NORTHAMPTON — Authorities dragged the short woman with white hair out of her congressman’s Springfield office while she protested the Iraq war. She spent a month in federal prison after painting “Thou shalt not kill’’ on missile tubes of nuclear submarines in Connecticut. She has been arrested nine times for trespassing at the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant.

This just proves that there is no cure for stupidity.

Good for the moonbat, she stood up for her beliefs as nutty as they are. I just pray that the Tea Party movement continues on for decades to come - we need it!!!

We have a democracy with political freedom.

If you don’t like the way things are, you can run for office, or support politicians who agree with you.

And if they don’t win? If they only get a few votes? I think I see this woman’s problem....

"One of Crowe’s enduring efforts is to shutter the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant, a 38-year-old facility that generates about a third of Vermont’s electricity."

Oh, goody.

"Crowe’s first arrest came in 1972 at Westover Air Force Base in Chicopee, where she and friends wore conical hats and read Vietnamese women’s poetry to protest the Vietnam War."

I'm sure Giap was deeply moved by this effort. /eye roll.

What a fool.

How sweet.

I wish I could live my life and never bother with looking back to see how things I did worked out. “she said hindsight is unhelpful”, and because of that, despite all her years, she’s been fighting for the wrong things her entire life and still doesn’t know it. Pathetic.

She’s just a pain in the a**. She’s tame compared to some of the freak shows you’ll see in that neck of the woods. It’s kind of like San Fransicko with trees.

Her liberalistic quote from The Book she’s otherwise never read or followed: “Thou shalt not kill”**

(** Excludes abortion mills)

I respect her tenacity and dedication to her ideals.
But...

When asked whether she has any regrets about supporting some regimes that have been responsible for bloodshed and where dissidents often spend years behind bars, she said hindsight is unhelpful and thinks, overall, she has taken the right positions.

There is a fine line between being dedicated and just being a knucklehead.

...I'm just sayin'...and NO...age does NOT bring wisdom. As I get older, everyday I see ample evidence that as the wisdom bus goes down the road a lot of my peers declined to accept a ride.

Habitual offender perhaps? Lock the moonbat away for life. Sounds like she likes prison life anyway.

Yep she protested and we left Vietnam and then how many people were killed by the communist? That is one little detail they like to leave out.

She says her views took root after the United States dropped nuclear bombs on Japan in World War II,

She obviously preferred the alternative; 1 million US troops and 5 million Japanese civilians killed in Operation Olympic, the invasion of Japan that would have taken until 1950 to complete.

She's a liberal old bag; nothing to celebrate.

>>> “Thou shalt not kill’’ on missile tubes of nuclear submarines in Connecticut”

“How did this moonbat get 1) inside a boomer sub, 2) inside the missile compartment? “

That caught my eye too. I have to assume they’re saying she put the sign on the missile tube deck hatch.

Otherwise we’d have seen an entire Gold crew court martial.
