An apt description, cripplecreek.
It's hard to imagine someone writing to her and saying in effect, "Hi, I'm from the Free Republic website and don't like...." How does she know her hate mail is from Freepers?

She jokes about giving [redacted] to rescue workers after 9/11. She jokes about the myth of the vaunted G-spot. She even jokes about being fisted. But it isn't comedienne Margaret Cho's brash sexual jokes that have conservative groups protesting.
Cho, a self-professed liberal, will be flying in to fill Dodge Theatre with humorous jabs at, as she tells New Times, "whatever is happening around me that I find interesting and makes me feel like they should be talked about -- things like gay marriage, the Bush administration, and the war on Iraq. All of these topics need to be addressed."
And it's not like Cho hasn't addressed these topics before. In fact, that's where all her trouble started.
After a gala performance for MoveOn.org in early 2004, hate mail piled up after Cho joked about the Republican National Committee's smear campaign against MoveOn. Cho says excerpts from her comedy routine at the gala were taken out of context and posted on the Drudge Report and Free Republic. In effect, Cho says, her e-mail was rushed with racial blasts from right-wingers. Cho responded by posting the e-mails (complete with the senders' e-mail addresses) on her Web site, www.margaretcho.com. Pretty soon, she says, the same people who had insulted her were begging her to take their e-mail addresses off the site because they were receiving mountains of venomous retorts from her fans.
While some may choke on Cho's funny bone, she doesn't want to just preach to the choir. "It doesn't matter if you are conservative or liberal. It's more important if you are competent to really wake up to what's happening in the world," says Cho. "Just because you are with a certain party, [that] doesn't mean that you're going to necessarily believe everything that they do or believe everything that they say. Keep your mind open to everything."
Maybe even that elusive G-spot.
I dont have a problem with her posting email addresses on her website. If you are going to hide behind your keyboard, dont bother sending it all.
How about tasteless trashtalk from talentless "comics"?
"It doesn't matter if you are conservative or liberal….
as long as you are liberal.
Cho is a has been pig. I think she makes up most of her hate mail and protesters. Other than here, I never hear much about her these days.
"She jokes about giving [redacted] to rescue workers after 9/11"
I've heard it called many things, but [redacted] wasn't one of them... way to go, Margaret Cho. Givin' it up for the TEAM (sarcasm).
Right. Like she has fans.
It's right between her ears.
Goo-spot.(mush for brains)
Skank. She looks like an oriental Roseanne.

No wonder she thinks the G-spot overrated. And all this time I thought she was a woman!
I guess I have never heard of her. What's her claim to 15 minutes?
I think she had one failed sit com in the late 80s and that's pretty much the extent of her career.
I take offense at having my name so close to that hag's name.
Is this the fat girl that's not quite as funny as Ellen Degenerate, who isn't at all funny?
I guess he couldn't think of anything else off the top of his Austin HEAD
I think she, like Al Franken, was a washed-up, low-tier comic who realized that if she started pandering to a left-wing crowd, she'd be rewarded with money, popularity and rave reviews far beyond her abilities. She now plays in large theaters and has "documentaries" of her stand-up routines filmed and distributed to theaters while far better comedians are playing at the Improv, and it's all because she attacks the "right" people. Stupidly attacks them, but then, her audience is as stupid as she is, so they think she's brilliant.
Her act is perfect for a MoveOn crowd.
Here are the letters spoken of. I kind of doubt that freepers did this, but go judge for yourself. I particularly like this description of Free Republic from her site:
Free Republic, which a Klan/Neo-Nazi site
Drat, and me without my pillowcase....
Watched her once when she was self-deprecating about her weight and mother. She wasn't overly humorous then. Have never watched her again.
If someone is dumb enough to use their own email address for "hate mail", then they deserve to get spammed by Cho's loony, liberal fans.
For the past few years her only such claim is: "People on Free Republic hate me".
She had some funny jokes about her traditional korean mom reacting to corrupt and bizarre aspects of modern civilization.
Beyond that her gig is really tired.

