David Letterman jokes about Alex Rodriguez raping Willow Palin. [UPDATED]

To prolonged laughter and applause from his audience.

The girl is fourteen, you disgusting pig.

See also Dan Riehl, Ace of Spades HQ, and I need to go take a shower.

[UPDATE]: See also Conservatives for Palin, Hot Air, Jim Treacher, Instapundit, Protein Wisdom (NSFW), Michelle Malkin, Gateway Pundit, and probably the rest of the right-blogosphere in the next few hours.  Because we are all done with this.

    Has been for at least a decade now.

    Hasn’t been funny in even longer time.

    I’m appalled that CBS just reupped this fossil for another 2 years. He should be put out to pasture.

  • DONTREADONME

    seroiusly when was he funny? BTW, does anyone even watch him anymore, late night really has not been funny since Johnny Carson and I am not that old.

  • JadedByPolitics

    I want Sarah Palin to start a REAL N.O.W. but I think I might check into how to go about starting a nonprofit that tell ALL women they don’t deserve this kind of HATE from anyone! Playboy last week with their 10 HATEFU*K Conservatives list….this is WAR these liberal men are pigs and if they are saying it about Conservatives they are saying it about ALL WOMEN!

    Who are NOW’s liberal friends Clinton who raped and used women his whole life, Obama who demeans women by calling them sweetie, Ted Kennedy who screwed one then killed her…..the list is legendary!

    This is FREEDOM? this is FEMINISM? to be USED AND DISREGARDED by PIGS because they are “liberals” they HATE women period….they HATE minorities period, they HATE Jews period they HATE because those groups allow them to HATE but they say it about Conservatives in public but they are saying it about liberals BEHIND THEIR BACKS!

    They are no better then Islamists they just want their women naked while they SHUT UP!

    If there is not pressure brought to bear on this ANIMAL calling for the RAPING of a 14 year old girl I will have NO RESPECT for anyone in the GOP EVER AGAIN! this is the LINE IN THE SAND….this is about RESPECT for human beings no matter their sex, their color, their age. This is the opening for the Republicans to call out the Democrats and their liberal followers on their HATE!!!!

  • bs

    He’s a bitter, unfunny leftist twit who just doesn’t know when to shut his piehole. He’s CBS’s answer these days to Keith Olbermann, but in a late-night talk show host costume. To this day I believe he’s bitter that he got passed over when Carson retired.

    Letterman: STFU and retire. Your time has come and gone.

  • DONTREADONME

    wow, all that yelling, slow down we do not want you to have a heart attack or throw a clot. We need you to stick around a while. :)

  • JadedByPolitics

    I would EXPECT him to fight these liberal HATER’S to his dying breath :-) this is a HILL worth dying on!

  • Slightly_Askew

    But I wouldn’t rate it up there with the Playboy piece. Watch the video. He’s obviously making a play on the whole Bristol pregnancy thing. I just figured Willow was the only one at the game is where Moe came to the conclusion that Letterman was not talking about Bristol. Is there more video I missed?

  • http://andrightlyso.com/ civil_truth

    Those at least were adults and public figures and the story appeared on a blog (I make this point only to make an unfavorable comparison with Letterman, not as mitigation for the Playboy author.)

    Here we have an adult on national TV joking about statuatory rape on a 14-year-old child who is only in the public eye because she is the daughter of a governor who had become the hatef–k taget of every liberal and Democrat in this country. And these liberals/Democrats won’t stop with Sarah but have decided to humiliate everyone in her family in a cowardly attempt to injure her further and to make her life such a living hell that she will give up. This is the thuggery and bullying tactics that have become the modus operandi of the new Democratic majority – with the threat of violence to follow.

    And the audience is hooping and hollaring in support. Is is like the “Two Minutes Hate” described in Orwell’s 1984. This makes my blood boil. What is our country coming to?

    And I suspect that no one in the media will protest Mr. Letterman’s actions because they are rightly afraid that any criticism will result in their being fired, as happened with those who protested the Playboy rape list.

    We are entering a reign of terror in the country. How long before our leaders and elite set up the guillotines in the Place de la R?volution to take care of political opponents once and for all?

  • furious

    …let them know that CBS’ late night line-up is no longer must-see TV for you and your family. Ask for the manager of the person answering the phone, or the PR department. Ask that person to forward your comments to their CBS Corporate affiliate liaison.

    Be nice, the person answering your call didn’t write Letterman’s material. And you may find out they agree with you.

    The local affiliates will listen, and if enough people do this, CBS Corporate may hear about it, too.

    It’s too bad. I’ve always liked Paul Schaefer (he was the keyboardist for Bill Murray’s Lounge Lizard on SNL, he’s got a great band, and he plays a great straight man. Maybe I’ll give ol’ Conan a listen and some Nielsen pts.

    I can not help but feel absolute disgust, of course this will be spun as he thought he was talking about Bristol none-the-less asinine, he is very very big 455H073! If you translated those number good on you, its appropriate.

  • Uma Richie

    to take an introductory Women’s Studies course at the local college. My goal would be to turn the whole class into true feminists (not slaves of the liberal male establishment) by the end of the semester.

    BTW, you and Janis, StephC, and Peg are a half-generation to a generation older than I am, and are all excellent role models. Thanks and 5s to you all.

