I see David L finally apologized

[Guest]

On the radio this morning they were saying can you imagine the fallout if DL made that comment about the Obama family. I thought to myself I think he knows better. Obama would make the show take TARP money, he’d fire DL and replace him with a comedy czar.

LOL That's a good one. Lettermen stopped being a comedian a long time ago. His show has been nothing but a political stage for the democrats. He is an activist plain and simple and his network is also to blame.
Think about it: If your in the business to attract people for money (advertisers) why would you turn-off 50% of your audience? That is positive proof that the network has an agenda.
The same with the movies....Hollywood made around 8 anti-war movies during the Bush years. They all lost money in the theaters. Apparently, making money and capitalism were not their driving force.
Johnny Carson must be shaking his head and rolling his eyes. Both sides of the aisle could laugh at his jokes.

Actually Johnny Carson died a while back.....and how long will it take for the GOP to apologize for the Michelle Obama ape remark and the spook picture the Tenn GOP staffer circulated. With out a doubt racist.

This is what I just love about politics today !

Simply amazing !

[Guest]

Probably not is a good guess !

Why would I want to see it ? What would be the reasoning for anyone to go and see it ?

Letterman is an idiot....the others you mention are idiots and although you are a party gal...it does not matter the party...those who say these stupid inane things are just plain stupid and it does not matter their politics !

Why you would defend Letterman with a comeback about....what the others guys did is simply amazing !

[Guest]

I didn't see or read what he said or how he apologized, I just think its disgusting, no matter which side you are on, to talk about people's families or the way they look. Its rude and uncalled for. Matter of fact, I haven't thought Letterman has been funny for years and I never equated it to his politics, he just ISN'T funny!
A few years back, Richard Simmons was on his show, and Richard's mother had just past away. Well, Letterman was so rude to him about, you had a mother?, and other stupid jokes, that it made Richard cry. Now, I am not a Richard Simmons fan, but I just try to treat each and every individual the way I would want to be treated, and he was disgusting and rude. I never watched that show again, nor will I ever. That's my 2 cents. Oops, am I in political? Boomer, get me outta here. Its past my bedtime.

[Guest]

Really, agenda and activist? Some sort of buzz words? When Sarah Palin started parading those kids around during the campaign, they, unfortunately, were made fair game by HER! Of course, your immediate remarks that if it were something about Obama everyone would be up in arms. He didn't parade around a pregnant 17 year old like Palin did to use for HER agenda that this girl is a poster child against abortion. She certainly wasn't a poster child for "just say no!" Just admit it, a politician is just that, a politician! They would use their own mothers to forward their agendas. If a television personality makes a poor joke, then chide the jokester and don't support his programming anymore. Why is it a political conversation to begin with?

OH NO!!!!! Kathie! Kathie! Kathie! I was just getting ready to log out, turn off the iPod and hit the sack when I saw your name come up in the political forum.

And I thought, "Heeeeere I come to saaaave the daaaay!!! Boomer is on her waaaaay."

Kathie! Kathie! Kathie!! Picture me with the cyberhook!!!! I am dragging you out of here. I only come in on the full moon mostly. But I am here to drag you out.

I do not know what Letterman said either. Do not even think about Letterman. Letterman is from Indiana. You would think he would have good sense and manners. He went to Ball State I think. He was in a class with a friend of mine. (Or was that Jane Pauley?? Or was that the Garfield guy????) Letterman has been making my skin crawl for a few years and so I never watch him anymore. He is past his prime. I hate to say that. Because he was in a class with a friend of mine. My friend is not past his prime. Oh nooooo. I am babbling. (I don't like Palin either. She caused me to break up with John. Had to write that Dear John letter. Ohhhh, I am babbling bad. It is after midnight.) Kathie!! Kathie!! Here comes the cyberhook. It comes for you.

I was having the exact same thoughts but you said them better even if you were up too late. I especially agree that someone from Indiana should have better manners. We Ohio and Indiana people generally have excellent manners up to right before we kill you.

Only here would it be considered Political. But you are dead on with the agenda she had. But it was said as a joke, maybe DL isnt what he use to be. But it dont matter. I would hate to see how this country woud look if everytime someone made a bad remark or joke about someone it made headlines.

But now a days you can spin anything into a political debate..

