Sarah Palin supporters are really not happy with David Letterman after the 'Late Show' host made fun of the Governor of Alaska's daughter.

A group of Palinites created the Web site FireDavidLetterman.com, which asks people to write a letter to CBS advertisers, stating their dislike of the funnyman for joking about Palin's child and also promotes a protest they are having outside of Letterman's studio.

"As an advertiser on the David Letterman show, you endorse his point of view, I am appalled that your company supports the rape of young girls," the letter reads.

The anger stems from part of Letterman's top ten list about Palin's trip to New York, in which he said there was an "awkward moment" for the former Vice Presidential nominee at a Yankees game when "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by (Yankee third baseman) Alex Rodriguez."

Letterman claims the joke was about Palin's 18-year-old daughter Bristol, however it was 14-year-old Willow at the game with her mother. He also admitted that it may have been "in bad taste."

Palin skewered her late night adversary on the 'Today Show' and said that he must "apologize to young women" for his quip.
