Democratic National Committee: In response to news reports of a New Jersey woman, whose son was killed while serving in Iraq and who after attempting to ask First Lady Laura Bush a question at a campaign event was arrested, put in a police wagon, and taken to jail, Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe issued this statement:

"George W. Bush has cultivated a culture in which a grieving mother in New Jersey gets arrested for asking a question at a Bush campaign event. It’s the same culture that allows an Alabama woman to be fired for expressing her beliefs with a John Kerry bumper sticker on her car. You ask a question they don’t want to answer and they arrest you. You express a belief that they disagree with and you get fired."

3. Bu$h has cultivated a culture all right. The same social botulism

that was cultivated in the late 20's and 30's in Germany.

A lot of our "fellow Americans" have become little nazis.

God help the sane people in America if Bu$h is re-selected.

4. Oh, good one, Terry. For once.

Where the hell have you BEEN, btw?

(I was glad to see him on Blitzer a little earlier, but he sure does look smarmy to me, sorry to say.)
