Oops they did it again. . .rightwing POUTRAGE crowd fails . . .again, this time with laughable “Fire Dave” protest

If the lunatic fringe of the right wing continues its random POUTRAGE protests (such as Tea Bagging) they need to get together, hire effective organizers, get their facts straight and work on messaging. They out did themselves when they staged a protest, with more media in attendance than protesters, outside of "Late Night with David Letterman" in response to his joke about Sarah Palin's daughter.

A quick analysis of the above video produced by the New York Magazine finds the following:

00:20--Crazy Lady #1 (CL1) complains about Letterman making joke about a 14 year old at an
"American basketball game." Note to CL1, it was a baseball game.

00:40--CL1 calls Jay Leno a class act, while we like Jay and think he has class we find it odd that CL1 is not POUTRAGED about the numerous jokes that he has made about Bristol Palin (HuffPo: "Leno Told Similar Joke About Palin's Daughter")

00:45--Crazy Lady #2 (CL2) calls Letterman a "schmuck" then asks "do you know what schmuck means in Jewish?" Well, we do know what "schmuck" means in Yiddish but we would like us to enlighten us about what it means in Jewish.

00:56--Crazy Man #1 (CM1) egged on by a raging CL2 throws out wing nut buzzwords "communist," fascist"

1:17--CL1 returns to let us know Letterman had a "daughter" out of wedlock, without realizing it was a son.

1:21--CL2 gets the gender of Letterman's child correct and out does the comedian when she says that he as "a bastard son and a slut for a wife." Woah NellY!

1:25--CM2, who is white, admonishing an African American woman and tells her "wake up socialism is evil." When she tries to respond he waves his finger at her, works his neck (we guess that how he was told that was how Black folk communicate) and screams "you think you are soooo smart, you think you know soooo much" and to reinforce he can keep it real with Black folk he snaps his finger.

1:38--CL2 evidently realizing that undocumented workers were responsible for Letterman's joke says "close the borders."

1:45 Crazy Lady 3 (Cl3) really brings the crazy screaming "Keep children safe from David Letterman's mouth! He will rape them with his mouth." As she does this Richard and Sal from the "Howard Stern Show" (we are big fans) stage a mock make out session with one another right behind her.

One can only imagine her reaction if she turned around to see that.

18. nutsackers. :) nt

[nc4bo]

24. or nutbackers.

These people are not only ignorant but absolutely unhinged. We've seen them time and again at those mKKKain/Palin (together and separate) rallies. Many of us got harrassed by them as we tried to vote in November and many more were visually assaulted with aborted fetus photo wrapped box trucks during Obama rallies.

Where's The Rapture when you really need one? It can't come soon enough for me.

4. 1:25--CM2....

Old white guys trying to be ethnic always makes me cringe. If I ever do that, I hope that somebody gives me a deserved mercy killing....

:crazy:

9. Ouch

5. if letterman's son is a 'bastard' and his wife a 'slut'.... what does that make

bristol palin and her kid?? i think that statements like that are far worse than what letterman said. but then again... wasn't letterman with this woman for like 10 years or more before they ever had a kid?? and, is the kid still a 'bastard' if the parents get married? because i would like to know if my ten year old is a 'bastard' or not. she was five when we got married... she was the flower girl. and she was so happy it was HER day. marriage is not a piece of paper. i wish they understood that. it is a commitment two people make with each other, and the piece of paper is just for everyone else's benefit.

6. Exactly . . .

. . .these folks are becoming unhinged.

[MineralMan]

7. They've always been unhinged. They're just coming out

in public.

[wndycty]

8. These are essentially the same folks who showed up at the Palin hate rallies

:kick:

[MineralMan]

12. Morons abound!

[wndycty]

13. So do the Morans. . .LOL

22. _WE_ are not bound by THEIR ignorance, sexism and maliciousness.

What this whole bullshit makes Bristol Palin is what she is: a young woman whose sexual behavior probably wasn't much different than mine (and I'm 46) or many other young women's. I wish they understood, too, but even more, I wish lots of DUers understood that they have no right to make assumptions about _any_ woman's sexual history based on the fact that they disagree with that woman, or what that woman wears, etc. It's not right when the right does it, and it's not right whe WE do it.

The whole "bastard" thing confounds me, too. No, of course, no child is a "bastard." A child is a just a child, regardless of whether his/her parents are left, right or somewhere in between.

10. Typical of the Freeper crowd. What idiots.

[wndycty]

11. At least 3 of the "protesters" weren't protesters but radio guys mocking them . .

...Richard & Sal from the Stern Show and another guy from XM/Sirius. Benji from the Stern Show may have also been there too.

[glinda]

21. Media should defuse this by pointing out the other Hosts that told jokes like that.

I think it is dangerous for Dave and his family and don't see this as a laughing matter.

[Catherine Vincent]

14. They have a right.....

to be idiots! LOL!

[wndycty]

15. And the more they exercise that right, the better

Seriously, they make their side look bad.

[tuckessee]

16. "Jewish" is a language?

If I had known that I would've majored in Jewish instead of French.:)

[wndycty]

19. I guess it is now. . .more importantly I wonder if "Jewish" people speak Jewish or. . .

. . .if its people who don't know Jewish people who speak "Jewish"

[AllieB]

25. It's Yiddish.

[lpbk2713]

17. It sounds like Emily Lotela was there.

"What's all this fuss I hear about Leatherman?"







"Never mind."

[Maru Kitteh]

20. That video clip should be played behind every (R) campaign/issue ad from here into perpetuity

Wow. I think I would have ended up unconscious on the sidewalk from laughing so hard.

[rvablue]

23. The "close the borders" comment just says it all about these whackjobs.

Makes no sense.

Hate and rage filled.

What an utter and total embarrassment this is for the dear Guv of Alaska.

The only people she can find in a city of almost 9 million to support her are 15 stupid and hateful morons. But that's her base, I guess.

[lala_rawraw]

26. i was laughing so hard at this

that I had tears I tell you... tears!!!
