Re Cindy and the Letterman show HELP

[az chela]

I just sent Cindy the post from here about letterman and O'reilly.
Told her that several of you said she should go on letterman and she said great.So can we all email the show and ask him to have her on???Any thoughts or suggestions???

[liberalnurse]

1. Cindy's PR people should

contact Dave.....

[LostinVA]

2. Yup -- she probably has PR/Manager, etc.

[GrumpyGreg]

5. I think that's the fact that bothers a lot of people.

[Karenina]

6. And indeed, why should that "bother" people?

Just Wondering. :shrug:

[GrumpyGreg]

8. Her grief and rage were,in the beginning, spontaneous and

certainly justified. As a mother and grandmother my heart went out to her.

As time went on it seemed to become more political and staged IMHO.

[Thtwudbeme]

10. "Staged and Political." Ummmmm kinda like the war

she is fighting against?

Whatya think?

[GrumpyGreg]

11. Yep---stooping to their level.

[Thtwudbeme]

12. Hoookayyyyyy so.....protesting the war in a way that YOU personally

don't find tasteful is as bad to you as starting a war that has killed many untold thousands of innocent people.

I am TRYING so hard to wrap my mind around your comments.

How in the world could one woman who holds no office with any power stoop to that level?

Please help me out here.

[GrumpyGreg]

13. I think we have to go back to the beginning of this thread.---

My comments were regarding PR people being involved,not the message that Ms Sheehan is giving.

Managers and PR people implies more "handling" ,again this is just my opinion,no more,no less.

14. Remember, Bush hired a PR firm to sell the war

15. Have you ever faced the public?

Have you done any public speaking, been on stage for a performance or engaged in repartee with a media-type+agenda? Have you ever been "on tour" in a sleeper bus travelling bumpy roads, what-time-zone-are-we-in? She is gathering worldwide support for asking the RIGHT QUESTION. WHAT is the "noble cause" for which her son died? Every person who joins her on that platform (as have MANY) adds weight to that central question.

YES, it's "political." The American people have yet to find the backbone to wrest political control from the death-dealing *predators who have seized your MIC and too many of your minds. TOO MANY terrific kids are dying in a dastardly corrupt plan of a few to control the resources rightfully "owned" by the many. Is this a "noble cause?" I ask you.

16. Where's my mitts, my fucking ear mitts

I got me ear mitt protectors on, man!

[LostinVA]

7. Why? She should have people like that

Anyone who is a famous or/and controversial public figure should -- plus, she needs someone to handle her speaking engagements, etc.

[NYCGirl]

9. I guess that this company reps her:

17. If that bothers you then you might be looking for a reason to be bothered.

Do you have any idea how many offers to speak, appear and interview she gets? Do you know what its like to be easily recognizable by the public at large?

Trust me anyone who is in the public for more than the proverbial 15 minutes needs a rep, if you dont you will be certain to make mistakes and regarding ending this war mistakes of that kind would be bad.

If this isn't sufficient enough for you then let me ask you to go lose a child in this illegal war and occupation, get divorced in the media spotlight, get swift boated, get death threats answer, all your own calls, email, mail, reinvigorate the peace movement almost single handedly, travel constantly all over the world, get yourself arrested in the name of peace and then at the end of the day find some time to mourn the reason why you started down this path... oh yeah and do it all on your own bill (i.e. the pittance you get paid for appearances). I think asking her not to have a rep just so she can appear more like you think she should appear is wholly lacking in empathy and compassion or maybe you just didn't think about this as much as you maybe should have.

In the end I say to you and everyone else who criticizes Cindy and the path that she has chosen for herself, that if you don't like it go out and do it yourself and see if you can do it better.

19. I hear that Michael Moore has bodyguards! and he's FAT!

puh-leeze. What is this crap? Cindy needs a PR manager just as any other public figure does.

And she probably needs bodyguards too.

[babylonsister]

3. I bet Dave would LOVE to interview Cindy, especially

after his indignation towards O'Lielly last night. Great idea!

[madokie]

4. That is the second good idea I've read today

[Karenina]

18. Best suggestion:

We all email the show and ask him to have her on!