There’s one thing the main stream left has always done very well. Viscous personal attacks and character assassination by the political and media attack dogs. Both sides do it but left takes it to a whole new level. If you have opposing political views they will rip you apart limb from limb including your kids spouse and anyone else close to you.

Look at what the left wing media did to Joe the Plumber. It wasn’t two days after his conversation with OB that the drive by media started to rip him apart including investigating his tax returns, his business, personal life and anything else they could dig up. All because of a simple question he asked. At the time he was a nobody.

What did Sarah Palin ever do to anyone? She was nothing more than a VP candidate and Governor of Alaska. To this very day left wing talking heads, Hollywood personalities, comedians, news reporters, etc are still hammering away at her. I think I know why though. She’s a Christian Conservative mother who happens to be a very popular Governor and to the left that make her the anti-Christ.

Miss California was asked a direct question about her personal views on marriage. Career over.

Fact is, if you are a Christian Conservative especially in politics and oppose OB and his left-wing henchman, you better get ready because they will come after you and your family too.

The left always accuses the Republications of being intolerant. The truth is I think liberals especially liberals in government and media are some of the most intolerant angry people I have ever seen. Cross them and you better get ready because if it doesn’t fit their ideology, they will do everything possible to silence and discredit you.

The media double standard is unbelievable.

[Guest]

These days you can start a political debate/argument by saying "it sure is a nice day today".

It would veer off into global warming, whether or not it was nicer when someone else was president, will it be nicer in the future when we get rid of the current pres. etc., etc.

Exactly. When somebody made a crack about Chelsea Clinton the media circled their wagons and she was off the table for good. BHO says that his two daughters are off the table...media responds. When they go after Mrs. Palin's children...it is OK. Can't you guys see the hypocrisy?????

__________________________________________

It has been my observation when an individual can't support a position with facts or just render an opinion on the subject matter, the comments turn political because that's where the individual is an "expert" of their agenda. Getting back to DL, as a women and mother I am very offended by DL's comment about Palin's young daughters. Even though Palin's daughters are in the public eye, he definitely crossed the line. Palin's acceptance of DL's apology and the comments Palin made in support of her acceptance of DL's apology are admirable.

[Guest]

mac9, it's ok when Chelsea was paraded around, she was off limits, the Bush daughters were not, the Obama daughters are off limits, Palin's are not. Are you blind? Why is there a double standard? Imus gets fired for a stupid remark that didn't come close to the vile crap from Letterman. I don't care if Palin's daughter was 30, to infer that she was a slut, got knocked up at a ball game should be grounds for dismissal. Just like Imus, just like Nick the Greek. Because Palin's kids were on stage with her makes them fair game? Obama's daughters were also paraded around the stage. Does that make them fair game? And how about Brittany Spear's 14 year old sister who when she became pregnant was featured in a lengthy People Magazine article that described how beautiful the occasion was. Why is it a political conversation to begin with? Because your compatriots made it so.

[Guest]

No, JJ, I am not blind. They are all fair game if the parents chose to make them public figures. Comparing Brittany's sister to Palin's daughter is ludicrous. Brittany's sister is in show business. Publicity is publicity. Ad people are paid to get things in the news. I saw the clip of DL's remarks. The word slut was never used. As to the Bush daughters, I believe only the one who chose to drink underage and make a fool of herself was publicly chided. Give it a break already.

[Guest]

Oh I see every thing clearly now. If Obama takes his daughters to a baseball game and the next day Rush says that a baseball player raped one or both of Obama's daughters during the 7th inning stretch, we should all laugh and giggle and say " old Rush said a good funny today, huh? heheheheheh" :confused:

[Guest]

Al Gore's son had several missteps, but that was given very little attenton. Cheslea Clinton had some drinking episodes, but did you ever see anything in the MSM about them??? Double standard. NAH!!!

[Guest]

Keedy, I'm glad to see that you too think that Rush is a comedian!

with a skunk......you can't win. Same for the partisan politics credo....if you are not with me you must be against me.

Yes, Rush has his funny moments. He likes to inject a little humor into his great insights. And he usually beats his opponents with half his brain tied behind his back.:beer3:

Yes, Keedy, that is because his brain begins in his lower back!

Never mind COLOGAL....I found the story !!!

Seems an aide to a state senator in Tenn sent this using the wrong email from and to and the state senator is being called upon to fire this aid, which is the right thing to do.

