Too bad the 'kettles' are suspicious of someone who has a very long history of charity and is the family member of a Marine, all because she's of the same persuasion as family members of honorable and respected people in our current administration.
No necessary relevance regarding ALL your points:
1) Very long history of charity
2) Being the family member of a Marine
3)The implication that because Cheney's daughter is "gay," it has ANY bearing on the ideological bonifides of DeGeneres.
I know many liberals who donate to animals and medical charities; I have a very good friend whose wife is a hard-core lib, yet her brother is Spec-Ops.
Considering the woman's past, her motives and ideology is certainly suspect at the least, and warrants further cynicism until SOME kind of track record can be deduced. Providing ANY series of quotes supporting our troops might help your case.
Btw, were you at all "suspicicious" of Hitlery's Thanksgiving visit to the troops last year? Or did you coo, and say "Aaaw, she cares. She really cares..."
