The victimizer becomes the victim

[Bruce MacPherson]

Personally I think Letterman is a no talent jerk but , as far as I can tell, he hasn't ever set himself up as an example of moral turpitude. What I find more interesting is the disdain people like Letterman seem to have for those that have chosen to follow a more traditional, for lack of a better word, lifestyle.

Agreed. As far as I can tell, he didn't rape anybody. His sex life is between him and his partners and his wife. The problem I have with him is his attitude toward people who hold themselves to a higher personal standard and state it publicly. Like many, since he is unable or unwilling to be faithful to the mother of his child who he just married this year, he assumes that anyone who claims to follow a more stringent moral standard must be a liar or a hypocrite. I think that he shows the world who he is and each of us can form our own opinions about him.
The truth of the matter is this: he's an entertainer. He isn't a politician. The only power he has is the power we chose to give him.

I don't see what Polanski has to do with it. I don't give a rat$ @$$ what happens to him. I thought it was comical that every right wing radio show I tuned into had the host whipping up a story that I frankly couldn't care less about.

Buzz...I believe it goes to the point that the lefties have very little moral integrity.

You don't care about the fact that a child rapist is being fawned over by the left...NOBODY should be supporting this guy.

Wow, ok.

[Buzz]

a child rapist is being fawned over by the left.

Really? Fawned over? Who told you that? Sean, Rush, Beck???

By the left, do they mean Hollywood?

I don't care what anyone in Hollywood says, left or right.

Nope...watched Whoopie on the View.

Nope...watched Whoopie on the View.

Oh, you mean Hollywood.

[TXduckdog]

Yeah, sorry about not being specific.

Ain't Hollywood sort of left leaning?

Yeah, sorry about not being specific.

Is The Nation a right wing rag?

Here is what likely most liberals think about it. Note the comments from those liberals who are "fawning" over Polanski:

It seems that letterman is showing what he is all about. He has now had to fess up to being a sh#@head and trying to spin it. Maybe it explains how his extreme dislike to Sara Palin because she could prolly kick his azz. I am beginning to think that the movie Men in Black that portrayed some hollywood types as aliens is not to far off.

Damn the Bad Luck!

What a piece of work Letterman is. Another powerful liberal forcing young, subordinate female staffers to have sex with him or risk being fired. I wonder how many girls he forced himself upon? Two? Ten? Fifty? Reminds me of Bill Clinton.

Maybe he should strike a deal with ACORN to open his very own white house.

Pretty strong accusations! I haven’t seen anything so far indicating Letterman “forced” himself on this woman. How do you know the sex wasn’t consensual? There are probably as many, if not more, women that pursue powerful men as there are powerful men pursing women. In fact, I never heard anything about Clinton forcing any of the women he was linked with into having sex.
