It is time for CBS to show David Letterman the door. Letterman, in the past few days has shown he is nothing but a nasty, vile,pervert, a misogynist, and a racist. There is no excuse for his actions, and there is nothing he can do to correct them.
On Monday night Letterman, in his “Top 10″, called the Governor of Alaska a “slut”. That is so over the top it is unbelievable, but then he did something even worse, he suggested the Governor’s teenage daughter was “knocked up” by Alex Rodriguez while the Governor, and her family attended the Yankees game as guests of former New York City Mayor, Rudy Giuliani.
This is the Governor’s 14 year old daughter we are talking about here!
Of course, the classless Letterman, after being called out by many, went even further Tuesday night, suggesting Governor Palin’s daughter, her 14 year old daughter, was a whore! Letterman joked about her and disgraced former democrat New York Governor, Elliot Spitzer, who is known to consort with prostitutes.
This is beyond the pale. It is sick, perverted, and totally unacceptable.
But where is the outrage from the usual suspects?
Where are the women of the National Organization of Women (NOW)? These are two females who are being slandered in the nastiest of ways.
Where is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, two folks who earn a living playing the race card?
Letterman’s attack was indeed racist. You see, Todd Palin is a Native America. A Yup’ik. So is his 14 year old daughter, Willow!
The Yup’ik, are a group of indigenous or aboriginal peoples of western, southwestern, and southcentral Alaska and the Russian Far East. They include the Central Alaskan Yup’ik people of the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta, the Kuskokwim River, and coastal Bristol Bay in Alaska; the Alutiiq (or Suqpiaq) of the Alaska Peninsula and coastal and island areas of southcentral Alaska; and the Siberian Yupik of the Russian Far East and St. Lawrence Island in western Alaska. They are Eskimo and are related to the Inuit.
Where are the usual groups that stand up to racists now?
It wasn’t that long ago that radio host Don Imus was fired for calling a group of basketball players “nappy-headed hoes”. Not a nice comment, and definitely racist. But it is very mild when you compare it to the things David Letterman has said. Imus never talked raping these basketball players.
Again we are talking about a 14 year old girl here!
You know, one can only imagine the vitriol that we would see if Letterman had the guts to really be “edgy” and suggest this about one of Barack Obama’s two adorable little girls!
It would be WWIII!
And rightly so!
But it seems to be quite fine because Sarah Palin and her family are conservatives.
Well, it’s absolutely NOT OK for David Letterman, or any other pervert to talk about raping a 14 year old girl, or to call her a whore!
Letterman has made sexual references about Governor Palin in the past. They were tasteless at best. But Governor Palin is a grown woman, and can certainly defend herself. And she certainly has.
But for David Letterman to attack a 14 year old girl like this just cannot stand.
Of course, this is typical from the left these days. They go out of their way to destroy those who disagree with them.
Look at Miss California, Carrie Prejean. She has been attacked from the left over and over for her stance on gay marriage. Her stance, by the way is the same exact stance as that of the current President of the United States, Barack Obama! And Miss Prejean also shares the exact same feelings as the majority of the voters in her native California!
But again, since Prejean is a conservative, with traditional American values, she must be destroyed.
This past week, Playboy Magazine, in an online blog, published what was basically a rape fantasy piece targeting prominent and beautiful conservative women like Fox New’s Megyn Kelly and Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann.
The silence from the usual “women’s rights supporters” was deafening.
But again, as disgusting as all of this is, it is nothing compared to a sick man’s rant about the rape of a 14 year old Native American girl!
In all fairness, not all liberals are being silent on this. There is a great group over at HillBuzz.com. This is a group who supports Hillary Clinton, and since she has become a national figure, Sarah Palin. They are incredible group who stand up for what is right. They are organizing a boycott of advertisers to the Letterman show.
Conservatives 4 Palin has also called for similar action.
For the Palin family’s part, both Todd and Sarah have issued statements:
“Any ‘jokes’ about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too.”
- Todd Palin
“Concerning Letterman’s comments about my young daughter (and I doubt he’d ever dare make such comments about anyone else’s daughter): ‘Laughter incited by sexually-perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood/NY entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands - that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone’s daughter, contribute to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others.’”
