I don't know. It's hard for me to articulate my thoughts on the matter. I guess I just felt sorry for them."
The booing was out of line but considering who the audience was are you suprised?
Actually appealing to this age group to vote is just foolish.
The 18yr old vote should be rescinded (we are not drafting anymore which was the major reason it passed) and return to the 21 yr old vote.

Wow! Did you write that off the top of your head?
Very impressive!
Welcome to the real "little people" world.
Sigh,..I admit it was a bit redundant and poorly punctuated.
The real enemy probably isn't 'socialism' per se, but 'socialists' tend to identify many of our real enemies with that name and are accordingly grouped.
Vanessa has the beak; Alex has the boobs.

Apparently that's not a long trip.
Those old enough to die for their country are old enough to vote. Eliminate registration at 18 & have 21 as the minimum age to volunteer & then changing the age back to 21 would make sense.
