Letterman's offensive remarks about Sarah and Willow Palin

[TxBrewer]

yikes, I may have to retract my previous statement. Wikipedia is not what I call reliable. But I think you are correct, or more precisely, Wiki was correct in its' definition.

[Fantasy Chaser]

You are blowing smoke as usual

What else is new...

I just do not think Letterman is funny and that was even before he started his liberal rants against Bush and others. He calls it comedy I call it stupidity and viciousness.

I much prefer Leno.

1.Free speech is free speech. It extends to offensive speech. You're either for free speech or against it.

2.Phototiger is against free speech. He wants an entertainer punished for something he said on an entertainment show.

1. Bullshit. There are Constitutionally-compliant laws against all kinds speach; death threats, slander, fraud, etc.
2. Only at at corporate level. Just voting with one's dollars. Leave it to you to scream "free speech!"...

No, it really isn't. Making fun of a little girl because you think she's ugly and you're in your 50s is pathetic, and on the same level as Letterman making fun of Willow.

No, asthetics and sexual references are in completely different leagues, even though both are distasteful.

Phototiger is against free speech, etc.

I'm waiting for the inevitable "Phototiger = Hitler" rant, which the left loves to throw around.

Letterman always has been, and always will be, an arrogant a$$hole.

Maybe she can handle it or maybe not,but she never should have to put up with it in the first place.Their Mother understandably defended them by castigating Letterman for it.

Children of politicians should not be made fun of or have crude jokes made at their expense.Scums like Letterman do it because he is knuckledragging drooling maggot who cowardly pick on teens who can not fight back.

Your weak reply shows that you do not really care that children are being made fun of.

She is a celebrity at this point. They get made fun of. She is also an 18 year old with a daughter. She is not a child.

I am not uncaring. I'm just not oversensitive...

See the definition I gave in regard to what this statement is.

You'd be overly sensitive if it were one of the politicians' children who's a liberal politician and over 18.

Already been through this like a page ago. No I wouldnt. Like 95% of jokes, poor taste or not dont offend me. Even I strongly like that person. To me as long as its a joke, as long as its not said with a real/mean intent, I dont care. If its well written or actually funny, I laugh. If its not, like the joke Letterman made, I dont laugh...

Letterman did it to be mean and you care less about it because you are dead inside,with absolutely no idea what empathy is.No idea why what David did was absolutely unecessary.

Your excuses are profoundly stupid because the children are innocent victims from scums like Letterman who was being ugly towards a child.

What beef does he have with the 18 year old anyway? Why make such crude "jokes" at her expense?

[Sunsettommy]

Replies from the liberals in the thread offering weak excuses about why we should not make a big deal out of it,is why I think todays liberals are dead inside.

Mr. Palin was PISSED as a good dad would be.If I had a jerk make crude sexual comments ("jokes") about my daughter,I would punch him in the mouth!
