Not only did you fail to attend the event in NYC, you have the audacity to criticize those who did by discounting the number of those present. Indeed, that is foolish behavior.

An apology from David Letterman was good enough for Sarah Palin - but not for protesters who demanded the late night host's dismissal Tuesday at a Broadway demonstration.
"Fire Dave! Fire Dave!" the crowd of about 50 protesters chanted as Letterman fans filtered into the Ed Sullivan Theater for the show's taping.
"I hope to have him see the light," said demonstrator Josephine Sarnok, 59, of Newark. "I think it was over the line."
BettyJean Kling, 61, accused Letterman of using the Alaska governor's family to boost his ratings. She stood by a large plywood sign with the words "Fire the pervert" spray-painted across the front.

Maher used some particularly foul language about Palin and daughters. Google it. I won’t even paraphrase it.
Yes, because hiding behind a computer and lying about who you are is MUCH more affective than standing there in PERSON voicing your objection!!
Do you also "pretend" to have attended a tea party?
Yeah the sorry word was conspicuously missing must have had Perv dave perv write that.
Simple way to get rid of Letterman is to him off and boycott his sponsors.
CBS is NOT going to fire David Letterman. But hey, if it makes you feel good to insist that they do, who am I to stand in your way?
Not only did you fail to attend the event in NYC, you have the audacity to criticize those who did by discounting the number of those present. Indeed, that is foolish behavior.
The main effect the continued protests will have is to further enflame Letterman’s hatred. Eventually he will step over the line again, he won’t be able to help it. He’s like Sophia on the Golden Girls—spitting out hateful insults with no concern for the consequences.
I stopped using my Citi Cards this week.
So where are you today? Obviously not in NYC - so STFU!
you aren’t winning friends
You are not one I would choose for a friend, count on that.
No, probably not, but it makes for a good negotiating stance to start out asking for it.
Then the compromise, as we have seen, is an increasing number of more and more "sincere" apologies until, while keeping his job, he is so bruised publicly that he will never tell another Palin joke in his life.
And that is a satisfying outcome.
Then we move on to the next target. The double-standard must die.
Ummm, wrong. It has EVERYTHING to do with right or wrong.
"If you were bright enough to read my other post, you would see I have written to CBS and their advertisers -"
Yes, as fake people who don't exist. You just outed yourself as a FRAUD, at least 9 times out of 10. Hmmmm, there's that darn "right/wrong" thing again.
"that form opinions of people without even being able to grasp the concept they are talking about."
Again, it goes back to right or wrong. If you can't take a stand...and I mean a REAL one, not hiding behind "fake names on a computer", then, as I've stated previously, you are an idiot.
"Shove it little gal that can decide between right and wrong, your handle is a perfect fit -"
Oh my, you finally got one right!!!! IT IS a perfect fit for me. Why? Because I actually know the difference BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG and am NOT afraid to say so!
Your mom just called - Said you have to come home now and mow the lawn - Tell Billy you will come over and mutilate Barbie dolls in his basement next day.
I would rather go down fighting than to surrender.
ROFL.....you’re truly an imbecile.
