After David Letterman apologized for his remarks directed at Gov. Sarah Palin's daughters, she did the classy thing and accepted the apology.

The Alaska governor, in a statement issued Tuesday, said the apology was accepted "on behalf of all young women, like my daughters, who hope men who `joke' about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve."

Fair enough. But I assert that a three other points need to be made, especially on how to handle liberals and the media (BIRM).

First off, when a Conservative and their supporters rally, refuse to give up and go away, and use the tactics of Alinsky, sometimes the liberal bullies will buckle. They are not used to us punching back, and they don't know what to do when it does happen.Yeah, the loss of advertising undoubtedly forced CBS and Letterman to revisit this situation, but they did, and they would have blown it off had pressure not been put on the people who call the shots.

Secondly, accept the fact that "comedians" such as Letterman and Jon Stewart are essentially a de-facto wing of the Obama Spin Machine, and treat them as campaign flacks. In fact, their reach and impact is more profound, since way too many people have their opinions shaped by these idiots than they do from "traditional" news anchors. Jim Treacher and Andrew Breitbart are correct that we should fight them and not allow them to retreat behind the "clown nose on, clown nose off" game that they have used for too long to beat on us. As such, we should refuse to just laugh off malicious assaults that sound as though they were written on Obama Campaign Literature and not cue cards for a stand up routine. Again, fighting back in an organized fashion will bear fruit. 

Finally, the media cheerleaders for these assclowns should not be immune from criticism. They have enabled comedians to shape opinion by letting them become news in their own right (Remember Jon Stewart taking on CNBC, and how it became top of the hour news on many "serious" shows?) . They should be pressured into accepting responsibility for their words and deeds, especially since they cannot hide behind a "comedian" defense. Hell, if MediaMatters and KOS can force a media hack into an apology, why can't we?  Admittedly, this is a tougher nut to crack, since the MSM will be asked to report on and self police itself, but the same organized tactics that were used against Letterman can and should be used whenever Jeffrey Toobin steps over the line. Who knows? Maybe it will work there as well.

Anyway, job well done to all who fought back. Remember this feeling, and how victory tastes, and be greedy for more.
