In the mainstream popular culture, it's been open season on Sarah Palin since last fall's campaign. It's an interesting question why the assault on Governor Palin continues, but, for whatever reason, she has been subjected to more abuse--frequently obscene--than any public figure in memory. Left-winger David Letterman mocked her on his late night show on CBS, referring among other things to her "slutty flight attendant look." It is hard to imagine such sexist vituperation being heaped on any other American politician:
Not content with that high-class humor, Letterman added a "joke" about 14-year-old Willow Palin being "knocked up by Alex Rodriguez" during a Yankees game:
What a creep! Over the years, I've watched a total of perhaps an hour of Letterman's show; I don't think I've ever seen him say anything funny. But he is not alone in the belief that where Governor Palin and her family are concerned, anything goes.
Malia Obama will turn fourteen during her father's term in office. What do you think the chances are that Letterman (or anyone else) will make obscene jokes about her on network television?

Then he continues by joking about her daughter being knocked up :

CBS fired Imus for saying far less.
Dave has been lower than Dog Doo for some time now.
Hate speech, sexist perv BUMP
Now to be fair... Letterman is gonna make fun of the Obamas... /s
Where is NOW on this one?

It doesn’t take a teleprompter to tell me that Sarah is being dressed to take on Buttcrack, so the lefties are getting their jabs in early.

Heed these words David Letterman: NOT. ON. OUR. WATCH.
Great Merciful Zeus, you will not get away with calling a sitting Governor “a slutty flight attendant”.
You will not get away with making jokes about a sitting Governor’s teenage daughter — or ANYONE’S daughter, for that matter — being raped by baseball players in New York.
You are a vile, disgusting, perverse, leftist of the worst order, David Letterman, on a show that stopped being funny back when we were in high school 15 years ago.
It is our determined goal to use the platform we have here to encourage everyone who reads this to stand up to David Letterman and CBS in the days ahead so they get the message that the misogynistic and sexist attacks leveled against women like Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton will no longer be tolerated.
Regardless of what you think about Palin personally — we implore you to consider this: even if you are someone who comes here and does not support the Guv like we do, you need to realize that until we can mobilize men and women alike to scream MISOGYNIST! and SEEEEXXXXXXIST! with the same vigor and volume the black community marshals whenever it perceives RAAAACISM! anywhere, then we will never have a female president.
We were slow to mobilize in response to the attacks on Hillary Clinton in the primaries because, honestly, screaming and yelling and carrying on like harridans is not who we are. However, we learned VALUABLE lessons from the black community in 2008, and the sheer abject terror they hold the MSM in. The networks and newspapers are so terrified of being called RAAAAAACIST!, so bullied by threats of boycotts, that Al Sharpton so much as farts and the suits at CBS would be down on their knees looking for more beans to feed him.
Women on BOTH sides of the political aisle need to come running whenever ANY woman in politics is attacked by the likes of David Letterman.
Clinton supporters: you need to have Sarah Palin’s back.
Palin supporters: you need to have Hillary Clinton’s back.
We need to take care of each other. Someday, maybe we’ll be on opposite sides in the general election of the millennium, but to get there we need to do to the MSM what the black community has always been so effective at: we need to TERRORIZE those suits so sexism and misogyny scares them as much as accusations of RAAAAAACISM!
The only way to do that is through sponsors.
Get to work and figure out who advertises on Letterman.
Hey PUMAs, we’re talking to you.
Hey SarahPAC and Team Palin, you need to report for duty.
Here’s the plan: we get the names of all Letterman’s advertisers. Then, we start bombarding them with faxes and phone calls and letters. Boycotts of their products must be organized to send Letterman and CBS a message.
CBS is already hurting right now because of Katie Couric’s abysmal performance as anchor. The last thing they need right now is hundreds of thousands of people demanding David Letterman’s head.
Remember what Al Sharpton, John Lewis, James Clyburne, Spike Lee, and the rest of the race-baiters did to Don Imus for his nappy-headed remark?
What Letterman said is WORSE than that — yet he knows women will forever be divided by social issues on different camps across the political aisle, and will never mobilize the way the black community does under its race-baiters.
We need to join forces and hit back EVERY TIME someone like Letterman attacks a Palin or Clinton out there. If we keep that up, we can elect a female president in 2012 or 2016…Hillary or Sarah, Palin or Clinton.
But it won’t happen if we just sit on the couch angry at that over-paid, underperforming, gasbag on TV.
We need to work together and make some noise people.
Use this thread to start the ball rolling, and tell us what YOU are going to do to swat back at the vulgar fly hosting the Late Show.
Just imagine if instead of a slutty flight attendant joke, Letterman made cracks about watermelon and fried chicken, and instead of Palin’s daughter being raped by baseball players, he made the joke about Sasha or Malia. The black community would band together and have his cracker ass off the air by morning.
What will women — and the men who stand with them — do?
Letterman is an unfunny 64 year old perv, who obviously is thinking about 14 year old girls in a sexual way, and who thinks the rape of 14 year old girls is a joking matter.
Disgusting creep.
Leave a note on his facebook:

BTTT!
Only normal people call this hate speech. The media and the left think it’s just fine to slime families of normal politicians.
Long in the Tooth, David Letterman is boorish. His unhealthy/sick fixation on the Governor and her family is reminiscent of a stalker....what is his obsession really about?
Where is NOW on this one?”
I hope that A-Rod is doing some serious talking to a VERY GOOD lawyer.
He thinks he’s so cool. They look like the typical disfunctional NYC family. Can’t tell who’s the mommy and who’s the daddy. Poor kid.
If A-Rod is a man, he will speak out about this.