  • DONTREADONME
  • JadedByPolitics

    are you telling me that your first response to my ANGER was it is only the 18 yr old daughter? and why does that make me so angry? LET US BE CLEAR it is not RIGHT for it to be a 14 or 18 or 54 or 80 year old to be made fun of and call for the RAPING OF PERIOD! and you think its just assinine if its Bristol…..somehow I think you and I are done with each other here….enjoy your life because I am not quite sure you know who you are!

  • JadedByPolitics

    I will look into a Women’s Studies course for the fall semester and do the same! I cannot tell you how BRILLIANT an idea that truly is….infiltrate and spread the truth!

  • DONTREADONME

    You want to see what I think of rape, then check out my comments about the following story http://www.redstate.com/pilgrim/2009/06/08/they-are-not-monsters/#comment-606

    Check out my comments, I hate rape, period and I would put a bullet through the head of someone if I ever heard someone yell rape. What crossed the balistic threshold for me is that this was about a 14 year old girl. Seriously, before you turn the anger on me think for a second, If my writing was unclear then it is my fault; however, if you misunderstood what was written you owe me an apology. Before you go off on me the next time, think for a second, Why the HELL would DTOM be OK with Rape, it does not fit his MO,.

  • furious

    …Grasshopper, as a rock channels the stream which flows around it.

  • JadedByPolitics

    http://www.wusa9.com/company/contact/default.aspx

    Press 6 for the General Manager and leave a message I left my phone number as well and I asked them at what time in any given day is it appropriate to call for the rape of any woman let alone a 14 year old girl! I also said I would keep calling everyday until someone returned my phone call to address this issue!

  • JadedByPolitics

    were blase about it PRIOR to the realization that it was the 14 year old. I do NOT want to go off on you I want to END THIS HATE OF WOMEN in the liberal/leftist/democrat portion of our society but if the 18 yr old did not enrage you as much as the 14 year old that is a problem….reread what you wrote and you will see what I am saying!

  • Doc Holliday

    Letterman and others in the MSM and Hollyweird are using Nazi tactics. They would repeat vile assaults on the Jews prior to WW2 so that people no longer saw them as human. Once you know longer see someone as human, attacks on them don’t seem like attacks on “regular people”.

    This horrible verbal abuse would never stand against someone else, other than Bush. But since people hear over and over these same attacks on Palin (as they did Bush), they become desensitized and are not as offended. It it is the repetition and lack of remorse that does it, people think if “everyone is doing it” it must be the right thing.

    It is time the few in Hollywood stand up, on camera and call this scum and his like out. I am not talking Jackie Mason on the net, I am talking someone like Eastwood in Letterman’s face. Until that happens, the Hollyweird will grow as an enemy; and they are kicking our collective asses.

    Making apologies for a man making statutory rape jokes?

    Moe Lane

    PS: In a heartbeat, and without a second thought. You *know* this about me.

  • izoneguy

    a gay man talked about raping his son??

  • DONTREADONME

    Again, you do not go around making accusations throwing peoples reputation because you misunderstood something, and if I did not think you got me wrong I would not be sitting here writing you.

    and yes, I care what you think and I do not take rape as blase, that is insulting, I can not tell you how pissed I am to be called out as BLASE about RAPE period. You really need to see my comments on rape from a thread the other night, because I believe you will find that I take a little more seriously than you give me credit for.

    BTW, when I wrote you to calm down, it was meant as we need you around here and do not utter asinine behavior of an a$$hole like David Letterman to put you in the hospital.

  • molybdanthan

    Makes it much easier to do the things they do.

  • Doc Holliday

    btw, don’t blow a gasket or something, we need you in the fight. I really am not sure how to fight back, the left owns the media. Ok, Fox has good ratings, but compare Fox to all other MSM including broadcast, Hollyweird, etc. And if you want to really feel but but see the problem, throw in the NEA and public schools.

    We can all get mad and protest, but they expect that. If we can’t bring the non political types in, we are going to have a hard time. It is time for some outside the box thinking. I will throw one out there off the top of my head. Why don’t we all get together and buy an tv spot attacking letterman and spelling out what he did. TV people are such hypocrites, I am sure NBC or ABC would bite.

  • jeffreywturner

    He used to be really funny and I enjoyed watching his show. Now he is just an old sour-puss.

    “Now that I realize he was talking about Willow Palin…

    DONTREADONME Tuesday, June 9th at 7:02PM EDT (link)
    I can not help but feel absolute disgust, of course this will be spun as he thought he was talking about Bristol none-the-less asinine”

    let me deconstruct “NOW that I realize he was talking about Willow” that means before you thought he was talking about Bristol right?

    “of course this will be spun as he thought he was talking about Bristol none-the-less asinine”

    He and his liberal friends will say he of course was talking about Bristol which is your own words is “none-the-less asinine? well NO DTOM it is just as disgusting and hateful no matter the woman or child…..if you cannot see what you wrote is a walkback on varying degrees of being disgusted then you are not being honest and I of course am not going to apologize for answering your words.

    Do I think you meant to diminish one over the other? After calming down NO however it is those slight variances that slip into thinking that creates levels of what is and is not acceptable.

  • izoneguy
  • JadedByPolitics

    how much would an ad buy be? I will be more than happy to donate to such an ad buy and I am quite sure the members of Sarah Palins ning would love to as well as all of her followers on twitter etc. If anyone get give us some help on these questions that would be GREAT! ACTION that is indeed what is needed!

  • http://andrightlyso.com/ civil_truth

    And it’s true, after 10 months of this unremitting attacking, it’s now come to this point where Bristol deserves to be raped in the perverted minds of TV hosts, and the audience of nice NY liberals who are oh so tolerant until it comes to prominent conservatives – they’ve become subhumans.

