Priceless.

Oh. My. God. I don't even know what to say about this. The crazies are coming out of the woodwork BIG TIME. Let's go at this methodically.


Some of the major points, and associated rebuttals:


1. Everyone in the country is really upset that Letterman made a rape joke about someone at a basketball game.

• Wrong, wrong and wrong. Most people don't care about this. Most people don't even think it was a rape joke. Also, they were at a baseball game. What kind of American are you, you can't even remember our fucking past time? You don't even know which scandal you're talking about. Go home.

2. Letterman called A Rod a pervert

• Fair point. Let's take a minute to think about what a victim A Rod was in this situation, and thus, the Yankees. Has Letterman apologised to them? Noooo. I could get behind a protest of Yankee slander.
  

3. Jay Leno is the epitome of class and elegance, and he has better guests!

• NO. From a point well made by HuffPo:
  From two different Tonight Shows: "Governor Palin announced over the weekend that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is five months pregnant. Oh, boy, you thought John Edwards was in trouble before, now he's really done it!" AND..."All the Republicans are heaping praise on Governor Palin. Fred Thompson said, as an actor, he could see them making a movie about Sarah Palin and her family. Didn't they already make that movie? I think it was called 'Knocked Up!'"--Jay Leno
• Right now, he has no guests, since he isn't actually hosting anything.
  

4. Vote against the fascists and communists.

• Unrelated. Also, go ahead, if any of them are even running.
  

5. Letterman had a son out of wedlock!

• Unrelated, and who gives a shit?

6. Letterman had a daughter out of wedlock!

• Who gives a shit, and no, I don't think he did.

7. Letterman had a son out of wedlock!

• Objection: Relevance. Who gives a shit?
  

8. Letterman's son is a bastard and his wife is a slut!

• Who. Gives. A Shit.
  

9. Socialism is evil! - I'll say that again while snapping and bobing my head because you're black. Get it?

• What?....????
  

10. Close the borders and clean your house.

• ?????
  

11. Letterman will rape your children with his mouth.

• I highly doubt that, literally or figuratively. Children don't watch Letterman. And if they do, they've got bigger problems.
  

12. Go home and take care of your kids!

• I hope this woman has no offspring
  

And these are the crazies in NEW YORK, while undoubtedly always more colourful, they usually aren't so...FUCKING NUTS. Christ on a rocket I don't want to know what the red states are like.

As Frank Rich points out, no one can say this wasn't staring us in the face when a right wing crazy finally does something really extreme (because apparently shooting an abortion doctor and opening fire in the Holocaust Museum isn't enough).
