Now that Cindy Sheehan has been discredited everywhere but in the farthest reaches of the lefty fever swamps, the Associated Press is anointing a new “peace mom”—but this one’s a “peace grandma:” Vt. Woman Is an Unlikely Peace Activist.
Meet the anti-war movement’s newest folk hero: 69-year-old Rosemarie Jackowski, whose arrest during an anti-war protest has made her a cause celebre.
A prosecutor’s plan to retry her for blocking traffic while protesting the Iraq war is turning the feisty 4-foot-10 inch former schoolteacher into a darling of the dove crowd.
Bloggers have rallied behind her, peace activists are deluging her with messages of support, and advocates have established a defense fund.
“She’s not a loony toon by any means,” said Andrew Schoerke, 73, a retired U.S. Navy captain who was arrested with her. “She’s a very down to earth, sensible, caring person with some very strong convictions.”
And once again the Associated Press is being dishonest to serve a left-wing agenda, because Grandma Moonbat is not an “unlikely peace activist” at all. She has a long history of involvement in “progressive” causes: Riehl World View: The AP ‘Is’ Lying Now.
