Do you think politicians should use celebrities to promote their cause, be it winning elections or garnering support for their projects i.e. environmental issues, health care, etc? Yes, sure they should be able to use celebrities

No, the cause should have merit on its own and should not need celebrity lovers to follow what that celebrity thinks

Do you think the Dixie Chicks and other celebrities, like Ted Nugent are offside if they make remarks about their country's leader in a public forum?
Yes they are offside. Celebrities should not be voicing their opinions in public forums, such as concerts, talk shows, etc.
