Oh My Gawd.

Yes, hell will be a lot more pleasant. I'll bring the bong!!!!

They love Jay Leno and Fox News. Color me shocked. I hope Letterman put these people out there because they are hilarious.

I've never been the victim of sexual abuse, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that a tasteless joke (whoever it may have been targeting) is just a liiiitle bit different than raping a child with your mouth.

"I only watch the Fox News Channel".

Hahahahaahahaha!

I would gladly pay a steamroller to tear through that crowd. Sweet fuck, what a bunch of fucking loonies. Seriously. These people need to be beaten with dildos. I'm actually angry now. Thanks. Thanks a bunch...

WOW. Dave makes ONE joke, but that group of people managed to display hatred for about 5 different groups of people in little over 2 mins. "Clean your house..."?!!!? Christ is that bitch some kind of Nazi?
When I saw the mouth rape lady(?) I was expecting a team of scientist to swoop in and capture what looks like the missing link.

What does schmuck mean in jewish? We may never know.

DAMN YOUS EDITORS!!!

The two guys behind the crazy lady at the end attempting a faux makeout is fantastic.

According to a news report I read this morning, there were a total of fifteen protesters, and around thirty-five reporters at the scene.

The reporters outnumbered the demonstrators by more than two to one, folks.

I wanna make sure I understand this. To make a proxy, reference joke regarding a now, technically speaking, adult (of legal age) girl and her teenage pregnancy (whose mother thrust her in to the spotlight) is inappropriate, buuuut to exploit every child of yours (including the mildly retarded infant who can't speak for himself) for the sake and hope of becoming Vice President is acceptable? So...down is the new up, huh? Good. Got it. I love these modern parenting techniques.

I can't believe all you commenters are making light of Dave Letterman's mouth-rape spree! Please won't someone think of the children??? Of course closing the borders might help...by keeping Letterman in Mexico where he belongs, I guess.

Seriously, the right to free speech and assembly is great and all, but isn't it a bit of a shame that we go from anti-segregation rallies to farces like this?

I have a headache now. Everytime I think I've accepted just how dumb people can be, humanity lowers the bar and just gets even dumber.

Really, I think Sparta was on to something, what with the throwing weak babies off cliffs. They just didn't go far enough.

Points:

1. Letterman has been making these jokes forever (and they were GREAT!) Why are these people caring now? He's a comedian and the jokes were funny. I'm a woman and I enjoy dark comedy and he hit the nail on the head. Palin's just mad that he's rubbing her nose in the fact that the angelic daughter she had got knocked up.

2. Sarah Palin reminds me of the smiley but bitchy teacher at school that always took joy in announcing fun things were cancelled for the whole class because of "certain student's behavior". Like my vice principal who when we were walking up to graduation took away all balloons, roses and any gifts we were handed by our families and just kept saying "this takes away from the ceremony."

3. I love the fact that Bristol Palin got preggers. I love that her and her boyfriend hate each other now. I love that she made her mother a laughingstock by saying that abstinence-only education doesn't work. And I love how shoving your family and children and husband and the Down's Syndrome kid and the snowmobile into the picture to make you appear more "down to earth" blew up her face. Besides the fact that you had other children, what arrogance to trot out your handicapped child over and over at rallies instead of staying home and taking care of him! He's a baby, not a prop!

4. If Sarah Palin wasn't the "new, cute, hip female look" of the GOP and she was in her 60's with a shovel face, she would not get this much exposure.

5. Sarah Palin named her daughter Bristol after Bristol, Connecticut. The home of ESPN. She had wanted to go into sports television before politics. Really.

I have lost patience for people like this. I honestly have nothing left to prevent me from punching one of these people in the face outside of a desire to stay out of jail, and even that is questionable at this point. I try everything to not be a violent person. I seriously don't want to sink to their level. But it's getting so hard.

You know what the real difference is between these wack-jobs and the liberal side of America? The conservatives scream the loudest, but the liberals actually shut up and listen when they need to. When was the last time you saw a liberal group protest anything that wasn't either war-related or race-related? Because we pay attention. If these people paid attention for ONE DAY, they would see the ridiculousness of this whole thing, the fact that Letterman didn't make a joke about a 14-year-old, the fact that everything they say about Letterman is significantly worse than anything Letterman has ever said to anyone, and that Letterman actually APOLOGIZED, twice, about this shit.

Okay, I'm sorry. I just want to see these people damned to the Hell they believe in so much.

