1. If they charge her with a crime, she will need

help with her legal defense...

[Jack Rabbit]

2. OK, that, too

We should not hesitate to show our support.

The Bush regime is the enemy; torture and secrecy will not be tolerated by us, the American people.

[dogday]

3. Absolutely, I think she is a hero

and deserves our support... I have a feeling they may try to make an example of her....

[Sydnie]

8. dogday ... you and I think a good deal alike sometimes

That was my first thought too. I hope someone steps forward to support her legally, and makes a damn good whistleblower case for her!

[dogday]

12. You know what they say

Great mind think alike!!! :hi:

[dogday]

13. kicking for a hero....nt

[BrklynLiberal]

4. Kicked and recommended !

[Jack Rabbit]

5. Thank you.

Please keep this kicked.

n/t

[cascadiance]

7. Send her over to the NSWBC!

Have their resources help her out!

[Jack Rabbit]

9. They're probably already in communcation

Keep kicked.

:bounce:

10. I'd really like more information about this...

I'm not sure if I'm ready to throw my support behind someone who wasn't supposed to leak classified information.

I want to hear her side of it before making a decision.

Flame away :)

[Jack Rabbit]

14. Being 54 years old and recalling the Vietnam War . . .

I would suppose her side of the story will sound an awful lot like Daniel Ells berg's.

This lady, if guilty, is an American hero. She exposed the workings of Bush's secret network of gulags in Europe.

Yes, if she really did this, she should be tried and convicted and then given a parade.

It is sad that in Bush's America, the outlaws are the heroes; that is what often happens when the leaders are criminals.

[cynatnite]

18. That's my guess...

but I'd really like to hear what she has to say. I don't care to jump the gun with the little information we've been given so far.

[Faygo Kid]

24. My good fellow, 54 year old male. Shared memories, or what?

She is a hero, we agree. You sound bitter, though, and I do too, but I have really fought back recently. I think we can still prevail. Anyway, me September 1951 and my dear female other July 1951. And you? I was a charter member of the Huckleberry Hound Fan Club. And you?
And her shoes, were number 9.

[Jack Rabbit]

26. My dear Mr. Faygold

You are a few weeks older than I. I am a November baby.

I remember the 1960 presidential campaign when Huckleberry Hound was a candidate. You remember the Huckleberry Hound for President campaign, do you not?

[Faygo Kid]

27. I was a charter member of the Huck Hound fan club. But, here's my offer

Got the Huck Hound club, 1959 card (actually, gave it to my brother's incrdible collection of '50s toys and art, like Charles Schulz. It's incredible). Insured for much money.

11. Sad

Did she get money for giving reporter info?

If not then action is base on love of country and love for American people.
Me think people must now protect her back
Roses fine, but this need just more than roses
Very sad to see all this happening in US

[Jack Rabbit]

15. I doubt she got money for it

She probably was well aware of the risks she took.

According to the press acounts, she admited making the disclosure when contronted.

[KittyWampus]

17. It'd be highly unethical for a reporter to pay for information

[northofdenali]

32. Oversea, you are such a sweetheart.

If I'm gone for a few days, I think I miss your posts the most. :pals:

Yes, this needs more than just roses. But we here at DU can get it started - and then kick it to everyone we interact with.

We could have a defense fund set up in days. That's how this place works, and it still amazes me.

[KittyWampus]

16. Please include money for her to distribute roses after they arrive

After roses were sent to Helen Thomas, she sent them to the Vet hospital... probably at her own expense.

[northofdenali]

33. Agreed. We were able to help with a parking ticket and

parking costs - why not arrange (in advance) a delivery to the place of her choice? Be it hospital, nursing home, her folk's house - da nada - a few more bucks isn't a problem here.

Ditto defense fund. All money to it at first - and a few "extras" like a nice lunch or whatever.

DU can do it. I've seen nothing less than miracles here.

[dogday]

19. On Olbermann, they are discussing this

and they do believe that the administration will come down hard on her... She will need a legal defense fund big time.....

23. Count me in. A passion for the truth. Can we get this organized?

Who is organizing this? I will contribute $20 right now. Skinner, wherefore art thou?

[flyarm]

25. OK LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT..LEAK AN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY BY

our government and they do everything possible to find you...

but the pres and vp leak a cia operatives name..and get a free fucking ride??

i hate this admin..i hate them so much i feel sick all the time over what they have done to my nation!


i think we should spend our money on a defence lawyer for this lady!

flowers will not help her..they are about to make an example of her..and fry her...she is going to need money for the type of lawyers Libby has!

just my 2 cents...

fly

[w8liftinglady]

35. I agree-we need to kick it to the ACLU

[Jack Rabbit]

28. !!

OK, who will take the lead?

It looks like we have two suggestions here. Roses and legal fees.

Which do you think is better?

I'll vote for legal fees.

[Jack Rabbit]

29. TTT

30. bush not only getting patriot kill in Iraq

He is hunting them down and destroying them in US.

Then I always see the small plane joke

Have to ask myself.... why all this fear of your own goverments

Also Andy case .... so very sick

Who in charge .... the good American people or a bunch of loonies crook.

[northofdenali]

31. First, where should our support (roses, money, etc.) be delivered?

We were able to get Helen Thomas' roses delivered to her office. Can anyone find out where a viable delivery address would be for Ms. McCarthy?

Second, organizing the purchase, etc. is the tough part. I suggest contacting helderheid, our Helen Hero, for knowledge and ways and means.

Third, regardless of what we decide to do, I'm in. Keep me on tap for all of it.

[Mnemosyne]

34. A legal defense fund is what she will need most.

* and co. will try to crucify this brave woman.

Mary McCarthy :toast:

[redacted]

36. YEAH! Roses for great Americans!
