New Margaret Cho thread up at Freek Republik
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1058004/posts

Margaret Cho posts hate mail from MoveOn.org comments (mentions FR)

2. Yep. Play the race card. When all else fails, call your opponent a racist.

5. She's Asian? I thought she was from the Rosie O'Donnell stock.

6. If those emails are legit that's not cool folks. Her comments are ignorant, but there is no excuse for racial and ethnic slurs.

7. Free speech is a bitch ain't it Ms. C-Ho.

10. Good grief. I read her vulgar and hateful words. You mean she can spew but others cannot comment lest they be labeled "hateful"? As usual, the libs can dish it out but sure refuse to take it.

1. What they say is 100 time worse than what they

3. fantastic.
They were dumb enough to include their real names and addresses.

One guy e-mailed from his business!

How stupid.

I love when stuff like this happens, because a lot of people deny how common these attitudes are. People like this are cowardly and hide. They were dumb enough to attach names to their comments - so much the better for us.

4. I like the speculation on where the letters "really" came from
DUers sent them, Margaret wrote them herself, etc. etc.

So much for Republican "personal responsibility", if it ever existed.

5. how can it be?
How can someone live as a Freeper without ever having encountered this sort of racist, homophobic garbage? I mean, really. Who are they trying to kid by acting 'surprised' about it?

6. they're threatening boycotts?!? LOL
we all know that margaret cho's career has only sustained itself because of her massive, dedicated freeper following through the years. why this will surely be career suicide for her!

btw, I had the plaesure of seeing margaret's 'revolution' tour a few months ago. most of what drudge ran is material she's been doing for a while now. if you get a chance, check out the show. It's one of the best

12. Love her!
I've been a fan of Margaret's since the early days. I used to see her perform at Josie's Cabaret in the Castro in SF.

I think Karen's been working with her for a long time.

8. All of the emails to Margaret Cho read like they were from Tom DeLay.
Is it true that John Wilkes Booth was the original freeper?

11. If you read the comments around 100 or so...
...they're starting to really bitch at each other now. And, of course, the denial that they actually sent the letters continues...
