Re: Palin brought her kids to the convention...
by seacouch
This stuff just makes my head hurt. That's why I watch fox news to get my daily talking points. So much easier than reading and gathering info from diverse sources, etc. One-stop shopping makes my life easier. Sometimes I listen to Rush, but then I start to get confused. Better to just stick with fox. It's simple, like me.
which "diverse" sources are you talking about?
by gringo_911
Can you be more specific? I mean, do people who do not watch Fox are trying to ignore "diverse" sources?
Let me get this straight

It is OK to be a victim as long as you have your Movement Conservative bona fides?

Is it Irony Poor Blood on your part that the Movement Conservatives are wringing their hands over the canard that Obama is going to bring back the Fairness Doctrine, but at the same time you are sobbing over Letterman picking on Palin and not giving equal time to Obama?

Boy do you suck!

A few years back

The woman that owned the house next to us was a stewardess from American Airlines. She used the house as a layover house for about 16 of her fellow stewardesses.

For the record, yes.....American Airlines.

Can we get to the point here?
by Trebuchet

Are you saying that you think the Fairness Doctrine should be reintroduced?

Have you consulted FAUX News about this? I think you are supposed to stick to the talking point that the Fairness Doctrine is bad and that Obama is trying to bring it back.

And oh yeah.....you sound like a victim/

Ahm...

You guys don't understand the issues very well. I want Letterman to be fired by the company - but I don't want the state to press them to do so. I exercise my freedom of speech by expressing outrage. I am not calling for anyone's first amendment rights to be stepped upon.

But liberals want to use the state power to shut down talk radio. There's the difference. God, you guys are tense.

Wait a second...

You just equated citizen protest with the government shutting down private media outlets. You are not too bright.
Stop wringing your hands over poor David Letterman!
by Trebuchet

For the record, Dave has been telling jokes about squirrel genitals for some thirty years now and nobody seems to get enough of that. Or smelly foreign cab drivers. Or the ubiquity of the rat population of New York City.

But more than anything, Dave and Jay and Conan make jokes about celebrities. That is why people tune in every night - they want to hear celebrities made fun of.

The Palins are celebrities. Just like Madonna or Paris Hilton or any of the silly American Idol people. They have embarrassed themselves in public and people pay to hear jokes about those kinds of people. This is not a political stunt, at least not on the part of Dave. Sarah, sure, Dave no.

And one last point - Letterman is definitely the self effacing type. He has made jokes about his son being illegitimate, his lack of a marriage license and all that. He has had guests (Juliet Roberts comes to mind, but there has been many more) that come on and relentlessly humiliate him over his somewhat tawdry (only recently amended) lifestyle.

You see, Dave is a celebrity too. And he jokes about celebrities.

huh?

Well you guys make us tense!

I thought Nuance was a bad word for you Movement Conservatives - or is that scorn just reserved for those that don't belong to your club?

So vent your faux outrage. Your results will be faux too.

I replied to you...

Since you knew you were in the wrong, you replied with ad hominem. Okay.

YannyX:

That was a lame report Britesnide.

Anyways gringo, no one really cares if people make jokes about Michelle Obama. I don't remember any outrage and if there was, woe to those people.

Shove your opinions up your ass and twirl.

No, I'm not interested in being anything like you.

And you are still lame and until you bring any credible arguments without the vitriol. You will always be lame.


Liberal Hypocrites.
by Gatewood

One notices that the Slate's Fray Editor selected ONLY a pro-Letterman top post for this controversial issue. Dozens of top quality anti-Letterman posts were created and yet none of them got singled out by Slate's LIBERAL Fray Editor for community admiration.

The raw hypocrisy of liberals on this issue is breathtaking. Not a single one of them would endorse Letterman's crude and filthy 'jokes' were the following scenario true. You liberals have a young daughter and for some reason she and your family name became household items after she got pregnant out of wedlock. Now a year after the furor died down David Letterman used her as the butt of an obscene joke on national television. Ta-da! Would ANY of you liberals currently approving of these attacks launched against Sarah Palin and her daughters then publiclly THANK David Letterman for abusing YOUR daughter on national television?

One presumes you would not. This makes each and every one of you currently approving of Letterman's Palin 'jokes' major league hypocrites.

But let's take this a couple of steps further since at least half of the Internet population that was on top of the story when it broke DID assume that Letterman was actually targeting the only Palin daughter KNOWN to be at the game. So all your fourteen year old daughter's school friends also KNOW that she was portrayed as a slut on national television. Wouldn't THAT make you want to pay respectful homage to Letterman?

But wait! Let's bump it up a bit further. Let's say that one of your two publicly humiliated daughters, liberals, could no longer stand the vile slander and committed suicide as a result of Letterman's obscene joke. Would YOU invite Letterman to the funeral and ask him to retell the "jokes" to the mourners?

Hypocrite? Thy name is LIBERAL.

Well, a few anyway. Maybe.

There have never been dozens of top-quality posts created here on any subject.
