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.
Letterman is a reflection of the mindset at See BS. Disgusting liberalism infects everything on that Network, even CSI.
I pray regularly for Letterman to lose his job, and the sooner the better.
Ya it's called "free publicity".
His show has been dismally unfunny for years.
He won’t be missed.
Whatever. Some obviously prefer to sit down like sheep and accept the Palin daughters being smeared horribly.
I just Twittered M&M Mars and told them I’m boycotting all products becuase of Letterman’s 14-yr. old rape joke..
Definitely Languid Letterman, a distasteful, utterly repugnant person, needs to fired.
>> I pray regularly for Letterman to lose his job, and the sooner the better.
Prayer is good (and effective). You could pray the same prayer for 90% of the so-called “entertainment industry”.

Go to the Now.org website and read the press releases concerning violence against women, namely Rhianna. I don’t see the NOW hags screaming about David Letterman ?
Here’s what I think. I think Letterman is concerned about his ratings now that Conan O’Brien is opposite him and he’s saying this to generate controversy. As they say there’s no such thing as bad publicity. A lot of people will look in to see what Letterman is saying next and his ratings will stay up there. My $0.02.
This is just a case of a has been trying to relive their better days. Just like many old rock and pop stars that need to get some attention to make themselves feel wanted. Time for the nursing home, dave

Had he said this about Obama's kids he would already be gone.
It took a long time but Donahue went, and then came back and I had to start all over, but he’s gone and I wish Fox would keep him off the tv...lol
It isn’t just Letterman, it’s the writers of that show too that have to go. People like Donahue and Letterman are disgraceful Americans, and are not entertaining but using their bully pulpits to destroy the reputations of good people. I think Letterman should be sued, and all his money given to Palin,....maybe I’ll pray for that while writing my emails to his sponsers..lol
If you wrote this in a personal capacity, your moral inability to see the extreme significance of this particular slander is duly noted.
If you wrote this in a professional capacity, your multiplication of the outrage through professed indifference is duly noted.
Sarah is hated by all the right people.
She has my vote.
BTW: Why don’t 50,000 conservatives get together and JOIN ACORN, and vote conservatives into the leadership positions?
Thanks for posting the list of sponsors and link. I think the only thing I use is Mars Candy once in a while — I guess not anymore. I haven’t liked David Letterman in a long, long time, really. He just isn’t/hasn’t been funny anymore.
Between this and Katie Couric’s numbers which are the lowest ever, CBS should feel something...
Can't be repeated enough.
Here’s a copoy of an emial I just sent his contact info at CBS:
Subject: #1 Reason Not To Wathc Letterman
Other than that he’s a pathetic has been?
#1 Reason – Being a grown man so disgustingly desperate for attention he will stoop to making vile jokes on national tv about “knocking up” a teenage girl – did I miss the jokes he made about “knocking up” his “old lady” or about what a “slut” she is? It is one thing for him to disagree with the young woman’s mother’s political views. That is legitimate. However, it is TOTALLY out of bounds to verbally abuse this young woman because of that difference of opinion. This child is 17 years old. Has Letterman lived a life so chaste he has never once made a mistake? At least Bristol has assumed responsibility for her actions, which is more mature behavior than Letterman exhibits.
He owes Miss Palin a public apology.
