Cindy Sheehan is my hero. She is the hero of all Americans who make up the 62% of us who oppose this war. As an American exercising her right to free speech, she is a brave, passionate, living example of democracy, and she has the undeniable force and the moral authority of a grieving mother. Being a mother of three, I can't even imagine the depths of the grief she must feel having lost her son in this horrific war. But I can imagine that her grief and rage -- her demand for justice and action -- are a force that is unstoppable.

Obama's surge of celebrity backing turns the tables on the Clintons,
who have long enjoyed strong support from powerful Hollywood figures.
Clinton isn't without her share of Hollywood fans who are working to augment
her built-in name recognition ahead of Super Tuesday. Ted Danson, Mary
Steenburgen, Ron Howard, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Fran Drescher,
John Grisham and Magic Johnson have all campaigned on her behalf, helping
out with phone banks and making the occasional personal appearance. At
a Clinton rally in L.A. on Saturday, such boldface names as Sally Field,
Bradley Whitford and Christine Lahti were in attendance.

This rhetorical eruption came one day after Geffen—along with Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg, his partners in DreamWorks SKG—hosted a $2,300-per-person fundraiser for Obama at the Beverly Hilton, site of the glitzy Golden Globe Awards.
An all-star cast
Actors Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Morgan Freeman, and Christine Lahti also showed up. Singers Jackson Browne and the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines were there. And so were producers Norman Lear, Ron Howard, Lawrence Bender, producer of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth," and J.J. Abrams. The heads of several major studios also attended. Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington bought tickets but did not show up.
