I see David L finally apologized
 

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 !

What was said is ok because someone on the "other side" said something !

Simply amazing !

Have you seen the picture? Probably Not!!!

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 !

Deleted because it just ain't worth it.

Absolutely agree with you, Bucco....

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.

Boomer

Boomer!

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..

Yeah, like Don Imus !!

or Steve Lyons, fired as sportscaster at Fox for making insensitive hispanic remark ! IN JEST

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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!!!

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

You know what they say when you get in a urinating contest
 

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

btk

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!

Don't ya just love these old crusty one sentence responses? It isn't easy taking up space and time..is it? Try doing it for 3 hours without getting a little stir crazy once in a while.
The lefties tried to talk on the radio but they were so bad that their ratings just tumbled....Much easier to criticize.:beer3:

And a few hundred Vicoden and a couple of blue pills thrown in.

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 !

Look....the picture was sent by a GOP staffer...it is racist. End of story.

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

Why can't certain people stay on the subject???

Edit....Not you Bucco...I have the wrong quote up there...

I have deleted three posts that contained the picture.

We will not publish it on Talk of The Villages.

Tony

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......

So I said Letterman was wrong.... the picture was racist..it got deleted from this website enough said. You like links so here is one on 2 comments made by the GOP in South Carolina. What about these remarks....

http://www.thestate.com/politics/story/830664.html

Its not Huffington

This post is beyond comment

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.

COLOGAL...what is your intent here ?

The Letterman thing was just in the news...and all you can talk about is what the "other guy" did...what is it that you are trying to say ? You continually harp on party party party.....what is your point PLEASE ! Both parties and celebs do stupid things...we all know that. Why must you always try to "keep score" ?

A racist picture sent by private email is ok? That explains it.
