Yeah, she is. But she's also a grieving mother.
According to NPR this morning, she was wearing a tee shirt. Nothing was said about a banner.
If she really did try to unfurl a banner, there are different considerations in my mind, and she probably deserved to be removed from the hall. A tee shirt is something else.
The Bush folks are very touchy about any kind of negative demonstration. There is a court case here in Denver regarding two women who were thrown out of a Bush campaign appearance because of an anti-Bush bumper sticker on their car. I really do think there are potential First Amendment issues in last night's situation.
Again, according to NPR, she was removed from the hall, was arrested and then released.
Why the heck would the Texas Congressperson invite her in the first place. That's asking for trouble.
