VOTE: Weigh In on Palin/Letterman Feud!

Sarah Palin and David Letterman feud

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin picked a fight with David Letterman after he made jokes about Yankees stud Alex Rodriguez "knocking up" her daughter.

On Wednesday, Dave announced on his show that his jokes on the Palin family were "unpleasant" and "ugly" and said he would love to have the Governor as a guest on "Late Night." Palin's camp responded with a statement saying, "The Palins have no intention of providing a ratings boost for David Letterman by appearing on his show."

"Extra" wants to know: What's going on here?


NEXT: Happy Birthday Pete Wentz!

 

Letterman was wrong. The left is wrong to think it is okay to make sexist jokes about Palin because she is not on the left and it is certainly not okay to make jokes about a child getting knocked up.
If you are anti-drug and your child is a drug addict are you a hypocrit…or is it possible that our children just don’t always listen to us?
Palin DOESN’T ADVOCATE abstinence ONLY.
One of the most depressing things that happened this last year is that I have discovered that my fellow liberals are absolutely as stupid and uninformed and hateful as the right.

yes we can do something about Letterman insulting women and young girls.

Dear Late Show Advertisers:

As an advertiser on the David Letterman show, you endorse his point of view, I am appalled that your company supports the rape of young girls.

On June 8th 2009 Mr. Letterman “joked” that a female Governor of the United States is “slutty” and worse still, “joked” about her 14 year-old daughter and statutory rape by an adult baseball player. He continued his slander of this young girl during his June 9th show, likening her to a prostitute. I refuse to buy products from a company who supports such a vulgar, reprehensible attitude toward women and girls.

Shame on you.

I’m waiting for the jokes about the Obama girls or Michele’s enormous butt.

Sarah Palin’s abstinence parenting resulted in her daughter getting pregnant at age 17. When she teaches her daughters how to avoid pregnancy, then they’ll avoid being the butt of jokes like these. It’s not David Letterman’s fault that Sarah Palin’s daughter had a predictable response to her abstinence-only upbringing! I think it’s time for SP to “evolve.” Way past time.

THE JOKES ARE NOT FUNNY..I SUGGEST YOU GET A LIFE. MOST EVERYONE IS DEFENDING THE KIDS…

I WOULD DEFEND ANY KID,, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE.

Oh please people - grow up - it was a joke, and it was a joke because she has a child that was pregnant, unmarried, and they are supposed to stand for family values. Get it? It was a hot topic that Bristol was unmarried and pregnant during the election - so there are going to be jokes. Her family is in the spotlight, so they need to get used to these things.

I have always thought David Letterman to be the best late night show host..that has changed now. I feel he could find lots of other things to joke about instead of a fourteen year old girl…i’m sure she will be marked for life with this joke by peers. I have a daughter this same age and it is hard enough dealing with everyday pressures without adding uncalled for comments. I think itadmirable for her to endure all that she (Palin) has already hed to endure just because she is a woman trying to do her job and make a diffence. Im sure this comment would not have been made about Obamas daughter. I think Sarah Palin deserves some peace and let her continue with her life…she has not intentionally hurt anyone. All she is quilty of is trying to have a successful campaign that she was priviledged enough to have been chosen for.She is humen just like the rest of us..if you want to be concerned about anyone we all better be watching the one that got elected!!

DAVE IS A LIBERAL,,,OF COURSE HE DOESN’T LIKE SARAH, SHE IS A CONSERVATIVE.

IT IS TOTALLY WRONG WHAT DAVE DID.

SARAH IS A GOOD WOMAN AND A GOOD GOVERNOR….THE STATE OF ALASKA IS FINANCIALLY DOING BETTER THAN THE OTHER STATES. SHE IS VERY SMART.

I ADMIRE SARAH AND I ADMIRE HER FOR TAKING A STANCE AGAINST PERVERTS LIKE DAVE AND COMMENTORS THAT SIDE WITH DAVE ARE ALSO PERVERTS,,,YOU COMMENTORS HAVE NO MORALS IF YOU THINK IT IS OKAY TO INSULT CHILDREN.

ONLY PERVES LIKE HIS HUMOUR AND I JUST READ THE COMMENTS OF THOSE DEFENDING DAVE AND THE COMMENTS READ PERVE, FILTHY, POTENTIAL CHILD MOLESTORS ALL OVER YOUR COMMENTS.

I AM FOR ALL CHILDREN AND CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE MADE THE TARGET OF CRUEL EVIL JOKES.

YOU COMMENTORS WHO SIDE WITH DAVE HAVE NO MORALS, NO COMPASSION AND YOUR MINDS ARE IN THE GUTTER..THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES OF WHO YOU ARE,,,YOU ARE NO GOOD, DISGUSTING, FILTHY PIGS…READ YOUR OWN COMMENTS AGAIN…YOU ARE NO GOOD


- YOU ARE NO GOOD, DISGUSTING, FILTHY PIGS…

Hey - tootie,

I suggest you get your head out of your a** and come back to reality.

this is not a spelling bee contest you dumb a** b*tch.

this is about protecting our children from perverts like you too Tootie.


- Hey - tootie,

Why is it that the anti Letterman, pro Palin comments are written by folks who can’t spell. Hmmmm. Interesting.

Letterman should be taken off of the air immediately. No passing go, no collecting $250, just gone. Does anyone remember Don Imus? He made a politically incorrect remark and he was gone. The statement Letterman made was politically incorrect PLUS it attacked the children of a public figure (14 or 18, it doesn’t matter) in the saddest sort of way. Go away Letterman. You are a sicko!

