Don't mess with Margaret Cho!

[johnfunk]

Here's a simple equation: Matt Drudge+Margaret Cho+Selective quotation=Blowback for the FReepers!

Seems ol' Egg-boy Drudge selectively quoted comic Margaret Cho's scathing and hilarious Monday appearance at the MoveOn.org shindig in NYC.

Someone posted Drudge's report to Free Republic, and the FReepers went berserk, showering Cho's manager with a torrent of racist, misogynistic hate mail.

Now, some of them are likely to regret it: both Cho's Web site and American Politics Journal published a slew of FReeper hate mail -- including e-mail addresses and other contact information. Some are corporate types (boycotts anyone?) -- and one is a civil servant who wrote from a West Virginia .gov address (time to call the state inspector general...)

This oughta be fun...

1. Doesn't suprise me

Freepers are about the lowest form of life on this here planet.

[KCDem]

2. the hate mail is pretty amusing.

I don't feel so bad knowing that what we're up against is uneducated lamebrains who can't think of anything to say besides a few choice racial slurs and vulgar terms for female genitalia.

I really hope all of the smart conservatives out there will soon give up the neanderthal branch of their party.

[quispquake]

3. Good god...

The level of HATE these people have is truly appalling...I commend Ms. Cho for posting this info...the racism & hate totally sickened me...

[revcarol]

4. 'Nuf to make you sick.

Hey, is there a site where I could see her act? Missed it. Now i realize I missed something special.

Edit: can someone google up that Luss Group?Boycott? And there telephone numbers are right there, published out in the open.

[quispquake]

5. If you have Showtime...

They're showing both her movies this weekend...otherwise, they're easily rentable...

[americanstranger]

20. Southampton, Long Island

My nabe.

I called and left Kevin a message that he was a racist and that I was ashamed to share an island with him.

Funny, tho. 'The Luss Group' is not listed in any business directory out this way. Either it's an illegal business, or some racist dork and his brother operating out of their mom's basement.

Either way, he's a dork. Kevin, if you or your freeper buddies are reading this - go fuck yourselves.

Love,
-as, an Angry Democrat. Get used to us, we are everywhere.

[ronnykmarshall]

33. Guess Kev's voice mail gonna full!

Opps, gotta take my phone off hold. Hope Kev enjoyed the musak we have on our phones.

25. basically, it was her revolution tour act

i think you can preorder a dvd copy from her site

[xchrom]

6. my hero

i just love her -- i wonder how many gay men have proposed to her?
she is so cool.

8. Geez!

Abortionist bitches?! Slant-eyed whore?! My God, these people make me :scared:

[supernova]

9. They want her

to "go back where you came from" LOL! Where? You mean 'Frisco? ;-)

[eissa]

15. My favorite quote

from a Native American comic. Was talking politics with someone who didn't appreciate his criticisms and gave him the "go back where you came from" line -- so he started camping out on the guy's front lawn!

[ellie]

37. Hilarious! n/t

[supernova]

10. Sent an email to the webmaster

at margaretcho.net. Invited them to join us here at DU.

[proud patriot]

11. hehehehehehehehehe

:evilgrin:

[Logansquare]

12. The one from the DOT guy in WV was a hoot

Oh yeah, she lost a lot of *fans* in the DOT...I hope the loss of those tickets won't hurt her!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

31. yeah

as a taxpaying wv, i informed his superiors of his attempts to speak on behalf of the WV DOT in his freeper rantings

[Rainbowreflect]

13. What unbelievably sick, racist people those freepers are.

They cannot make a single coherent argument so they sink to racist, sexist, personal attacks.
I know, big surprise.

[ronnykmarshall]

14. Margaret will kick their asses!!

She does this one joke in her new show about how some freeper woman got a stick up her ass when Magaret told a joke about GW.

"The bitch sends me this letter: 'Dear Ms. Cho, How dare you speak of OUR president in such a manner' blah, blah, blah.' Then she get all her friends in her office to sign it."

"So I wrote her back: 'FUCK......YOU' and I had all MY friends sign it."

[jonnyblitz]

18. LOL

I love that response. Simple and to the point! "FUCk....YOU" :toast:

this is why I have always loved Margaret Cho.

[nostamj]

29. oh, I NEEDED that laugh!

thanks for the post!!

[no_arbusto]

40. I experienced something similar at an actual comedy show

I went to see Greg Giraldo (Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn) at a comedy club in Pittsburgh about a year ago. It was the late show and there were probably only 10 people there, 8 people there to see him and 2 out of towners who happened to be staying in the hotel next to the club. Anyway, Greg made a joke about the drug addicted "coke monkey" that was running the country. A woman with a very severe southern/hick accent (nothing against the south, I used to live there) stood up and said, "Hey, that's our president". Greg said something like "Hey lady, you think I'm making this shit up? Where have you been? That scar wasn't from a pretzel lady." He then continued to pick on her for the rest of the set.

16. Incredible

The language, the bigotry, the misogyny, the hatred, the ignorance, the spelling! Those should be posted on every one of our side's sites. Just like "fair and balanced" - every blog should post those. Expose the bastards - it's our best weapon.

[Cocoa]

17. these are the people

telling the dems to "love their neighbor." :puke:

[ronnykmarshall]

19. Amazing how stupid these people are

Margaret was born and raised in the SF. Yet this asshole named Kevin Luss refers to her "adopted home town".

