You don't they would've posted it with all the booing left in, do you?
A mixing board is the washed up old singer's best friend.

But of course as he is an anti war advocate, he isn't supporting Hillary so of course you must trash him. Hey let Hill have Murdoch and Company, Edwards has Mellancamp! And Mellancamp rocks!

Why make this out like the Kennedy Assassination ?

You really appear to be vindictive ....

It is important to note that the video was produced by Mellencamp, and NOT by Edwards ...

The only 'mixing board' is the house system board, and would not be available to political operatives editing MPG's .... So your claim is extremely unlikely ....

I speak as a Democrat who will vote for Edwards OR Clinton (OR the others) ...

We are tired of the trite attacks ....

"the booing and the cheers were about 50/50."
Funny, that's not what the professionals posting the video want you to think.

Or are you just being Edwards-like?

was produced by the same people who brought down building 7 on September 11th...

Maybe it was the same people in the live audience spewing diatribes at Bill Maher on his show a couple of weeks ago.

To think that they are in cahoots....

Shiver-me-timbers...









:scared:

Not!

At best, one report from one person who was "there" would hardly be a good gauge of the entire crowd, just of those few immediately around her.

But here's the funny thing: MSNBC played that clip this morning with the cheering and no booing. Before doing so, the host laughed and said Edwards showed up at a concert and was booed. Then they played the clip WITH NO BOOING, and afterward the shill next to Pat Buchanan laughed and said oh yes, he was booed, that was embarrassing, he should have known better than to go to an event where people paid to see someone else. All the while SHOWING PICTURES OF PEOPLE CHEERING AND REACHING UP TO SHAKE HIS HAND.

Blatant propaganda. Do you think people won't see through this?

making a claim that (1) they were there and (2) that's what happened.

That's not "evidence" by any stretch of the imagination.

suggests that the cheers were louder than the boos. John Edwards seems genuinely pleased with the crowd's reaction.

seemed very happy with the crowd's reaction to Edwards' appearance. That suggests to me that, at least from the stage, the welcoming cries were louder than the boos. Also, Edwards' thank you and his smile were genuine. I watch a lot of Edwards videos. His face shows it if he is uncomfortable. He felt welcome and at ease.

and good to see the two Johns together :)

I think this John and John combo much better than the one from 2004. And this time, the right one will be at the top of the ticket! I don't think John Mellencamp should quit his night job to run for VP, though.

What a snide remark, and by the way Mellencamp was at the Dem convention in '04, so Edwards doesn't own him like you think. Oh and by the way what did Edwards do for the '04 ticket? tick, tock, tick, tock.................. Sheesh.

:toast:

:kick:

WooHoo, thanks for sharing. I grew up in Mellencamp's Small town.

Looks like it was a great concert and a non-story for the entertainment news.

K & R

Then Edwards has found a MUCH warmer welcome than he might find here at DU, where candidates are cut down to size regularly by armchair pundits who promote their own favorite only by insulting the others ...

This is another opportunity to praise Mellencamp, who at times, like Edwards, has found a cold audience here at DU ..... Yet the man keeps pumping out roots-rock-n-roll as strong as Springsteen, and always with a deep love for the common citizens for which he is part ...

He is a real treasure ....

I love Mellencamp. Sad that people have to distort every blessed thing, obviously cheering and clapping. Mellencamp has supported Edwards for a long time, Kerry too. He's a good guy to have on our side, and he gets rural America too. We ought to listen to the guy, not create political shitstorms for him.

greet the candidates we love. How anyone would think that the boos prevailed, I do not know. People cheered when John Edwards came on and they cheered when he left. Someone misrepresented the events that occurred there. The MSM will do anything to keep John Edwards down. The MSM does not like his message.

Lots of woohoos there, and the higher pitched ones are women. Would the right wing say the Beatles had been booed when they heard the same thing? That is called a lot of excited women, and I'm sure I would have been one of them, had I been there.

I b'lieve we have a winner.

... maybe it was because he refused to sing?

Now, if you want to hear some Boos...

Once again... I should NOT be the only one to "Boo" The Animatronic Bush at Disney World!

Go, Johnny Go!!

generally welcoming Edwards.

He certainly was gracious, and didn't want to interrupt.

Very presidential.

Before Edwards comes out, Mellencamp is doing a call-and-response with the crowd:

JM: I've seen it all in a

crowd: small town!

JM: had myself a ball in that

crowd: small town!

You can barely hear the crowd on that.

I was in the center section on the floor, nearly back to the sound boards, and what I heard was about a 50/50 mix of cheers and booing.

I've been a very strong Edwards supporter since I first saw him in '03. No one could want there to have been only cheers more than me.

I saw the early post saying he was boo-ed off the stage.

gosh. He looks so much more presidential than our current idiot of a president.

He looks very relaxed, but still presidential. Mellencamp hearts JRE.

I :loveya: both of them.

And I live in a rural area too!

:kick:

a hand picked audience like * always has, there will always be that 20% or so that would boo any Democrat.

totally full of shit. 'magine dat.

and I've seen John Mellencamp in concert and he ROCKS!! He is a great guy and his Farm-Aid Concerts have been raising money for Farm Families in need for years.

A great man and I love that he is an Edwards supporter.

didn't sound like anyone booing but loud cheering. I thought it odd at the time ...figuring they would play some snip or show someone singled out with a loud Booing...but they never did. So, i figured it was just more propaganda from them. Glad to know my gut instinct was correct. The RW must have sent the Talking Point over to MSNBC and told them to say it but no one could find the BOO so they just ran the clip and figured our ears would lie to us... :eyes:

See my post 34 upthread...you beat me to it!

Why? Hillary wasn't there, was she?

If that was booing the audience was loaded with a lot of sopranos.

to reality. Unless you were in the very small section of people who were booing, or wooing (it's hard to tell which it is) you wouldn't have even noticed. But of course the corporate media twists reality into the shape they want to see.

by the media--as usual. They are nothing but propaganda.

I was there and could very much tell the booing came from all around the arena, not just my section. It was laughable. There was definitely more booing than cheering. And looking around, people were VERY unhappy to have Edwards interrupt their concert. The video has definitely been altered. Sure, the drunks in front may have been cheering, but the people there enjoying the concert definitely were NOT. Even the paper the next morning discussed the less than warm welcome Edwards received.

It's interesting to dissect this story from the first moment it was reported, to the way the blogosphere has approached it, to the you tube video, and now to round two of the attempt to mediate reality.

If that's booing....then Mellencamp was singing Mozart. IOW....NOT!

I just hope Edwards left a tip.... ON THE TABLE... where ever he ate!

The desperation of the opposition is astounding.... makin' shit up.

And neither Edwards nor Mellencamp were acting as if anything had gone wrong, in fact it looked like Edwards was basking in the warm reception. Score another coup for the right wing media; they sure can manufacture a scandal.

out of such a little deal!

:silly:

who cares if he was there?
honestly people.

i mean, even if u dont like him... i dont understand the point?


its mellencamps show... he can do what he wants.

not like edwards got up n said HEY VOTE FOR ME!


little to do about nothing is all i see here.

so everyone stop bickering and being mad that their choice wasnt the one up on that stage.
maybe edwards listens to mellencamp.
sheesh.

i swear, some people at DU are nuttier than some right wingers ive met. only difference is the people at DU are nutty over silly crap and right wingers are nutty over things that cost people lifes.