However it hardly comes even close to "a picture circulated by the GOP."

However, if your logic was used imagine how those in 2006 who flooded Virginia with lies about voting on armor for the troops to defeat Allen....or in 2004 when the ACTUAL DEMOCRATIC party sent out phoney emails in a game of gay baiting.

Of course both parties do it but you can only see ONE side as always, and again the point of this thread was that a SITTING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES...A PRESIDENT...after 5 months in office made a statement about a network not supporting what he wants to do. Dont even know if it is true but having a PRESIDENT make this statement TWICE in 5 months is pretty newworthy !

[Guest]

Big deal. Have you seen the mean and hurtful things circulated around the web last 8 years. Pictures altered of Mr. Bush to look like a chimpanzee, dunce and everything else despicable have been common everywhere. President Bush never once cried like a baby like this guy does. Just the other day he cried because Fox News station dares not to bow down to him and asks the same hard questions all presidents are expected to answer.
Stop the belly-aching.barf

PS. It is still funny!!!


Now you know that does not count Keedy ! THAT is ok....for some folks the party is before everything !

I believe this thread started about the joke that Letterman made. I just made the comment about the GOP picture and comments about Michelle Obama. Why are you all upset about those?

Then the comment was made that I deleted a post....so I posted the picture circulated by the GOP.

It was a racist picture that should not have been created much less sent out.

So I get from this that bad jokes on Late Night TV should not be made but racist pictures are ok......

Apples and oranges. A private e-mail seen by how many? As compared to a "joke" broadcast around the world on Satellite and Cable Television. I find it tedious to explain things that should be obvious to the most casual of posters.

I find this post funny....keeping score. LOL.

My point is this that violence and hate speech is on the rise since Obama got elected. Liberal churches have been shot up, a doctor killed, the President threatened and a security guard at the Holocaust killed. Why was there no post on TOTV about the attack on the Holocaust museum?

If you are outraged about the Palin remarks why not outrage about the attack on the museum?

Nobody is stopping you. You can start a post on a crazy man attacking a museum anytime you want. Just like I can start a post on a crazy man who shot President Regan getting new privileges which was on the news yesterday.

Your memory is short and convenient !

You obviously forget the videos, movies etc on the entire Bush family including the first lady.

Why are you so outraged that someone posted about the Letterman remarks ? Why does that anger you so ? You seem to be so filled with rage about this particular story.

Why do you assume that everyone is blase about the stories you mention ? What do they have to do with the Letterman story in ANY WAY ?

You are so filled with hate and partymania that it SEEMS, not sure, but sure seems as if you believe that the Republican party is up to all these things....that the only bad things are happening to liberals....that the conservative devils are behind everything...that anyone who does not kneel at the feet of the current administration is somehow a very very bad person and cannot have any feelings at all !

You need a new pair of glasses, some that are not so filled with hate and not so party colored. How you can take people to task on TOTV for not posting about everything that upsets you is amazing. Why did nt you post something about them ?

Why do you feel that because somebody began this thread that they are somehow not sympathetic to other stories, which is exactly what you imply ?

I will take back my HATE comment as that is a strong word.

I will restate that there is a strong affliation with one party and a total distaste for another ! Not sure how folks like this feel about THE COUNTRY but we know about the parties.

I opposed President Obama based on one thing...his idealogy and did it for the same reasons before he got the nomination. I did not support McCain and surely have critiqued our last president. I say all of this because party politics is a large part of the problem in this country !

If Obama takes his daughters to a baseball game and the next day Rush says that a baseball player raped one or both of Obama's daughters during the 7th inning stretch, we should all laugh and giggle and say " old Rush said a good funny today, huh? heheheheheh" :confused:

?????????????? nothing like strecthing it out ... :shrug:

Thanks Tony for taking the photo out!! I am pretty sure that Cologal put the photo on to make a point to rebutt some post that were made.

With that in mind, what was the title of this thread anyway??? I think one could gain senior member status in this thread. I think we started with DL saying sorry for a remark, and we have just about ended up at Civil War status. DL made a remark, wether it was wrong or not, who cares. I for the life of me can not see it as being political. who ever sent the photo or group that sent it belongs in the same boat that DL is diving to the bottom of the ocean in..

