Heed these words David Letterman: NOT. ON. OUR. WATCH.
Great Merciful Zeus, you will not get away with calling a sitting Governor “a slutty flight attendant”.
You will not get away with making jokes about a sitting Governor’s teenage daughter — or ANYONE’S daughter, for that matter — being raped by baseball players in New York.
You are a vile, disgusting, perverse, leftist of the worst order, David Letterman, on a show that stopped being funny back when we were in high school 15 years ago.
It is our determined goal to use the platform we have here to encourage everyone who reads this to stand up to David Letterman and CBS in the days ahead so they get the message that the misogynistic and sexist attacks leveled against women like Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton will no longer be tolerated.
Regardless of what you think about Palin personally — we implore you to consider this: even if you are someone who comes here and does not support the Guv like we do, you need to realize that until we can mobilize men and women alike to scream MISOGYNIST! and SEEEEXXXXXXIST! with the same vigor and volume the black community marshals whenever it perceives RAAAACISM! anywhere, then we will never have a female president.
We were slow to mobilize in response to the attacks on Hillary Clinton in the primaries because, honestly, screaming and yelling and carrying on like harridans is not who we are. However, we learned VALUABLE lessons from the black community in 2008, and the sheer abject terror they hold the MSM in. The networks and newspapers are so terrified of being called RAAAAAACIST!, so bullied by threats of boycotts, that Al Sharpton so much as farts and the suits at CBS would be down on their knees looking for more beans to feed him.
Women on BOTH sides of the political aisle need to come running whenever ANY woman in politics is attacked by the likes of David Letterman.
Clinton supporters: you need to have Sarah Palin’s back.
Palin supporters: you need to have Hillary Clinton’s back.
We need to take care of each other. Someday, maybe we’ll be on opposite sides in the general election of the millennium, but to get there we need to do to the MSM what the black community has always been so effective at: we need to TERRORIZE those suits so sexism and misogyny scares them as much as accusations of RAAAAAACISM!
The only way to do that is through sponsors.
Get to work and figure out who advertises on Letterman.
Hey PUMAs, we’re talking to you.
Hey SarahPAC and Team Palin, you need to report for duty.
Here’s the plan: we get the names of all Letterman’s advertisers. Then, we start bombarding them with faxes and phone calls and letters. Boycotts of their products must be organized to send Letterman and CBS a message.
CBS is already hurting right now because of Katie Couric’s abysmal performance as anchor. The last thing they need right now is hundreds of thousands of people demanding David Letterman’s head.
Remember what Al Sharpton, John Lewis, James Clyburne, Spike Lee, and the rest of the race-baiters did to Don Imus for his nappy-headed remark?
What Letterman said is WORSE than that — yet he knows women will forever be divided by social issues on different camps across the political aisle, and will never mobilize the way the black community does under its race-baiters.
We need to join forces and hit back EVERY TIME someone like Letterman attacks a Palin or Clinton out there. If we keep that up, we can elect a female president in 2012 or 2016…Hillary or Sarah, Palin or Clinton.
But it won’t happen if we just sit on the couch angry at that over-paid, underperforming, gasbag on TV.
We need to work together and make some noise people.
Use this thread to start the ball rolling, and tell us what YOU are going to do to swat back at the vulgar fly hosting the Late Show.
Just imagine if instead of a slutty flight attendant joke, Letterman made cracks about watermelon and fried chicken, and instead of Palin’s daughter being raped by baseball players, he made the joke about Sasha or Malia. The black community would band together and have his cracker ass off the air by morning.
What will women — and the men who stand with them — do?
June 9, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Oh my God, I could cry… I am with you, let me get my bearings and I will get back to you with what I can find out…
You are correct, Not on our watch.

Here is the link to John Ziggler’s podcast with Sarah ‘Cuda’ Palin.
She was on the second hour on 9 June. I heard this live since I follow John….amazing interview — listen the whole hour:

June 9, 2009 at 8:43 pm
here’s a link to send the late show an email…let ‘em have it hillbuzzers…i need to breathe before i write them because every other word will be *bleep*!
http://lateshow.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/show_info/contact/
June 9, 2009 at 8:49 pm
MIA -
It is the show’s advertisers that matter….and the ad agencies who make the ads for those products.
THAT is where the money is…if we target the advertisers who are already having bad years, then maybe we can get them to drop the Letterman show. Just start hitting one after another until they stop paying to keep this sick, sick, twisted pervert on the air.
One by one…take them all down…stop buying their products and make their CEOs’ lives living Hells.
THAT is how we hit back at CBS and David Letterman.
June 9, 2009 at 10:33 pm
i’m on it, coach. ;)
June 10, 2009 at 9:36 am
How about the Yankees and Alex Rodriguez? They were also smeared with the “joke” about 14 year old Willow Palin. We could also send letters/emails to them letting them know they should call Letterman out for his hate “jokes”
June 9, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Thanks, Mia! Writing now…
HILLBUZZ: Standing ovation! I’ll do what I’ve always done–call men AND women out on their sexist and misogynist behavior. Only now I’ll do it louder than ever.
HILLBUZZERS: What say we also stand up for our gay brothers and sisters, too? I always have, and I always will.
June 9, 2009 at 11:18 pm
I’m in,
Garlic, let’s give them hell!
June 9, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Thanks, sent them my angry note.
June 10, 2009 at 12:57 am
Same here
June 10, 2009 at 6:15 am
Me too. Go team!
June 9, 2009 at 8:48 pm
First step, go to Letterman’s home page on the Internet and anybody who advertises on the page needs to get a letter or email.
DiTech
Lexus
Earn My Degree
True Credit by TransUnion
Capitol One
LasikPlus
Embassy Suites
EBay
ancestry.com
This is a few of the banner headlines on the web page. Need to start looking for addresses and names of CEO’s, etc.
It would be helpful if someone could DVR the show and make a list of advertisers so we can do the research on them, also.
We can make a difference if we all work together.
June 9, 2009 at 8:52 pm
We need to commit the next month to this as a special project. It will take a month of sustained work on this to make an impact.
If we work together, we can get the 9 advertisers that Mizzou has listed to pull their support for Letterman. As we see those names disappear from his home page, we will know we are making a difference.
We need to organize everyone who is sick of the sexism and misogyny on the left to stand up and shout Letterman and his ilk down — just the way the black community organizes overnight to scream and yell when they perceive RAAAAAACISM!
The reason they get such a quick response is because they have such great follow-through. When attacks are directed at women, women don’t do anything.
NOT. THIS. TIME.
June 9, 2009 at 10:08 pm
I just wrote CBS and the FCC. I will get to these advertisers, too.
June 9, 2009 at 9:13 pm
OK then. I’ll go back on the site and send my CBS letter to these advertisers, too.
June 9, 2009 at 10:43 pm
garlic–what did your letter say? i’m horrible at writing these things…can i copy and paste? and PLAGARIZE???????? hahah
June 9, 2009 at 10:54 pm
ME TOO!!…………..LOL
June 9, 2009 at 11:43 pm
I posted a draft letter below – feel free to use it (see post #28)
June 9, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Thanks, Mizzou. On it.
June 10, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Thank you for bringing this important matter to our attention.
I can confirm to you that Ancestry.com is not an advertiser or sponsor of the CBS Late Show with David Letterman.
It is unclear how the company’s name ended up on this list, but it appears to be a mistake.
We would appreciate your help in spreading the correct information.
Thanks,

