That is kind of a hypocritical question. Why are so many liberals getting the vapors over this? It seems that they are much louder and vocal about this.

I don't think almost any conservatives really care much about it. What is disappointing is how certain liberals are blindly defending Letterman like there is no way his statement could have been misunderstood.

She could have sat by and just ignored it like she did with all the past jokes, some of which were arguably in even worst taste than lettermans... But no..she didn't. She didn't because she is an attention whore trying to get free publicity to fuel her political goals.

She's an attention whore? Was she the one asking for all the attention AFTER the election? It was over and the media was still on her stuff. Maybe she just got tired of people beating on her family. I'm sure none of us would ever get upset with that.

Man, you guys really put a lot of emotion into this don't you?

Yeah, she could have let it go and nothing else would have been mentioned about this joke. She didn't because she wants the attention.

I've been getting this vibe as well. It seems there are more liberals using this as an excuse to attack conservatives than there are conservatives who actually care. They seem to be driving this story far more than conservatives. Over the course of this past week at work I've had to deal with almost ten people complaining about "Republicans" getting upset over the Letterman jokes. Not once did I hear a single Republican or conservative even mention it...

Obviously this is just my personal experience with this issue, but it seems the liberals are far more worked up about this than the conservatives. The biggest people complaining about this are feminist groups and a couple opportunistic politicians. But they seem to be severely overshadowed by the liberals using this as a reason to further attack Palin and conservatives.

Fire David Letterman

Gateway Pundit: New York Politician Calls on CBS to Fire Letterman-- Austin Businessman Files Complaint With FCC

In the letter to CBS chief Les Moonves, Kolb said he took Letterman to task for the "shockingly inappropriate" jokes.

“As the proud father of a daughter, and as a husband, I wanted Mr. Moonves to hear from me directly about Mr. Letterman’s disparaging remarks," Kolb said in a written statement.

“Firing Mr. Letterman would send a clear message that CBS will not tolerate any of its employees — even an established media figure like Mr. Letterman — making demeaning and degrading comments about women.”

Sarah Palin is not the only person outraged about David Letterman’s jabs at her family. After the CBS late-night talk show host made some off-color jokes about the former vice presidential candidate’s daughter Monday night, Austinite Russell Korman, owner of Russell Korman’s Fine Jewelry & Watches, decided to file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission.

“I really think it was intent to hurt a public figure by going through their children,” said Korman, who saw the jokes on Tuesday when they were rerun on cable news shows. “We didn’t do that, much, to the Bush kids and we didn’t do it much to Chelsea Clinton or Amy Carter, and we certainly shouldn’t do it to Sasha and Malia Obama. And we shouldn’t do it to a governor or senator or, really, anyone’s underage kids.”

Yep...ALL LIBERALS!!!!



You guys are pathetic. Liberals are just pointing out how far your panties are up your vaginas over this.

CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Letterman protest draws more media than activists - Blogs from CNN.com

NEW YORK (CNN) — A protest rally against David Letterman over a failed joke about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her daughter attracted more members of the media than protesters Tuesday afternoon.

A crowd of 15 protesters upset with the late night comic held signs and occasionally shouted as they stood across the street from Letterman's studio. But they were often hidden from view by the more than 35 members of the media there to cover the protest, and out-shouted by a few very vocal counter-protesters.

Radio talk show host John Ziegler — who is behind the FireDavidLetterman.com Web site that organized the protest, and who is an outspoken supporter of the former Republican vice presidential candidate — told reporters that the turnout at the event was not representative of the number of people who have responded to his site and e-mailed.
He also argued that Letterman should have been fired, and the only reasons that he hasn't been fired were "the media's love of David Letterman and the media's distrust and, I believe, hatred of Sarah Palin."
He also called Letterman's apology — issued on Monday's program and accepted by Palin — bogus and said that the comedian should make a charitable donation to an organization of Palin's choosing.

Ziegler made a film about the 2008 presidential campaign called "Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Targeted."

A website, one businessman of unknown political affiliation and a state assembly member?

Seriously? There's more evidence of liberals being upset just on this website alone. We can both link to websites of people being upset, but you can't prove they're Republican. A huge part of the movement against Letterman is the feminists. There's some Republicans, but the people who seem to be making the biggest deal over seem to be liberals from my experience.

You've got National Organization for Women, Feminist media supporting organizations, old Hillary Clinton staffers, Democrats for McCain, etc all involved in this movement against Letterman. Yet you pick out an unknown businessman a single state assembly person and a website supported by both ideologies as your evidence that it's the Republicans so pissed off over this?

If you want to go tit for tat we can. You made a claim that it was LIBERALS that were all upset about this. I showed you just two quick cases where it wasn't "just Liberals."


We can go through the exercise of bringing out our lists...but really...why waste the time? Just admit that once again you open your mouth with a pitifully incorrect broad generalization and mischaracterization of an issue...that you're wrong. Apologize to the members of this forum for your misinformation and we'll call it a day.


I doubt that will happen. You'll come out of your ass by claiming you're "bipartisan" and "deride both sides" yet you and I both know it's a farce.

Letterman should have never said what he said. He should be thrown off the air waves. I read here all the political posts about palin. If any of you had just a little respect for women or family values, you would see that lettermens wise cracks are not just directed to the Palin family but at all women and their families. I don't see how a democrat can think that they are so almighty, condoning attacks on inocent people. They seem to think it gets them points of something. All it does is slide them a little more in the hole. Face it , If lettermen said this same thing about your kids, you would do what.? Sick people side with sick people. Now hear this... The way hussain obama is setting up the government... When Sarah Palin Gets To Be President..... All you Palin haters better dig big holes and get as deep in them as you can. She is on her way to get ya. Oh! one other thing, Are all you democrats, so scared of Sarah Palin, that you have to slander her and her family so much? I know, you don't have anything else to do. You can't control your own party or the people in it so you have to beat up on Sarah. Your so called comander in chief is selling out your country. Setting all of us up for an attack. helping all his islam friends and letting you hold the bag. Maybe its time to sick letterman on hussain obamas family
