However, the mother must be surprised that her little attempt to talk to Bush has mushroomed into a cause celeb. That, too, is the practice of partisans of all political stripes. They use whatever person or event that will support their cause. It's the national political pastime.

BBB, I am sure she is a bit surprised at the intensity of the attention. But come on, any intelligent person would have to know that when you camp out next to the PRESIDENT'S ranch, it will draw national attention. It is not exactly the same as someone camping out in front of my house to protest my poor lawn care skills.
And I agree they have attacked her motives. Those motives are fair game, just as the motives of republicans who called for Clinton's ouster years ago were fair game. That is my point. Nobody is attacking her for what she is doing, just attacking and questioning her motives. She has every right to camp out, protest, or whatever in front of Bush's ranch. But questioning her motives for doing so is not attacking her personally.
Of course, we may have different views as to what constitutes attacking her. Maybe you can give me an example of someone on this thread who has attacked her personally (not her motives).
