Signs of a rift within pro war groups?

Michelle Obama, Dr. Jill Biden Draw Boos at NASCAR Event

First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden were grand marshals at today’s NASCAR season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, appearing as part of their charitable campaign to support military veterans and their families.

But their benign, bipartisan cause wasn’t enough to prevent public fallout from the nation’s polarized political climate as they were introduced before the crowd.

ESPN video from the event documented loud boos from some in the stands as the announcer named Obama and Biden, seconds before they delivered the “most famous words in motorsports,” telling drivers to start their engines.

The pair — who co-chair the Joining Forces initiative — stood beside retired Army Sgt. Andrew Barry and his family. Barry was wounded in action in Iraq and Afghanistan, retired from the military in 2009 and now volunteers at an Orlando veterans center, the announcer said. He received resounding applause.

Exactly. Obama said, "I'll take your wars in two countries and raise you two more."

The disrespectful and un-American hecklers of the Glorious Leader's wife are already being rounded up.

Justinjj, by posting that clip and flag in the background, what are you trying to suggest/say about generally pro Iraq war, pro military Nascar community?

Can you elaborate a bit?

What does that mean?

[moderate libertarian]

To her credit, despite calls from some African-American leaders for her to leave her husband after reports of alleged war crimes under his command, she stood by Obama.

It insinuates that Nascar fans are poor, dumb, rednecks who hate Obama for all the wrong reasons.

Not really meant to be a knock on Nascar fans on my part, I just thought it was a funny clip.

Barry was wounded in action in Iraq and Afghanistan You know the planners figured sticking these 2 aristocrats next to a wounded retired military member and his family would keep the crowd squelched.

How fuckin low of these scumbags of government using Wounded Vets and Families for their own PR protection.

[CaptainAmerica]

I would have booed her as well

[HOLLYWOOD]

No surprise, the NBC/MSNBC get Obama re-elected channel covered this morning.

On a another note, from that great philosopher George Carlin, "There's 3 things politicians HIDE BEHIND; The Flag, The Bible, and Children."

Looking at the picture... Old George was right.

At Fancy Farm Picnic this year when Mitch McConnell went to go speak people started heckling him. He immediately said "We need a moment of silence for our fallen soldiers" which of course quelled the crowd. It's disgusting! :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Too bad Texans didn't boo George W when he was on the mound @ this yrs World Series.

[Romulus]

This was a setup to rile up the Team O base... they knew they were going to get booed.

Team O is thunderless... gotta fire em up somehow by hating on some 'Nascar'!
