I'd like to see a busload of entertainment industry types show up....
....in Crawford in support of Cindy! As long as it's something she would welcome?? Anyone agree? Why the hell not....let's see Rosie O'Donnell, Springsteen, yes, even Steisand, Sarandon and Robbins....the whole friggin' kit and kaboodle. The more Hollywood, the better....just piss the Fox types and the Dittoheads right the hell off!! Why back away from these creeps....shove your movie star /rock star progressivism right in their faces.....as in 'how do you like us now?'

Good idea?? Yes/no??? :shrug:

3. Why the hell not? People are more important than celebrity.

This vigil is about Cindy Sheehan, and all other mothers who have lost a child to this awful war. This vigil is not about a celebrity's opinion about this awful war.

If celebrities want to go and be there as just one more person supporting the cause, then that's super.

But having celebrities there simply because they're "lending" their celebrity aura to the cause will be embarassing.

....I don't know....but you know the spotlight would follow these people, for sure....and Rush and his ilk are already slagging Cindy anyway...I guess my point is, whatever it takes to shine the light on this story as intensely as possible for as long as possible. Lots and lots of bodies turning up down there, from all walks of life, would be great.

4. I'd prefer to see...
more military families show up. Rush and his ilk will have a field day with the "entertainment types" and many Americans would not object. I think they would, however, object to the "fat-ass drug addict" (compliments of Hackett) taking swipes at military families.

7. That would just make the message easier to besmirch. Cindy is
doing excellent. And the message of her & the Vets & others is loud & clear.