RAW RAGE AT BUSH DURING MOVEON.ORG AWARDS; TRANSCRIPT REVEALED
**Exclusive**
The stars were out in Gotham on Monday night for the latest Bush Bashing Ball.
Followers of MOVEON.ORG gathered to unveil the winner of the website's Bush in 30 Seconds Contest.
But it was the action off the computer screen and on the stage at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom that's caused excitement.
Celebrity activists unleashed a raw torrent of insults and allegations against Republicans and the Bush Administration.
MARGARET CHO (Comedian) --
* "Despite all of this stupid bullsh-- 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 fu--ing looking for Hitler in a hawstack. You now? I mean, George Bush is not Hitler. He would be if he fu--ing applied himself." big, extended applause) "I mean he just isn't."
* "I think this last year has just proven how stupid Republicans are." (big applause -- leads into next bullet)
* "For example, Judge Roy Moore, or Jay Moore or whatever, in Alabama. [inaudible] ... Ten Commandments statue stay in the lobby of a courthouse. 'You can't move the Word of God! You cannot remove the Franklin Mint edition of the Word of God!' [said in Southern accent] People are protesting there and like, I think it could have been solved so much easier if they had just placed a golden calf next to the statue and then people would have started worshipping that. And then they could have moved the Ten Commandments to Bush's office -- which he needs them, desperately. Or maybe he needs a new version of the Ten Commandments -- George W. Bush's Ten Commandments: Thou shalt not steal...votes. (big applause) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's...country. (big applause) Thou shalt not kill...for oil. (big applause) Thou shalt not take grammar...in vain. (big applause) I mean, whatever fu--ing happened to separation of church and state? I mean, you can't like, impose your god on my god. God has many names. God is God, God is Jehovah, God is Allah, God is Buddah, God is Beyonce. (laughter) You know, you cannot impose your God on other people. And ah, George W. Bush is coming out with the weirdest stance on same-sex marriage as well. What he says about it is, well, 'well, we're all sinners.' No we're not! Just because somebody ate an apple one time does not make us all sinners. And if it was from the tree of knowledge, I think she should have eaten more than one. (laughter) Possibly even baked a pie." (applause) "I don't understand the whole same-sex marriage thing. He was quoted by saying, 'well, you you uh, just gotta take the speck out of your own eye before you take the co-- out of your neighbor's.'" [in Southern accent] (laughter)
* "I mean, I'm afraid of terrorists, but I'm more afraid of the Patriot Act." (big applause)
CHUCK D (Rapper -- Public Enemy)
* Cut off, but he appears to refer to American government under Bush Administration as "cancer of civilization."
* "But truly, seriously, quite frankly, the people are smart enough to realize that the world is important and we only have one life [or right, unclear], that's tired of this bullsh--, or better than that, tired of this Bushsh--" (big applause)
* "Americanization is like McDonaldization"
* "Son of a Bush and his crew is at it again, because, we do not want 8 years run by a Colon, a Bush and a Dick." (big applause)
JULIA STILES (Actress)
* "I was worried that some soldiers over in Iraq who are actually younger than I am would see some salacious report on MSNBC and think that I was attacking them and not the government that put them there. And I was afraid that Bill O'Reilly would come and, with a shotgun at my front door and shoot me for being unpatriotic. But I decided that that's actually, that fear that was silencing me is actually why it's so important that MoveOn exist and do this ad contest..."
AL FRANKEN
*"I'm Al Franken. I'm here to present the funniest ad award. I'm a last-minute substitution, former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill was supposed to be the presenter, but unfortunately he was murdered."
MOBY
*Said he had "contempt" for Bush, called him a "big fat f---ing liar."
Developing...
Back in the early 1990s she fronted "All-American Girl", a lame sitcom about an Asian-American woman living with her immigrant parents. I think it lasted about as long as Coupling.
Most of those guys would tell this pig to take a hike.
She's just another gross, cretinous leftie has-been, like Rosie O'Donnell, the aforesaid Roseanne, Madonna, Sandra Bernhard, Janeane Garofolo, Susan Sarandon, and all the other skanks. Bill Maher is welcome to them all.
Both of them?
"What's her claim to 15 minutes?"
She's fat.
Lame & Sitcom are redundant. I guess that's why I never heard of her. I'd opt for root canals before I watch any of those shows.
Don't stoop to the level of Al Gore.
Actually, I found that Ellen was very funny at times. The death knell for her show was the whole "coming out" thing that was a desperate tactic to stay on the air despite poor ratings. Her show went from being occasionally hilarious to a lame soapbox that interspersed leftist preaching with endless repetitions of the same old joke.
Yeah, can't see why everyone isn't rolling on the floor about this one...
Terribly unfunny woman. If she weren't a flag-carrying lesbian, she'd starve to death.
Where she posted the emails. Warning, some are profanity laced:
http://www.margaretcho.net/attacks_from_the_right.htm
Which do you prefer, the Glamour shot, with Hollywood backing and industrial-strength Photoshopping...
...or cold, hard reality?
"Thou shalt not kill...for oil. (big applause)"
What better thing to fight for than a limited resource that is absolutely necessary to our survival?
There can't be that much nutrition in carpet.
As much as leftists are taken "out of context", one would think they would learn to speak more clearly.
Another thread about how Moby says he was outraged he received hatemail about his speech and the speech of unfunny Cho.

IIRC I did opt for one. I actually sat down and started to watch her show once, after two minutes I turned off the TV and cleaned the bathroom instead.
I never thought she was funny before she started trying to do politics.
Now she's definitely "unfunny". But if people are willing to pay to watch her, and as long as it is kept off of broadcast television, I can ignore her.
