When he started to physically resemble one.

I have no problem with slanted eyes. It's her slanted political views and annoying way of displaying them that make me want to put her on a boat. And not to Asia. They have enough problems.

[Bikers4Bush]

Michael Stipes lookalike boyfriend?

[PaulaB]

Hey Moby...why don't you stay focused on your side and its "RAW RAGE"...and we'll take care of ours!!!

[Lizavetta]

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.

Sorry, but you cannot prove that Freepers wrote them, only that they came from FreeRepublic. Any schmuck could go to FreeRepublic and send all kinds of garbage to anyone, for the sole purpose of making the website look bad.

P.J. O'Rourke on Moby in Forbes:

MOBY

Why Anyone Cares
Moby, who looks like something the guinea pig just gave birth to, is a Beck for the next, even worse, generation. He blends "archival blues and gospel vocals with modern day techno." Techno being a form of music that sounds like a combination of a skipping record, the chime when you leave the car door open, the microwave telling you it's finished with defrosting and the spin cycle on your washing machine.

Inside Information
Moby is very antiestablishment, which is so mainstream these days that every track from his recording Play has been sold for use in a feature film, TV show or commercial.

More Inside Information Than You Needed
Moby is also a vegan. Vegans eschew not only meat but any food that "exploits animals." This is why, when the rest of your family was having steak and you offered your daughter with a nose ring a toasted cheese sandwich instead, she got all huffy and went out and grazed in the yard.

Knowing Comment
Unnecessary. Just the fact that you realize he's not a novel by Herman Melville puts you ahead of the game.

A Message from Moby's Website
"I define basic rights . . . as the framers of the constitution put it, the ability to have 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.' "

Private Thought
"That would be the Declaration of Independence, hay-breath."

[JoJo Gunn]

Yep, with them it's "edgy" and "hip". But with us we're racist and homophobic Klan types.

[Itzlzha]

I really hope that was no one from here. If so, shame on you.

Why...if it was they were only "being satirical", and what happened to "Free Speech"?

I guess it's only OK to stereotype and be a racist bigot and claim it humor if you are a LIEberal, huh? Because that's what Magaret Chunk has been her entire career!

Besides, she and Moby share the radical gay agenda, so anything that shines a light on the cockroaches is good by me!

[RebelBanker]

From Ms. Cho's Web site: ...I beat the s-- out of Dumya, I mean Dubya.

From IMDb.com: [Margaret Cho] Got kicked out of Lowell High School Because she had an 0.6 GPA but later she was accepted to McAteer High School for the Performing Arts.

OK, so W has an MBA from Harvard Business School and this obnoxious twit got a high school diploma from some "Performing Arts" school after flunking out of a regular high school. Who's the dummy here?

[Land of the Free 04]

"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."

Where's the pride in craft? This needs very heavy editing. It should have no more than one f-word, and should lose everything but the actual jokes: "looking for Hitler in a haystack" and "George Bush would be Hitler if he applied himself." Then it needs to lose the first joke, which is weak.

[Dante3]

I think Cho sent some of those e-mails to herself so she could rant about them.

[antiRepublicrat]

Why...if it was they were only "being satirical", and what happened to "Free Speech"?

I didn't say whoever it was couldn't say it, only that he should feel shamed for doing so. All of our freedoms come with the responsibility to use them right. Anyone who wrote that, if from FR, brought discredit upon us all.

[Itzlzha]

Moby, eh? So.........when did he drop the Dick?

...When he was finished?

Ba-DOM-Boom! "Thank you, I'll be here all week!"

[cwb]

That's exactly right. I remember the Eminem flap a couple years ago when he attacked homosexuals and women. When it was learned that Bette Midler may be presenting him with a Grammy, she was asked what she thought of Eminem's bigotry. She excused it by calling it artistic expression. It should be noted that this is when Eminem also sung a duo with Elton John, who excused his bigotry, as well.

Liberals get away with their hatred and vitriol under the guise of comedy, poetry and artistic exression. Yet, for all the hatred they espouse to others, they throw tantrums when the same is levied at them. What was so artistic about Baldwin hoping that someone would stone Henry Hyde and his family to death? Or Spike Lee hoping that Heston would be killed by a .44 Magnum...or that Clearance Thomas would die of heart disaease, being fed high cholesterol food from his wife? They can try to disguise their hatred anyway they want. The fact remains, these people are the most hate-filled, intolerant people in this country.

[Lizavetta]

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

What do emails from a website have to do with whatever Bush does? Are these people that stupid?

That said, why is okay to call Rush Limbaugh fat, LInda Tripp ugly, Kathleen (Kathryn?) Harris from Florida a cakeface, but it's not okay to call Margaret Cho slant eyed? She HAS slanted eyes, does she not?

Moby, what a dick

[pogo101]

Moby says that Drudge took Cho's remarks "out of context."

I've read Cho's own 'version' of the transcript of her remarks, and even that -- the accuracy and completeness of which I can't verify -- shows that Drudge's selections were entirely fair representations of what she said and did.

So why this "out of context" comment, when (I'm betting) even Moby knows perfectly well that the context changed nothing about how a reader would view the Drudge quotes? Reason: Moby's hoping that many of his readers will just infer that Cho didn't say or mean what was quoted ... and that they won't even bother to check it themselves, preferring to take Moby's implication of unfairness at face value.

It sounds like Ms. Cho is practicing "hate speech". Maybe she should face the wrath fo the left for this. Oh wait, it's ok if for the left to say hateful things because they are superior to the rest of us.
