Yahoo! News - Woman Disrupts Laura Bush Speech in N.J.
Topic: Current Events 3:44 pm EDT, Sep 17, 2004

] 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.
]
] 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 loyalty to their leader.