Time to get over it, move on, there are more WTF moments in the political spotlight to fight over. Lets all have a beer and be friends.. ????

I think this thread needs background music. So I stopped by to drop it off.

If you turn on your speakers, click on this link, and listen while you read here, you should see how perfectly it fits. And each listener can decide personally where the "wah-waaaaa-waaaaaa's" fit in and how the title applies. So what's not to like?

?????????????? nothing like strecthing it out ... :shrug:

Stretching it???? For years the left-side has been quoting Rush out of context, which is easy to do when you have 3 hours every day of the week. By the way,when Rush and Imus say things, it is off the cuff...totally unscripted.
David Bittermen tapes his show hours before they run it at 11:30 at nite. Me thinks he tapes at 5 PM. He has a gang of writers who's only purpose in life is to script Bittermen's show. These "jokes" are then read by the staff at CBS. Final approval goes way up the ladder before the final draft that is then fed into the teleprompter. Literally dozens of people know what Lettermen is going to say, before his dwindling audience.
Now...If you really think that is not political ( picture a room full of people laughing at the "Palin is slutty jokes") then you really don't know how TV operates.

Good luck with that.

Wowser! What a terrible comparison! Flight attendants are wholesome, helpful, kind and intelligent!

Seven pages on a late night joke! Really? See what retirement does for you!

cologal,

I may have thought some interesting things about your posts but I gotta say I really haven't noted what I perceive to be hate in any of them.

Thank you....

Kinda like when Bush called ole Adam Clymer a major league A**H*^* back in 2000 at a labor day speech. People take to much to heart. Politics is kinda like driving a race car at Bristol. You got to check your feelings at the door or they will get hurt. The day you take this stuff to hear to where it wears on you, you need to call it quits. I wish I had a dime for everytime I heard someone in the news call some one a crybaby.. My Goodness. as much as I dislike GW, It was funny when he said that.

I sure hope you dont watch The Countdown with Kieth O. you would deffinently get offended. That is the political game, cut your opponent off at the legs, that way you know they wont win..

Yes, Cologal, he was a leftist. Media coverage dried up when this fact came to light.

Thank-you Sally Jo for verifying that fact. I was 80% sure but it is always good to have it confirmed.

Actually I haven't seen anything to support that claim. He was a white supremacist and anti-Semite.

Could either of you provide a link.

Here is my research so far.

The British National Party is a far right political party in England.

His being a leftist doesn't add up.

Haven't got a link handy but he hated President Bush, John Ma cain and Fox news and was a jew hater which I think is more to the left then right.

Like I said his ties to the White Separatist Movement leans him right rather than left...He sure was rabid Anti-Jewish..and anti government, the Fed thing...and then they found child porn on his computer.

I'm not sure his dislike of W and Fox Noise would characterize him as a leftist.

Just a wacko

What kind of talk is that? White Seperate Movement has nothing to do with republicans... On the contrary...democrats is the party of KKK member Byrd form Virginia....Also, name me a leftist that likes FOX NEWS?

As far as the child porn....I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

Never said nothing about repubs in this case. But in Colorado we did have some local repubs aligned with the movement. I really wouldn't use KKK membership against the Democrats that would be like the pot calling the kettle black. The Repubs have their own....

But just because he doesn't like Fox Noise does not a leftest make

So, that is Colorado. I bet there are democrats in that state that aligned with that movement, too. What does that mean? Democrats in the past were big into the KKK. Remember that Lincoln was a republican. Senator Byrd is or was a proud member of KKK in Virginia. No one party has a monopoly on racism or hate.
By the way...Show me a few lefttists who admire Fox News. I have never heard a socialist left-leaning democrat say anything good about Fox.

Yes but you don't have to be a socialist left-leaning democrat to bash Fox Noise.

Lets start with "Fair and Balanced"...nothing could be further from the truth. Even your post states its where Republicans get to show an opposing view. How about EB Hill reporting that the fist pump Michelle Obama gives her husband is a terrorist sign. Not to mention Fox Noise calling the President Hussein Obama as well as Osama Obama.

When they do attempt to have a debate the opposition gets shouted down.

Yes I do tune into Fox Noise from time to time and this is what I have seen.
I'd rather watch The News Hour on PBS.

