In a lot of the cases, it's the parents doing the cheering.
When I was young and foolish ( as opposed to old and foolish like I am now!) I did not understand how truly mean-spirited Keillor really was.
Haven't listened to him for years.
The left’s visceral hatred never fails to shock and horrify me.
Is Keilor still around? Haven't heard of him for years.
I heard a report on this while reading National Review.
Again,
How incredibly crass and tacky.
GK should be ashamed (and if he ain't, I will be happy to help him).
I listened to it, and I think GK actually handled it pretty well. He kept going, not acknowledging those who couldn't keep it in their pants for two seconds. He called him a great man, too.
To listen at home....(so I can hate liberalism even more...hehe)
I heard that too, almost the same way. I was braced for Keillor himself to say something hateful, knowing how he loathed Reagan. But he himself was classy. I was appalled at the catcalls and cheers and, like you, waited to see whether he'd slap them down.
Nope.
Now, that would be an odd step-aside from the format. But he could have said SOMETHING. My most charitable thought is that he's kicking himself for not doing so.

I listened to the clip, and it seemed as if only 1 or 2 people actually screamed. I did not hear much applause at all. I think we all need to listen to it. However, I agree with many here, the democrats are vile and full of hate.
What the he** were you doing listening to NPR? Other than Car Talk that network is a waste of radio bandwidth.
Unfortunately I was in the car Sunday and caught Harry Shearer's first 5 minutes and that was disgusting.
I loathe misleading threads, But thanks for the link, and allowing me to hear a self-professed liberal give a very fine tribute to our dear President Reagan.
Had it been Clinton who bought it, we would kill the fatted calf, tap a keg and put the Dixieland music on the victrola.
I was listening to the Michael Medved (?) show yesterday where some stupid California woman said she wanted to go view the body to make sure the old man was really dead.
The Democratic Party (Liberals) and the DNC are made up of hateful, viscious, malescious looney people.
For the record, the same show ended with him singing "America the Beautiful", and an audience 'message' saying hello to a son in the military was greeted with wild cheering and applause.
I missed the beginning of the show, so I didn't hear the announcement, but for the general tone of what I heard I couldn't believe I was listening to PHC.
PS: The missus always insists we listen if we're in the car at that hour.
Let's be fair here. I thought Keillor (who is a hypocritical left-wing bum IMHO) was very gracious, and it's not even clear to me that the two cheers were intended to "dis" Reagan. The cheers could be interpreted as a cheer for Reagan, although I admit that's debatable.