Stopped being funny 15 years ago? You’re being generous. I stopped watching 20 years ago… his schtick was getting old then.
Fast forward 20 years, and he’s nothing more than a bitter, perverse douche nozzle with a life view so small he has to resort to such vulgar remarks.
June 9, 2009 at 8:56 pm
P.S. The worst thing about it is that the left won’t raise a fuss about it, because it is Sarah Palin.
Take his filthy joke, mark out Willow’s name and fill in Sasha or Malia… not so funny now, eh, Lefties?
Disgusting
June 9, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Excellent comparison. They would hit the roof and demand apologies and a firing.
June 9, 2009 at 8:56 pm
I am in action.
I hate his show, and never watch it, but I will tonight, and I will write down every sponsor and do my part.
And to think he used to be funny.
Now he’s just an ugly, old, woman hater.
Come to think of it, he used to be a young funny woman hater.
LOSER.
I hope his heart bipass blows up.
On air.
Jerk.
June 9, 2009 at 9:01 pm
Remember what happened to Tim Russert, another vile pig with a bad heart who hated women and used misogyny as his favorite tool to advance Dr. Utopia.
June 9, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Sorry he died, but he was definitely a woman hater.
So sick of this crap.
June 9, 2009 at 10:36 pm
hell, the way they talk about him now, you’d think he was all that and a bag a potato chips…just because someone dies doesn’t make them a saint…case in point with russert…
June 10, 2009 at 6:19 am
The Goddess works in mysterious ways. Yes She does. And She is not afraid to whoop some ass.
Sometimes She uses us as Her right hand….
Sent my first e-mail to CBS just now. And I’m spreading the word via my blog, and Team Sarah.
June 9, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Remember you have local sponsors who air in your television viewing area. They must be contacted also. We need people to watch all over the nation, because there are different advertisers due to the region and demographic make up.
I am in mid-Missouri and will watch this evening and post the list on this blog and others.
I also suggest that we spread the word amongst our other like-minded blogs to take up the fight, too.
I had another thought, also, and although probably a waste of time, but every person that appears on his show (especially the women) should receive a special little note from us, too.
June 9, 2009 at 9:07 pm
I mean local sponsors whose commercials air during his show. Sorry, I am just so damned mad, I can’t think straight. He is such a bastard.
June 9, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Tammy Says:
“And to think he used to be funny.

Never thought he was funny.
June 9, 2009 at 11:26 pm
Agreed. I’ve never thought mean-spiritedness was funny …. even back as far as Don Rickles. Why is saying mean things funny to anyone?
Well … okay … exception for Michelle Obama and her wardrobe.
June 9, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Wow, you are fast.
Count on me to do my part.
June 9, 2009 at 9:01 pm

