Call me crazy, but it probably had something to do with a bomb.
INDC Journal had a good article and interview with the woman in question, and I think it's worth a read:
She comes accross as a relatively reasonable grieving mother, who is being used and confused by the crazed nuts she is protesting with. With today's outburst, it looks like she gets more confused the longer she spends with them.
Well, Mrs. Niederer, I'm guessing that your son died because he was doing the job he volunteered to do. Ya know, keeping america safe, keeping you safe, keeping all of us safe so that you can run around free to speak your mind while attempting to keep other people from being heard.
But, maybe I'm just reading too much into it.
Good old Doug Stephan (the radio guy) mentioned this episode this morning. He was furious that the Kerry supporter was taken away in handcuffs!! OUTRAGEOUS!! Dougie yelled...OUTRAGEOUS!! Just TYPICAL of "this administration's ways"... He failed to mention that Mrs. Bush was trying to give a speech, and if the woman had merely sat quietly, maybe she wouldn't have had to be forcibly removed.
I AM happy that Dougie's sidekick, Nancy Skinner, will have to wait until next time to run for US senator for Illinois. Thank goodness she didn't make it to the finals this time! Hillary-lite.
What group got to this woman and gave her this shirt and put her up to this, using her greif for their political stunt? Assuming she didn't do it all on her own, it should be publicized that an organization affiliated with John Kerry is preying on military families.
There ain't no draft, this isn't the Vietnam era. We have an all-volunteer army, and her son was doing his duty. She's dishonoring his name.
