<font color=brown>Like I said, when you're a Kerry supporter, you don't get your sign torn up, you get thrown out by the SS and then arrested. So while your crocodile tears for the girl and her father were interesting, let's deal with realities.....please!<font color=black> ******************************************************* Mother of GI killed in Iraq arrested in 'chaotic' scene** Published in the Asbury Park Press 9/17/04 By SHARON WATERS STAFF WRITER The mother of a South Brunswick man killed in Iraq was arrested yesterday after interrupting a speech by first lady Laura Bush during a campaign event in a Hamilton firehouse. Sue Niederer wore a shirt with a photo of her son, Army Lt. Seth Dvorin, that read "President Bush You Killed My Son." Dvorin died in February, and Niederer said she asked the first lady why her daughters and the children of other politicians weren't serving in Iraq. "At that point, it became chaotic and I was pushed and shoved," said Niederer, of Hopewell. "They engulfed me. It wasn't plain, ordinary folks, but people in suits with earphones." The crowd chanted "Four more years" as Secret Service agents surrounded Niederer and escorted her outside. Once outside, Niederer said she was handcuffed and placed in a police van after trying to speak to reporters. She was charged with trespassing. "I had a ticket to get in," said Niederer, adding that Hamilton police kept her ticket as evidence. "I was in there legitimately." Niederer said she obtained a ticket by going to Republican campaign headquarters Tuesday, as a local newspaper had advised readers to do. She said some campaign workers recognized her as an outspoken anti-war activist, but still gave her a ticket. No one stopped Niederer when she checked in by name at yesterday's event. Before Niederer's outburst in the firehouse, some people standing near her commented on her shirt, expressing sympathy, Niederer said. After her shouted question, Niederer said at least one person spoke in her defense, saying, "She has a right to speak. She's a mother." A man standing near her noticed the Dvorin shirt and told her his son had served with the soldier in Iraq, Niederer said. Dvorin graduated in 1998 from South Brunswick High School. He was the son of East Brunswick resident Richard Dvorin, Niederer's ex-husband. Niederer has an Oct. 12 court date in Hamilton. app.com

"Democratic pollster Tom Kiley said: "There was a legitimate question as to whether the post-convention bounce for Bush was in fact a bounce, a temporary bounce or a longer-term trend. That question has been answered conclusively this week. And the structure of this race (is) what it had been for months. It is a very closely contested contest over what the voters want." The Bush camp portrayed the president as holding a small lead while advisers pointed out they always predicted a close race." Even the Bushies don't agree with your position. Maybe you should keep a pic of the Nile on your monitor! ;~) reuters.com
