a 14 year cannot consent, therefore it is rape. Sexual assault technically.
Don’t know. Don’t really much care. But I’ll let you guys carry on. If you get him to grovel and offer a fake apology, then fine by me. He’s a libtard chump.
How are viewers supposed to understand it. The seventh inning stretch and A-Rod “knocks” up a 14 year old. Dave is the one that leaves it open to interpretation.
knocked up = rape. That’s news to me.
adult has sex with child = rape
is that news to you as well?
Yeah, nancy. That’s the ticket.
You've never witnessed an abused family I take it.
Re-read what I posted. Letterman siad he was talking about the older daughter. Period. Is he lying? You obviously think so. So have at em.
You know what’s bad for Letterman? Most of the mainstream left is ignoring this, with the exception of those groups like NOW that have condemned him. Virtually none of these people are speaking up for him. They are strangely silent on this issue.
The HuffPost and Kos-Kommie crowd of course want anything hateful of Palin and her family to stand without apology, but very few of those idiots are showing their face.
Letterman looks to take a hit from this. According to independent accounts, his sponsors have been inundated with emails and letters denouncing him and threats to boycott.
Letterman’s half-assed non-apology apology only made things worse.
I haven’t watched Letterman in a decade. Sure as hades won’t start now.
If you believed in firing Don Imus, you should support firing - or at least suspending - David Letterman. What he said was no less objectionable and that’s what I told CBS.
And don’t let him get away with claiming he meant to joke about the 18-year-old. That’s no less repulsive.
“Letterman siad he was talking about the older daughter.”
Of course he was, now. When he made the comment he was talking about the 14 yr old.
Again, why do you consider these comments to be acceptable regardless of the age? Is Bristol fair game for national humiliation?
If a conservative made this comment about a young liberal they would be slammed. yet you find it ok for liberals to do it to conservatives. amazin
Nonsense. David Letterman is an employee of CBS. If he does things that hurt's the image or profits of CBS he should be fired.
My business has approximately 15 employees. I would fire any one of them in a minute if they publicly made "jokes" like this.
Obviously, you think this effort to get letterman to grovel for forgiveness or get fired or censored or whatever is worth your time. Carry on.
Cool! Free speech counters free speech.
Yup. And not particularly funny. But then I never thought that he was. What is disturbing is that there are people who think he's talented rather than just crass and juvenile.
obviously you feel no need to stand up for your beliefs or conservatives or common decency. I’d say carry on but I’d really rather you not
You are right. It would be a BIG mistake for large numbers of us to demand Letterman be fired. It’s what THEY do, specifically. I wouldn’t even waste time ‘boycotting’ the products of his sponsors. I WOULD however send e mails to the network telling them JUST WHY you will no longer be watching his show.