The best thing that could happen now, aside from a small meteor shower hitting that particular group of fuckwits, would be Leno running the clip and following up with "Stop saying you watch my show. Please. You're embarrassing me"...

I think Alex Rodriguez should be outraged at the whole thing. If I were him I'd be demanding an apology for putting his name in the same sentence with a Palin.

mmmm.... Mouth Rape. Jay Leno would never mouth rape you. His chin would get in the way.

What's great is that before your addendum, withnail, I already knew where you were going with that joke.

Okay, I'll admit it. I just watched that video 5 times in a row. It's the most entertaining thing I've seen in years. Are we absolutely sure this isn't the most magnificent piece of performance art ever? These people are wonderful: I could watch them forever. Someone mentioned yesterday that South Park needed to do an ep on the Letterman/Palin thing but these people have beaten them to it. There is no possibility that anything done on the subject could be funnier than this.

Paddy, speaking of South Park... the scary looking woman in yellow is a verbal dead-ringer for Kyle's mom. Yikes. The faux outrage hits just the right chord.

Also, "poivert?" Oh dear lord this is funny.

The woman screaming about mouth rape...is wrong of me to keep picturing her on TV telling the GumShoes that Carmen San Diego has tried to escape to Asia? RIP Carmen San Diego detective lady.

BierceAmbrose Ill admit I cant really talk about fashion crimes Im currently wearing a 1990s Germany shirt I bought from a charity shop. And my whole ethos is dress as boring as possible as my big red hair is enough to draw attention to me anyway.

So Ill just insert copyright theft as a made up crime instead of fashion crimes.
Evidently the king fashionista (fashion's police) is Bruno though judging from the ammount of names he dropped in that interview on todays Pajiba love.

It was a fucking joke people. Jesus, do these people seriously not have anything better to do with their day. With all the shit going on in the world, this is what they decide to bitch and moan about.

I tend to be a little more conservative minded and even I can't get behind what these asswipes are doing. Sure, the joke Letterman told was in poor taste. And maybe and apology was warranted. But for these idiots to say the kinds of things they are saying is so simple minded. Get a fucking life!

And to think that this is the face the conservative movement in this country. I'm a Republican and these people sure as hell don't represent me.

LOL @ Sal & Richard making out behind that crackpot lady at the end.

I can remember back in the 90's when that fat turd Limbaugh had some rather unpleasant things to say about a then-teenage Chelsea Clinton (something to the effect that she was the "family dog").

So not only are these reactionnaries imbeciles & wanna-be martyrs, they're also hypocrites undeserving of any respect.

I say abort the lot of them (in an entertaining way, of course!)

I heard that it was only 15 people and they were outnumbered by the media outlets covering it.

That is one of the funniest/most disturbing things I've ever seen. And was crazy-Yiddish lady Jewish? I hope so, because I'm tired of discovering these types of events peopled largely by the Opus Dei contingent of my Catholic people.

All I want to say about this is that I think that NBC/Universal and Jay Leno are responsible for 90% of those protesters. After the apology he gave, you'd not only have to be unreasonably conservative GOP, you would also have to be insane to say the things they are saying, but notice how often it gets brought around to watching Jay Leno instead.

This, now that Letterman is trouncing Conan [whom I love] in the ratings, and Leno is set to come back on the air to a show that will most likely bomb if they do not stir the pot of the Absolute Believers who, if connected to their causes, will DO WATCH or SAY ANYTHING you ask them to.

My dad took me aside to teach me all about my fallacy when I was 11 years old. Where are the parents these days?

When was the last time you saw a liberal group protest anything that wasn't either war-related or race-related?
---
That world economic summit in Seattle comes to mind. "Peaceably assemble" doesn't come to mind.

These people are lunatics, they are not representative of mainstream conservatives.

Who is?

I wouldn't want any of these Fuck Knuckles around my kids.

This is the very reason why I hate being in a two party system. I may believe in
some conservative ideas but I hate these people. While Dave mave have become more politcal since his heart surgery and son, he still is the best going and these people that share my party need a life.

Alrighty, since everyone here is preaching to the converted, I'll stick my body part out there for a whacking and try to play Devil's Avocado...

Think back a couple years agon, when semi-conservative Bitter Old Man, Don Imus made a nasty on-the-air comment, hitting both the misogynist and racist bulls-eyes in one snide swipe. At that time, leftist yahoos marched in the street and I betcha all-y’all cheered them on. Also, it was about the same ratio of protestors-to-reporters, say one nutjob protestor to every two extremely liberal propagandists…I’m sorry, I meant ”unbiased journalists”. Al Sharpton was outraged (hehe..), Jesse Jackson was shocked! Simply shocked! OFF WITH HIS HEAD, you all shouted.

