2. To quote Rush: "Words mean things"
How many of these people, however, would have chanted had they known her story? Maybe all of them...

Wearing a T-shirt with the message "President Bush You Killed My Son," Sue Niederer of nearby Hopewell screamed questions at the first lady as the audience tried to drown her out by chanting, "Four more years! Four more years!"

3. People that read the story will draw
their own conclusions. I think its good they put it up on their frontpage, and in some ways I like the fact they picked that story to use some of their inflammatory language. Exposes CNN bias.

5. and the people who were chanting to cover her up
were just pleased as punch to volunteer her son for duty in Iraq without volunteering themselves. . .

I don't hate America. I hate Americans like that.

8. Wow...I may have a career as a psychic
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x831472#831514

See my post (from yesterday) which was in response to someone saying something like "This is awful...I hope it's all over the news."

Sometimes it's no fun being right. :(

12. I emailed them my outrage.
:grr:

A mother of a soldier who was killed in bush's illegal war is now called a HECKLER for voicing her outrage and asking legitimate questions? How DARE you! That mother has every right to ask questions of bush's wife. HER husband killed that woman's son. NOT ONLY THAT, she had a ticket to that event. She broke no law. SHAME, SHAME , SHAME on CNN (bush's stenographers) for calling that grieving mother a HECKLER...I am so disgusted with you people. Have you no compassion? That mother is not a heckler. She is the mother of a soldier who was killed in bush's illegal war and was asking questions that she deserves to have answered.

20. And you might add.
She is the mother of a soldier who was killed in bush's illegal war and was asking questions that she deserves to have answered.

Questions which the supine, bought and paid for whore media should be asking themselves but are carefully avoiding because they fear the consequences of embarrassing Idiot in Chief.

16. These women should organize
There have got to be so many of them, mothers of dead children angry and asking questions, getting no answers. An organization made up of mothers of dead soldiers would be a powerful force.

19. I just sent an e-mail, too. I feel SO sick, still.
I saw the horse-faced newsreader, Darren Kagen (sp.?) reading that vile nastiness around an hour ago on CNN. I had to do a double take when she did it. "Heckler?" I shouted out loud.

We're continually shown we really HAVEN'T seen everything. Christ.
We're supposed to meekly accept it as they turn every outlet into a 24/7/365 Republican News source, and double time on election years.
The fact it's immoral, underhanded, dirty doesn't seem to bother them at all.

Thanks for posting this thread. I hope CNN hears from citizens LOUD and CLEAR on their worst offending assaults on decency.

25. SICK MOTHER PUCKERS
I watched the video, saving it now. I plan to rant off about this and write a letter to the editor again. This whole thing has me seething. I am so pissed words can not describe my feeling when I saw what happend. (insert religion here) save the U.S.A. from the begginings of tyranny.

I want to :cry: for my country, but my eyes are dry. This time, I cry no more, I get active, I fight back, I revolt. Watch out neo-cons, WLKjr is going to give all of you a red ass ONE BY ONE, so bring it on!

27. I e-mailed and got 2 friends to do the same
my e-mail..

Calling the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq a 'heckler' is beyond disrespectful. I could not believe it when I saw the headline.

You need to change that headline and appologize.

At this point the only 2 shows I can stomache on CNN cable are Crossfire and Lou Dobbs.

Your on-line reporting is showing it's ugly 'liberal' bias (yeah, right). You are a Faux in sheep's clothing, and the costume is falling off.

Be ashamed.