I love that they've posted not only the e-mail addresses of these jerks, but some of the idiots have their phones numbers still on their e-mail signature.

Not that I am suggesting that ANY of these fine Americans be spammed with porn or such.

[SoCalDem]

32. Hmmmm. Luss... That sounds like a GERMAN name :)

:):) or maybe it was shortened from Lussinski.. or maybe Lusseau..??

[0rganism]

21. I hope she offers a suitable response to this crap

Margaret has a microphone and a wide fanbase. She can do a lot to mobilize people, if she wants to.

[ronnykmarshall]

24. I hope so too

She's got us gay guys by our balls! (and we love her for that!)

[rucky]

22. I put some of the email addys on the Anal University mailing list

hee hee

[ronnykmarshall]

26. How about Faxs?

One of those freeper's has his fax number on his e-mail.


How do you sign up some one to get fax-spam?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

23. forward this to every media whore

like brit hume and wolf blitzer who reads cherry-picked DU posts on their 'news' programs

[rumguy]

27. it's time to expose these cowardly freepers, get these saps fired!

[ronnykmarshall]

28. Ironic

The same guy that has this on his yahoo profile:


"John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life."


Sent this e-mail to Margaret Cho:

You are a f'n loser... I am hoping you develop breast cancer or contract a flesh-eating disease and pass it on to your whole f'n family... you b!tch.

It is liberal democrats that are f'n up the world. Women have had over 40,000,000 abortions in 30 years, that more lives killed then men in this country have killed in all the wars we have fought in combined. At least men can claim they did it in the name of LIBERTY and FREEDOM, women claim they kill in the name of CHOICE?



Ain't freepers just so full of the lord?

[LoZoccolo]

30. Another irony is the Free Republic thread title.

RAW RAGE AT BUSH DURING MOVEON.ORG AWARDS; TRANSCRIPT REVEALED

[demgrrrll]

34. Didn't Bush intervene in the Fresno FR lawsuit? Wouldn't it be great

To blanket the internet with this information and a sample
of what Bush supports? I may be wrong but I think that
the FR is about to be awarded a large sum of money that is based on their assertion that they are not a "hate speech" site. Maybe someone has a better memory than I do and this is off base but it seems to
me that someone in the Bush administration went to bat for these folks.

[johnfunk]

35. Dear Mr. Smirk: Your pals in Fresno...

... you know, the ones on whose behalf you personally intervened with the Fresno authorities ... well, here's a sampling of the sort of stuff they engage in.

Don't the words "hate speech" mean anything to you?

Yours, a disgusted citizen

PS: Can't wait to November to fire your disengaged, ignorant ass!

[tinanator]

42. stop the silly conjecture

wouldnt it be better to deal in facts? Theyre bad enough as is.
$60,000 taxpayer dollars to fuel Wheelchair Jim's urban assualt vehicle's cross country KKK rally run. Even without all the outrageous factual background, this should outrage everyone and
go a little further in humiliating Fresno on the national stage.

[demgrrrll]

44. Conjecture? Please take a look at the link below

<http://indybay.org/news/2004/01/1667532.php> Gee wonder if the Fresno FR lawsuit came up at their meeting, nah, I'll bet neither one of them thought to bring it up, slipped their mind.

[tinanator]

45. that article is bullshit

not even conjecture. That idiot needs his ass kicked. take it from someone who knows. All you are trying to do is inflate the legend of a bunch of demented racists who couldnt get an appointment with the BFEE if their pathetic lives depended on it. Conjecture? That article is a lot worse than conjecture. It is the next best thing to a pocketful of money.

[Clark4VotingRights]

36. Progressives are learning how to fight back.

We damn well better...

[no_arbusto]

38. I'm sure the guys at WVDOT were big fans before this!

I thought it was pretty funny that the guy who works for the WV Dept. of Transportation said that he and the other boys in the "office" (road salt shed) were going to boycott all of her shows. Something tells me that they weren't really her target audience to begin with.

[spooky3]

39. I think it's nice that WV doesn't demand that they work for their pay

so they have plenty of "office time" to discuss Margaret Cho.

[Catherine Vincent]

41. Wow! These Freakfreeps are really sad.

There is nothing wrong with writing someone about your disagreement with what they said or did but to call this woman those names is just totally sick. Ms. Cho said things about bush that they don't like? Why take it so personal? She wasn't talking about them. Geeze. I can't believe one had the nerve to wish a disease on her. I know it shouldn't surprise me with all that is said about Bill and Hillary (and Chelsea). We've said some things about dumbass but nothing like that. And to bring her ethnicity in this is so republican. These notes should be mailed to every asian republican there is and let them see what type of people they are voting with.

These people call themselves christians? Republicans should be very proud of themselves.

[Jack Rabbit]

43. Don't mess with anyone who buys ink by the barrel

!!

[johnfunk]

46. Cho story gains legs -- and The Farmer lends his "analysis" to the e-mails

Salon mentions it in their MoveOn piece today.

analyses some of the more odiferous e-mails.

And don't forget: Cho on Showtime tomorrow!

[kodi]

47. so funny! seems the best disinfectant to fight fungus is with daylight

anyone else remember what the freepers did to the worker at that texas bar who got the bush twin arrestd for underage drinking?

they published the woman's phone number, address, a map to her house and her email address, along with scads of emails and FR posts threatening her.

so what has been done back to them is poetic and divine justice

[Snivi Yllom]

48. angry racist nuts

Margararet is a hero and they are filthy scum.
