Kerry hopes that celebrity supporters will keep things positive.

"But of course, we don't control them."

Recent examples:

-- At a John Kerry fundraiser July 8, Whoopi Goldberg delivered several crude puns on Bush's name. Complaints led to Goldberg's firing as a Slim-Fast spokeswoman and admonishments from both parties.

-- At a concert July 14, rocker Ozzy Osbourne sang 'War Pigs' while projecting an image of Bush with Adolf Hitler. After complaints, it was dropped from shows.

-- Hip-hop artist Jadakiss' hit 'Why' blames Bush for 9/11. He sings: "Why did Bush knock down the towers?" Some radio stations have edited out the line.

Even Linda Ronstadt's seemingly innocuous plea at her concert Saturday in Las Vegas to see the Bush-bashing movie 'Fahrenheit 9/11' angered some listeners and got her axed by the Aladdin Hotel/Casino.<snip>

IMCPO....We tried that once in 2002 (being positive). We lost BIG, HUGE in the mid-term election. Being "positive" got us nowhere then and I don't think being sweet and nice in THIS political climate, is a very good idea. Every Bush ad we see is negative. All the WH shills are negative. All of the media whores are negative toward the Dems. Being "positive" is NOT going to win this campaign. It didn't work in 2002. WHY will it work this time? I'm just curious. I feel like the party is bailing out on me again. We need to FIGHT BACK and Kerry needs to let these celebrities HELP him. Ignore what the damn repukes think/say. Who gives a shit?! I don't.