    You’re right, these are the tactics that every totalitarian regime has employed towards its political opponents as a warm-up to extermination camps.

  • JadedByPolitics

  • longwalker

    maybe we could get Zed from Day by Day to give Letterman a partial Karl. I had almost forgoten Letterman. Never watched his show but I seldom watched Carson or Leno either. I am not a night person. From what I remember of his show, he considered himself an intellectual’s comedian. Of course, he is very limited in knowledge and experience. He was one of those who still believes that Dan Quayle can’t spell potato and Dan Rather’s documents are real.

  • DONTREADONME

    I will not sit around here and let Jaded decide that I am somehow BLASE on the matter of rape. She is a redhot contributor, BTW and should know better than to do this to someone with accusations. Now that she can not retract her statements, I refuse to allow my reputation to be undermined in this fashion. I am a distinguished member of my community and a dedicated lead engineer for the USMC, so as my honor dictates I can not remain here.

    I gave her plenty of examples to see otherwise that she has me wrong, but I will not continue on a site where a regular contributor like herself can not admit when she has gotten someone wrong and that continuing to not acknowledge such a painting of a person is a way to lose people who have a great amount of information to share with the community.

    She has completely written a story about me that I can not stomach nor relate to. My comments on the matter are quite clear I take rape seriously.

    I can not stay around at Redstate any longer while watching her paint a story about me as being “blase” while I take the matter very DEATHLY seriously. The moderators at Redstate have my email address, and I would greatly appreciate if “someone” would express sorrow for painting me what amounts to as a racist or bigot.

    Lastly to Jaded, you decided that you would not read any other comments of mine on the topic of Rape neither on this board on are the link I provided, which tells me your hatred towards men has clouded your judgement, and since you want so greatly to make an enemy tonight, I will help you win since that is all you wanted. When you do things like this you alienate people and you do yourself no favors.

    So long, y’all, thanks to all that have been very nice to me during my stay.

    is the only Late Night I bother with (DVR it for later) and he even follows the mindless Liberal bent because he HAS TO with his boss being Letterman, but it is “tolerable” as his half-hearted jabs are those of “necessity” being part of the “Late Night” line-ups and that it is “expected” of him and his “need” to feel included in the bunch of Liberal moron crowd – “for his career.” I gave him a chance when he was first put on and enjoyed the show since.

    I would occasionally tune in :Leno if I would remember what night his “Headlines” thing is on.

    Other than that I had given up on all the Late Night unfunniness decades ago.

    DontLeaveOnUs.

    First of all, if you’re going to post on a political blog, you better have thick skin. People are going to bounce in and take all kinds of shots at you. Oh well. (Keeping in mind that I don’t have “thick” skin, I’m ALL skin.)

    People here have their little bloggyhorses. And when you cross one, you can expect to get pummeled. At that point, you have two choices, walk away because it’s not a big deal or lay waste to the one attempting to pummel you. The first will always work and it’s not like people have long memories about most stuff. The second will get you labeled a bully, but usually by people who can’t think rationally – and you have to pick your hill to fight on.

    The only time you should have concern about what you’re saying on any given subject is when Moe, Neil or TheBunny pop up. Moe did pop up, but not directed at you, it was the result of another commenter.

    Bottom line DROM, hang out. Don’t let the [fill in appropriate term here] chase you off.

  • penguin2
  • mbecker908

    in the OP, I think you’ll find that Gov Palin handled the matter in a very classy way. By comparison.

  • Doc Holliday

    someone here would probably know what it would cost. Even a short ad could do the trick. We would probably need to get the right blogosphere and other interest groups involved. Jaded, you should call the National Organization for Women for me…lol, nah, that probably wont work :)

    I am in too, anyone think this could happen? I have a feeling it would only go local, I would say DC or NYC would be the play. I prefer DC because it might wake someone up. Funny how the FCC went all crazy over and exposed breast, but I doubt they will do squat about this. Hey, another idea, let’s call Al Sharpton, he took down Imus, I am sure he is up for Letterman…er….ok, no more jokes.

  • Jack_Savage

    …for getting supremely pissed off about the way Sarah Palin and family have been treated, let me say this. The joke was sick, but it was not beyond what has been said about Bristol and Sarah before (sadly enough). The real issue is that the joke was about Willow, which I was slow to grasp and is beyond the pale by any standard, even the foul standards of the left.

    This was DTOM’s point, I believe. I believe he is on our team. I have also felt the rage Jaded has felt regading Palin’s treatment by the idiots on TV.

    The way to handle this is to shine a bright light on it, and stay on the same team.

  • The_Rebel

    But he was referring to DTOM, also.

  • DONTREADONME

    but there are some subjects that one must take a stand on, and I take the matter of rape seriously, and when someone belittles that point or fails to hear what you are saying then it may be time to move on where my expertise may be better appreciated. Mbecker, I think many around here are failing to see the gravity of the accusation and you know I am a civilian member of the Marine Corps, I have a sense of honor, and I do not slap women around nor will I ever let a woman be raped, never, and to assume I would take it any other way is a libel of my good name. and to assume that my showing of further outrage at pedophillia rape is somehow showing indifference to rape of a 17 year old is in of itself asinine.

    Yes, tough skin is important and I have dealt with the scum that stops by here once in a while, but in an effort to keep my dignity without resorting to the lower tactics, I must go. Besides, I probably should be working 24/7 on Marine Corps Weapon Systems and Non-Lethal and Force Protection issues rather than taking a break every night to come by hear and provide some light hearted comments and opine on subjects with in my expertise.

