McAuliffe: Gold Star Mother's Arrest Emblematic of Bush's Disrespect of the Military
Washington, D.C. – 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.

"This is not the way we treat anyone, and especially not the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice -– families who deserve our respect, our thanks, and our empathy. Unfortunately, this incident is emblematic of the way the President disrespects our military, our veterans, and their families. America can do better, and with John Kerry we will."

4. The RW started a vicious rumor about Sen. Hillary snubbing the GSM's

when in actuality they showed up without an appointment to see her. They posted on theier website that they didn't appreciate what was being done. Of course the RW didn't care because they got the lying rumor out that they wanted.
