Avoiding more pressing matters since 2020

One More Posting on Political Celebrities

I will try your patience no further on this subject, but Alan over at Oy Va VoY! links to this interesting development. Apparently the comedienne Margaret Cho (among other left-leaning celebrities) was speaking at a MoveOn event. Matt Drudge subsequently posted excerpts from her speech, and she was innundated with hate-mail for being overweight, Chinese, gay and a Democrat. Cho (or her Web assistant) then posted all of this hate mail, complete with names and email addresses, on her Web site.

This is a great move, as it highlights the ignorance, racism and homophobia of the senders. According to Cho, people are begging her to remove their email addresses from her site. Once again we’ve got a reminder that the world may read what you write in an email, and it lasts forever. Online, you always reap what you sow.

So, this is another side of ‘coming out’ as a political celebrity. I’m sure the Dixie Chicks suffered a far greater onslaught of character assasination (they’re fortunate to be straight and Caucasian) after their off-hand remark on their European tour.

  3. Here’s what I found funny about the whole thing:

    MoveOn.org was a group created to encourage people to “move on” from the various sexual harassment issues Bill Clinton was faced with, right? Or perhaps it was Monica Lewinsky, specifically.

    Margaret Cho gets up there to address this crowd of forward-looking people and starts making cracks about the 2000 election.

    Mayhaps she should MoveOn, too.

  4. I am often amazed at the email I get on various topics. Loons on the right, loons on the left – they all seem to share the same love of illiterate invective. Good for Margaret Cho for posting the full monty.

  6. Yeah but they left a link to some guy’s website that has one of the worst things I’ve seen on the web, sans “not safe for breakfast/work/kids/the elderly/etc.” warning. Clickers beware.
