The comediene gathering material in real life?

Activist rocker Moby is leading a jihad against cybergossip Matt Drudge, blaming him for inciting "far right-wingers" who sent abusive and racist E-mails to comedian Margaret Cho.
On his Web site and in private messages to friends, Moby has been claiming that Drudge "took out of context" Cho's stream of anti-Republican invective - intended as comedy shtick - during last week's moveon.org awards show at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
"I was outraged," Moby told me. "Everyone knows that Margaret's comedy is very irreverent and Lenny Bruce-style confrontational, and Matt Drudge took it out of context and exposed her to some really irresponsible and vile reactions."
"That's absurd," Drudge responded. He pointed out that the posts on drudgereport.com had clearly identified Cho as a "comedian" and set the scene for her profanity-laced remarks, which he published at length under the headline "RAW RAGE AT BUSH DURING MOVEON.ORG AWARDS."
A couple of days after posting the excerpts, Drudge published Cho's complete routine from the event.
Among her saltier observations, during the liberal group's celeb-studded gala to honor political ads attacking President Bush: "Despite all of this stupid bull-- that the Republican National Committee, or whatever the f-- they call them, that they were saying that they're all angry about how two of these ads were comparing Bush to Hitler? I mean, out of thousands of submissions, they find two. They're like f-- looking for Hitler in a haystack. ...George Bush is not Hitler. He would be, if he f-- applied himself."
After Drudge's account was linked by the right-leaning FreeRepublic.com, Cho received dozens of ugly E-mails, most of them unprintable in a family newspaper. (A typical message advised the California-born Korean-American: "Go back to Asia you slanted eye whore.")
On her own Web site this week, Cho wrote to a concerned fan: "I know that I have not pulled punches with the way that I beat the s-- out of Dumya, I mean Dubya."
Moby told me: "The only good to come of this is that the extreme right has shown their true colors. ...Bush is masquerading as a 'compassionate conservative,' but they've now exposed their extremely right-wing, misogynistic, racist agenda."
Drudge shot back: "Those E-mails are mild compared to what I receive on a daily basis. That is the nature of the Internet. Moby and his friends just have to 'butch up.'"
comedian Margaret Cho
Who?
The comediene gathering material in real life?
Who the f--- gives a s--- who? (as Moby or Cho would say...)
How do they make this connection unless the email authors stated they were freepers, you can't send her a Freep Mail.
So Cho never has to account for what she says because of artistic license? She can always squirm out of responsibility for statements?
I think not. And I'll need to see proof before I accept that all these vile emails she supposedly received were from actual FReepers. More likely DUmmies or DNC plants.

The only funny person on her comedy sitcom was her grandmother....who was a hoot, but couldn't make up for Margaret's lack of talent.
Having no luck with guys because she looked like a giant marshmallow with eyes, she decided to become a lesbian and try her luck elsewhere.
This is the first time that even her name has come up in years so she has to go for that extra 15 minutes of fame no matter what it takes.
And boy, didn't they try to spin it as "Rosanne" all over again...tried to spin her into being "family entertainment." And then, like Judy Tenuda, bits and pieces of who she really was started slopping out over the edge into the family audience they sought to gull, and dang, there went the ratings. (Combined with the fact that her character just wasn't likable or funny...)
"butch up" - I'd say some of those Hollywierd whacko fems already have "butched up".
Yada, yada, yada.
Same old kneejerk defensiveness from the "liberals can say anything they like, but nobody's allowed to criticize them" crowd.
Times change, Moby. It's you leftwingers that are the out-of-touch-with-the mainstream weirdos. So keep on beating the same old tune out on your tinny little drum. While you're at it, paint a big "L" on your forehead.
A nice parting shot by Drudge aimed at Moby's lack of masculinity and Cho's Rosie O'Donut-out-but-not-out status (I'm sure she really really likes Tom Cruise, just like O'Donut did when she was still masquerading as the Queen of Nice).
...and MobyYeah, I know that Eminem is disgusting, but it seemed to be an equally appropriate to Moby racist, misogynistic BS.

[mattdono turns away from computer] Hey honey, bring me another cup of coffee. And make sure you do the dishes before you leave for work. Oh, and make sure that meatloaf is on the table tonight when I get home.
[mattdono turns back to computer]
It's like I was saying, conservatives aren't misogynistic, we just like coffee, clean dishes, and meatloaf. <smirk>
SS.Her act is vile and irresponsible! Moby can't take it when it is put back at her. The little weasel should shut up!