So Imus (whose show was about as interesting as watching dog shit dry on a cloudy day) apologizes. Then begs. Then fucking GROVELS at the feet of those nappy-headed ho’s…and N.O.W. ... and Katie Couric… and whoever else the Liberatti tell him he must kiss the ring of to keep his job. And THEN…he gets fired. By who (whom…?) does he get fired. Why CBS, of course, that bastioned of good taste, a corporation that would never tolerate one of its key personalities ruthlessly attacking the innocent. Innocents like hard working, talented college basketball players. Or, of course, children. Because, you know, even if that personality is popular and makes the company lots of money, there is such a thing as going too far!

So someone please tell me, without calling me a right-wing ideologue, racist, sexist, Nazi, redneck, child-molester, genocidist, or whatever insult-of-the-week is popular right now, how is this situation with Letterman functionally different than the one with Imus? Bitter Old Comedian (check). Attacks people on opposite end of political spectrum (check). Victims aren’t in the business of expressing political opinions and did nothing to ask for or deserve such a public and humiliating attack (check). Very tasteless, sexually inappropriate, misogynistic joke about young ladies (check, except Dave’s victim was younger). Off-the-cuff remark later regretted (well, no – Dave’s was scripted and he’s still smug about it). Media outraged equally for both (uhhh…). CBS has harshly disciplined both (well…).

Wait, I get it. It’s OK for liberals to hate the children of right-wingers, because liberals are always right and conservatives are EVIL – is that how this is justified? Really? Hypocrites. Fucking hypocrites.

Seriously, someone answer me logically and I’ll listen.

HuntedDown, people forget that freedom of speech protects the speech you hate.

Although to explain why Dave's not fired... His company Worldwide Pants produces his show, so, he's not going to go and fire himself. CBS already has a contract with him and they're not going to break it over this.

Although, that having been said, it doesn't matter. The liberal ideal is right and we just have to get used to it.

Doesn't mean I'm shutting up anytime soon, though,

Allow me to answer your question HuntedDown, it is functionally different because Palin and Imus are both cunts and Letterman is not.

P.S. I just wish that the gays would give Obama time to put is plans to work, they are so impatient.

No, seriously, I wanted an answer.

Oh well.

Well, Imus was referring to black women in general as "nappy-headed hos" (first of all, entirely linguistically and historically different than the far-more-sedate and coded "knocked up") whereas Letterman was referring to a specific individual, Bristol, who did, in fact, get knocked up under the allegedly watchful eye of her mother and father.

What the f--k? I risk my life to come to the U.S 20 years ago and now I want to go back to my country. America is now full of loonies.

That's what I was thinking of too Chantelle. I thought the Chaser skit was funny - dark, black, but funny.

I remember reading once that Obama says he has a hard time getting worked up over people like the above/Rush Limbaugh/Anne Coulter etc, who spew forth vitriolic, ridiculous hatred, because (paraphrasing) he can't take them seriously because they are so obviously just seeking attention/stupid. I, on the other hand, watch videos like this (or of the detestable Coulter or Limbaugh) and get so angry I feel violent.

So, if none of them actually watch Dave, 'cause they're all watching Leno or Fox News, how do they even know what they're railing against?

HuntedDown:

I'm a hardcore liberal woman and I thought the jokes were funny. It was dark humor, which I know not everyone likes (but I do) so I found them enjoyable. If you don't like Letterman's style of humor, don't watch the show!!! I can't stand Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter, but I know some people find their shows enjoyable, but I choose not to watch them.

The whole point of the joke (I can't believe I'm explaining this to an adult), was the fact that Sarah Palin throughout the presidential campaign tried to make her family seem so angelic and all-American (even trotting out her Down's Syndrome child to show how she didn't abort him when she got the test results--actually said that at a rally!) and Letterman capitalized on the fact that this woman running on the GOP ticket (typically a conservative group of people) had a teen who didn't listen to the abstinence-only education (like most teens all across the country don't) and got pregnant. The joke was on Sarah Palin, NOT her child's choices! Christ!

these people are " loonies " but the weirdos
who march in the gay parade are squared away, right? do these knee jerk liberals ever get
bored with their reflexive agreement on every
issue?do these comments really reflect the
intellectual depth of a cross section of
pajabians? i guess so ... hang in there guys...
michael moore will produce another movie
soon that you can all swoon over.
