News: Michelle Obama and Jill Biden booed at NASCAR event

The headline makes it seem like all of the NASCAR attendees booed them - it was only a handful or so. And in the body of the article it also states that no one heard the booing over the loud noises of everything that was going on!

So looks like one reporter heard one person booing, perhaps, and decided to write that as the headline.

But of course all the message boards related to the article are dissing the intelligence of Nascar fans, calling them Racists, etc. - painting them with a broad brush.

Just as egregious as condemning all blacks, or all Mexicans, for the actions of one person...

From CBS News: Michelle Obama and Jill Biden booed at NASCAR

First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, Vice President Joe Biden's wife, were booed by some NASCAR fans as they served as the grand marshals for the racing circuit's final event Sunday.

Obama and Biden were at the Homestead-Miami Speedway to promote Joining Forces, an organization that promotes the hiring and training of veterans. They were joined by Army Sgt. Andrew Barry, a veteran of the Afghan and Iraqi wars who now volunteers at an Orlando, Fla., veterans center, and his family. The clip shows that people cheer for the soldier, but boo when the two women's names are announced. There are some audible sounds of approval, but they seem to be mostly drowned out by the dissenters.

However, there's been some dispute as to how drastic the booing was. ABC News reports that a source who was with Obama said that no one at the event could hear the booing over the "loud chaotic program with jets flying over and tons of noise."

And according to the Associated Press, the women received a standing ovation at the pre-race driver's meeting. Obama also spoke at a NASCAR-Joining Forces barbecue for military families. She talked to the the military children at the event, thanking them for their sacrifice of being strong while their parents are away.
