About that rally against Letterman today in New York...
The website http://www.firedavidletterman.com/ is holding a rally Tuesday at 4:30 outside the Ed Sullivan theater. I was wondering if any New Yorkers are planning a counter-rally? Is it too late to get something like that together? Surely there are lots of New Yorkers who love Dave and would support him against these freeptards.

1. If they still do this after Sarah "accepted" Dave's apology,
they're going to look awfully stupid. Even more stupid than usual.

2. They are still planning to do it...

Letterman apologizes for joke, but Palin supporters vow to continue fight
04:23 PM PT, Jun 15 2009

"Under fire for a risque joke last week, David Letterman has apologized to Gov. Sarah Palin and her supporters. But a group urging CBS to fire the host says it's still not enough.

-snip-

Ziegler said he was not sure what sanction Letterman should face, but options should include suspension and firing. The host could also donate to a charity of Gov. Palin's choice, he said. Meanwhile, the group is still planning a rally Tuesday outside the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York, where Letterman tapes his show. "

4. Their fake outrage knows no bounds.
That's unsurprising from a bunch of people who have sold bin-Laden's fear for him for nearly eight years.

7. FUCK John Ziegler
He couldn't wait five seconds after getting on the air for an MSNBC interview to get in his shots about it being the "Obama network". The agenda of these pieces of shit is clear.

8. omg, was that the same guy?
I caught the end of that interview and thought he was such an ass. I didn't catch his name though and definitely didn't make the connection with the guy doing this rally. What a piece of shit. Now I'm really, really hoping some progressive New Yorkers show up.

9. I'm thinking it was with Contessa Brewer
And she pretty much said "Do you want to do this interview, or not?". Shut him right up.

13. Yes, it was Contessa Brewer
I had never heard of this guy before and I was stunned at how big an asshole he was during that interview. The fact that he is behind this Letterman rally makes me ill.

5. Let them have their protest. It will be a pretty ridiculous thing to see.
Letterman should consider the matter closed. They're the ones who are over doing things now. This will backfire on them.