- Governor Sarah Palin
Governor Palin had appeared on John Ziegler’s radio show on Tuesday, discussing the first Letterman attack on her and her daughter, and called Letterman “pathetic”, which was very generous in my opinion!
The Governor also pointed out the she was in New York City to raise money for autism research as well as for an assisted living facility. The day before Governor Palin had been in Auburn, NY at the Seward House celebrating the life of William Seward, the former U.S. Secretary of State, who negotiated the purchase of the Alaska territory from Russia. This coincides with Alaska’s 50th year of statehood celebration. Alaska became a state in 1959.
In Auburn she spoke to over 20,000 enthusiastic supporters.
Ziegler appeared on MSNBC today as a guest of Contessa Brewer’s. Incredibly, Brewer couldn’t seem to understand why Governor Palin wasn’t pleased that Letterman called her a “slut”!
Brewer went on to say it was “comedy” and that she had no problem with it. Or the fact Letterman voiced out his rape fantasy on the Governor’s 14 year old daughter and insinuated she was a whore.
Brewer quickly turned the interview into an attack on Governor Palin instead.
This seems to be par for the course for the Peacock brand though, as so-called comedian Chuck Nice” from “Best Week Ever” had this to say about Governor Palin on NBC’s Today Show:
“But Sarah Palin to the GOP, she is very much like herpes, she is not going away”.
Absolutely no one on the NBC Today Show set called Nice on this. In fact, NBC News chief legal analyst Dan Abrams went on to say: “That’s the advantage of being Chuck Nice. You can say that, and there’s no repercussions.”
This sort of behavior is totally unacceptable.
There is a lot of tension in America these days, especially when it comes to politics. And it is one thing to take someone head on over their policies. But the left in this country delight in destroying their enemies personally. They seemingly cannot discuss the issues in a coherent manner, so they come out with the nasty personal attacks.
David Letterman has a history of doing this. He is incredibly hostile to those who don’t share his view on things. But you know, that’s fine, no one has to watch him.
But this is different.
To call the sitting Governor of a state, a happily married woman, and mother of 5 children a “slut” is unacceptable.
To fantasize about the Governor’s 14 year old daughter’s rape and to call her a whore just cannot stand!
I don’t care what your politics are. In America we have a certain decency that sets us apart from other nations. We don’t take kindly to men who have rape fantasies about 14 year old girls.
It is time to let CBS know that David Letterman is done. He is no longer fit to remain on the air.
It is time to let CBS’ advertisers know the same.
Talking about the rape of a 14 year old girl just doesn’t work in America!
Call CBS at 212-975-4321
C4P and Hillbuzz both have contact information for advertisers.
What is the point? If they get rid of Letterman they’ll just replace him with somebody just as sleazy but younger.
Imus got canned for this type of stuff. Now it should be Letterman’s turn.
Letterman’s a Pig...
>> It is time for CBS to show David Letterman the door.
I can’t stand David Letterman.
That said... it’s within the power of the people to “show him the door”, simply by NOT WATCHING HIS PROGRAM.
You don’t even need to petition CBS. Just don’t watch the fool. He WILL go away.
Disagree. CBS needs to get flamed for backing up Lettercreep.
Please buzz this up at Yahoo:
I thought he was up for his contract renewal... all this attention is only helping him, which I suspect was the goal.
No kidding, you would think the unions for the FA would be insulted for being called sluts.
Hot. No two ways about it. So “Not Guilty”.
Go after the advertisers....he is a waste of time....
These defamatory slurs can’t be accepted. Letterman needs to go or at least apologize without any reservations. It doesn’t matter whether someone else might “replace” him. Actions have consequences.

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.

The scumbag was making fun of Bush every night. What happened to “Great presidential moments” after Kenyan teleprompter impostor stole the WH and can’t compose a sentence????
Flame away.
Dave was only joking about Palin’s 18 year old daughter not the 14 year old, so all is ok.
????
Put the old coot out to pasture. Amazing he can get away with this.
Oh can you say boycott? Of the show? No, the SPONSORS.
Start calling them.
