Activist rocker Moby
Who?

comedian Margaret Cho
Who?

[risk]

The comediene gathering material in real life?

[Spiff]

Who?
Who?

Who the f--- gives a s--- who? (as Moby or Cho would say...)

[McGruff]

After Drudge's account was linked by the right-leaning FreeRepublic.com, Cho received dozens of ugly E-mails

How do they make this connection unless the email authors stated they were freepers, you can't send her a Freep Mail.

[prairiebreeze]

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."

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.

Geez, Moby, grow a set. There is nothing worse than a whiney little girley rapper.

[kristinn]

Anybody can say they're a freeper in an e-mail. The FR reference is a gratuitous smear.

Margaret Cho is a shapeless mass of cholesterol that had her own TV show for a few weeks in the early 90's.

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.

Margaret Cho is a shapeless mass of cholesterol that had her own TV show for a few weeks in the early 90's.

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...)

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.'

"butch up" - I'd say some of those Hollywierd whacko fems already have "butched up".

[G L Tirebiter]

Moby and his friends just have to 'butch up.'"

Googled "butch up". LOL

[Kenton]

...Bush is masquerading as a 'compassionate conservative,' but they've now exposed their extremely right-wing, misogynistic, racist agenda."

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.

[Katya]

Nah, freepers didn't send those comments, they were far too banal and ignorant.
Any comments freepers would have sent would have been irreverant and insulting.

[HenryLeeII]

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.'"

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).

[kristinn]

I have no idea about that.

[mattdono]

All I can think of is (of all things) a line from an Eminem song:

...and Moby
you can get stomped by Obie,
you 36 year old bald headed f*g, bl*w me
you don't know me
you're too old
let go,
its over
no body listens to techno!

Yeah, 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>

"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."

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!
