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....
