Seriously.

That worked out well, too, didn’t it?

It is about pointing out a double standard. I believe that yes, we would be just as vocal about a tasteless joke involving Pres. Obama’s kids.

out there in the masses. What I think it does do, if done effectively is make the Lefties think first before doing it. Waay back when I was young, dumb, and working for the unions, my mentor was an old-time trade unionist of the sort they don’t make any more. His directive, driven into all of us by his fists if necessary, was, “Before they do anything, make sure they have to think about what you’ll do about it.” Years later I used that same principle in representing the employer.

If every time one of these lefty smartasses thinks of opening his mouth, s/he has to think about consequences, they’ll open their mouths less frequently and more carefully. The key, of course, is that you have to effectively leave a mark on them. That fool on Fox this morning trying to hype the Fire Letterman rally in NY just rewards the Lettermans of the World; it gets him attention and ratings and all his cool friends just love his being attacked by a guy who obviously has more enthusiasm than skill or sense. We on the right really don’t have a lot of people with the advocacy skiills to go toe to toe on this stuff. First, it ain’t our style. Second, most on the right don’t like those of us whose style it is very much; I can make a room full of Republicans go quiet quicker than a room full of Democrats. Republicans don’t like controversy and don’t like people, especially other Republicans, who cause or are even involved in controversy. Until Republican leaders get over that, Republcans are going to be punching bags for the Left.

in the fiirst few paragraphs and skimmed the rest. I probably should not mention that, but let’s all be honest, many long posts give up 98 percent of the point in the beginning. And so know one goes after this honestly, i have now read the whole thing and my response won’t change an iota.

We are openly and I hope regularly pressuring Letterman not to change votes but to shame him. If we allow his dehumanizing Nazi tactics to go one without a response, then we are de facto endorsing them. You say it is ok to boycott him, but not to keep mentioning it. Why on earth is that? How does that make sense? A quiet boycott is not a boycott at all.

Sir, your comparison of what Letterman and others in the drive by media to fringe racist elements on the web does not hold water. The point we are trying to make is that it is not ok for it to be mainstream to dehumanize this woman and her kids. And if you think this is not hurting Letterman with a major element of our society you sir are mistaken. Most Americans are not into politics, they are into popular culture. We are fighting Letterman in that arena.

You ask if we would be upset if the mainstream media attacked Obama’s kids and wife. This is a supposition that would never happen, that is the point, it would never happen. It is only ok to attack conservatives; if they are conservative they are fair game, white, black, elderly, or minors. We plan on fighting this malignancy in our weakened culture, and no one is going to talk us out of it.

Baby Tess, and William Long, who’s deaths go largely unknown; or atomic detonations in North Korea and eventually Iran; the political intrigue overtaking Washington, with the government’s takeover of major industry, and its plan to claim another 1/5th of the entire economy through health care; the Green Wile of Globalist energy peddlers; the growing list of generally stupid decisions, like giving Letterman a show, O a working teleprompter, or Sotomayor another gavel. Can we vote on any of that?

These are some of the people, events and defining issues occurring today. We can’t vote on them. So let’s at least mention them in passing, keep them from being brushed aside.

n/t

In 2006, Rush Limbaugh criticized an ad Michael J. Fox cut for Claire McCaskill. It was, of course, immediately latched on to by the Democrats and their allies in the media as Rush attacking a sick man, and Jim Talent all of a sudden found himself having to answer for something Limbaugh said. He was hit below the waterline, and he lost.

And second, your question as to whether this is going to lead in a change of political philosophy ignores the fact that most of the so-called middle have no political philosophy. They go with the flow, they vote for the “nicer” guy, or the guy/gal their neighbor is voting for, they vote for the guy they think is getting a bum deal.

But ultimately, this is about teaching liberals that they can’t attack Conservatives with impunity and expect to get away with it with nary a scratch. In case you haven’t noticed, the rules are different when it comes to Republicans.

Liberal Democrat media figures don’t just go after Republican elected officials and candidates, they go after their families, including minor children.

The New York Times tried to harm John Roberts’ nomination to the SCOTUS by going after his kids’ adoption records. Jack Ryan, Obama’s original Senate opponent had his 10 year old child’s custody records unsealed against his and his ex-wife’s wishes by the Chicago Tribune.

The Press happily plastered pictures of the Bush twins all over broadcast and print. Bristol Palin was being stalked by paparazzi as she went to school last year during the campaign.

On the other hand, you probably have never heard of Al Gore’s son’s multiple DUIs. Or much in the Press about Joe Biden’s adult daughter’s video-taped cocaine habit.

One of the reasons why so many Republicans fail to live up to the principles they claim to hold, is the fact that they know this and they’re afraid. They know that their children’s school disciplinary records, their wife’s medical records, or their credit reports can easily find their way to the front page of the local paper and end up being the butt of jokes.

This has to stop.

David Letterman is just the beginning.

 To me, “consensus” seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects … There are still people in my party who believe in “consensus” politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors … I mean it.
      - Margaret Thatcher
NOTE: “consensus” = “Bipartisanship™”/”Centrism™”

Hoorah for us! The left loves victims and America loves the underdog. Regardless of Palin’s politics, most mad mothers and alpha male dads will jump to her defense,don’t think this will be forgotten. Dave is worried and the liberals just want the story to die. We should beat it like a drum till at least the end of this week.

Nancy Pelosi lied like a rug and the story died after she refused to comment,Dave is still talking about it,we must use it.
