AP Manufactures Peace Granny
Over-the-top 69-year-old kookazoid Rosemarie Jackowski has won hearts among her fellow moonbats by getting arrested for blocking traffic during a peacenik protest (at least one ambulance on its way to the hospital was delayed). She crowned this accomplishment by refusing to plead guilty to a disorderly conduct charge, putting the courts to a lot of trouble and taxpayers to a lot of expense so that she could flip her gnarled middle finger at society. When a jury took only 15 minutes to convict her, she responded by appealing the verdict.
AP attempts to manufacture another Cindy Sheehan phenom out of Jackowski in a puff piece absurdly entitled "Vt. Woman Is an Unlikely Peace Activist." Here's AP overplaying the typical MSM tactic of broadcasting the opinions of nuts who just happen to agree with their views:
"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."
Actually, loony would be putting it mildly, as a cursory check of Jackowski's background reveals.
On her website, Jackowski describes herself as "an advocacy journalist living in Vermont" — i.e., a flaming moonbat. Here's a glimpse of her "down to earth, sensible" thoughts on nukes falling into the hands of the demented terrorist regime in Iran:
The United States owes reparations to the people of Iran. How much should be paid for the 1953 coup? How much is a democracy worth? Here’s a thought. Suppose the U.S. gave all of its nuclear weapons to Iran. Would that be a win, win, win scenario? The world would be safer because the only nation that had ever used nukes would no longer have any. The people of Iran would be compensated for the 1953 coup. The U.S. taxpayers would be spared a bill for reparations.
Other countries that are owed reparations by the USA according to Jackowski include Mexico, Cuba, Vietnam, Grenada, Nicaragua, Panama, Libya, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Oh, and we owe reparations to blacks, Indians, and Chagossians (I'd never heard of them either). Jackowski wants to impose a "reparations tax" to pay for it all.
Here's her take on some ravings by Ward "Little Eichmanns" Churchill that seem to endorse terrorism:
As I read and re-read it over and over, I came to the conclusion that it is one of the most powerful pleas for peace and justice in literature.
In another essay, she likens the faux Indian Churchill to Galileo. In still another, she demands "a maximum wage which would be helpful in controlling excessive consumption" and snivels:
I care about the countless numbers of immigrants who are struggling to cross the border only to find that they are then in a racist and hostile environment. [...] I care about all of the kids in US schools who [...] will never learn that their country is responsible for invasions, occupations, covert actions, and deaths all around the world.
Remember Jay Bennish, the Colorado geography teacher who subjected his students to extended rants on the evils of America? Jackowski believes he should be a candidate for a "The Teacher of the Year" award. She chastises the media because it "never seemed to get the point" of a book by William Blum that was endorsed by Osama bin Laden in one of his videos.
Jackowski wrote a letter of thanks to socialist thug Hugo Chavez for an anti-American propaganda stunt involving discount heating oil, in which certain Democratic politicians despicably participated.
Just last month, Jackowski ran for attorney general on the Liberty Union ticket. This party's platform is pure moonbattery, including gems like:
Everyone have socially productive and personally satisfying work available and a level of living which generates a real sense of security, even when society fails to find a use for anyone's efforts.
In other words, in their communist utopia, you do whatever you feel like doing and the government gives you lots of other people's money. Great deal, huh?
Needless to say, AP didn't bother to mention any of this, as it conflicts with their portrayal of Jackowski as an everyday grandmother thrown in jail by brutal warmongers.

I will listen to what she has to say when she proves to me that she has given everything, I mean EVERYTHING up that tyhe evilMaerican has given to her life:
Education
Security
Family
Opportunity
Wealth
Liberty
Give em all up, in other words GO MOVE TO CUBA BITCH and live like your fellow workers, let's say, a garbage collector.
Then maybe I will listen to you.

Yeah, isn't it funny how none of these America-hating leftists actually commit themselves to living under the system they advocate.
Then again, Vermont gets close to becoming a "worker's paradise" with each passing year.

Makes me wonder exactly how much of a lobotomy you have to have to become a moonbat.

Yes, there is Moonbattery and, then, there is Moonbattery with battery and malice aforethought. Take for instance pseudo-Colonel Michael D. Murphy, late of the Air Force JAG Corps?
You must be aware of his curriculum vitae?
___Graduate of the University of Texas Law School
___Disbarred in both Texas and Louisiana
___Commissioned into the Air Force JAG Corps
___Attained the rank of Colonel
___Assigned for two tours of duty to the White House as military counsel
___Between White House tours was chief legal officer in charge of distributing tens of billions of dollars in American aid in Iraq
___While in Iraq, distributed millions to buy the loyalty of “allies”
___Evaded detection of his fraudulent career for 23 years, despite the so-called vetting of various expensive security agencies
___Made himself a de facto target for recruitment by foreign intelligence services
Oh, did I mention that he had the ear of the President. Now, if you want to talk about an Iraq story, this is a story!
Like Ed Morrissey, you may choose to delete this comment. Feel free. But, “Colonel” Murphy and the MSM aren’t going away.
Until there is a thorough housecleaning, with the removal of a lot of Moonbat Pentagon brass, no plan formulated by Westhawk or anyone else will make a dime’s worth of difference to winning the war against Islamofascism. Those wounding us are not just Muslims, or disabled grannies from the Peoples Republic of Vermont.