They may want to renegotiate
June 11, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Maybe now they’ll just dump his ass.
June 9, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Call everyone you know who was offended by that remark, and ask them to send an email, personal letter or protest in NY.
Then, tomorrow morning, the CBS phones need to be assaulted with phone calls of complaints about Letterman.
Do it.
It works.
He HATES women, and it’s obvious.
And his “rape” insinuations against Palin’s daughter by a baseball player are SICK.
Call.
Email.
DO IT!
That’s the way it works, folks.
Hillbuzz, I didn’t work for Hillary, but I worked in Hollywood, and that’s how this poser got elected.
June 9, 2009 at 9:08 pm
The best method is calling to the local news.
I know this because I saved a wetland doing this.
Yeah, I know I’m a Republican, but I know what works.
Follow my lead and the lead of Hillbuzz.
Call.
Write.
Complain online.
And do it over and over and over again.
NOW!!!!!!!
June 9, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Follow the lead of the black community. They are brilliant at doing this. They organize marches in lightning speed and call, call, call, write, write, write, and have Al Sharptons and Spike Lees to rile up hundreds if not thousands to wail and scream over things much, much less severe than this.
We need to be our own Sharptons and Lees. We need to be better at this than the black community is.
Remember, they won the White House by terrifying the MSM — we need to do the same damn thing.
That’s change we can believe in, people. Change we will force down CBS’ throat.
June 9, 2009 at 9:19 pm
That’s DAMN right!
Call all of your friends, and tell them to call the SPONSORS of David Letterman’s show.
Tell them to call and complain OVER and OVER.
Attack, but do it with CLASS.
I mean this, folks. It’s the only thing that works.
They treated Hillary this way, but the level of woman hatred today is MUCH more than she experienced.
STOP IT NOW.
June 9, 2009 at 9:18 pm
Greta is going to be discussing Governor Palin and David Letterman in a moment.
June 9, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Mizzou,
Please report on what Greta says for those of us without TVs….later posters, please put the YouTube clips and links as a reply to this when they come online.
June 9, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Will do.
June 9, 2009 at 9:25 pm
I’m not waiting for GRETA to tell me what to do.
This is so disgusting.
It’s like the “hate fuck” article written by Playboy.
And I’m not going to put in fake letters to show the word FUCK.
Is this the way we treat and talk about women?
Well then, let the Muslims take over!!!!(and you know I’m kidding, unless you live in a cave. Hey Osama!)
And you Republicans who claim you have morals and standards?
Do your DAMNED part.
June 9, 2009 at 9:30 pm
EVERYONE needs to do their damn part. Enough is fucking ENOUGH.
Don Imus was driven off the air for saying basketball players were nappy-headed-hos because the black community refused to take anyone’s shit.
Good. For. Them.
That was MUCH MUCH tamer than Letterman joking about a 14 year old being raped and impregnated by a grown baseball player in New York, or degrading the Governor of our largest state as a slutty flight attendant.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Battle stations, people, because it is all out war on CBS — this is now our official collective job — to stick it to CBS SHARPTON-STYLE.
June 10, 2009 at 2:50 am
HB…I’ve been working all day on this..You guys look pumped up..That’s good, I just got the last bit of red out of my eyes, and now I can really focus. Let’s do this thing. I’ve already sent many letters, and many others I know have as well..Time to hit the advertisers, and I see a list growing on his page alone…Keep us all posted as to what you guys are doing, and I can get some people to back up your efforts…CBS, meet a whole bunch of people that have been putting up with a whole bunch of disrespect for a long time..They will no longer treat our sister and her children in this manner. NO MORE!!!
June 10, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Ck out Gretchen Letterman at St Pete Times.
June 9, 2009 at 9:23 pm
OMG!
I just heard about this..
what a f**king disgusting piece of shit that man is!
I am embarassed to even call myself an ex-democrat. Who the hell are these woman-hating POS?
why not twist and insert malia/sasha/Michelle Anoinette’s names..
and see what the reaction is!
WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO THIS COUNTRY?!?!?!?!?!?!?
June 9, 2009 at 9:39 pm

Good work Missou gal.
You are the kind of person who makes a difference in this country.
Email your protests to everyone.
Hey, you Hillbuzz folks know what that means, don’t you?
It’s late, but I will go into action tomorrow.
FUCK YOU DAVID LETTERMAN AND YOUR WOMAN-HATING FRIENDS!!!!

can someone please cross post this at teamsarah.org?
they have over 10’s of thousands of members who will spread the word and join your boycott of CBS..
thank you
June 9, 2009 at 9:34 pm
Spread the word to all sites you go too — tell the Republicans Hillary Dems know this crap well and won’t sit back and let it happen to another woman. It is time we go all out AL SHARPTON on these sick fucks….ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
June is the month the gay community in New York city said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH at Stonewall — and a drag queen led the way and just wouldn’t take one more punch from the fucks who were beating down on them.
When are women going to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?
Well, those of us in Boystown say get off your butts and make that day be TODAY. We’ve got your back…but you need to stand up on both sides of the aisle and make that sick pig Letterman be YOUR STONEWALL.
He needs to be removed from the air.
Al Sharpton could make it happen — can we?
June 10, 2009 at 2:53 am

I know, not very feminine, but appropriate
June 9, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Thanks HB..
anyone here from teamsarah.org? or anyone who has access to that site.. PLEASE PLEASE cross post this on that site..
they did the same shit to Hillary, and its even worse for Palin.. GOING AFTER a 15 YEAR OLD CHILD????
F**K THAT POS LETTERMAN.. NOTHING BUT A PIECE OF GARBAGE!
I AM SO DISGUSTED!
June 9, 2009 at 9:55 pm
I am a member there also and I just sent this post and an email to team sarah governance…hopefully they will know now…I also invited them to visit hillbuzz.org and told them they are welcome to post..hope it helps. Sent an email with this post, posted it on facebook, sent an email to WSBT the local carrier of Letterman..I am a woman and will go down to the death if I have to..not only for my life but for my two daughters who are 13 and 9…
June 9, 2009 at 10:00 pm
We could also send it to Rush, Beck, Hannity, Ingrahm all of those talkers..Malkin, etc., etc.
June 9, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Conservatives for Palin are on it and they have a post on Levin fighting back.
I’m e-mailing some gunner friends now.
June 9, 2009 at 11:29 pm
SDB, just what I was going to say …. Hannity talked about it tonight, Beck will not be amused, neither will Ingraham.
Oooo yeah, Michelle Malkin, has she written a column about it yet?
June 10, 2009 at 1:01 am
SDB,
I have been exchanging e-mails with some center-right indys, they are putting up posts tomorrow on it.
I even directed some back here. Let’s make this go viral
June 10, 2009 at 9:20 am
Unfortunately, Sean Hannity (who is not one of my favorites anyway) missed a golden opportunity last night. He had Gloria Allred on his “Great American Panel”. I don’t know if you are familiar with Gloria but, here in Southern California she is very well known. She has always been a huge feminist. Sean mentioned Letterman’s sick comments but then failed to ask Gloria her thoughts on the treatment Gov. Palin received at Letterman’s hands. I was very angry at that and sent an e-mail to Hannity calling him out for this failure to get a liberal feminist to comment on this outrage. So, it appears even those we think would naturally be up in arms over comments like Letterman’s aren’t necessarily as outraged as they should be.
June 10, 2009 at 6:23 am
I did so this morning….
And will keep pounding there.
June 9, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Here’s a list of upcoming guests for the week. I also liked the idea of contacting them as well as sponsors. But I’d just as well skip Kathy Griffin — she’ll just turn any complaint into material for her next stage show.
On the same page there is a call for applications for interns this fall. Infiltration, anyone?

