Re: [PEN-L] [OT] free Cindy Sheehan!

[Dan Scanlan]

Seems to me that Cindy Sheehan's power is in the simplicity and clarity of her adamant question: "What is the noble cause my son died for?"  It's the same as Ghandi declaring, "I'm going to the sea for salt", or Rosa Parks' simple refusal to give up her seat. If the PR firm doesn't dilute her message/mission with euphemism, sports, show business and market phraseology or Democratic Party nesting-poo, but functions simply as a scheduler and message taker, things might be okay. Otherwise, the Cindy Sheehan experience is apt to be preempted by a chihuahua with a tail transplant. I say keep Cindy Sheehan unfettered.

I'm not necessarily against PR firms, but _Democratic Party_ consultants know how to turn even assets into liabilities. :-|  The last elections are proof of that.  Cindy, if you need a PR firm, hire a good old corporate hack who has no particular political agenda except to make money!
