Letterman is the right's new public enemy (RINOs advising us not to get mad)

Those comments would have been inappropriate concerning an eighteen year old daughter too. Even NOW agrees with that. Letterman doesn’t have a leg to stand on here.

He’s going to force CBS into damage control, if he isn’t careful.

[dalereed]

Why would anyonw even watch that pile of bull excretment that shouldn’t attract anything but maggots.

[TADSLOS]

"If the right goes after Letterman they make him look big and themselves small," says Mark McKinnon, a campaign adviser to George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. "It's win-win for Letterman."

All the more reason to go after Letterman- just to watch this liberal turd throw a hissy fit.

[joejm65]

The article is silly. The political right has had a tasty target since November 5th.

[Larry381]

The week-long scuffle between Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and late-night comedian David Letterman has given many on the political right something they've lacked in recent months — a tasty target

BS-The "tasty target is, will be, and has been, the Obamafuehrer. Letterman is a sideshow.

[Always Right]

Next he'll go after Piper!

No he won't. Piper would kick his butt.

[Neverforget01]

It's not a campaign against him. It's just standing up and defending against outrageous “jokes.” Rolling over and playing dead does what exactly?

[Dahoser]

Does that scream out loser or what?

Yes, and here's the exclamation point to telling Mark McKinnon to STFU:

[LimaLimaMikeFoxtrot]

The point is he is feeling the heat, and yes I know the "no such thing as bad publicity" meme.

As for me, I refuse to let this kind of cruel attack go without some push-back.

I called NOW everyday this week; they have now added Letterman to their hall of shame. Yeah I know its NOW.

I called 14 Letterman sponsors and told them I'm through with their products as long as they advertise on his show.

I filed a complaint with FCC, and I have sent at least 6 emails to CBS.

It may or may not get him fired, but I'm doing my damnedest.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

It's unacceptable. Period.
Lettermolester should be fired.

[Landru]

"I bet McKinnon was one of the campaign staff backstabbers that tried to throw Governor Palin under bus on November 5, 2008."

I'm a gambler, my friend. Wouldn't touch [that] wager with a 10 foot pole; but, I *would* wager you're absolutely correct.

These miserable Vichy quislings, these lice who've leaked, betrayed at every single turn have, are and will continue to OUT themselves each time they open their big mouths.

Sure do hope Steele & Co are taking names. /sarc ;^)

[TomOnTheRun]

I’m not advocating that we roll over and play dead. I’m just not sure that anybody has defined goals for any of this and I’m leery of taking action in the absence of defined goals. I’m already short of time and energy.

[Typical_Whitey]

Nobody will stand up for Conservatives. You have to fight fire with fire. Someone should cut a joke on Obama’s kids and then when they cry foul say Oh I was wondering where the voices were.

[TomOnTheRun]

It just seems like a lot of uncoordinated activity though with no specific goals or hopes. I’m willing to devote time and energy to projects that have defined goals that have at least a small chance of success.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Well Tom, since you just got here, maybe you don’t realize that conservatives don’t take kindly to children and young ladies being attacked. If these were your daughters, would you “get it” then?

[trtdenver]

Okay, seriously, when are we going to get rid of “advisers” to McCain...and Bush for that matter? Rove is okay, but even he is so damned wishy washy and a true politician’s politician. Are they ever going to go away? Ever? Get real jobs? Do something productive?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Is David Letterman the new head of the Democrat Party?

YES!!!!! (he, he ;-))

Mark McKinnon, true to vow, exits McCain team rather than fight Obama

EXCERPT

But he’s sticking by his vow that if the Democratic candidate was Obama, he would step off the McCain ad team because Obama’s election “would send a great message to the country and the world.”