    BTW sometimes a person can hit a real nerve with certain statements we all have that one point and I think being called blase` on rape pretty much crossed that line. Yeah, I build weapons to kill my enemy but somehow I am blase on rape, no honor when someone makes that assessment. Not to mention being called out for a topic I was agreeing with her on. I just don’t get it. My wife looked at it and said what’s wrong with this woman, it is like she is blinded with rage and I got caught in the cross-fire.

    Heh, who knows y’all I might see you guys in August and I was hoping I would be able to swing some last minute arrangement to make it down there when I head down to Lejeune and Paris Island. You all have been good to me, even Jaded was great to me up until today.

  • JadedByPolitics

    for him to see what he himself was saying and he demanded an apology from me! I will NEVER apologize for using someone own words to make my response that is just silly. mbecker along with Achance as a tag team have beaten me up…did I run away? NO and OBTW I am no man HATER I have been with my husband for 23 years and married for 21 years with two grown son’s! I happen to think men are women’s best asset! together there is nothing that cannot be accomplished as a a team so that was definitely uncalled for…..so he whined and went away….to bad!

  • WarEagle01

    Except, oddly, Bill made it a “you make the call.” Is there any question, Bill? Seems pretty obvious to me that it qualified as a pinhead remark, seeing how it was a completely unfunny comment about child rape.

  • Slightly_Askew

    I’ll just back away after making two statements

    1) I would never defend rape, stat rape, molestation, or anyone who jokes about these things. My understanding of video was mistaken,and based on more information (such as confirmation of my WAG that Bristol was absent) I’ve since discovered, I do apologize. Reading my comment with the frame of mind I imagine you had (with more information than I), I don’t at all wonder about your warning.

    2) Still angry about the article as well as the fallout of the Playboy thing. It was sick, hateful, and attempts were made to cover it up. So far this is just sick. CBS has one chance to keep my eyes on their channel…don’t pull a Playboy/AOL and try to cover this up. Make him apologize or do it yourself as a network

  • http://moelane.com/ Moe Lane

  • mbecker908

    As was, frankly, the Top Ten thing he did. The thing I’ve “chided” folks for is getting all whacked out about Gov Palin being attacked for her politics. She’s gotta defend herself and if she can’t defend herself against the silly low level attacks now she’ll not survive two minutes in DC.

    This, and the TT thing aren’t politics. They’re intensely personal. And they’re wrong. And you’re right, shine a bright light on it. But let’s make sure the people who are manning the lights are pointing them in the right direction.

    I’m done with this thread now. It was counter productive from about the second or third comment and it’s gone steadily downhill from there. Time to stop digging. And, it’s too bad because Moe had a great diary. Check out Treacher and his comparison “jokes”.

    their competitors stations and it could be a quick 20 second ad showing this & playboys crap and a woman saying this is the party of women? or something like that…there is so much that could go into that ad in a short time that liberals have said about women let alone minorities etc. I just wish the GOP would jump on these things because liberals do that all the time but are just using these groups for an ends to their means but we cannot call out the digusting stuff on a national level that is being said daily, weekly, monthly, yearly about women because they are Conservative…..crazy world, very crazy world!

  • Doc Holliday

    I don’t think you were out of line, i think you both just got your lines crossed. No matter how insulting, cowardly, and vile, there is is a difference. Letterman never said “rape” he said “knocked up”. He could argue that “knocking up” an 18 year old could be consensual, hence, not rape.

    He was referring to Willow, so that would be rape. Don’t tread did not realize this and when he did, he got even more upset. I think Jaded was a bit harsh on the guy, but both need to just drop it and no one should quit.

    Hey Dontread, I have known Jaded longer and am risking a major rebuking by doing this. I was wronged tens times worse by another poster recently and exactly NO ONE came to my defense. I have been here a long time and still realize no one has my back in any given situation. You should rethink quitting, these things happen from time to time. You know most here are good folks, and Jaded is one of the best.

    and you are correct I was inflamed because it was a baby he was talking about but it wouldn’t have mattered either way because this whole HATE of women thing has reached such a decibel of evil on the left that I explode when I see it! I am most disgusted by the very blindness of women say from left of center who willfully refuse to see it. I am not talking about the Garafolo pigs they live for their ‘freedom” to be used and then spat upon it’s part of their make up,

    I am talking about those “Independent” women….where are their souls? their brains? their eyes? their ears? I cannot wrap my brain around it and am compelled to do something about it. Uma had a brilliant idea and if any women on this site can find a local college with a Women’s Studies course and can find the time what with work and family (we are conservatives after all and I mean us older women) WE should absolutely infiltrate…..there has to be more that can be done though and I am at a loss how to change it and that angers me more :-)

    It’s the Repubs in power that have no fight in them. Maybe it’s the vested interest thing, or who knows what. Only a handful are worth a damn. But none of them are suited to deal with this.

    From attacking Ms. California, to the Conservative women list, to this. An all out offensive on Conservative women. It’s the lowest low, thus far. But tomorrow’s another day.

  • Doc Holliday

    code duello for this. Todd can do what he wants to do, but I know what I would do. I would start with trashing Letterman and the media at every turn. No more BS about “snow machines” and “first dude”, I would get mad and get even.

  • Doc Holliday

    Youtube and downrate the video. I downrated it, I guess that is the play. The ratings on this video are on the level of public barfing, we should push it down even more.

