Really- they just hate his policies:
MARGARET CHO (Comedian) —
* “Despite all of this stupid bullsh– that the Republican National Committee, or whatever the f— they call them, that they were saying that they’re all angry about how two of these ads were comparing Bush to Hitler? I mean, out of thousands of submissions, they find two. They’re like fu–ing looking for Hitler in a hawstack. You now? I mean, George Bush is not Hitler. He would be if he fu–ing applied himself.” big, extended applause) “I mean he just isn’t.”
Yawn. Charming people. And remember- it is only January.

where is the link? I’d like to see more context.

Link
There’s also Julia Stiles and Al Franken “joking” that Bush and O’Reilly are murderers…

I didn’t realize what a vile, hate-filled “ignant” person Margaret Cho was until I read her lunatic screed on Thanksgiving.
That link to Drudge had some disgusting stuff.
drew
Oh God, the Franken was obviously joking and Franken did not accuse any one. Cho *=unfunny* comment is way over the top and the Stiles comment was pretty stupid. We KNOW this HAS to be TRUE because it is from Drudge.
What does Mickey Kaus say? “Drudge Report: 80% true, close enough!”
Dimmy Karras
This was a long event from which Drudge has cherry-picked the parts most convenient for his agenda of portraying liberals as frothing-at-the-mouth Bush haters. Never mind that the ad that won the competition points out the inconvenient fact that Bush has created a huge deficit. And the Franken line is hilarious, come on.
Gregory Litchfield
Dimmy – By that logic Trent Lott did no wrong when he praised Strom Thrumond’s segregationalist past, since that really was only one little sentence out of the entire event, and therefore not indicative of the overall tone of the event.
Right?

Margaret Cho is now the leader of the Republican party in the US Senate? I find her somewhat funny, but was not aware she held so much power.
*yawn*

Wow, Oliver. Congratulations on making absolutely no sense. Just when I thought you couldn’t make any less sense, you have to go and prove me wrong.
So, the logic here is, the less power you hold, the more stupid you can be? What, is there a contest?
Guess that pretty much tosses out all of your frothing about O’Reilly, since he’s got almost exactly zero more power in government than Cho has. Eh?
HH
Last I checked, O’Reilly wasn’t a major player in the Republican party unlike MoveOn and Soros…
Yeah, I’m sure if Limbaugh went on the air today joking that Dean had that Ungerer guy “knocked off,” the left would be saying how funny it was…

Olive, I’ll remember that the next time you get a woody going off on Ann Coulter.
Oliver
Coulter/Limbaugh/O’Reilly aren’t part of the RNC (at least not on the surface) so they similarly don’t have the same audience to answer to as Senator Lott. But the poster above me was comparing something from the chattering class (of which I am also a member) to the utterances of a frigging United States Senator. Call me old fashioned, but my standards are higher.
Slartibartfast
Since the comparison was by way of analogy, Oliver, you’re getting all het up over nothing. Gregory didn’t say Lott’s comments should get a pass, he said that by Dimmy’s logic it should have. Big difference.
HH
O’Reilly handled the Stiles thing well tonight…

Please!! Margaret Cho is a comedian!! She was doing a stand up on politics. If a man had said what she said, everyone would have laughed, but instead people have turned on her because of her gender, race and looks. Don’t take everything so seriously!! However, that Thanksgiving thing makes a good point. We did take a land that was not ours to take and killed off the Native people. While she takes an extreme stance on this, who can argue? It’s history! I think Christopher Columbus needs to stop getting a day! Anyway, just calm down with your hate commments. Or do your own stand up act and you’ll find out how hard it is. Kisses….Amy
