**********************

HAMILTON, New Jersey (CNN) -- The mother of a soldier killed in Iraq was arrested Thursday after interrupting a campaign speech by first lady Laura Bush. As police hauled her away, she shouted, "Police brutality."

Wearing a T-shirt with the message "President Bush You Killed My Son," Sue Niederer of nearby Hopewell screamed questions at the first lady as the audience tried to drown her out by chanting, "Four more years! Four more years!"

She pressed on, refused to leave and eventually police removed her from the firehouse rally.

The first lady finished her speech, praising the administration's achievements in the war on terror and the economy.

So this lady had a ticket to the speech, but they still dragged her away in handcuffs. "Four more years! Four more years of arresting grieving mothers! FOUR MORE YEARS! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

4. Headline: Laura Bush arrests Gold Star Mother

Remember when the Right Wing media (Newsmax) ran the fictitious rumor that Hillary Clinton had refused to even meet with a group of Gold Star Mothers:


Senator Hillary Clinton Refused to Meet with A Group of Mothers Whose Children Have Been Killed In Military Combat-Fiction!

Summary of eRumor:
The Gold Star Mothers is a group of women whose sons or daughters have been killed in U.S. military combat. Some representatives of the group were in Washington, D.C. meeting with members of Congress, but the only one who refused to meet with them Was Senator Hillary Clinton, according to an article in the Internet site www.newsmax.com (5/26/2001).

The Truth:
There are conflicting reports about this, but the evidence seems to point to the fact that the Senator did not rebuff the Gold Star Mothers.

Well here is a true, confirmed instance of Laura Bush refusing to talk to or meet with a Gold Star Mother... where she had her handcuffed and arrested while the GSM was merely talking to reporters.

Keep this story alive!!!

This is another instance of Sen Lott glorifying Strom's 1948 run...something that the mainstream press seems content to ignore, but which deserves to be kept alive on the internet.