Thanks MizzouGal – I just sent this out.
Dear Ms. Sartori,
I am writing to you to voice my extreme disapproval of Mr. Letterman’s remarks referring to Ms. Palin’s appearance as “slutty” and even more horrifying, joking about one of her young daughters being raped/molested by a national sports figure. This is totally inexcusable. I am in the process of writing and calling each and every advertiser of the Letterman show and it’s web site to express my extreme dissatisfaction of their support of such a misogynistic, mean-spirited show. Cruelty and support of child molestation is NOT funny, no matter what rich, spoiled celebrity voices it.
June 10, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Thanks I just started my emailing campaign begining with this person.
June 9, 2009 at 11:31 pm
Interns? I think I’d make sure no females applied for those internships, or if they did, be ready for a sexual harassment or hostile work environment suite. Heck, I’ll bet he can’t get through the interview process without being offensive.
June 9, 2009 at 9:42 pm
And I just turned on BRAVO, and I thought I would see a fashion show but instead saw a show promoting PROSTITUTION!
I’m not a born again Christian, but I believe in some decency.
Turn it on NOW, folks! Apparently prostitution is “cool”.
WTF is happening to our country???
June 9, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Greta asks if David Letterman has gone too far?
She wants to know if he has a thing against women. Duh!
They are showing the video again. Then they played Sarah Palin’s response on John Zeigler’s show. I don’t know if any of you could tell, but she was having to bite her lip and not lash out DL. As a mother, I’m not sure I could do that.
Greta then interviews Byron York and he says that both attacks by David Letterman were over the line. He said he can understand some of the jokes as being just that, jokes, but not the ones about her children.
Greta brings up Letterman’s own lack of marriage state…..and out of wedlock child.
York states that Sarah Palin causes a quite a debate within the Republican Party. He is getting a little off topic…Greta says that’s a different issue – and what they are talking about is the nasty stuff against her child and women. Byron York agrees that it was nasty and that there has been a long-standing rule that children of public figures should be off limits.
Greta asks him if Sarah Palin is a contender in the GOP for the 2012 Presidential election and Byron York says yes, definitely. “She electrifies an audience and a significant part of the Republican base continues to be loyal to her and what her message is..”
That’s pretty much it in a nutshell and isn’t the best synopsis ever….My 12 year old was trying to tell me something during the interview and I may have missed something. Children! Ha!
June 9, 2009 at 9:52 pm
And you just show us all what it’s about:
CHILDREN.
Who is going to raise them?
People like Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton.
And you women hating lefties who try to attack this site are pathetic.
I have to go to work now.
David Letterman: I feel sorry for your wife and child.
You are a sick, hateful loser.
June 9, 2009 at 9:57 pm
By being this hateful to a child, David Letterman has certainly opened up the door for the BIG BAD KARMA to mess with him.
June 10, 2009 at 6:26 am
That is one of the reasons I support both Hillary and Sarah… they are fierce advocates for children.
And it does take a village… from BOTH sides of the aisle.
June 9, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Are we, women, going to constantly be portrayed as whores?
This is beyond decency, this is submission.
I am SICK of this.
ACT.
Call.
DO IT.
June 9, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Went to C4P and your article is linked over there. Thanks Yogi!
I’ll do some reconnaissance on some other sites, too.
June 9, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Hill Buzz Sisters — this is PUMA land over at Team Sarah. We have read through these posts regarding Letterman’s FCC violations and and WILL be doing our part to confront this pig and his sponsors. Count on it.
June 9, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Has anyone compiled a list of Letterman’s advertisers that includes an email address, snail mail address, phone number and fax number? Let’s hit them by all angles.
No need for all of us to reinvent the wheel.
June 9, 2009 at 10:31 pm
More for the list….Lifelock, Bowflex, M&M’s (Mars Candy)
June 9, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Just wrote Michelle Malkin. Will do more manana.
June 9, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Other women insulted by his comment is flight attendants. What the heck does he mean by “slutty flight attendant look”?
I have contacted television stations and the FCC on other issues in the past and all I got back is the same kind of letter I get from my Congresswoman, Doris Matusi….”thank you for your concern about …….but I plan to disregard your wish anyway”. I agree that the best way is through sponsors. He must be vulnerable in ratings right now if he agreed to take a cut … seriously he makes 30-35 million?
I am so grateful for Hillbuzz and the people who post here.
June 9, 2009 at 10:56 pm
This could easily be focused only on Sarah Palin, but this problem is much bigger than that. Our message should be clear that these attacks on women and primarily conservative thinking women, should be insulting to ALL women. Women who excuse this garbage are no feminists, but rather, partisan hacks who only use women’s issues to further their own careers.
June 9, 2009 at 11:01 pm
Very true. Both conservatives AND liberals alike are being verbally bashed, and regardless of whether you like the target (or not), the trend is unsettling.
June 9, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Getting tickets to the show if you live in the Los Angeles area is relatively easy. What about a group going and then once inside holding up signs ala “code pink”??
June 10, 2009 at 9:05 am
Actually, it would be better if ALL of the ticket holders were women and as soon as he came on, everyone would walk out. I know that would be an impossibility, but can you just picture it?
June 9, 2009 at 11:24 pm
Letterman has less credibility than a flea on a sled dog’s ass. GO SARAH! You betcha!
June 9, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Someone above asked about help with a letter.
The letter needs to be short – and very blunt – to get the message across. Perhaps something along these lines might work?
Dear (Advertiser):
I am shocked to learn that your company supports the rape of young girls.
As an advertiser on the David Letterman show, you endorse his point of view; June 8th 2009 he “joked” that a female Governor of the United States is “slutty” and “joked” about her 14 year-old daughter being raped by an adult male baseball player.
I refuse to buy products from a company who supports such a vulgar, reprehensible attitude toward woman. As a result, I am emailing a copy of this letter to as many of my female friends, family, neighbors and co-workers as possible, calling for a national boycott of every single one of your products.
Shame on you.

