MTV audiences aren't exactly known for their civilized behaviour, and this is the most divided the nation has been since the Vietnam War. According to the CNN article they carried on the same way during the Bush daughters' segment but the mikes were turned down.
That sounds pretty logical. After the conservative part of the audience booed the Kerry's, you can bet that the other side wanted to make an impression and boo louder.

I heard a clip of it this morning on the radio. The Kerry kids got booed pretty bad. Of course there were cheers and more cheers went up when the boos got bad.

Gotta love a polorized electorate.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red
