Was Cindy Sheehan the Gold Star Mom arrested during Pickle's rally?
Edited on Mon Aug-08-05 05:27 PM by LittleClarkie
Last summer, when Laura was speaking at a rally, there was a gold star mom who got arrested.

Was that Cindy, or is my mind playing tricks on me?

3. See the following link
The first lady was in the middle of her remarks about the war in Iraq when a loud, booming voice cut her off.

"If this war is so justified, why aren't your children serving?" barked Sue Niederer.

All eyes turned to Niederer, a stout, bespectacled woman who stood wearing her dead son's floppy Army camouflage hat and a white T-shirt stamped with his wedding day photo and the message, "President Bush, You Killed My Son."

The incident helped transform the real estate agent and high school substitute teacher from Mercer County into a leader for anti-war activists.

5. It was Sue Niederer of Mercer County, New Jersey
she was arrested at a Bush Brownshirt rally in Hamilton, New Jersey because she dared speak up and confront the Liaress-in-Chief.

A story was planted in the local right-wing rag the next day suggesting she was a little crazy...