  • Doc Holliday

    I have been a part of such efforts and have seen them work in record time on 2A issues. We had a paper (The Roanoke Times) that put up a searchable data base online so anyone could see who hand a concealed handgun permit and where they lived. this article and database was set up by a left wing carpet-bagger. This included women who were on the run from abusive spouses, and were outed by this asshole.

    We responded by contacting the advertisers and the database was taken down in less than 24 hours. http://www.ask.com/bar?q=roanoke+times++writer+handgun+permit+database&page=1&qsrc=2417&ab=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.roanoke.com%2Feditorials%2Ftrejbal%2Fwb%2Fwb%2Fxp-108160

    This coward that cared nothing about women in danger was such a chicken he called in a bomb squad when he got a package in the mail. The point is this, these people who have the power to write or say what they want expect us to sit on our hands and do nothing. They are very surprised when we fight back. I think this is the time to do so, anyone with a a good idea and action plan, I am in. BTW, the first thing we did with this Trejbal guy was spread it around the ‘net and then find and contact the advertisers,and pound them with email.

    my advice is to get the advertisers and local stations on a list and post it all over the right blogosphere with the plea for everyone to contact. The handgun permit issue I mentioned was much larger than what can be seen from the link provided. This guy Trejbal almost quit/got fired. The uproar could not bee underestimated. In fact, the local fishing and hunting columnist of that same paper trashed the whole thing. And they have blocked the comments list to that article I posted, it was in the thousands.

    If we are serious, we all need to act. find your local station, get their advertisers and email them tonight. That is how we did it. If nothing else, if this gets big enough, it will get on the news. The first thing, and the hardest thing, is to act.

    Marines, do not direct fire on friendlies (Jaded) either, we are good and we are moving forward. I am now just a civilian who works to deliver the USMC the best equipment, plus I usually am the dummy that tests the weapons before the Marines do, the Marine is more valuable then me, just in case if the weapon goes boom in my hand. Pinhead scientists like myself are needed in wartime too.

    BTW, thanks for understanding what I was trying to say, you nailed my thoughts in my comments upthread 100%.

    I think at times we become too focused on the well written piece. heck, I have the sheepskin, I have written enough papers. What I want more out of this site is for it to be a place of action, to post on actionable news so that we can be storm troopers in the fight for what is right. Others have different ideas, but that is what I am about. I am about action plans and making a difference, not about wonderful thesis papers to the like minded. There can be both, but for power we need to work as a team to act on our ideals.

    We need to post on all the right leaning sites. I know Ace (ace of spades hq) is always up for a fight. Heck I am been front paged a few times there, but never here :( . yet this is my home base.

    It will become News once it is on YouTube… What are they going to do? Press charges?!?!? How can they do that aft months and months of Lettermen and crew making jokes of the Shoe incident against Bush… As I’ve said, I don’t bother to watch, but we get bits and pieces from News segments (did following the No He SHOEdint Have incident) and how the Left fringe was all on about “Freedom of Expression!” How can they do anything to someone here doing the same “Expression of Opinion” via Shoe throw…. It is a Win no matter how it comes out… We will certainly have the laughs at the Lefts expense and watch them catch themselves in the Double Standard game we know they will attempt to spin themselves into. It would provide another opportunity, and we need to make use of each one, to demonstrate how loony the Left gets and use their words against them. There must be plenty of footage somewhere to exploit of Letterman following the Shoe thing. Let us FORCE him to demostrate how funny he thinks it is and how great an expression of “Opinion” it is when the Shoe flies his direction. So a couple people get thrown out of a Letterman taping – the point would be to have folks that would otherwise not want to suffer through a Letterman taping anyway (the Cell phone recorders will have to sacrafice and sit through it to not give away what they are/were there for and to see what else would transpire after that to report back to us all.

    There are more advertisers, but most are national and probably wont even care. The key is to pound and do it all at once, if the complaints trickle in, they will not even react. I have done this before, I have taken the time to make this list. All we need to do now is contact these people and say will will not use their products until letterman apologizes at the least. He did it again tonight mocking Palin.

  • Doc Holliday

    you don’t need my comments on the end, add yours at the beginning explaining why we must barrage these people. It is time for the rightroots to do as the nutroots do, but for a good cause. I don’t expect Letterman to be pulled, but he might shut up if we put up a fight.

    Jaded I think you missed the point. DTOM is justifiably more outraged after realizing it was about Palin’s 14 year old daughter than he was thinking it was the 18 year old (who already has a kid BTW).

    See if A-Rod had sex with the 18 year old it would not be rape. As Letterman made no allusions to forcible copulation, the title of the OP was referencing the term “rape” as statutory rape per the girls age.

    So I do believe raping a girl is more outrageous than simply having sex with one. If you cannot see the difference than perhaps you should change your name to JadedByLogic.

  • Doc Holliday

    on the ads. It takes a bit of work, they don’t often want to give out emails etc, they want you to fill out a form. If you get the company name you can search google for their email address.

    Talk like this just feeds the “wingnut” stereotype. Obviously letterman was way out of line, he has shown himself over the last few years to be viscous, unfunny, and irrelevant. This will be a story tomorrow and he no doubt will apologize, allowing the millions of people who do not watch him to realize how venomous he and the left have become. Even the most liberal Palin hating feminist would have to be put off by his comments.

    This is why his ratings have continued to slip and why many Americans like my self who were once fans have been turned off by his politics.