molybdanthan posted the following letter on Wednesday, June 10th at 1:36AM EDT on Redstate…
Hello,
I am contacting you regarding your sponsorship of The Late Show with David Letterman. On June 8, 2009, his offensive humor strayed into a realm beyond all reason. He intimated that a fourteen year old girl should be sexually violated. This comment is indefensible. Providing the funding for it is likewise indefensible. Your company should not be associated with Mr. Letterman.
I would like you to immediately withdraw all ad revenue from this show until Mr. Letterman learns the error of his sick ways, and makes a formal and public apology to the family he offended, and the American viewing public.
In case you forgot, Don Imus was speedily removed from television for a racist comment he made. That may still happen in this case. In a perfect world, Mr. Letterman would no longer be on the air one minute after making his joke. The girl he insulted is a minor. Your company should not support a man that ridicules children, or sexually objectifies one for a punchline.
Actions have consequences. For the sake of the girl who was attacked, please do the right thing, and give your monetary support to a better person than David Letterman. Withhold your ads, and help him to see the light.
Thank you,
June 10, 2009 at 8:45 am
Lynn, Thank you. :)

Has anyone written Tammy Bruce?
June 10, 2009 at 12:01 am
What do y’all think would be more effective– individual letters or a group letter/petition? The reason I suggest a group effort is because if we compose a letter to the sponsors and get people to sign it, then the sponsors will see we’re an organized boycott vs. a bunch of random pssed off individuals.
Just an idea…
June 10, 2009 at 12:16 am
Jen,
They say letters to corporations/political offices etc. are MUCH more effective if they are individualized. I worked in a state official’s office and the form letters/petitions did not get nearly as much attention as the personal ones. A “form letter” is a great place to start, however, I think hearing various opinions and voices will make our anti-misogyny message clearer and stronger. Hillbuzzers, speak from the heart. If you are mad as hell, let those assholes know it LOUD AND CLEAR!!!! No more Mr. Nice Guy, no more “pussy-footing” to quote our Sarah.
June 10, 2009 at 12:18 am
HB boys, fellow Hillbuzzers…. You are all HEROES!!!!
NO woman of ANY political party deserves to be treated like this. No CHILD should ever be mentioned in such a foul, vile, despicable manner. The boys are right: its time to go Al Sharpton on their asses.
June 10, 2009 at 12:39 am
Levin hits the nail on the head:
June 10, 2009 at 8:38 am
Thanks, lisarie. Last night, I was jumping up and down when I heard Levin. He took a lot of time on his show to discuss this and he was pissed. He is a good person.
June 10, 2009 at 12:51 am
I went to Redstate and spread the word of your efforts. Considering how heated the thread was on this topic over there (they are seeing red over there. No pun intended.), I am sure you will have quite a bit of support from them in your pursuit to end this nastiness.
Do we know if anyone has called NOW about this? When Elizabeth Hasselback called them about the Playboy article, they issued a statement condemning Playboy. It certainly isn’t the same as the splash they would have made in the MSM had the article been about liberal women. But at least they took a stand condemning it. I guess my point is that it needs to be publically brought to their attention so that NOW is forced to comment on it. Preferably by Greta, Mrs. Hassleback, Ms. Kelly or any of the other female news women.
The other female politicans need to speak out against this as well. Gov, Senator, Rep… it doesn’t matter. All of them need to stand up and say these comments were inappropiate.
And as much as I HATE facebook, if you have an account post a comment about your outrage on DL’s comments. It will show up on all of your friends pages and will spread the word to those who may not pay much attention to the news or DL.
June 10, 2009 at 9:44 am
I was wondering if NOW should be contacted but why even bother. If this joke of an organization is serious about preventing misogyny and violence against women, they should be all over this. But, I guess its a Republican woman’s daughter so who cares, right?
June 10, 2009 at 10:31 am
I bother because it doesn’t matter whose daughter it is.
I bother because contacting them makes them go on the record as either opposing misogyny and violence against ALL women or as a hypcrytical group who condones misogyny and violence against a select group of women with their silence. Which makes them as guilty as those they claim to oppose.
It is a way of forcing liberal women to take a stand with independents, moderates and conservatives against ALL attacks on women. Don’t give them the option to remain silent or sit out of this fight.
June 10, 2009 at 6:10 pm
We should reach out and contact these women:
Lynn Rothschild, Shelly Mandell, Linda Klinge, Prameela Bartholomeusz, and Elaine Lafferty.
Does anyone have contact info for any of them. They stood with and campaigned for Palin in Nevada. They are all liberal women associated with NOW and the DNC.
If they get enough outrage maybe someone will issue a very, very public statement calling for an apology from Letterman.
June 10, 2009 at 1:15 am
HB – Guys, I am so with you. I am so proud of your support, and I’m on board. I’ll get the actions going from my end. Thanks so much!
June 10, 2009 at 5:26 am
I might be Australian, but I want to help put an end to this kind of crap. Are any of you a member of Facebook? If so, why not get up a cause to put an end to this form of misogyny.
Otherwise I can do a few things like blogging about the subject on my own blogs, and placing this link with blogs such as GayPatriot and BlackSphere.
We are all on the same side when it comes to this kind of subject.
It is about time that you all got mobilized like those on the left who were incredibly noisy and that allowed Obummer to be elected without proper checks and balances in place.
June 10, 2009 at 10:16 am
Aussie–thanks for your interest and help…i know that we only have ourselves to blame when we look at who is occupying the white house, but remember it is difficult for good to triumph over cheating…and there was a LOT of it…
June 10, 2009 at 6:23 am
Excuse me but I am calling a spade a spade.
IT`S THE PROGRESSIVE JEWS THAT HATE SARAH PALIN.
THEY ARE THE ONES THAT CONNED THE OTHER JEWS INTO VOTING FOR DR. UTOPIA GIVING THEM GUILT THAT THEY WERE RACIST IF THEY DIDN`T.
JEWS REPOND TO GUILT. AND I`M GOING TO FOCUS ON CALLING THE PROGRESSIVE, HATE FILLED JEWS OUT ON THIS. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SO COMPASSIONATE.
NOBODY HATES LIKE A PROGRESSIVE RUDE JEW!
June 10, 2009 at 6:41 am
Deal! I’ll set my DVR tonight for Letterman and write down all the advertisers, as well. I will put them on my pathetic excuse for a blog with a link to this one. That way we can cross-check each other.
This goes beyond ideology into the realm of general humanity. By denying others their humanity, Letterman has denied his own, he must be made to regret it.
June 10, 2009 at 7:14 am
My heart is broken at the denigration of women. When will the abuse stop. When will we finally say, enough! No more Tina Fey, Katie Couric, David Letterman. Enough is enough. Not on my watch. Is this what this great country has come to?
I will boycott all sponsors and sign all petitions to get him and his writers off the air.

