I sent the following message to every sponsor listed under the heading “Letterman rape jokes”:

Because you are a sponsor of the Letterman Show and because he insists on making rape jokes about
Governor Palin’s daughter and continues to insult Catholics over the world with his heathenistic remarks about the Pontiff who represents Jesus Christ on Earth, I will no longer consider purchasing any of your products and will urge others through my web site and through emails to do the same.

I didnt believe his first apology but was willing to let it slide but the latest insult to Palin shows just how sexist this man is. He does not respect women or children. Any of his sponsors will never see another dime of my money. He is a dirty old man and perverted also. As a woman a mother sister etc. I have never tolerated this behavior from a man nor will I now .

Any company that sponsors david letterman will be wearing the same scarlet letter that letterman will be wearing for the rest of his life.

alright, did letterman finally apologize? and if so! let me clarify something that is on my mind

Lets say I am a baseball player! and someone turns around and makes a joke about me doing a nasty deed to a child and pretty much is calling me a Child Molester, don’t I deserve an apology?

Where is Alex Rodriquez response to David Lettermans nasty despicable joke? or is Alex Rodriquez agreeing with David Letterman? and if so thats just sick!

Honestly, I can see how one would interpret this joke as being sexist. But let’s not forget, the real butt-end of the joke is Eliot Spitzer, not Willow Palin. If one is to presume that Willow is being targeted because she’s a woman, then one can only presume, and rightfully so, that Spitzer is the target of the same sort of discrimination; only against men. I’m not one to argue which sort of discrimination is worse, but I think it’s implied that Spitzer would make that sort of advance toward the young Palin only because she’s pretty, not because she’s a “prostitute.” He’s the pervert. It was a joke done in very bad taste, without a doubt, but countless jokes are. And the Letterman people are in charge of keeping viewers coming back night after night with fresh material. It’s not an easy job, so there’s bound to be a few blunders.

And despite all of this, let’s not forget that the “escort” Eliot Spitzer solicited charges $1,000 p/h! Exactly what is it that men do where they would dare to ask such rates from women? I can assure you that even the most elite of male escorts serving women probably don’t touch such a figure. Strictly from a man’s perspective, this joke is testament to how great women are, and how lousy men can be. Sure, there’s a glass ceiling. Sure, sexism isn’t anything new. But you don’t have to look at the lowest common denominator of men to realize all the things wrong with them inherently. They pretty much just suck overall.

Thanks for the list of advertisers. It allowed me to easily contact the advertisers and encourage them to ignore the morons at firedavidletterman.com.

Your site is a good one. Too bad a bunch of idiots are co-opting it right now.

scooch, take a look around the blog. This organization, which is less than one year old, has defended Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Judge Sotomayor and Michelle Obama against sexists attacks. For example, the RNC removed their sexist attack ad against Nancy Pelosi because of this organization.

We support all women, regardless of political affliliation. How about you? Be careful who you call a hypocrite.

I guess Amy’s posts on Huff Po have brought some very insightful commentators to our blog.

Scooch, when I made the Where’s The Line video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB_t_UGdmfQ
I searched extensively for evidence that McCain used the C* word to describe his wife. Turns out that rumors of it go back at least a decade. The rumors could be true, but I found no video, no audio, and no first-person observers who had gone on the record. If he had made the comment on camera within the last couple of years, I believe the video would be posted somewhere. The inappropriate Cheslea joke, however, is true.

John McCain on camera to his wife last year:
“At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c**t.”

John McCain, 1998: “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.”
Outrage!!! Joking about the rape of a child!!!
But you don’t care about that, do you?!!
Stupid hypocrites. Palin knows the joke was not aimed at her 14 y.o. anyways, she is USING YOU. But I guess you’re happy to be used.
