Letterman Leaps Over The Line


The hatred, disrespect, and contempt media figures demonstrate against those who advocate traditional values appears to have no bottom limit. Last week, it was Guy Cimbalo’s rape fantasies directed at ten prominent conservative women. The only thing that seemed odd about this loathsome scum’s pornographic raving was excluding the usual hate victim among conservative women, Sarah Palin.

A new week, a new sicko, but this one ups the anti a little. Sarah Palin’s visit to New York couldn’t go by without passing David Letterman’s notice. One example of his hate missiles aimed at Palin would be within the bounds of normal Letterman garbage, from his "top ten list" about Sarah Palin’s New York visit, he offered for number two on the list:

“(Palin) Bought makeup at Bloomingdales to update her slutty flight attendant look.”

Had viewers tuned in at that stage of the show, they might have just dismissed that as Dave being Dave, but what he offered during his nightly monologue took on the same trashy contemptuous mentality of the despicable rape fantasy in Playboy, target, Sarah Palin and her daughter. Letterman remarked:

One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game during the 7th inning her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.

Watch it yourself on YouTube, but we’d suggest you keep your fists beyond striking distance of your computer display, as this would surely make any right thinking person furious:

While we’d presume most traditional thinkers have tired of Letterman’s nonsense years ago and don’t watch his program, letters of protest are in order directed to CBS, local affiliates, and advertisers indicating Letterman’s attempt to make humor out of a all star baseball player raping a teenaged daughter of a nationally known political figure is unacceptable programming and that Letterman’s conduct demands an appropriate response in return – termination, suspension, public statement from CBS executive apologizing to the public, or any other corrective or disciplinary action Letterman’s enablers could administer. The CBS affiliates in the Chesapeake region are WJZ-TV, channel 13 in Baltimore; WUSA-TV, channel 9 in Washington; and WBOC-TV, channel 16 in Salisbury. Letters should be polite and not contain any threats other than specific things the writer might be prepared to do such as boycotting sponsors’ products.

Surely, little will be made of Letterman’s disgusting remark. Most likely, those left-wingers not appreciating Letterman’s remarks would just right it off as “Dave being Dave.” If there were an issue women’s rights groups should direct their protests, it would be statements so thoroughly demeaning of women that a nationally televised network program would dare present a remark about a New York Yankee portrayed as a rapist of Sarah Palin’s daughter.

How is this not as bad as all the uproar that arose over Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction?” One was a brief obscene visual lasting only a couple seconds. The other makes rape the object of humor.

We think Letterman’s remarks are more obscene. The passive quick view of a woman’s breast comes up far short than the explicit depiction of a hate driven act of violence aimed at demeaning a woman.