Fair minded people who don't want the New York Times influenced television news will go to Fox News to get an unbiased take. Fox News will have both democrats and republicans on their show ...where as the so-called cable news like CNN and msnbc will fill their studios with left-leaning bleeding heart liberals who see the world according to the socialist elite.
PBS should have been shut-down decades ago as it is a stain on the american taypayers.

I think you should read this article about Fox's Chief anchor man, Shepard Smith....He is so fair that he gets death threats from the extreme right:
Edit: He was just signed to a new 3 year contract.

[Guest]

Cologal, that's my point. FNC is the only place that Republicans get a fair chance to give their views. As for calling Obama, Osama Obama I don't know if anyone at FNC called him that or not, but I do know that Teddy Kennedy did, twice.

[Guest]

and as pointed out even done by the likes of Ted K......but seized opon as an overt act when the partisan blurrrrrr is applied.

If one does not believe the media is in a totally different mode than when Bush was POTUS, just simply take note of the amount of coverage given Obama.....daily and multiple times daily. And when was the last time any of the national letter name news media ever held Obama's feet to the fire for things he (Obama) said and promised but has now ignored or dis regarded.
Opinions can be expressed for either party or points of view....what is obvious to most any open minded human with a pulse is what is not said about what this current president does and does not do that have any negative connotation what so ever.

That will not last for ever.....even the apathetic Americans will tire of the daily shine him up keep him looking good no matter what media.

Could you provide a link to any article alleging that Kennedy called Obama that? I will search to see if I can find anything.

I really don't understand the comment that Fox is the only place Republicans can get their message out. I see Republican's on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and PBS being interviewed. I can't get anything on AM radio but Rush, Hannity and quite a few other conservative talkers. Glen Beck was on MSNBC or CNN until he moved to Fox.

Really haven't you seen the over the top screaming matches on Fox. I have watched quite a few....

You don't remember the fluff pieces on President Bush? EXAMPLES: Bush gets a hamburger with Vice President Cheney. Bush gets ice cream cones with his daughters. Bush goes golfing ..what a great swing he has.Bush takes Laura to New York for anniversary. Bush comes down to chat with reporters. Bush takes a midnight stroll through garden with Laura. etc. etc.
And Bush was always complaining about the news media. Also, Bush blamed everything that went wrong on Clinton.
Boy...do we have short memories........

Yep, it drifted to Fox News and political bias. I guess it is to be expected in a political forum. I did a little browsing into the archives and found it to be a common phenomenon. :shrug:

Cologal, Bobfl beat me to it. i was just getting ready to post this news conference. Obviously it was a slip of the tongue, but the point is that if it is a Repub it is blown way out of proportion. Yes, there is shouting on FOX. BOTH sides are trying to make their point. There is no shouting on the other channels because the panelist are all in agreement. Sometimes there is a token RINO that is outnumbered.

You are so right Sally Jo. Bill O'Reilly invites all people no matter their political persuasion. I think he even had Obama on his show. And he usually lets the guest have the last word.

I have to disagree with that diagnosis. As a Massachusetts resident all of my life, I can tell you with certainty that this guy has been bumbling speeches for over 40 years. Most apologists have used his alcoholism for an excuse.

[Guest]

I find a conversation about Fox News in this context to be rather funny !

I put this in the same catagory as the move to silence talk radio frankly. Then I read that in today's news conference there was coordination between the WH and Huffington to have a coordinated exchange between the President and the reporter.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/michaelcalderone/0609/Obama_calls_on_HuffPost_for_Iran_question.html

Now this stuff has happened before, and it surely isnt shocking in and of itself, but this is a President who said a lot during the campaign about the politics and the transparency, etc, and has shown himself to be somewhat of a storyteller as he does the opposite of what he says.

Then we have people attack Fox news and my question to them would be .....are you attacking the presentation of facts OR are you speaking of those folks who do commentary ?

If you are speaking of the news broadcasts, I would challenge you to submit some examples....IF you are speaking of those who do commentary....different story. But I ask you to listen to the hate mongers on MSNBC in the evening and ask you which of the two networks is CLOSER to fair !! Easy answer I think !

Sally Jo.... I found that one also pretty quick but alas it was really late. Also found a reference to Mitt using it and he took a hit according to the link.

One of the Sunday shows I watch is This Week....they rarely yell but on PBS Friday nights there is a round table I used to watch but I gave up because the all scream at each other.

I guess I am more into calm discussions....