    If you want to bring yourself down to the same level as a fanatical lunatic who threw his shoes at the president to make a point be my guest, but what you fail to realize is that by doing so the story becomes more about how crazy you are than how wrong Letterman is.

    By the way by parodying the shoe thrower, in your story Letterman is Bush and you are the a**hole who threw the shoe, is that the kind of comparisons you would want drawn?

  • lyng

    Of course, each station will also have local sponsors that we need to contact to voice our outrage to. These businesses will probably be more responsive to the threat of losing of business from members of their local community.

    Do this. Of all the ideas I’ve seen on here, this is the one that will make you guys look best and drive as few moderates and independents away from you as possible.

    It’s the same tactic the Left uses when dealing with people like Rush Limbaugh that they disagree with. Take your viewership elsewhere and let them know why. It’s as effective a tool you can find that is inherently non-partisan.

    Excuse me if trying to inject some reason into the thread is construed as trolling.

  • Doc Holliday

    he is a troll trying to sew discord, nothing else. we are talking about joking about rape and he is worried about shoes. He is just trying to trip us up. The shoe is an insult in Islam, not here, it would be funny. The main point is we need to fight back, Letterman is attacking children who can not fight back. Ignore this flea canne, i am sorry if i am harsh, but three years+ here gives me the experience to see a troll. He has been here less than a month and is admonishing us, that is 90 percent proof right there.

    the admins may or may not ban him, i really don’t care. I already know I could do a better job, the world is the way it is, so be it.

    There are alot of irrate, outraged people (of all political and gender spectrums… well except the extreme left) on that site over DL’s comments. They have various good ideas on how to make DL, his sponsors and CBS pay for his comments. Watchfulraven even posted an example letter for those who would like to use a template to craft their own angry letters to our friends, family, CBS (local and national) and DL’s sponsors.

    Do we know if anyone has called NOW about this. When Elizabeth Hasselback called them about the Playboy article they issued a statement condemning Playboy. It certainly isn’t the same as the splash they would have made in the MSM had the article been about liberal women. But I guess my point is that it needs to be publically brought to their attention so that NOW is forced to comment on it. Preferably by Greta, Mrs. Hassleback, Ms. Kelly or any of the other female conservative news women.

    The other female politicans need to speak out against this as well. Gov, Senator, Rep… it doesn’t matter. All of them need to stand up and say these comments were inappropiate.

    And as much as I HATE facebook, if you have an account post a comment about your outrage on DL’s comments. It will show up on all of your friends pages and will spread the word to those who may not pay much attention to the news or DL.

  • http://cannedjam.com cannedjam

    the fact that I have been here only a month automatically makes me a troll? Should I back and write off everything you have said in you first month being here?

    If I am banned for suggesting that you cool your jets over orchestrating a felonious assault of a comedian then perhaps this is not the type of place I would like to hang out.

  • Doc Holliday

    if you are serious, sleep on it i will let it go. But if you are a conservative and not a buddhist or something, I think you need to explain yourself and stop the one liners. How would someone throwing a shoe near Letterman be an act of violence? The MSM does not allow civil disobedience. Letterman would not be injured in any way, but someone could show they are not one of the lemmings in his crowd.

    Sir, I am not hard to get along with. If you are having problems with me early on, it does not bode well for you. Our nation, our ideals are under attack. Conservative women are now treated by the MSM like Muslim women or worse. I don’t need a few comments from Ghandi, I am more in the Patton mood right now. If might be best for you to drop this and engage someone else that is is an Kum baye ya mood, because I am not.

  • molybdanthan

    Hello,

    I am contacting you regarding your sponsorship of The Late Show with David Letterman. On June 8, 2009, his offensive humor strayed into a realm beyond all reason. He intimated that a fourteen year old girl should be sexually violated. This comment is indefensible. Providing the funding for it is likewise indefensible. Your company should not be associated with Mr. Letterman.

    I would like you to immediately withdraw all ad revenue from this show until Mr. Letterman learns the error of his sick ways, and makes a formal and public apology to the family he offended, and the American viewing public.

    In case you forgot, Don Imus was speedily removed from television for a racist comment he made. That may still happen in this case. In a perfect world, Mr. Letterman would no longer be on the air one minute after making his joke. The girl he insulted is a minor. Your company should not support a man that ridicules children, or sexually objectifies one for a punchline.

    Actions have consequences. For the sake of the girl who was attacked, please do the right thing, and give your monetary support to a better person than David Letterman. Withhold your ads, and help him to see the light.

    Thank you,

  • lyng

    I understand your outrage and your frustration over conservatives being bashed in the media, and I am simply saying that talk like that (as justified as it may be) only gives them more ammunition. It takes the spot light off of what letterman said and puts it on you. The average level headed american will see through any liberal spin and see Letterman for what he is, an over the hill liberal a**hole supported by a complacent network.

  • http://cannedjam.com cannedjam

    and in this case I believe Lettermen will issue an apology, and unfortunately the issue will die.

    Palin has been attacked relentlessly along with her family in the MSM, but unless 50% of America cancels their cable and completely closes their wallets it wont stop, and I just don’t see that happening.

    This, however, should be a test of consistency, there are a lot of liberal feminist groups that hate Palin, but in the name of consistency if they are silent on these comments about having sex with her 14 year old daughter, that will speak louder than words. The average level headed middle of the road American will take notice to that.

  • http://cannedjam.com cannedjam

    his rating are dropping as it is, he is a legacy and the tiffany network will never get rid of him outside of his terms.

