The chart topping hip hop rapper star who used a network hurricane fundraiser to charge "George Bush doesn't care about black people" was loudly and lustily booed during last night's NFL kickoff show.
The appearance of Kanye West, who was beamed into the Boston stadium via remote from Los Angeles, received a strongly negative response from the crowd.
"The boos were thunderous and lasted for much of his number," reports the BOSTON GLOBE.
Developing...
There must be video of this somewhere.
You missed that this was posted already too:

Glad to hear that it happened...and in Boston?
(yeah right! LOL!)
NFL football fans are red state types, even in Massachusetts. NFL football is so red state.
Good for them!
Oops, I didn't page down far enough when I searched on "Kayne".
Moderator,
Feel free to remove this thread. Thanks.
"Football involves the two worst components of American society - violence and committee meetings."
- George Will - on PBS' "Ken Burns' Baseball" - circa early 1990s.
I mean "Kanye".
I'm sure the boos will be edited out, ala the footage of Hillary being lustily booed at the concert right after 9/11 attended by the firemen and policemen (who all looked hammered!).
I bet he will claim he was booed because of racism.
bttt
the globe was very upset that he got booed too
idiots
Pepsi has an ad on TV with West as a spokesman... it was absolutely disgusting. I'm not advocating some silly boycott of Pepsi products (good luck trying it) but they should pull the ad.
Coming out of Ted Kennedy's nesting grounds, I'm totally surprised--happily--but nonetheless, surprised.
...I can hardly wait for the next brilliant PR move from the NFL. Maybe gangsta fights at half time?
...pole dancing 'cheerleaders'?
I agree ... doesn't really work. Pepsi should, however, be told we are not appreciative of their ads.
This is almost as good as when the FDNY Firefighters booed Shrillary when she gave a speech at their ball, post 9/11.
BINGO
Let Pepsi know how you feel about their commericials.

Kanye West doesn't care about black people.
Me I think I will call and ask why the big names haven't given more other than a little time.
spoken like a true metrosexual....
spoken like a true metrosexual....
AWESOME!
But most blacks believe that Boston (MA.)is one of the most racist areas of the country regardless of the dem base. So, they will just blame it on the racist from that area attending the game.
Kayne West is on Ellen now and not making a whit of sense. Ellen is slobbering all over him.
Dixie Chicks; any questions?
I'll call them ahead of time, and say that if I don't hear any Bush Bashing, that I'll contribute. So in other words, I won't be contributing because we all know it's going to happen.
If he did, he'd be right (for once). He was booed because of HIS racism.
I am thoroughly sick of this disgusting charge that the Prez hates Black people! sheesh, it reminds me of the Black radicals of the 60's! It's so RETRO!
Thanks for posting the PEPSI link. Let's go tell 'em what we think!
"pole dancing 'cheerleaders'"
Mmmmmmm....er, I mean, that's disgusting!!!!!!
Is Ellen still a lesbian or what? She keeps fawning over men like Justin Timberlake.
This is the BEST story I have heard ALL DAY!
You never know about Boston. Yes, just about all the officeholders are Dims (but the GOP hardly puts anyone up to challenge them, plus there's a political "machine") but if you look at the radio ratings, conservatalk WRKO and WTKK beat the pants off the Scare America stations.
I work nights so I missed this (heard parts of the game on radio)
"Let Pepsi know how you feel about their commericials."
I think the Pepsi Board is still busy reading through the emails about their America-hating CFO, Ms. Nooyi.
