Of course you do. That's why you're there.
If you feel my comment warrants my crucifixion, then by all means, gather your hammers, nails and timbers, and rally the masses to your cause.
Yeah, my comment, insinuating that Cupp is on Fox News because of her good looks, is right down there next to flat out calling a woman a wicked witch. Give me a break.
You beat me to it. That's almost verbatim what I was going to say.
*high-five*
Or this is just another in a long line of crack-pots being given a venue to spew their garbage as if they had the credibility...
Then again... this is The Sean Hannity puke-fest hour... so credibility is not much of an issue!
Oh Really? You're sure about that, you dimwit?
"Let me be as clear as possible. I think people's families are off-limits, and people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor or her potential performance as a vice president."
Obama said reporters should "back off these kinds of stories" and noted that he was born to an 18-year-old mother.
"How a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn't be the topic of our politics, and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that's off-limits."
Is there a single negative thing in this country that the right does not blame Obama for?
I don't know about you, but I'm always in the mood for a little dirty talking...;-)
It must be frustrating to an Obama supporter (the ones with integrity ) to see so many ignore his wishes and display of class.
Sarah Palin also displayed much more class than Letterman and all the hypocrites on the left who defend Letterman's conduct.
THANK YOU.

Mccain spoke out against VERY few of his supporters ill remarks. Usually for show after the publicity on how mean his side was getting and he instigated a lot of them himself. You are a kind, generous, Honest person to give him credit for doing so.
And while you claim that McCain's attempt to halt the attacks didn't work, you neglect to mention that it is the left that is perpetuating that type of behavior now. As I have pointed out before it is a shame that his supporters have not learned from his class.
OK -- lemme see if I've got this straight:
In the last 48 hours or so, Barack Obama has been responsible for
- a white supremacist and holocaust denier killing a security guard
- a hard right right to lifer killing a doctor
- a late nite talk show host joking about a failed veep candidate
For someone wingnuts like to claim "isn't very smart," he sure does have a lot of control . . .
These a-holes keep thinking that speaking to people who we don't get along with means sitting in a circle and singing kumbayyah (sp?), but it doesn't.
Talking to your enemies is never a bad thing. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer I think is another apt phrase that these blowhards are forgetting.
And how come we don't hear conservatives yelling and screaming about how Voight should shut up and sit down, after all, he's just an actor, what does he know (the right's favorite line against liberals from Hollywood)?
I say, let him speak, speak loud Mr. Voight. You sound just as dumb as your talk radio brothers in arms.
One answer: Obama Derangement Syndrome
And, we are only 200 days in of 8 years. It's only a matter of time before the reich-wing teabaggers are justifying using the n-word when talking about the Prez.
They also make sure they teach the next hate-generation how-to at home! I substitute teach in supposidly "great" TX schools, and want to borrow one of the little darlings' guns and blow my brains out after having to listen to them speak on anything political!
And that's before noon, in the high school AP classes! I want to do that before 10 am in the classes loaded with 'jocks.'
As Pete posted above, Obama, even when being attacked from the Palin camp repeatedly and often, came out as being classy, and saying that the families should be left out of the whole equation. Obama never attacked Palin personally. What a crock that this woman is peddling. I mean, somehow Obama is now responsible for Letterman's "comedy"?
Yeah, OK. Let me know how you can tie Obama to that one. Because, you can't.
Now if Obama had come out, and had disparaged Palin recently, I could see the point, or if he had at all, I could see maybe a slight point. But he hasn't.
Cupp = fail
Many of them are not challenged for the ridiculous, outrageous things they say. In this case "I blame Obama". Why do such remarks go unchallenge? Do TV hosts not have a responsibility to tell them how crazy they sound?
This is the kind of talk that lead deranged people to go out and commit a crime and worse kill people.
Make up your silly minds, righties. Which one do you want - a President who controls everything people say or a President who allows people to have freedom of speech?
Hannity should have chimedin that he did his part by smearing Michelle Obama throughout the campaign ..a person he had nevr met or talked to!!!!
Palin was on TV this morning, adding to the faux outrage, even inventing a fictional double-standard. She cited Obama's remarks about keeping families/kids out of the mix (obviously by the respective camps during the campaign), and is trying to play the hypocrisy card using a late night comedian.
Palin put her goofy family in the spotlight through her own ego. Sure, the GOP recruited her, but her own delusions of adequacy in accepting allowed the country and the world to see the Palin Bunch in all their dysfunctional glory.
Taking the "family" element out of it, the phony feminist reaction is pretty silly too, the blustering about treatment of young women in general doesn't seem very genuine when you consider that Monica Lewinsky wasn't much older than Palin's daughter at the time she made national news and all the comedian's lists.
I meant to add to this, that by the concerted effort by the right to connect all the media with the Dems, continuing the liberal media myth,any remarks by anybody in the media, whether news or entertainment, can be assigned to the Democratic Party and Obama.
Palin is just slimy, even on the politician slimy-scale.
She's slimy squared.
Have you seen the other angle the wingnuts are trying to work on this? That the "Slvtty Flight Attendant joke" is insulting to flight attendants in general? I suppose "Mad Scientist" offends them as well.And "Bad Cop".
so desperate, so stoopid.
Simple Sarah is a nitwit and a liar. She gets no sympathy from me.... or empathy, either.
I mean, "What news sources do you read often?" kind of easy questions.
And that was after a month of prep before they let the media even talk to her, or ask her anything.
Palin did herself in, not the media. It's amazing to even have someone say that.
Since, they are so christianly and all, they might understand it better this way.
You reap, what you sew...(paraphrased) signed J.C.
You know kids of candidates were off limits until.....
Someone labeled the President's daughter as the whitehouse pet...
After that, even a certain Presidential candidate got in on the act by saying a vulgar joke about the president's daughter during a fundraising event. Maybe MM can find those quotes and videos.
The daughter was Chelsea clinton. She took a whole lot of abuse from the reicht wing during the 90s. They seem to have selective amnesia.
Maybe, the "librul" media needs to remind them just who opened pandora's box.
TRANSLATION: We on the right simply CANNOT understand why Obama's supporters, whom we labeled "unpatriotic," "unamerican," and accused of having a mental disorder ["Bush Derangement Syndrome"]if they dared criticize GW Bush, jokingly or not, can't simply sit quiet and not respond whenever threats are made on the President's person, a joke is made on his racial identity, or disparaging comments are made about his family.
Don't they know, it's the American Way??!!
