Former VP Cheney was booed by some in the crowd as he was wheeled out for the inauguration. Was this in bad taste to do this at the inauguration? Or was it deserved?

It was in bad taste, but what do you expect from the lower class democrats.

Well I do not know if condemning their bad action by naming calling is a good idea. Not all democrats are that way....just a majority at the inauguration.

I would consider it to be hatred and bigotry (is one party truly the good guys and the other, the bad guys? I think not). And so, to me, it is both wrong and uncouth.

I agree their actions were in very poor taste and showed no class.

Wow, I didn't catch that. Can't say I'm suprised though, given the fnatic nature of some of the Obama supporters in the crowd. I am no big Cheney fan, believe me, but this showed a lack of class, taste and the "unity" Obama and his supporters have been pushing since the elections.

yep I agree. It was completely uncalled for.I am not a cheney fan...never have been. But Booing him was just wrong. I caught some of it when they pushed him out but then after the swearing in CNN was replaying that part and saying how bad and loud the booing was. Of course they did not condemn it.

People may not like him, and may be angry with him, but this was not only bad taste but also bad manners. I suppose we are so used to doing this at sport events, you know, booing at bad athletes, coaches, whoever, that people simply think it's alright here, too. Since this is broadcast around the world, for some countries it just showed and confirmed how redneck Americans can be. People need to think before they act that way. They have to ask themselves what image they want to project.

Is it just me but people do not really use manners anymore. Not just today but most of the time. It used to be important but now not so much.

Deserved or not, it was inappropriate for the time and place. Today isn't about Cheney or Bush etc. It's Obamas and Bidens day. Why bring anything ugly into it just because you can?

exactly...but I guess some people (alot actually) at the inauguration did not learn their manners.

It was in VERY poor taste and typical of the hypocrisy I keep seeing from those who are now calling for unity. He may deserve to be booed, but THAT was neither the time, nor the place for it. I really wish Obama's minions would actually LISTEN to him when he speaks out against such garbage. There are just too many hateful people among his minions.

I think this was in very bad taste. It was definitely deserved yes, but not at an event that so many people were looking forward to and an even that was supposed to be the beginning of a new era in our country. Right angry letters or protest against the people you do not agree with but do not do it at such a place as this. I do not know what those people were thinking.

I agree. It was an event watched around the world...you would have thought they would have been on their best behavior.
