This protest is stupid, it will just give him more material for jokes and his ratings will go higher. Who was the mole from the Letterman camp that organized this?

This is probably true in the short term. In the longer term, Letterman has done something late night hosts have traditionally avoided by identifying himself as an opponent of one side of the political/cultural divide. Carson, Leno and Letterman have always tried to portray themselves as equal opportunity ridiculers. There's no way this is going to work out in Letterman's favor unless he finds a way to de-escalate this issue - marginalizing himself by offending large swathes of the nation is not a strategy advertisers or the sad sacks at CBS are going to appreciate.

For sure,this is a guaranteed ratings boost for the slimeball.

Yes, after all, just look at what offending the public did for Rosie O'Donnell and the Dixie Chicks.
