Palin mistakes fans for protesters at Va. rally

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) ? Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin mistook some of her own fans for hecklers Monday as a rally that drew thousands.

A massive crowd of at least 20,000 spread across the parking lot of Richmond International Raceway, and scores of people on the outer periphery more than 100 yards from the stage could not hear.

"Louder! Louder!" they began chanting, and the cry spread across the crowd to Palin's left. Some pointed skyward, urging that the volume be increased.

Palin stopped her remarks briefly and looked toward the commotion.

"I hope those protesters have the courage and honor to give veterans thanks for their right to protest," she said.


Some in the crowd tried to shout toward her what was really being said, but she couldn't hear them.

Some in the crowd had stood in place for more than three hours on a sunny day without shade. At least 25 people collapsed from heat-related illnesses and three were hospitalized, according to authorities with the Henrico County fire department.





I guess when you're booed as much as she is you just assume they're booing you. And I guess your comeback has something to with veterans?
Come on. What's Palins I.Q.? Calista Flockharts weight?

Agree with loki8481 that this isn't newsworthy.

Agree with OP that republican politicians pandering to concepts of nationalism (veterans, flags, etc) is purposefully misleading and annoying as hell to hear.

And how was she to know?

?There is no way a Dem protest group would ever try to interrupt a rally?
