How do you know it was a liberal audience?
I think he was being booed because he was serving up the standard establishment rhetoric about the troops defending our freedoms (they are not, even our own troops know it) and people have had ten years or so of war to recognize the fact that our freedoms are at risk because of those within (scoundrels like Bolton).
I'm no liberal and I'd have booed him... I just wonder whats taking you so long to wake up?

I'm see what the fuss is about. The guy gets standing ovation, camera pans back. Bolton gets applause camera pulls back and anyone with eyes can see that it wasn't as big as the vet guy's reception. Frankly, I'm glad they turned down the volume because it hurt my ears. I don't think the sound tech was expecting that much gain and just cranked it down to bring back to standard maybe he went to low but like I said I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Business as usual for media manipulation?

Faux news propaganda at it's finest. I can't believe anyone follows that garbage, or actually thinks it's "news"

This thread is not about MSNBC (faux news).

In a way, he did. I'm sure he's had worse. This is getting more and more common today. It's mostly done by people who couldn't fight their way out of wet paper bag. They wouldn't have the slightest clue as to what a really "bad day" is, much less had one. I think they should be required to walk in the shoes of whom they are talking to for just one day. That's kind of hard to do when the only thing they ever "fired" was a load out of their big fat mouth! And I quote just this past week... "big effing whoop!" If you can't razzle them...baffle them with bulls***!

Actually it wasn't an audience of liberals. It was an audience of libertarians and isolationists. They likely were Ron Paul supporters.
