"I've been blubbering for fifteen minutes."

I didn't cry all day, until this story appeared. This moved it from the realm of the anonymous to the personal, someone I admired had been killed. I found it striking but not surprising, that she inquired of her husband "what" should the pilot do?
To the entire Olson family and their friends...thank you for sharing Barbara with us. Blessings.

I guess we can take our sorrow for Barabara and multiply times 20k...then we will know the agony of this reprehensible act. God speed to all who perished and deepest sympathies to those who lost loved ones.

What I appreciated time after time was that you represented my thoughts so well. When you were misquoted or someone would bend your words, you wouldn't let them. You pounced and made sure there was no doubt what they were doing.

I will miss you. But I simply view this as good-bye until we meet again. You were one of the good one sweatheart.

Dear Mr. Olson,
I will miss your wife very deeply. When I heard of her death, I cried for half an hour before I could regain my composure to do my work. It was very hard for me to concentrate on my work in the second time of "historical infamy", and may you know Mr. Olson, I greive for you because you had a woman of conviction, truths, and a blessing to the hearts of those who yearned for truth.

Mr. Olson, may your heart mend in the days to come and may you also know that I believe in my heart that your wife is with her Father in Heaven, and rest assured that President Bush will find these criminals and that the full scale of punishment will be given, and now, may God bless you and your grieving family Mr. Olson! Amen

All you said is true, but when you saw her on TV, didn't you smile before she opened her mouth because you KNEW she was going to blast somebody you hated? ;-)

She was so bright, reasoned, and could show the proper amount of righteous indignation....
Before devastating you with the most precious dimpled smile on television.

My heart is broken and goes out to Ted and all who loved her.

Damn!

There have been so many wonderful tributes to Barbara on this thread. I always enjoyed watching her too. In the face of every adversary she would always conduct herself like a lady, where others behaved like fishwives so to speak. She was smart and had a wonderful smile. She fought for truth and justice to the very end. I will miss her very very much.My sympathy goes out to her husband and all her family and friends. Words are so insufficient at a time such as this.

"Bless her. She did not die in vain - the anti-American demons will pay a price."

They sure will cause we're going to give them hell to pay!

I'll always remember her and love her for it - she did something last Sunday that I've never heard any other t.v. talking head do....she told Bill Press that she wanted to know what Hillary Clinton is about, what she believes in - "....is she a Marxist?"

A tribute to this brave woman would be for all of us to keep asking, "Are you a Marxist, Hillary?"

We used to say, in Nam, when we lost somebody...All that was in him (her) is now in me, I now share the burden of his death and the burden of his (her) courage. I'll do this because I must. I must, because of my love for my friend, and the love of the vow I shared with him (her). It was a exponential thing. He dies and you pick up the rest, but you pick up his burden and carry your's as well.

I carry Barbara's burden and I'll try to interpret that intellect. But, there won't be Barbara, will there? Exponentially, there will only be those ideas that Barbara belived in.

Humm! Seems she'll always live through her intelligence and her ideals. Good Bye Barbara, I'll see you on the other side!

I think I have something in my eye. I'm tasting salt and water. I'll have wipe my face now.

Good bye sweetie! I'm having a salt water attack now.

The only reality is truth and Barbara's book "Hell to Pay" revealed it all.

Although she is now parted from here, she is still watching from above cause it is a holy war we are embattled with down here. The battle of good vs. evil.