    The problem is 40% of America will not listen to our side, almost 100% of the media is composed of that 40%. No one can force anyone to listen, but they can be called out as hypocrites, that usually gets the ears of the 20% who are in the middle.

    If these remarks are not met with outrage by those same 40% (who supposedly “fight for women’s rights”) then they will be branded as hypocrites, and those with open eyes will the the situation for what it is.

  • TNJim

    I’ve been here a little over 3 months and I guarantee you I’m still “on probation”, so to speak. Why? Because I’ve seen people banned who have been registered a year or longer because their liberalism finally showed through. Oh, and if someone, especially at this time of night, named Moe or Neil asks for an apology or a clarification of the comment he is responding to, do so immediately.

    As far as Letterhead is concerned the fact he made such a joke at the expense of a child of a political figure is as reprehensible as they come. To cap it off, he further makes “jokes” about the Palin family by making a crack about Sarah in his Top Ten list by stating something about going to Bloomingdale’s to get a new wardrobe to change her “slutty fight attendant appearance”.

    So with all that, and more, that conservatives have had slung at them by the “tolerant Left” I don’t begrudge Doc and JLD their “fight fire with fire”, or shoes, tactics at all. We’ve been burned long enough.

    I am from Long Island, a once Republican strong hold. I only live in Manhattan because that is where my job is, and I am proud to say that as a result of my conservative values I am one of the few 26 year olds can say they own their own Manhattan apartment. My Conservative pedigree is quite strong, and simply because I dared to suggest the plotting of a ridiculous guerilla (perhaps in jest) attack on someone who said something you take offense to, is counter productive – then my bad.

    And if you are going to point out my typos by putting them in quotes, then you my friend will be a busy man.

    The average level headed middle of the road American will take notice to that.

    We can be HOPEful ;-) lol – can’t resist those bad puns
    yet they have remained in their slumber for decades (occasional exceptions)

    Yet that is the “fun” of the “Shoe” thing in yet another demonstration of Liberals breaking their backs bending over the other direction so fast as to retreat from where they were on the No He SHOEdint Have incident. It would indeed no longer be an issue of “Expression of Opinion” – which was the point that we all get and went on with other examples of the “double standard” that we would have thought some more folks would wake up from and didn’t/don’t.

    Liberals have offered so many examples of double standards and exposed their true nature and intent… unpunished!

    They have been, as of late, doing to all of the Nation’s children what this Diary and LM’s joke “suggests” with those children’s future… Financial future anyway… That may be pushing the envelope and bounds of “taste” but, of course, is certainly nowhere near the line LM crossed over. But since I’ve already pushed the absurdity point with the Shoe throwing (and yes, I still say I would laugh my hinny off if it did occur).

    We can and should be optimistic, but we have the same old enemy of the MSM to compete against rather than just Democrats.

    I know how it works, “how dare the guy with under 1000 posts speak up against the non n00bs”

    Guys trust me, (since it has been pointed out) as someone who lives in Manhattan I am exposed to this Liberal crap not just on my TV but with almost every person I run into. When Obama was elected I had to listen to car horns and screaming for two hours out my window, I get it, you are pissed off, so am I. I did not mean to be a stick in the mud, but I think we can all agree that consistency is important, and by talking about using tactics that the Liberal fringe uses, makes us not consistent and off base.

    That’s my only point, I believe most of you would agree. Being able to maintain composure is not a sign of a lack of outrage, and the assumption that I am not a conservative because I think banding together to throw shoes (or even talk about it at length) is a waste of time, is ridiculous.

    What is hidden in the discussion and part of what brought the silliness to mind was/is the sad but true situation that many are so consumed by online-ism they know nothing unless they see/hear it coming in the form of a link….

    Many of the incidents Molly mentioned are YouTube items and the “Youth” have this warped sense of that/those being “cool” or “hip” or whatever… They see that behavior and their mind does NOT go to where you expect them to… Quiz some of the Younger folks, though you gave your age and I would think you would understand even some of your peers being that way. It isn’t looked “down upon” it is something that stimulates a discussion amongst them and in that wierd case where if DL were to fall prey to that type of incident it would send a “shock” through the usual CW that surrounds them if suddenly something like that happened to DL and began that “questioning” (realization of the double standards) in their minds that we all are HOPEful for and never seem to see occur.

    But I could not expect everyone to see/read in that subtext to the absurdity that made that pop up in my mind when I saw Molly say something about a shoe that sent us off on this tangent. It is relevant to some part, as it demostrates the what is acceptable humor today and what “crosses the line” in different generations.

    If that helps any!?!?

    An absurd event, like DL being hit by a shoe seen on YouTube, would get through to some (as sad as it is) where-as so many other things might not awaken them from their double-standards slumber. Again, as if it were to ever happen.

  • http://cannedjam.com cannedjam

    actually I assumed since it was in quotes that you were referencing a typo of mine (since I am so inclined), but after not being able to find any such typo on my part I subsequently realized their was no intent on your part. But if there was you would be a busy man.

  • http://cannedjam.com cannedjam

    however, as someone who is relatively young, I disagree with your premiss. I like to read and occasionally comment on conservative sites because it is somewhat cathartic for me. I do not know your age but I assume that you have many more conservative contemporaries than I. That compounded with my geographic location leaves me somewhat ideologically isolated. However, the exposure to my peers has shown me one thing, they are morons for the most part, and as tempting as it is to try to appeal to them by using the tactics that get their attention, it would not work.

