David Letterman, host of Late Night with David Letterman, took the opportunity of Sarah Palin's visit to New York City to support assistance for families dealing with Autism, to slam her and her daughter. Obviously, many people do not agree with Governor Sarah Palin (R-AK) and her political ideology. I happen to agree with her and grew to admire her during the 2008 Presidential Campaign. However, this post is not about Governor Palin's ideology, it is about David Letterman's inappropriate comments about her and her daughter.
I have not ever been a big fan of Mr. Letterman or his show, preferring to watch the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and before that, Johnny Carson. However, I can enjoy political humor as much as the next guy. I often found Jay Leno's jokes and sketches about President George W. Bush, whom I supported. Part of the reason I could appreciate the humor is that it was not offensive. Mr. Letterman has crossed the line to the offensive with Mrs. Palin and her daughter.
In a recent episode, Mr. Letterman made a reference to Governor Palin as looking like a "slutty" flight attendant. He also made a comment about her daughter being "knocked up" by A-Rod. Whether or not one finds the comments humorous, which I didn't, they are totally inappropriate to make about one who a Governor of the State or her teenage child. Yes the Palin family is in the public eye and thus are fair game for humor; however, there is such a thing as decency. In this case, Mr. Letterman crossed the line to the indecent side.
Kudos to Sarah Palin for responding with dignity!

DAVID LETTERMAN'S HATE, etc. !
Speaking of anti-Semitism, it's Jerry Falwell and other fundy leaders who've gleefully predicted that in the future EVERY nation will be against Israel (an international first?) and that TWO-THIRDS of all Jews will be killed, right?
Wrong! It's the ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah who predicted all this in the 13th and 14th chapters of his book! The last prophet, Malachi, explains the reason for this future Holocaust that'll outdo even Hitler's by stating that "Judah hath dealt treacherously" and "the Lord will cut off the man that doeth this" and asks "Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother?"
Haven't evangelicals generally been the best friends of Israel and Jewish persons? Then please explain the recent filthy, hate-filled, back-stabbing tirades by David Letterman (and Sandra Bernhard) against a leading evangelical named Sarah Palin, and explain why most Jewish leaders have seemingly condoned Palin's continuing "crucifixion"!
While David and Sandra are tragically turning comedy into tragedy, they are also helping to speed up and fulfill the Final Holocaust a la Zechariah and Malachi, thus helping to make the Bible even more believable!
