Ava, go ON with your bad self!

Ava Lowery, a 15-year-old blogger, has caught some flak (and by "flak," I mean death threats) for clips such as this one that are anti-war.

Her powerful images are striking, and even more so because she's 15 and because she's from the South. She's anti-war, but supports the troops. If even a 15 year old can wrap her head around the notion that the two are not mutually exclusive, then others can. I'm glad that CNN interviewed her, although the reporter's hardball-line of questioning is pretty hilarious to me, considering the girl is 15, godammit. I mean, one of the questions she asked her was:

"How did you even KNOW about the war?"

Um, hell-LO.

Oh, and how about the reporter's attempt at playa-hatin' on left-wing blogs (I'm assuming she's referring to YearlyKos) playing her clips and "using" her? WhatEVER.

Ava handled the reporter's questions very well. Girlfriend did me proud, and I don't even do media prep. Anyhoo.

I'd be curious to see if any of the pundits go after her and paint her as an unpatriotic, evil person who hates America ...