    Liberals, and especially youthful liberals, lack the ability to discern nuance, they would not perceive such an event as a concerted effort to shed light on their own tactics. They would simply see it as some lunatic Republican who has resorted to throwing a shoe because they cannot effectively get their point out in any other way (even though this is their own MO).

    And this is why I took exception (although the thought of hitting him with a shoe does appeal to me) to the discussion, because I feel it appeals to a false logic that many on the other side of our political spectrum fall victim to, and perhaps we should be above the fray.

    I believe a bigger “shock” to liberals would be to use cemented logic and a consistent approach of refusing to stoop to their level. As we all know, they cannot win with logic, that is why they use circus tactics, we however, have logic on our side and should have no need for a side show.

    Also, I enjoy a good argument, and I take offense to some calling for me to be banned simply because I proposed a contrarian view (no matter how n00bish I may be). I feel the back and forth of a sustained argument is healthy and helps us evaluate our own positions, there is nothing wrong with that, and it should be encouraged, not stifled.

    I truly am a conservative and surprisingly not an ass, if I continue to hang out here I am assured you will all come to like me.

  • http://www.ssce.net/Web-Articles/Web-articles-indexed-authors.html#authors-l JLenardDetroit

    It was in quotes because you said you were from Manhattan (here), but then you said you thought I was jabbing (not quite that way) at you which then landed up convincing “me” that you did spell it wrong also…. Nope…. from coming from your comments back to where I was responding… The “typo” was/is solely my own.

    I still think it would be “funny” (from the turnabout standpoint) and the YouTube generations that don’t know/think about anything unless they see it on YouTube might awaken. Let me dream …. er…. “HOPE” …. he he

    the “Early today show” (yeah who knew that even existed?) just did a story suggesting that Palin is looking for a double standard when it comes to late night comedians poking fun of her, then rehashed Letterman’s wardrobe joke, making no mention to the fact that he also suggested that A-Rod raped her daughter.

    Good job Early Today Show, way to get to the bottom of the story!

    Letterman et al are too gutless to go after Obama, so this is what is left for them. The are cowards, pure and simple, and need to be treated as such. I will expand on this on your diary, and will see you there.

    I’ve never started up a non-profit, but I know a bit about working in one, and I’d definitely be willing to help. This sort of stuff is ridiculous, and it’s not limited to celebrities and TV shows either. My husband was at a baseball game a couple of weeks ago, and the guy behind him was comfortable enough talking openly about fantasizing about a 12-year-old there. It’s absolutely disgusting!

    Letterman thought it funny to cast Willow as the butt of a joke involving statuatory rape. There is no way around that with a fourteen year old.

    Most of us have just stopped watching the networks, because they have been putting out trash for 20yrs. and getting away with it.

    I sent an e-mail via lyng link and Moe Lane had one on his site via one of his commenters that goes to comments on their shows.

    Pointed out that the Letterman show is part of the Brand of CBS… Allowing him to advocate such vileness taints their brand. Also, noted that we were notifying CBS sponsors that they may want to put their advertising dollars elsewhere, because my money was going to go to their competitors.

    Here is the note I am sending to our local CBS affiliate. If you live in a state with strong sex-offender laws and have a local CBS affiliate that has sex offender updates practically every newscast, please feel free to copy and send to your own affiliated station. Just change the name of the state.
    ______________

    Are you aware that your station is actively promoting child sexual abuse?

    That?s correct. David Letterman?s not-funny jokes about Governor Sarah Palin?s 15-year-old daughter being raped at Yankee Stadium ? yes, that?s right ? raped! That is what the state of Florida calls sex with a 15-year-old child.

    Please consider the mixed-message that your station is sending to the community. Or do you consider it appropriate to suggest that the rape of some children is humorous?

    Your news department routinely alerts the community to sex crimes involving adults and teens, crimes that by law mean the adult will remain of Florida?s sex offender registry for the rest of his/her life. The state of Florida takes this issue very seriously. We do not believe that your station should send mixed messages on this issue by approving of programming that makes light of child sexual abuse.

    The letter needs to be short ? and very blunt ? to get the message across. Perhaps something along these lines might work?

    Dear (Advertiser):

    I am shocked to learn that your company supports the rape of young girls.

    As an advertiser on the David Letterman show, you endorse his point of view; June 8th 2009 he ?joked? that a female Governor of the United States is ?slutty? and ?joked? about her 14 year-old daughter being raped by an adult male baseball player.

    I refuse to buy products from a company who supports such a vulgar, reprehensible attitude toward woman. As a result, I am emailing a copy of this letter to as many of my female friends, family, neighbors and co-workers as possible, calling for a national boycott of every single one of your products.

    Shame on you.

  • FJG

    Last night he made a joke about Willow Palin and former NY Gov. Spitzer. He implied that a 14 year old girl was a prostitute. “Joking” that it was hard keeping Spitzer away from Willow. The link below has the video of the comments.

    http://www.conservatives4palin.com/

    Obviously this man won’t apologize unless the network makes him. Which means we have to hit them in the pocketbook. Writing the sponsors and local affiliates is the best way to do this.

  • http://www.skiloveland.com skicougar

    Oh man, i hope so. interview with ziegler, she said she’s been called slutty and was okay with it, so it must be true.

    man, she’s a hottie, apparently easy and doesn’t care about her reputation.

    maybe instead of emailing CBS, i’ll email her and see if she’s available since all of us white guys are just womanizers and bigots anyways.

    (please note heavy sarcasm in entire post).
