UPDATE by RAM: The following statements were issued by Gov. Palin and Alaska's First Gentleman about Letterman's treatment of their 14-year-old daughter:
"Any 'jokes' about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too."
- Todd Palin
"Concerning Letterman's comments about my young daughter (and I doubt he'd ever dare make such comments about anyone else's daughter): 'Laughter incited by sexually-perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood/NY entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands - that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone's daughter, contribute to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others.'"
- Governor Sarah Palin

Amazing what passes for “humor” in their world.
Don’t know if I could describe my feelings as anger, actually - more like disgust and alarm, like finding a dog turd on your living room carpet, and you don’t own a dog. I’m a long way from being an A-Rod fan but somehow I don’t think he’s laughing a lot either. Could be wrong...
I’m not really afraid of being mocked. They will mock me anyway.
They won’t be laughing, or mocking us if the sponsors pull their adds and money from CBS.
“Lets see Letterman tell the joke to Todds face.”
Isn’t that the truth. The the show would be over... hard to talk crap with a broken jaw.
“Where is John Galt when you need him?”
or for that matter, where are the GOP geniuses from Washington who should be spinning this as Letterman being the voice of the Left and the Democrats ?
In the same fashion the opposition has cast Rush as the voice of the conservatives/GOP, the GOP should keep out there that Letterman speaks for all Democrats ... just pound it and pound it and pound it.
Did even ONE person in his left-leaning audience get up and walk out of the theatre when he made those statements? One ?
If we simply boycott and never tell anyone why we did it, the sponsors won’t have a clue what to chalk it up to. If one chooses not to use the voice they have, they don’t deserve to have one.
ARE THERE ANY MEN LEFT IN WASHINGTON DC?

There is another old saying, "Those that don't cause you to get angry when you have right on your side, will walk all over your a** like it is a doormat!". Fighting back is the only way to handle these a**hats. President Bush ruined his 8 years in office and caused his approval rating to drop like a rock because he took all the crap and never fought back, therefore leading many to believe all the lies about him were true.
Letterman Makes Another “Joke”.Wrong tag line for Letterman hasn’t had a joke in ten years.
........but Imus poked fun at the sacred race....
Knowing that liberals are generally soft, weak, little herd animals, and are incapable of elevating themselves above their florid, base-instincts, I'm more than willing to “stoop” to their level to take them on.
I can more than hold my own with anyone, on their terms or mine. It's just a lot more fun to destroy them on their own turf.
Besides, I love a good pig fight. Nothing wrong with getting one’s hands dirty.
I just posted the list of sponsors with contact info in a new thread:

All good points...
Letterman is pure scum to do this. What is it, sweeps week? Is Conan that much of a threat? Plenty of other shock jocks were taken off the air for less.
I think (and you said this already) that everyone has something they can do. I personally am not good at confronting people, but I can do other things. :)
None can make you hate, that is a choice you make....Hate and love are both strong emotions, indifference is the opposite of hate and love....
I permit no one to dictate my reaction to anything. that is why I am hard to insult....an "insult" is just one persons opinion..
But scripture also says there is a time to love and a time to hate...
I have found that hate leads to bitterness and bitterness really sucks. Fell into that once as a young woman until I learned how to get rid of it..Since then I have not experienced hating anyone, but have been indifferent many times....(hope this doesn't sound too convoluted)
