Margaret Cho ("comedian") receives 'hate' mail

scoop ^ | Walls

[evets]

Moby is defending his buddy Margaret Cho.

The comedian has come under attack for some anti-Bush comments — and now the techno-nerd, who has battled both Republicans and Eminem, is attacking Cho’s attackers.

“My friend Margaret Cho was making fun of George Bush during a comedy routine at the Moveon[.org] awards last week,” Moby writes in his online journal. “Matt Drudge took 2 sentences from her routine and printed them out of context along with a very unflattering picture.”

Moby reprints some startlingly ugly hate mail sent to Cho, much of which focuses on her weight and the slant of her eyes, and he admonishes: “This is the true face of the right wing in America. Judge for yourself and think of this vile right-wing hate the next time you turn on Fox News or listen to Rush Limbaugh or even the original ‘compassionate conservative’ George Bush.”

Shut up and... oh well, just shut up.

[Living Free in NH]

Cho looks like Moby - Moby Dick, that is.

[Only1choice____Freedom]

Shut up and... oh well, just shut up.

It appears that this is the face of the left wing activists today.

[al baby]

Quick kick it back in the water

[Bikers4Bush]

Moby is a ...., well you know.

[StoneColdGOP]

I've listened to Cho's routine's a few times, and she's actually pretty funny, when she's not talking politics.

[humblegunner]

That's Mick Mars of Motley Crue!

And this has been posted & pulled previously.

[freeangel]

OOOhh! Good one. After all, you're just "making fun" of Ms. Cho. And you didn't even have to use the "f" word to do it unlike the low class would be comedy "star."

[GulliverSwift]

It's so ironic that they can make jokes about Bush being a monkey and a daddy's boy but can't take it when the same standards are applied to them.

Ironic, but not unexpected.

[fooman]

My best friend's acquaintance brought this crap into my house.

I made my best friend watch her whole video while I got drunk.

It was priceless. Sort of like your dad giving you a cigar when are 7 years old.

Margaret Cho is a fat unfunny drug addicted drunk who makes a living making fun of her own race.

[mountaineer]

much of which focuses on her weight and the slant of her eyes

Oh, baloney. Who cares that she's of Korean ancestry. That she's an unfunny, Bush-hating lesbian (yes, I know, but I won't say it) is another matter.

[evets]

Yeah, she should stick to 'comedy'.

[GulliverSwift]

I've listened to Cho's routine's a few times, and she's actually pretty funny, when she's not talking politics.

Isn't that basically all the time?

[fooman]

Yep typical dem double standard. She should not feel bad when she wakes up and has lots of enemies....

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Moby is defending his buddy Margaret Cho.

Moby should know that if he and Cho are ever stranded on a deserted island...he can change his name to Lunch.

[MotleyGirl70]

LOL! I've seen Mick Mars posted on FR before.

From the article:

So in other words, they repeated her humor at her and she found it offensive. Sounds like a Democrat to me.

[VOA]

Cho looks like...

...Gott In Himmel...what happened to Margaret Cho!?

Sure she maybe looked good 10 years or so ago because she dieted...
but what has she done to herself?!?!

Any obscene mail she got over her MoveOn.Org comments couldn't be as ugly as what
she's done to herself over the years.

[ken5050]

Can you please help me?.What is a "Moby?"

[Betteboop]

Pardon my ignorance, but who is "Moby?" And, Margaret Cho used to be very funny--then she got fat, decided she was a lesbian and went political. Now she's not funny any more.

[cwb]

It's amazing how everything the left says is "taken out of context." I heard Weasley's campaign guy on Greta's show last night saying that right-wing radio has completely taken the Generals September 2002 testimony out of context. Dean gets in Steve Duce's face saying he never said anything about panic attacks...even though its in print in a magazine article. I have never seen so much blatant lying in my life.

[finnman69]

Exactly. Her act has consisted of making fun of: Koreans, her fat ass, her substance abuse problems and her propoensity to wake up in a puddle of her own urine.

Moby is a tofu eating little fruitcake. Eminem said it best.

And Moby? You can get stomped by Obie
You thirty-six year old baldheaded fag, blow me
You don't know me, you're too old, let go
It's over, nobody listen to techno

[humblegunner]

LOL! I've seen Mick Mars posted on FR before.

I meant the Cho article... I think the other thread got kinda out of hand.
In a good way, of course! ;-)

[finnman69]

Moby is a 'musicician' best known for selling out his songs for car commercials.

[GulliverSwift]

Can you please help me?.What is a "Moby?"

I guess the fellow is meaning to imply that he's been castrated.

[hchutch]

I seem to recall that Moby dished out some rather ugly comments at President Bush a while back. So, he and Margaret Cho can dish it out, but they can't take it?

Can't say much for consistency.

[MotleyGirl70]

Moby is a singer.

[SunStar]

Judge for yourself and think of this vile right-wing hate the next time you turn on Fox News

Hate like when Margaret Cho compares President Bush to Adolf Hitler? Give it a rest. It's the Left that is currently filled with hate. Plus, Moby's music sucks!

[MotleyGirl70]

LOL! I've seen Mick Mars posted on FR before.

Sorry typo. I meant "I've NEVER seen Mick Mars posted on FR before.

Ooops!

[KC_Conspirator]

Both Margaret Cho and Moby are hate-America filth and ought to be recieving hate mail for their despicable actions.

