MTV has been pushing a get out the vote program that is only a thinly disguised Vote for Kerry campaign. They've been pushing politics, and in particular Kerry, on their audience for months now.

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.

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.

MTV, Miramax, Michael Moore, NY Times, CNN, ABC, NBC, etc., etc. It's all part of a great Orwellian nightmare.
