Explain to me why Obama's celebrity support is considered by some DUers to be a liability when. . .
. . .others have celeb support as well?

Clinton: Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Amber Tamblin, Bradley Whitford, America Ferrara, Barbra Streisand, Steven Speilberg

McCain: Sylvester Stallone

Huckabee: Chuck Norris

So for those of you folks warning us about how Obama's Hollywood support will hurt him, how come it does not hurt the others. Is it folks just trying to create bullshit reasons for not supporting Obama.

4. Just meditate for a while with "swarms of Obama-bashers on DU" as your mantra and ...
the whole issue will become much clearer.

9. It's the grand scale of Oprah, the over the top announcements.
If it works for him great. Just be prepared for the uber-left wing celebrity support attack from the right. You guys may be peaking too fast for your own good with the Hollywood stuff. It's republican GOLD.
