The latest round of Leftist nastiness has been dished out by none other than late night television host David Letterman. David is a funny guy and I enjoy his show when I see it. He has a stable of experienced writers putting the show together, and enjoys huge popularity, all of which begs the question: Why must he tell tasteless jokes at the expense of Sarah Palin's children? If you care, you can Google for the clips, but I'm not going to dignify his behavior with a link here. I remember President Obama as a candidate declaring his and his opponents children "off limits" to press coverage, and everyone fawning over what a decent and noble statement that was. I guess now for the Liberals among us, decency is only afforded to winners.
Letterman's attempted humor aside, I can't figure out this preoccupation of the Left with Sarah Palin. She is old news at best, yet the Liberal media and entertainment establishment seems to delight in continued character assassination of her and her family. Deep down, the Left must feel she is more dangerous to their agenda than they let on. Could it be that they feel the need to destroy any possibility of her running against them in the future? What kind of people would also destroy someone's family to achieve that goal? Governor Palin is not the only target of Leftist venom. The Liberal media is full of people who spend their air time being smarmy about their President and name calling anyone who dares to question his administration. This past week for example, I've heard other Conservatives described as "scumbags", "hate mongers", "anti-Semites" and "racists". It always amazes me how the most liberal among us, are the least tolerant of other views and opinions. This week they've even tried to blame unfortunate shooting incidents on that "crazy Conservative talk" you hear everywhere. Do I need to point out that at least one person thought the Beatles were telling him to start a race war in Los Angeles during the 60's? Yet no one blamed John or Paul for the deranged actions of Charles Manson. Note to Liberals: The responsibility for crazy behavior by an individual lies within that individual, not with your opposition expressing their political opinions or freedom of speech. People are responsible for their own actions and lousy decisions. Get used to it, it's never going to change. I heard someone say recently: "How can Liberals sit down and negotiate with our international enemies, when they can't even intelligently discuss political differences with other Americans?" I often wonder about that as I hear Liberal media hosts resort to shouting and insults when faced with honest, legitimate criticisms of policies currently being forced on the American public. I can't see Ahmadinejad responding well to that kind of treatment, and you probably shouldn't make nasty jokes about his kids either.
