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.

Not stupid, just NOT a liar. I'm sure ACORN has the same excuse YOU do.
I am hardly a liar of for using different email addresses moron.....
Gee, since you have admitted to lying 9 times out of 10, I have a hard time believing that one!
"wow, what an obnoxious POS you are"
POS, no, obnoxious, sometimes.
"So tell me, why aren't’t you standing there instead of taking your vile temper out on me - "
Because I had to work and could not take off.
"practice what you preach"
I do, but I work. I can't take off on a whim. It almost always has to be planned.
Hey, n00b—or re-tread—you apparently have no idea that you are, for no rational reason, insulting some of the most respected members on the board.
With all those email addies, how many screen names do you have here at FR?
Just like ACORN aren't "liars".
So, if my using different email addresses makes me a liar, I should assume your real name is NoGrayZone, correct?
So, why didn’t you plan it? Why didn’t you plan to be there? Why didn’t you make arrangements? What kind of phony are you?
Wasn’t it important enough to call in sick for?
I don’t care if he tells Sarah Palin jokes as long as they are not vulgar or personal attacks on her family.
Now THAT made me fall off my chair, Ester Ruth. Too funny.
Because truth always wins in the end. If you have to lie to get your point across, it isn't a good point to begin with.
Sure, but making Sarah as off-limits to jokes as 0bama is to the libs then we have really accomplished something, haven't we?
You shut up.
Thank you for e-mailing those sponsors for me and expressing my disgust with Dick Ledbetter. Soon my workload will subside. Freeguards.
no rational reason? I stated my opinion as to the effectiveness of 50 people showing up at the Ed Sullivan Theater and am immediately personally attacked by being called an idiot, then a liar, and now have you attacking me for no reason other than I defended myself?
What is wrong with you? What do you consider rational? Do you always respect people that start name calling for “no rational reason”....???? ..and now you start making additional false accusations against me????????? Tell me, how is that right?
You all have a very warped perspective of “right”....
And this from another sponsor:
Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald’s and share your feelings about our commercial placements. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.
First and foremost, please know that the relationship we have with our customers is one we value greatly. Our customers are at the heart of every decision we make, and we would never do anything to intentionally offend any of our customers.
When it comes to determining where we advertise, we have an obligation to our customers, employees, franchisees, and shareholders to reach our customers as effectively as possible. To that end, we work hard to have an ongoing dialog with all the media outlets with which we work. We regularly review programming where our advertising messages appear, and strive to associate our messages with programming that is relevant and entertaining and that speaks to our customers.
That said, it’s important to understand that McDonald’s is not directly involved with network/radio programming decisions. As an advertiser, our role is not to determine what broadcasters should or should not air. That decision belongs to the broadcaster and, ultimately, to the individual viewer. However, we recognize our customers support a diverse view of programming interests. As such, we appreciate you sharing your opinion and have shared it with our Marketing Department where it will be considered for future advertising decisions.
Please be assured that we will continue to search for entertaining, responsible programming for the placement of our commercials.
Again, thank you for contacting McDonald’s.

My response would get me banned from FR.
Ideally, we would all be better served if Obama were not off-limits. If things continue going off the rails I think he will become more of a target.
While the rest of us came to this thread to cheer our FRiends who invested their valuable time and effort to demonstrate the cause, you came here and summarily flamed their efforts.
We simply returned the favor to you. Nothing more, nothing less. Have a nice evening.
FR has my REAL email address. If they need to get a hold of me, they can. Just like when I send "protest" emails out, phone calls, gatherings, etc (nograyzone is a perfect description of my personality, as you have stated previously).
"So, why didn’t you plan it? Why didn't’t you plan to be there?"
Because we are a small office who have lost a couple of people already and cannot afford our "whimsicals" any longer.
"Wasn't’t it important enough to call in sick for?"
Lie and call in sick? I don't do that. I care about what happens to the private practice which employs me. I am working my fingers to the bone to keep us above water.
So, how many screen names do you have here at FR?