Wrote my letters. I am so tired of these people using gutter jokes, thinking they are funny. And their continuous attacks on the Palin family are beyond comprehension.
June 10, 2009 at 7:57 am
Here’s my letter to CBS’s Ms. Sartori.
Dear Ms. Sartori,
I am writing to you to voice my extreme disapproval of Mr. Letterman’s remarks referring to Ms. Palin’s appearance as “slutty” and even more horrifying, joking about one of her young daughters being raped/molested by a national sports figure. This is totally inexcusable. I am in the process of writing and calling each and every advertiser of the Letterman show and it’s web site to express my extreme dissatisfaction of their support of such a misogynistic, mean-spirited show. Cruelty and support of child molestation is NOT funny, no matter what rich, spoiled celebrity voices it.
June 10, 2009 at 8:29 am
He did it again. At C4P, there is another video of his show last night, where he joked about Elliot Spitzer and Willow Palin – yes, sex was involved.
Keep on writing, emailing, faxing and calling… it will work if we stay on top of it.
Video of last night’s “joke” here:
http://www.conservatives4palin.com/
June 10, 2009 at 9:09 am
Yes, now he kind of implied that Willow is a prostitute. At least he got the number one reason of the 10 highlights of Sarah Paln’s trip to New York right. I do not think that she should go on his show even though he mentioned that maybe they should have had her on. On the other hand, it would be a real slap in the face for him if everyone would cheer her when she went on.
June 10, 2009 at 10:18 am
un-freaking-believable! is this guy high or something???
June 10, 2009 at 9:06 am
Very unacceptable jokes. Childish like most liberals. Hint; Jokes at the expense of others and demeaning them without cause, insulting or defaming someone is not funny but an outrage and bully tactics which, deserve a beating.
June 10, 2009 at 9:07 am
I wrote my thoughts about the disgusting & vile things Letterman spewed the other night. I’m with the person above who said they stopped watching him years ago. His idea of humor and mine haven’t jibed for a long time.
IMHO – the Palin’s should sue Letterman and CBS for defemation of character on behalf of Willow and A. Rod should do the same. Letterman took a huge chance using his name in this sick ‘joke’ (terms used loosely)- someone who has enuf problems already without being linked via Letterman to the virtual rape of a young girl. Both Letterman and CBS need to to get the message that they can’t just take people’s good names and slander them like this.
June 10, 2009 at 9:14 am
Here is the note I am sending to our local CBS affiliate. If you live in a state with strong sex-offender laws and have a local CBS affiliate that has sex offender updates practically every newscast, please feel free to copy and send to your own affiliated station. Just change the name of the state.
______________
Are you aware that your station is actively promoting child sexual abuse?
That’s correct. David Letterman’s not-funny jokes about Governor Sarah Palin’s 15-year-old daughter being raped at Yankee Stadium – yes, that’s right – raped! That is what the state of Florida calls sex with a 15-year-old child.
Please consider the mixed-message that your station is sending to the community. Or do you consider it appropriate to suggest that the rape of some children is humorous?
Your news department routinely alerts the community to sex crimes involving adults and teens, crimes that by law mean the adult will remain of Florida’s sex offender registry for the rest of his/her life. The state of Florida takes this issue very seriously. We do not believe that your station should send mixed messages on this issue by approving of programming that makes light of child sexual abuse.
June 10, 2009 at 9:18 am
Amen. I couldn’t have said it better myself. I’ve been saying this also. When the black community doesn’t like something they protest. I give the alot of credit. They stand up for themselves. Ladies we need to find our back bone and wise up. No man in the white house is looking out for us like a women would do.If ladies weren’t so afraid of the abortion issue witch GOV. PALIN doesn’t think the federal government should have the say in and the states should, could you imagine what we could accomplish if she were in the white house. People need to open their eyes with this lady because we just might miss out on a great opportunity. Just like we did with Hillary.People need to know all the great things she accomplishes in her state. OPEN YOUR EYES. Her state had 3600 new jobs last month.They are real created jobs to not “saved”. Lets rise up and give them hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 10, 2009 at 9:19 am
“IMHO – the Palin’s should sue Letterman and CBS for defemation of character on behalf of Willow and A. Rod should do the same.
One would think the Yankees would be fuming. Fans should demand to know if Rodriguez is really a child molester as Letterman suggested.
June 10, 2009 at 9:41 am
Hillbuzz:
I’ve compiled a list of names and email addresses for Letterman’s advertisers posted above.
I wanted to check with you first to make sure it’s ok to post it.
June 10, 2009 at 9:47 am
I just called cbs and talked to someone who answered the phone for the late show. I told him why I was calling and he said he would pass my comments along. I also sent a feedback using the form on the Late Show website. Thanks guys for organizing this. Where’s the New Agenda? I left a comment there yesterday asking if they were doing anything about this.
June 10, 2009 at 9:49 am
I forgot…Letterman did it again last night. He connected Willow to Spitzer, saying it was hard keeping Spitzer away from Willow (like Willow is a prostitute?) Conservatives4Palin has the video.

