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 loyalty to their leader.
