The Freaks Come Out for Sarah Palin, against David Hussein Letterman

New York Magazine videographer Jonah Green shot some unforgettably insane video of Sarah Palin supporters at a less-than-successful "Fire David Letterman" protest this week outside Letterman's studio in New York. According to CNN a crowd of about 15 protesters gathered outside the Ed Sullivan Theatre on Tuesday (June 15), outnumbered more than two-to-one by at least 35 members of the media who were there to cover the event, badly organized to protest jokes about Palin and her family for which Letterman has now twice apologized.

Jonah Green's video is reminiscent of videos shot at Palin rallies during the 2008 presidential campaign, with Letterman standing in this time for Barack Hussein Obama and the wicked liberal establishment as object of indiscriminate hate. The strange, angry lady in yellow pictured here first calls Letterman's child a "bastard" and his wife a "slut," than goes on to demand, "Close the borders!" (David Letterman is an illegal alien!). Among her fellows is a young man who confesses that he has never seen Letterman's show because he only watches Fox News, while another man shouts about "fascists" and "communists" and tells bystanders, "Wake up! Socialism is evil!" (David Letterman is a fascist, a communist, and a socialist!). Another lady shouts, "Keep your children safe from David Letterman's mouth! He will rape them with his mouth! He is a child abuser! He is a verbal pedophile!" (David Letterman ought to be listed on the Sex Offender Registry because of what his mouth said on TV! Oh my God it's his mouth!).

All protesters seem to agree that Jay Leno is a better, funnier talk-show host than the pariah David Hussein Letterman (I'll bet Jay's real happy about that!).

My goodness....
