"President Bush, you killed my son!"
Monday, August 01, 2005

BY KATIE WANG
Star-Ledger Staff

The firehall in Hamilton Township was alive with hundreds of giddy Republicans when Laura Bush stepped to the podium last September to deliver a campaign stump speech for her husband.

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."

2. Sue Niederer obviously hates America
Doesn't she realize it was her destiny to offer up her only son as cannon fodder for Bush's glorious quest to outdo his father?
