Ava just renewed my faith in my fellow teenagers.

I just saw her interview, and how she was very calm and polite while the interviewer basically kept alternating between genuinely stupid questions and questions about age/deaththreats. I am proud to know that more of the future Generation will be politically active. Ava, you rock!

1. you should change your title to "AVA APPRECIATION THREAD"

I was just going to post the same thing.

I'm sooooo proud! :cry:

3. She was very impressive.

Very poised, very composed and clearly very intelligent - certainly more so than the interviewer toward whom she was, as you note, nevertheless very polite. I'm sure I couldn't have handled myself that well when I was fifteen. In fact, I'm not sure I could handle myself that well now, and it's been many years since I was fifteen.

To Ava! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

4. She seemed pretty comfortable on camera, didn't she?

A real natural that one! She certainly came across as more intelligent than that ridiculous interviewer. The "do you feel you're being exploited" question was a real WTF moment, wasn't it?

5. was this her bumped Scarbourough segment?

i tuned in last week to no avail, what was she on today.

To think of all the dumb shit I was doing at 15 ;)

6. No, this was on a different network (CNN)

The show was CNN Sunday Night. They showed several clips from her videos and then she was interviewed. I can only imagine someone will post a video of it here real soon.

If you're still up, the show is replayed at 4am CST

7. She was a class act

Compare her to the right wing Coulter shrew. And only 15. Yes for Ava!

[Libby2]

8. Yes!

Ava makes me so proud too.

I missed this on CNN.
