Ted Re...One boo was one too many.
There weren't any boos as far as I can hear. In the first place your reporter claimed the crowd booed, and certainly, when he said crowd, that would mean most of the crowd. There weren't any. And when he said GW didn't stop them, one would assume GW knew there was booing going on. You can't hear any boos, and your disingenious statements that they fudged the tape, are ridiculous. Prove your assertions..
IN fact I think I will prove my assertion the crowd didn't boo.

AP Retracts 'Clinton Booed' Story
The Associated Press has retracted its Friday afternoon report that a crowd at a Bush rally in West Allis, Wisc., booed when President Bush offered ex-President Clinton best wishes for a speedy recovery from coronary bypass surgery scheduled for next week.
In a report that moved on the AP wire at 9:27 a.m. Saturday, the AP said:

"This is a correction to an incorrect story posted by AP on Friday stating the crowd booed the President when he sent his good wishes. The crowd, in fact, did NOT boo."
A transcript of Bush's remarks released by the White House noted applause after Bush offered Clinton "best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery."
ABC Radio Network news also confirmed that the Clinton reference was applauded, not jeered.
In its original version of the story, the AP had reported: "Bush's audience of thousands in West Allis, Wis., booed. Bush did nothing to stop them."
The erroneous report prompted a firestorm of outrage on interactive news Web sites like FreeRepublic.com, where posters complained of media bias and circulated contact numbers to protest the AP's false claim.
In a revised version of the story that moved on the wire late Friday, the AP said: "The crowd reacted with applause and with some 'ooohs,' apparently surprised by the news that Clinton was ill."

There, now don't you feel just positively stupid for your assinine remarks. The good people of wis. and Tench deserve an apology.
What has happened to WI cheeseheads......you use to be decent people when I was growing up in MN.
Considering your tasteless berrating of Tench, your senator Murray applauding Bin Laden, and you, saying one good thing to come out of the Madid bombings, was they would help defeat Bush; I hardly think you are in any position to berate the good citizens of Wisconsin over non-existent boos. |
