Is it not possible that she was both "there of her own will" and "invited by a prominent liberal senator"? Who are you to say she was not just being a victim? She's an American -- why shouldn't she be at the state of the union address? If she's there to make a political statement, why is that a bad thing? What is wrong with a political statement?
Bah. This is typical. Someone raises questions about the war and instead of answering the questions the conservatives challenge the motivations of the questioner.

I don't know if she attacked the "points", but I do know she attacked those women. Suggesting someone is happy that their husband is dead is about as mean-spirited as you can get. Don't turn it around.