Never ceases to amaze me how these moonbats
end up with such huge unchecked egos. I can only conclude that this narcissism must be the strongest evidence of satanic possession.
How utterly blind, ass-backwards and completely contrary can one get to all that is good and sane than has this demented witch? Even psychology can't explain this condition. Give all nuclear weapons to Iran? Reparations for the 1953 coup? With ludicrous blatterings such as these, this woman must masturbate all over herself constantly. How embarassing for her.

She is a proud one. The nose in the air ego of most moonbats comes from the relief they feel after unloading the guilt they create for themselves. It’s easy to make yourself feel successful when you set your own standards of accomplishment.

When I was a teenager, I used to read a lot of science fiction. A lot of science fiction deals with alternate realities/universes. You know the kind of stuff: what if Hitler had won World War II, what if the Vikings had settled America after discovering it, etc. The thing was, the alternate reality was always somewhere out there, beyond the stars or in another dimension.
I'm starting to think that the universes/realities actually overlap each other. Jackowski, Bennish, Churchill, etc., clearly live in a reality different from the one most of us live in. Moonbattery isn't a frame of mind, or a defect in character, its a place unto itself.

it's called appropriately "empty rhetoric" phil - like when my kids ask "what IF the moon really is made from swiss cheese?"
yeah son, now move along.
although i'm no expert - these people are sick. there are quite a few in my life and they have this strange forehead, vein-popping out thing going on whenever they speak...you'll know and recognize them by this trait.

Demanding reparations taxes be paid to blacks and Indians is one of the clearest signs you're dealing with a complete lunatic. Some of my ancestors include French Huguenots who centuries ago were tortured and executed for being Protestant at a time when Catholicism was the dominant religion in France (I now wear a beautiful Huguenot cross around my neck that my mother got me for my 17th birthday), but you don't see me demanding that I be paid reparations by French Catholics. I mean, of course, what happened to blacks and Indians in the past was hideous and despicable, and we are reminded of that fact quite often in our schools, but it was hundreds of years ago, can't we move on? Besides, how is throwing some money at them going to change what happened?
Oh, and if we gave our nukes to Iran, we might as well kiss the Israelis goodbye, since one of the first things the Iranian government will probably do with those nukes will be to turn the nation of Israel into a crater.

I too have Huguenot ancesters. You may be on to something, Adam, except that I don't think there are many Catholics left in France...either they've jumped on the Republic's secular bandwagon or they practice the Religion of Peace.
Not only could we kiss Israel goodbye, but ourselves. Do you think Iran wants to stop there? Besides, this woman's looney rantings seem to be for naught: Iran announced today that it has achieved the nuclear cycle. Whether or not it's true remains to be seen.
And yes, it's amazing how many of these people who advocate communism don't move to those communist utopias known as Cuba and North Korea. China might be a nice place too, for all I know.

Gazing upon the riveting countenance of Rosie Jaberwakie, it occurred to me that that curled finger on the chin was familiar. Oh, yes, I remember! It's the secret hand sign of the Iranian Hezbollock Transvestite brigade, a secret arm of the Muslbat underground.
Please don't let her tunnel toward the Left Coast. Things are bad enough here already!

She should live in Iran. That way she would be required to have her head covered, sparing the rest of the world having to look at her. Damn, it's painful. Can't Vermont pass a lefty law requiring bags over heads like that one?
Posted by: Jerry at December 20, 2006 3:12 PM
She looks as happy as if she were in her right mind.

People who make comments like hers make me wonder if they are really serious about what they say.
Sometimes I think they are so used to not being taken seriously that they don't think twice about outrageous ideas. But I wonder about that...if you could delve into her mind and see what she's really thinking, does she REALLY believe we should give our nukes to Iran, or is it just rhetoric, just attention getting lefty talk that she's used to spewing.
I wonder, if in some bizarro world, if she were suddenly given complete control of the U.S., would she really give our nukes to Iran? And does she really, honestly in her heart and mind believe that Iran would NOT use them? Or does she honestly believe Iran should have the right to nuke others?
Talk like hers makes me wonder where the left is coming from, and if they really take themselves seriously. Or is it that they have such a hatred for America that saying things like this is simply relieving pent up frustrations, like saying "Gilligan should be put up against a rock and shot, they'd have been off the island by now if it wasn't for him!" Except that they've been saying it for so long that they start to believe it, then teach it to their children and pupils, so that mindless rhetoric becomes the norm for them.
