Nut Job Wears T-Shirt - Gets Ejected from Laura Bush Speech
2004-09-16
Woman wearing 'President Bush You Killed My Son' T-Shirt disrupts first lady's rally
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.
"John Kerry - I don't like you 'cause you're gonna get me killed" - Hugh Hewitt
Police escorted Sue Niederer of Hopewell, N.J., from a rally at a firehouse after she demanded to know why her son, Army 1st Lt. Seth Dvorin, 24, was killed in Iraq. Dvorin died in February while trying to disarm a bomb.
Honorable fellow.
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. Secret Service and local police escorted her out of the event, handcuffed her and placed her in the back of a police van.
Grief-stricken doesn't excuse everything.
The first lady continued speaking, touting her husband's record on the economy, health care and the war on terror to those attending the rally in this suburban community of 90,000 people near Trenton.
Good idea- let it pass.
Mrs. Bush made several references to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks during her speech. She said that many in New Jersey, including some in neighborhoods near the firehouse, lost family members that day.
That's why it is good that the whacko was arrested. Out of respect to those other folks there. How many people did the rag'ead facists kill on 9/11?
"Too many people here had a loved one that went to work in New York that day," Bush said. "It's for our country, it's for our children, our grandchildren that we do the hard work of confronting terror."
Of course, the arrestee probably really wants to wear a burka
No, I think she's grieving for her son. But Ms. Niederer has been spending too much time with the Not in our Name folks...

#5  Right on folks. Doubt anyone twisted his arm just like no one twisted mine, we are all volunteers and take what comes with it. To say other wise is to be disingenuous. If I ever get kia'd my mom better never pull some dumb shit like this. This guy was a grown man, honor his memory by not making a spectacle of yourself Ms. Niederer.

#4  Why doesn't she get mad at the evil fucks who planted the bomb that killed her son?

#3   She's just plain disgusting and a disgrace. I can understand her anger over her son's death. She's lashing out in a sense of frustration, but to do it that way dishonors her son's service and sacrifice. She put her politics in front of her love of her son and THAT is what makes her disgusting. She could have accomplished the same thing by writing a letter to the President, but she had to be play the "Drama Queen" so she'd make the 5 o'clock news.

#2  My heart breaks for anyone that has lost a child. I have experienced this first hand and know all too well how it feels. But, Lt. Dvorin enlisted and chose to serve his county of his own free will. He was an adult who made an adult and informed choice. I'm sorry but rule #1 in combat is people die.

Zenster the other day posted re the parents in Russia suffering due to the deaths of their children. These children died simply because they went to school. Lt. Dvorin died working to stop killers like those responsible for the schoolkids deaths.

Sue Niederer will never forget her son's death but, she must suck it up and carry on. To do otherwise dishonors her son and his sacrifice.


Thanks Lt.

As if she was the ONLY one who lost a son.
