Check out this link, it's pretty interesting (that is in a really disturbing kind of way).

Margaret Cho, a left of center comedian, apparently did a performance at a Moveon.org show. In the set she criticized President Bush, and so the transcript was posted by Matt Drudge, which was then posted on to the conservative website freerepublic.com site. After that, Margaret Cho received all sorts of hate mail, which she has posted on site linked to above.

I'm not familiar with exactly what Margaret Cho said at the event, so I can't vouch for whether or not her comments about Bush were over the line. But, as indicated on her website, it appears from the hate mail that her biggest crime was being an Asian American. Go ahead and follow the link, it's shocking the sort of racist things people wrote in.

Which begs the question: what sort of person reads freerepublic.com?

Perhaps this is just stating the obvious, but there seems to me to be a strong racist undercurrent in the Republican party. Of course there is all the stuff about Trent Lott, Strom Thurmond, Southern Strategy, Rehnquist, Pat Buchanan, Confederate Flag and Bush's race baiting with the Judge Pickering nomination, etc, etc, etc. But even all that aside, it seems that when ever you scratch the Republican Party (like Margaret Cho did) racists come pouring out.

I'm not saying that all Republicans are racists, but can you imagine a conservative comedian/commentator getting such racist hate-mail from angry liberals? If anyone can show me an example of that, I'll eat my figurative hat.
