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.

Yup, it's the classic lefty excuse...."Oh I was just being satirical! It was just a joke! Don't you have any sense of humor?!?!? Geez!" It's the way leftist wriggle out of taking responsibility for their comments. So, because they're just being funny-ha-ha, they feel like they deserve to be given a pass on what they say. Glad to see they haven't ditched that transparent strategy...it's just indicative of how weak their arguments really are.

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

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.

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.

	Flame Warriors Evil Clown	Next Previous Warrior Index

	Evil Clown is very quick with a joke, but his jests always have a barb. He has little patience for in-depth discussions and will often disrupt exchanges between serious forum participants by introducing irrelevant topics, fatuous quips, and offhand comments. His greatest thrill is to taunt and humiliate weaker or more plodding Warriors with his snappy ripostes. When a strong Warrior finally corners him Evil Clown will attempt to escape by accusing his attacker of having no sense of humor.