[ken5050]

You're kidding, right?...you've got to be kidding?...is it human?

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

So glad to see that they didn't point their finger to this website again!!!!!!!!

[sf4dubya]

He's related to Melville.

I am getting so sick of Moby running his mouth and calling our president a liar. I used to like his music... 13 years ago.

It's time to purge my CD collection.

[dfwgator]

Moby's music sucks.

Nobody listens to techno.

[GulliverSwift]

I was joking but one look at his picture and you can't help but wonder.

[StoneColdGOP]

It's been a while since I last saw one of her routines, she may have gone all politics these days.

Yech...

Margaret Cho's quotes:

And I got so drunk, I got so drunk that I actually woke up thinking, "Should I get up and pee, or just pee in the bed?" Actually weighing the pros and the cons. "Well, it'll be warm for a minute... It's a big bed, I'll just roll over... I'll just blame it on that guy!"

This old fellow came up to me and asked, "Excuse me, are you Japanese?" No, I'm Korean. "Oh really, that's very interesting, because I was looking at you and I knew you were not Filipino. I have many Filipino friends and you do not look like them because you're very HUSKY!!" Is that supposed to be some kind of a compliment?! "Oh no, it's not bad, you're very strong, very HUSKY!"

[An article about Ms. Cho] started out, "Funny, sexy, zaftig Margaret Cho..." What is "zaftig?" Isn't that German for "big fat pig?" I guess I was lucky; "zaftig" is kind of a nice word. It could have been, "Funny, sexy, OBESE Margaret Cho."

I love the word "faggot," because it describes my kind of guy! You see, I am a fag hag. Fag hags are the backbone of the gay community. Without us, you're nothing! We have been there all through history guiding your sorry ass through the underground railroad! ...We went to the prom with you!

I slept with a woman on the ship, and afterwards I was thinking, "Am I gaaaay? Am I straaaaight?" And then I realized: I'm just slutty. Where's my parade?

A Korean reporter once asked me, 'Do you think your Korean parents are ashamed because you talk about what you talk about on stage?' I said, 'I don't think they're ashamed because they're Korean. I think any parents would be ashamed.'

So from the age of 10, I became anorexic, and then bulimic, and then stayed that way for about twenty years, until one day I just said, Hey, what if this is it? What if this is just what I look like, and nothing I do changes that? So how much time would I save if I stopped taking that extra second every time I look in the mirror to call myself a big fat f*ck? How much time would I save if I just let myself walk by a plate-glass window without sucking in my gut and throwing back my shoulders? How much time would I save? And it turns out I save about 92 minutes a week. I can take a pottery class.

Monogamy is so weird. Like when you know their name and stuff.

This is a very strange time we're living in, ... and I would feel a little bit better if George W. Bush could say the word "nuclear" correctly...You would have thought somebody would have said something by now. At the very least, Condoleezza Rice would have got up in his face, "Foo', it's NU-CLE-AR!"

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Moby's needed a good buttkicking ever since his limpoid cover of the mighty Mission of Burma's "That's When I Reach For My Revolver".

BTW, the guy claims to be a Christian too.

[Grampa Dave]

Moby, Cho and Dean are the poster its of Rat Hate.

They dish out their venom on our president and conservatives 24/7.

Then, when some conservatives grow tired of their oral bully thuggery, they pound back at them. Then, these whining vipers of hate, cry, "Hate talk!"

[MotleyGirl70]

Good Eminem reference. I love that he rips Moby in "Without Me."

[r9etb]

then she got fat, decided she was a lesbian and went political. Now she's not funny any more.

Lesbian and political seem to go together. Political lesbians are not funny because leftist politics is all about anger.

BTW: You know you're listening to leftist political humor when, instead of laughter, a joke is met with angry applause.

[dfwgator]

Probably the only thing Mr. Mathers said that I agree with.

[GulliverSwift]

Yep, she's just as vile and disgusting as ever. How could anyone consider a person funny who boasts about not being able to control her own bladder?

[OldFriend]

You dish out hate and then you are amazed when hate is directed towards you?????????

[MotleyGirl70]

So how much time would I save if I stopped taking that extra second every time I look in the mirror to call myself a big fat f*ck? How much time would I save if I just let myself walk by a plate-glass window without sucking in my gut and throwing back my shoulders?

She's just another self-loathing liberal.

“My friend Margaret Cho was making fun of George Bush during a comedy routine at the Moveon[.org] awards last week,”...

I doubt most people are surprised at that given the childish rancor emanating from both establish factions. Someone told me it reminded them of a two headed dragon arguing with itself and in moments of rage, destroying everything around it but not damaging the body to which both heads are attached.

[oyez]

I thought by definition comedians were supposed to entertain people, make them laugh and make them feel at ease. Ms Cho must not be living up the meaning if she is getting hate mail. Apparently she is getting paid to be an activist and not to be funny. I suggest people be call what they really are if their monologues are full of political material. If their routines are reactionary it should be no surprise they get a reactionary response. Time to get out of the kitchen.

[dfwgator]

I bet Cho's hate mail pales in comparison to the hate mail Dennis Miller gets, but Dennis doesn't feel the need to publicize it.

[ImProudToBeAnAmerican]

EMIMEN quoted on FR? Excellent!
