    Wow calling me gay now to, real big of you. Come talk shit to my face you fucking pussy. You wouldn't have the balls to say it to my face. Just like all the other net tough guy pussies

    I didnt technically call you gay....you are a Met's fan, so it was a presumption....... So weird that you cant find a single thing clever to say or a single thing truthful or interesting in your opinions, so you challenge me to a fight? I read about guys like you on a few medical boards. The small penis really is painful, isnt it? I wish I was there to comfort you.......

    Everyone needs to calm down right now. Something about this Letterman/Palin feud is making everyone act like it's WWIII and they have to pick sides. It's not a big deal and we're to the point where we have people 'challenging' each other to a fight...

    Think of all the causes that are in desperate need of attention. How much energy do we have to waste on a late night talk show host whether you want him fired or to remain?

    I kinda like seeing Letterman's feet being held to the fire... I think the jokes were inappropriate... even for comedy there is a tasteful way to do it... laughs at any cost is not really funny to me... I think Conan does a good job of acknowledging when something goes overboard on his show... Letterman doesn't so much... just kinda endorses the joke as he tells it.

    I liked seeing some sincerity out of Letterman in his apology... but you can tell that he doesn't do it much... his audience couldn't even tell when he was trying to be sincere... they just kept laughing when he was trying to be serious for a minute.

    The selective outrage is stupid. Its amzing what the the conservatives spin machines can grab a hold of and turn into the biggest most important natiional incident ever!


    Top 10 Reasons Sarah Palin's Outrage is A Little Late...
    By Shannyn Moore

    (10) Last September, a skit on Saturday Night Live suggested incest in the Palin family. "What about the husband?" asked a mock Times reporter. "You know he's doing those daughters. I mean, come on. It's Alaska!" No outrage. Sarah Palin appeared on the show one month later in late October.

    (9) Days after the announcement of Bristol's pregnancy, Conan O'Brien joked, "It's true, John McCain's running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, has revealed that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. Palin said, 'We should never have introduced her to John Edwards.'" Where was the outrage? Was Conan promoting infidelity with an underage girl?

    (8 ) "Governor Palin announced over the weekend that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is five months pregnant. Oh, boy, you thought John Edwards was in trouble before, now he's really done it!" -Jay Leno

    (7) "All the Republicans are heaping praise on Governor Palin. Fred Thompson said, as an actor, he could see them making a movie about Sarah Palin and her family. Didn't they already make that movie? I think it was called 'Knocked Up!'"-Jay Leno

    (6) Craig Ferguson's skit of "Larry King vs Levi Johnston" asks about "kinky sex" with the drapes open. Craig Ferguson's honorary Alaska citizenship, granted by Governor Palin wasn't rescinded.

    (5) "According to expense reports, Sarah Palin charged the state of Alaska over $21,000 for her children to travel with her on official business. In fairness to Gov. Palin, when she leaves them home alone they get pregnant." - Seth Meyers (SNL) Sarah Palin was in a sketch with Seth a week earlier.

    (4) On October 8, 2008, Sarah Palin walked out on the ice with 6 year old Piper and 13 year old Willow, Conan O'Brien said, "Saturday night, Sarah Palin is going to drop the first puck at the Philadelphia Flyers' hockey game. Then Palin will spend the rest of the game trying to keep the hockey players out of her daughter's penalty box." Oh, yes he did. You get the outrage...but not a peep then. According to the new "logic", O'Brien was advocating for some sick stuff.

    (3) Rush Limbaugh, "Everyone knows the Clintons have a cat. Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is a White House dog?" And he puts up a picture of Chelsea Clinton. Chelsea Clinton is 13 years old. Rush also says, "In last year's campaign, the most prominent, articulate voice for standard run-of-the-mill good old-fashioned American conservatism was Sarah Palin." Calling a young woman a "dog" can't be helpful to her "self esteem."

    (2) "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno." John McCain, Palin's running mate. Should McCain apologize to every young woman in America?

    (1) Palin's friend, political defender and informer of the David Letterman comments, John Ziegler was fired from his radio show for using the "n word" on line and on air in 1997. In 2000, he was fired for spelling the n-word on the air. How much does that word affect the psychological health of the youth of America, regardless of their race? Now he is pimping his film about how mean the "liberal media" was to Palin.

    letterman was out of line

    he intimated that one of Palin's teenage daughters had sex with A-rod-its defamation of character-and borderline slander

    if he said that about my daughter......... :twisted: :twisted:

    but a sincere apology, and an acceptance thereof, should really end it

    The fact that Palin's first response was released through her PAC and not directly from
    her tells me all I need to know. This is just chapter two of the OUTRAGE over the false
    story that she was the real mother of Trig when she was first announced as a VP candidate.

    The conservatives vs. the mainstream media is a much easier battle to fight than the
    actual battle of ideas.

    Let's be honest here. The fact that her other daughter was pregnant and unmarried had a little to do with the inception of the joke. If Palin and her family presented themselves as a family who lives by strict morals, I'm sure the joke would never have been told. She made the choice to parade her pregnant daughter, and the doer-of-the-deed before national audiences during the Republican Convention and during the campaign. As it turned out, it was just a "backseat" romance.

    So don't act like Palin and her family are all above reproach and deserve any apology. They have presented themselves as though they're just a bunch of ignorant rednecks and that's what Letterman keyed on for the joke.

    HERE IS MY LETTER TO CBS


    I support David Letterman 100 percent. I am putting my foot down for this right wing fear campaign to make letterman look like an evil person. THe hypocrisy is outrageous and the lies and whining they are spreading is more than a way to quite one voice...THIS IS the right wing machine in action, and it is how they operate to silence all opposition....DO NOT LET ANY SIGN OF SHOW THAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPORTING DAVID 100 percent. They are animals....

    Please tell your sponsors that there is a huge campaign to support Dave and that the fans of Pearl Jam and other groups I belong to are joining together to purposefully buy more products from CBS/LAte Night advertisers.... We wont stand for this anti-american ignorance. Dave not only has a right to talk about Palin and the daughters she injected into the political spotlight for own benefit, but he has a right to weather this lunacy and fight against it. We stand with him........again, 100 percent!

    BEFORE you send this.... change "quite" to "quiet", which is what i assume you meant.... i strongly agree with your points, by the way....

    I wouldn't worry too much, only 15 protesters showed up. There were actually more media people covering the "protest" than people actually protesting. It appears as though most of us grown-ups have moved on. I do wish Palin would go away though. That's the only reason I'm disappointed with Letterman, he gave her a reason to shove herself in the spotlight again.

    I agree with you to a point
    but its national tv and teenage girls we are talking about here
    its a fine line, but if the daughters were older, say 21 or over, I would not feel that his comedy was out of line

    Before this thread gets locked for all the back and forth insults...

    One other thing that I find quite amusing from this whole thing is that the only advertiser to pull their commercials from the Late Show (at least when I read it a couple days ago) was a Hilton-owned chain of hotels.

    That's right, Hilton. The company whose namesake/offspring fucks on camera for anyone to see. The Palin jokes were just too much for them. But I guarantee you their little stupid-fuck worthless daughter will appear on the show the next time she has a new ass-smelling perfume for sale, or a new season of her BFF show.

    Oh, and let me guess who the billionaire Hilton corporation supported for Vice President last year....
