And booed Sarah Palin.

The world's most famous "hockey mom" can now join the ever-growing list of icons booed by Philly fans. Move over, Santa Claus and Mike Schmidt, Sarah Palin was booed tonight in front of Willow and Piper as she was introduced to drop the first puck at the Flyers' home opener against the New York Rangers.

Despite pleas from the scoreboard at the Wachovia Center, which read "Flyers fans, show Philadelphia's class and welcome America's No. 1 hockey mom, Sarah Palin," ABC News' Jake Tapper reports that the booing was so prevalent that the music had to be cranked up to "deafening" levels in order to compete with the fans from the city of Brotherly Love.

Although Pennsylvania is often considered a swing state, the jeering is easily heard in the video above, and one can clearly see a few Obama/Biden signs in the stands.

You have to earn our love and approval. You can't just waltz out in your mukluks with your media generated "hockey mom" image here in Philly and have even our HOCKEY fans not see right through you . . . and let YOU know about it, too!

We don't like phonies. We don't play with dolls, Gov. Barbie. ;)

I'm now going to sit back and watch the posted faux outrage and hand fluttering from our right leaning brethren, many of whom have tried their damndest to personally smear and tear down Barack Obama here.