June 10, 2009 at 10:00 am
Wow, after my rant on yesterday’s open thread I felt like I had maybe overdone it. I see by today’s posts that I did not.
Let’s keep the pressure on and make sure that NO women are treated like this by the vile, corrupt MSM.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Not. On. My. Watch.
June 10, 2009 at 10:07 am
I sent a comment saying that what was said about Palin sounded like what would come from a fourth grade nasty girl. I asked if he was jealous, but told him not to worry, because Michelle and Barry are jealous of her too.
June 10, 2009 at 10:08 am
Just checked out The New Agenda. They have a blog up by Amy Siskind (founder) and she says someone is talking to OReilly to cover this. Here is link:

June 10, 2009 at 10:22 am
I think what they are hoping for is that he will have Amy Siskind on his show…that’s what it sounds like. They are trying to find someone who will let Amy talk…
June 10, 2009 at 10:17 am
Hillbuzz,
I am with you 110%! I voted for Hillary and supported Palin and will continue to do so.
I agree we should call out sexism with the same passion they do with racism (imagined or otherwise). I also suggest that we should not rest until Hillary/Sarah are given 30 minutes of free MSM air time in order for them to lecture the country on the evils of sexism, just like they did for candidate obama when they allowed him to lecture the country on racism!!!
Keep doing what you do. You’re simply the best.
June 10, 2009 at 11:02 am
And I’m with you 110%, Kathleen.
HB is right: Hillary supporters must have Sarah’s back and vice versa. I am convinced that if the Hillary sexism was called out early with as much force and vigor as Al Sharpton and Co. screams “RAAAAAAACISM!!!!!!!” Sarah and her family wouldn’t have been subjected to such vile attacks.
My little sister is around Willow’s age. No child deserves to be spoken of in such a vile manner. I don’t care who their parents are. I wouldn’t talk about Letterman’s children like this and neither would any of us here.
June 10, 2009 at 10:30 am
We spent the whole day discussing this yesterday on Team Sarah. Your plan of attack on the sponsors is a great idea!
Letterman is clearly intimidated by strong women. The sexism toward Hillary and Sarah in his so-called comedy is astounding and sickening.
Go, Hillbuzz!
June 10, 2009 at 10:47 am
“Any ‘jokes’ about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too.”
- Todd Palin
“Concerning Letterman’s comments about my young daughter (and I doubt he’d ever dare make such comments about anyone else’s daughter): ‘Laughter incited by sexually-perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood/NY entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands – that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone’s daughter, contribute to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others.’”
- Governor Sarah Palin

June 10, 2009 at 10:57 am
I have sent a scathing e-mail protesting Letterman’s attacks on Palin and her daughter to CBS via their website.
I think we should join forces with Team Sarah, The New Agenda and other women’s groups in a united front making it clear that we are serious. Women have got to learn to react the same way Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson do to any hints of racism, which is IN YOUR FACE!

June 10, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Letterman is with CBS.
June 10, 2009 at 11:25 am
When I recover from the shock that you are standing up for Sarah and her child, I will gladly, happily, eagerly help you out in your stand against Letterman. Thank you for doing what is right, over what is ideologically correct.
June 10, 2009 at 11:53 am
jb,
FYI, most of Hillary supporters spoke out against the attacks against Sarah throughout the GE and were villified by the so-called progressives for doing so. Surely, we could count on the conservatives to do the same for Hillary, right?
It is time for people of all party affiliations to stand up for what is right and go “Al Sharpton” on sexism!
June 10, 2009 at 12:06 pm
jb,
Hillbuzz has been standing up for Sarah since she appeared on the national stage.
June 10, 2009 at 12:03 pm
I’ve just been glancing through all these comments, so this may be superfluous, but just in case. In addition to contacting the national sponsors, don’t forget to contact your local CBS affiliate and express your dismay – AT THAT TIME ASK TO SPEAK TO THEIR MARKETING DIRECTOR AND ASK FOR THE LIST OF LOCAL SPONSORS!!!! This gets the message to the folks whose bread and butter comes from selling ads on the program. Especially with times as tough as they are, local advertisers are very conscious about offending potential customers – and local affiliate sales people have more pull with the network than even a bunch of irate consumers.
HIT ‘EM ALL – HIT ‘EM HARD!!!!

June 10, 2009 at 12:07 pm
First I heard of these remarks on the news, because I haven’t watched the David Letterman Late Show for over 20 years, I emailed the show with a simply message that they should change the name of the show to the David Letterman Hate Show, but also since he hasn’t been funny for over a few decades, David should retire. David is a foul mouth b******, but this problem goes way beyond his pitiful little not prime time show for stupid adults. The Hollywood entertainment business has become our home grown evil doers. I personally, do not buy movie tickets, dvds, attend concerts, etc. as my personal boycott. But soon many more may not be buying entertainment tickets because many will be broke due to government corruption and wasteful spending.
June 10, 2009 at 12:23 pm
David Letterman is a disgrace to the human race. I’d love 2 minutes with that piece of shit..sorry, I couldn’t help but cussing. I am SO glad that Sarah released that statement..I remember when David Shuster said, during the campaign, that Hillary Clinton was pimping out Chelsea and no one did a damn thing, what else is knew, they were all in Obama’s pocket..but what Letterman did, to suggest that a 14 year old girl, who has done NOTHING except go to a game, be raped..is INEXCUSABLE and SICK. I think Letterman probably molested children in the past, he is way too obsessed with sexually exploiting children..something is in his past people..just gotta find it
June 10, 2009 at 12:57 pm

James: Ancestry.com says they do not advertise on his show. See their reply:
Dear Joanne,
Thank you for your email.
Thank you for bringing this important matter to our attention. I can confirm to you that Ancestry.com is not an advertiser or sponsor of the CBS Late Show with David Letterman. It is unclear how the company’s name ended up on this list, but it appears to be a mistake. We would appreciate your help in spreading the correct information.
Best regards,

June 10, 2009 at 4:48 pm
I just received two letters from Lifelock daying that they do not sponsor the David Letterman show. They thought that maybe a local station put it in that time slot.
June 10, 2009 at 2:24 pm
You also need to contact World Vision International. They are an advertiser on Best Western’s web site. I highly doubt that WV wants to be associated with a man who advocates child rape when they as an organization are all about child welfare.
June 10, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Just got an e-mail back from Best Western. They said they are not affiliated with any network or program.