I guess Levi would agree with David. He too knocked up his girlfriend without a care to how it would affect her life. David knocked up Regina. The difference is, Levi was a hot headed kid and David was not. David has taken five years to marry the mother of his child, maybe Levi will make something of himself and do the same. I am in Sarah Palin’s corner here, and I hope that Levi doesn’t get an invitation to be on anymore shows. He shouldn’t be rewarded for his poor behavior. And, I hope his son doesn’t suffer from all this exposure. David Lettermen was wrong, but then he has made the knocked up error himself and he doesn’t even play baseball.

hey Linda, you are wrong. Levi himself has said that he shares the parenting duties with Bristol. Linda, you are telliing lies. Get off your soap box and give credit where credit is due. Linda, you are a desparate Dave fan and you have to resort to lies to bad mouth Sarah.

Levi himself has said in interviews that he sees his son whenever he wants to and he is a good dad.

Linda,,your lies will not work for me, it just shows that you are a no good liar trying to discredit Sarah.

Sarah is a good mom and she deeply care for her kids.

Dave, you are a dirty old bag and so is Linda and so are your fans that stick up for you.


- Linda, you are a NO GOOD LIAR

I can’t believe all the negativity and comments here over a joke that a writer wrote and was a poor joke written in bad taste - people do make mistakes. The wrong daughter was used in the joke. There are a lot of comedians that make jokes about anyone who are in the public that tend to be harsh but there is no need to get upset over it. What is the problem it’s a joke

I think everyone is over reacting. Sarah Palin is way out there in left field and is over over reacting and making an issue and innuendoes just to stay in the public eye. I think Sarah is just sensitive.

I think everyone has forgotten about the breaking news about Sarah Palin’s oldest daughter pregnancy. During the campaign we all found out that the older daughter was pregnant before Sarah Palin said anything about her daughter’s pregnancy. Didn’t Sarah Palin during one of her speeches introduce her family told everyone that her older daughter was pregnant not married and commented after we all found out that her daughter was pregnant that she just got engaged. This was done on the advice of someone running the campaign to Sarah Palin because she was running for office with McCain.

We later found out that after the campaign that Sarah’s older daughter broke off her engagement and now the family is keeping the father away from his daughter and we all think that’s ok to keep a father away from his daughter especially when the father is a nice guy. Do we think that’s ok hmmm.

I think we all need to calm down. Stop picking and saying nasty things about David Letterman he is a great entertainer. His comedy is just to make you think, to point out certain situations that make sense then joke about it. That is what all comedians do. What about all the jokes that all the other Comedians were doing about our last President. That was only done to open everyone’s eyes. Now the comedians can’t find jokes to make on our new President and are disappointed that they don’t have material to use in their act.

We are all not perfect, we all make mistakes. Sarah Palin is just over the top, sensitive, over reacting, blowing this all out of proportion. Sarah Palin if she was decent should take David Letterman’s apology and leave it as that.

That is awful for LITTERMAN to say “slutty flight attendant”. LITTERMAN
has no respect for women..now he is into verbally asssulting young girls.

I dont see how you commentors defend LITTERMAN. If it was your child, your niece, your granddaughter, would you think it was ok for an old pervert man to make disparaging remarks about your loved one?

I would not put up with it either,,,,if LITTERMAN was an earshot from me and he made those filthy remarks about my kids….I guarantee you LITTERMAN would be singing, “ALL I WANT FOR XMAS IS MY 2 FRONT TEETH”.

AMERICA IS BECOMING THE LAND OF PERVERSION. WHERE IS THE RESPECT FOR CHILDREN?

USING KIDS FOR PERVERTED JOKES IS NOT RIGHT…IT IS DEAD WRONG.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY WHEN YOU COMMENTORS THINK IT IS OKAY TO USE CHILDREN IN PERVERTED JOKES?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, I AM FOR THE CHILDREN…THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SARAH UNTIL HER KIDS WERE MENTIONED…I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING AS SARAH.

AMERICA IS DECLINING MORALLY.

PEOPLE LIKE LITTERMAN HAVE TO KNOW THAT IT IS WRONG TO BE SAYING PERVERTED JOKES ABOUT CHILDREN.

HIS APOLOGY WAS HALF A**ED, HE WASNT SINCERE IN HIS APOLOGY.

SARAH DID THE RIGHT THING AND I ADMIRE HER FOR CALLING ATTENTION FOR ALL KIDS,,,NOT ONLY HER OWN.

AMERICA, STAND UP AND TAKE A STANCE FOR THE CHILDREN’S BEHALF. WE HAVE TO FIGHT TO KEEP CHILDREN OUT OF PERVERTED JOKES AND USING KIDS TO GET RATINGS.

CHILDREN ARE OFF LIMITS,,,,THAT IS NOT HUMOUR.

I think Letterman is not at all funny and is a pig. He’s also a hypocrit; He “knocked” up his girlfriend and didn’t marry her for 5 or 6 years. The liberal media NEVER mentioned that.
They also never say anything negative about Obama or the Democratic party….they only go after the Republicans. Letterman should
be fired for his insensitive and overt sexual comments about women. Maybe enough people will get sick and tired of the liberal media and these idiot commediens who get away with too much.
I will NEVER watch Letterman…….he’s a total idiot.
