Protesting Mother Arrested, Crowd Callous About Her Dead Son

External Link
September 17, 2004 3:58:01 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
From the Associated Press:
A woman wearing a T-shirt with the words "President Bush You Killed My Son" and a picture of a soldier killed in Iraq was detained Thursday after she interrupted a campaign speech by first lady Laura Bush.

As shouts of "Four More Years" subsided, Niederer, standing in the middle of a crowd of some 700, continued to shout about the killing of her son. Local police escorted her from the event, handcuffed her and put her in the back of a police van.
I think what I find really creepy about this was that the Bush supporters kept shouting "Four More Years" to drown out this poor woman. Laura Bush could have expressed her sympathy and said why the war had to be fought -- a common way to handle hecklers -- but instead she ignored the mother, and the crowd moved into a sort of mindless chant that replaces reason with unquestioning loyalty to their leader.

Yeah! Drag away those unpatriotic dissenters, they don't have any babies left to fight for us, so they're worthless anyway!

We are the Republicans. Lower your shields and surrender your children. Their biological distinctiveness will be used to furthur our Imperial Cause. Dissent will be crushed. Resistance is futile.

Problem is, this sort of protesting and taking away is done on both sides.
