Ava Lowery is a fifteen-year-old who lives in Alabama. She calls herself a peace activist, and for the past year, she\ufffds been producing her own short animations on her website, peacetakescourage.com. All in all, she\ufffds made about seventy of them, she says, and most of them oppose Bush and his Iraq War.

\ufffdI was just so mad about it,\ufffd she explains. \ufffdAnd the media are not showing the real images of the war, so I did a lot research and started my own website.\ufffd

She submitted one of her latest creations, \ufffdWWJD,\ufffd to the monthly \ufffdcontagious\ufffd contest that huffingtonpost.com is running. (It\ufffds an open contest that ranks the number of viewers for each submission.)
..........
she was unprepared for the viciousness of the negative feedback\ufffdespecially the ugly sexual slurs similar to those that Cindy Sheehan has faced. (If you can\ufffdt stand foul language, stop reading now.)

\ufffdIt\ufffds people like you who need to fucking die and get raped while your corpse rots in the sun,\ufffd said one e-mail Lowery shared with me. \ufffdFuck you, I would jack off on your parents if I could. If you don\ufffdt like the team, get out of the park. That means take ur small dick and get the fuck off of my homeland you faggot chocolate gulper.\ufffd

\ufffdYou are a TRAITOR to your country and should be executed for treason,\ufffd another one said. \ufffdAll you do is bitch about the US. If you hate it so much, why don\ufffdt you GET THE FUCK OUT.\ufffd

\ufffdWhy don\ufffdt you go masterbate [sic] to a pic of Sheehan and fuck off,\ufffd said a third.

\ufffdAre you a muslem [sic] terrorist?\ufffd asked another.

She says there was a threat against her that was circulating \ufffdon the conservative underground.\ufffd And she says she received one e-mail from someone who said, \ufffdContact me ASAP. It concerns a danger to your life.\ufffd

When her mom called the number, the person who answered denied any knowledge of the threat, Lowery says.

She adds: \ufffdI was really weirded out by it.\ufffd

WTF is wrong with these people?
