Activist rocker Moby is leading a jihad against cybergossip Matt Drudge, blaming him for inciting "far right-wingers" who sent abusive and racist E-mails to comedian Margaret Cho.
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.

"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."

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. (A typical message advised the California-born Korean-American: "Go back to Asia you slanted eye whore.")

Moby told me: "The only good to come of this is that the extreme right has shown their true colors. ...Bush is masquerading as a 'compassionate conservative,' but they've now exposed their extremely right-wing, misogynistic, racist agenda."

1. "right-leaning FreeRepublic.com"?

extreme right or fascist are more apt descriptions.

2. you know what kills me about Matt Drudge...

...is he is a big ol' cocksucking homo. That's right, Queer as a Three Dollar Bill!!! What the fuck is he thinking???

I guess it's the equivalent of capos in the concentration camps.

You know, I've tried to get the following point across to my gay repug friends, that when the fascist, right-wingers open Camp Faggowicz, or whatever it will be called, they may not be on the first cattlecar, but you can bet they'll be on the second.

4. Drudge's sexual preference is irrelevant

except in terms of the hypocrisy and ignorance inherent in aligning himself with a group of people who wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. There is no place on a progressive message board for words like "big ol' cocksucking homo." It's offensive to me as a straight liberal male, and it is insulting to the many insightful and intelligent gay posters to this site.

5. I am a gay man and sorry if I offended you...

3. I love Moby.

He also has a pretty cool forum on his website.
