The moral police is now attacking Chris Rock.

[Tim4319]

Now they are using his stand-up against him. I thought all about being funny, as a comedian, is to touch on the controversial subjects.

Last night, Matt Drudge crawled from up under this rock and appeared on Hannity & Combs attacking Chris Rock. These are some hypocritical, talking out of the side of their necks, idiots.

1. They are messing

with the right person. Chris, unlike them, has a brain, and he's got no problem telling them where to go.

2. Hypocrites indeed

Blowing up Fallujah... MORAL!!!!

Controversial Comedy... SATAN!!!!

3. Rock will slice and dice Drudge into pieces.

and do it in public too.

"bring it on"

4. Actually, it's Oscar people complaining about Rock

For saying some politically incorrect things in relation to the Academy Awards.

I don't see where right wing moralists have anything to do with this story.

[mattclearing]

5. No, actually, they aren't.

One of the Academy heads said he hadn't heard anything from the membership, and that it was much ado about nothing.

8. No, they aren't

The people involved with the Oscars are standing by Rock

It was Matt Drudge who decided to talk to a few "anonymous" members and make it front page news all day yesterday. I guess nothing else was interesting enough for him.

Aren't their like eighty threads on Chris Rock on here? Popular dude.

[Tim4319]

11. I was manly talking about what was said last night, on H&C.

Also, how they are attacking him for what he said about abortions in is act. Plus, the moral issue I have with them is, they are against abortion but for the death penalty.

6. i want chris on MSM, .....hardball, scarsborough, wolfie

i want chris on fox yelling about this attack on him. i want him to plaster all MSM. he can take em all on in such courage and ridicule

[ultraist]

7. LOTS of *quotes* with no sources in that article! LMAO!!

Not one person is credited for those statements. What a joke of a report---more sludge.

Does Drudge realize that Chris Rock himself is an artist, just like actors & singers?

How many times have we heard jokes about actors from hosts on those award shows? Billy Crystal comes to mind. Drudge needs to get a grip on reality.

10. They're just trying to get him booted before he can get the mic.

There are a lot of people who watch the oscars, and Chris Rock is a million times more persuasive than Michael Moore.

They are understandably terrified.

[Tim4319]

13. I believe the Republicans are scared of what Chris might say.

You know the "Commander In Chimp" does not like to hear bad news!

[InfluenzB]

9. I think Chris Rock can take it!

[KurtNYC]

12. Chris Rocks rips on RW types

called the RNC "the million white boy march"

His bits have been used to great effect in a Michael Moore movie (Bowling). That is probably a huge crime in their books.

14. Comedians, they are very dangerous: they make us laugh at ourselves

Chris rock will be doing this in front of millions at the Oscars. And a comedian, well the best comedians, punch through to the truths we hold dear and make us laugh at ourselves. And why would the Bush White House not want us to laugh at ourselves? Our weaknesses, our stupidity, our foibles and the things we need to learn about to be better (and more informed) human beings?

Drudge? What is wrong with growth? The only people who are threatened by a little emotional growth would have to be ... adolescents.