I wrote this complaint to CBS on the official site for Letterman’s show. (He’s got some disgusting, unfunny mention of Angela Lansbury going on the site right now–the man just hates women.):
“One of the cornerstones of old-fashioned comedy was to insult and degrade others. CBS, I know you’ve been around a long time, but in case you hadn’t noticed, the world has changed. It’s not ok to tell racist jokes – even if you’re black – and it’s certainly not ok to tell misogynistic jokes, at least it’s not ok with women. It seems more than a few men still cling to this horrifying prejudice. But to allow David Letterman to take aim at Sarah Palin and her 14-year-old daughter (suggesting what amounts to a pedophiliac’s dream) is grotesque! It’s not ok to slam a woman and her daughter because you don’t agree with her politics and pander to the “liberals” who think it’s ok because it’s “dumb dumb Palin.” I strenuously object to this man’s continued presence on your network. He loves to make fun of women – take, for example, his latest dig at Angela Lansbury, disgusting and unfunny. How about coming up with someone who has some respect for others.”

This just dawned on my.
Why don’t we blitz the owner of the Yankees. Do they really want their patrons to be worried about a possible rape occurring at their stadium during the 7th inning stretch????
Don’t they need to issue a statement of reassurance that a travesty like that would not be welcomed or condoned???
June 10, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Yes!! Post some Yankee contact info!

I just hope that whatever 2 women y’all force out of the primaries they’re actually better than their rivals and not just the ones without a penis.
June 10, 2009 at 7:13 pm
First time I have posted here. But, have read you frequently. I am a 20 yr old female and a Palin supporter. And I just want to say that I agree with this post. We need to have each others backs, the PUMAs and the Palinites because we have both seen the misogynist media, the pseudo-feminists, and good old boys of Washington try to tear our girls down. We may disagree politically, but this has nothing to do with politics. It has everything to do with holding people accountable for their words and actions, especially when they are used to specifically to denegrate (sp?) women. It has gone on far too long. And I am sure that both the PUMAs and the Palinites are sick of it. I have thought about this for a while and WE need to join forces, after all, we’re all after the same cause: equal treatment for women, no more double standards, holding misogynists accountable, etc.
Letterman should not have made the comments he did. They were beyond disgusting. And it’s gotten to the point that I am just beyond fed up with the media’s slander of women – strong, hard-working women at that. So, yea let’s continue emailing sponsors and CBS, and be persistent (as Sebastian said) and let’s hold Letterman accountable for his dumbass comments. Least of all, we need a public apology from him & CBS, especially an apology to the Palin family.
June 10, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Just want to give all you Hill-buzzer’s a Shout-out of “a Thankyou so much” for supporting the Palin’s and finally going after that vile sub-human person, “Letterman” I don’t know if CBS even gives a rat’s behind about what he has stated or if he gets anything or reprimanded on this latest sick rant against Sarah Palin. I honestly believe in my soul, he is a sick man. I know we cannot control a person’s word’s, but we can make them accountable for saying them. I hope your website along with TeamS.and other’s will continue to work together to stop these attacks! It’s not a left or right issue– it’s for all civil rights against sexual abuse and slander. Sarah Palin and her family have had enough, it’s time to stop the hate. With your help and other site’s we can do this– strength in number’s..! Thank’s again buzzer’s :)) Sass

I hate the f’in Guitar Center anyway, their local store is horrible and the snooty clerks can kiss it.
WNY guitar players, spend your money where it is appreciated and where you’ll get personal, friendly, helpful service: Jackson Music on Grand Island.
(I have no affiliation with them, I’m just a guitar player.)
June 10, 2009 at 9:07 pm
Where is the View’s response on this attack?
June 10, 2009 at 9:12 pm
I can tell you what their reaction will be. Whoopi will say, “Its a joke, he’s a comedian, he didn’t know she was only 14….” excuses, excuses. Joy will laugh and say, “So what? Who cares? Palin is dumb!” Sherri will cry at the prospect of her son now being able to reach his dreams all because of THE ONE and Baba Wawa will (once again) clamp her hand over Elisabeth’s mouth and drag her off stage. And then plug her book, “Audition”
I know. I have got to stop watching so much of “The View”
June 10, 2009 at 11:57 pm
Thanks Hillbuzz…once again you come through as a leader.
June 11, 2009 at 12:34 am
Hillbuzz,
Have you seen the comment made by Chuck Nice on the NBC Today Show on June 9? Disgusting. If you haven’t and want what someone transcribed, email me and i will send to you.
CHUCK NICE: She is beloved by a lot of people because she represents so many things. And I’m going to say this, and please don’t take it the way it sounds. But, Sarah Palin to the GOP, this is what I’ve got to say, she is very much like herpes, she’s not going away. Okay? That’s it. I’m not equating her with that. Everybody’s laughing. I don’t care. The band is cracking up.
June 11, 2009 at 2:53 pm
I am a bit surprised that Kathy Lee Gifford tolerated that without comment. I do not know her politics, but you would think she would have spoken up.

Letterman is a pervert plain and simple. I can live with jokes about Palins statements or policiy decisions but jokes about raping a 14yr old girl are worse than imaginable.
Think about it, what so-called joke could be worse than the rape of a 14 yr old girl. I cannot think of any.
Letterman needs to go.
