Or as Chris Rock might say "F-- Y--, its free speech you cracker"! I use to like Chris Rock, thought he was funny even though he drops the F bomb way too much. Then I see the stuff The Drudge Report quotes Rock as saying about the Oscars (which he is/was to host) and other topics he clearly has informed opinions on. I've lost all respect and interest in him and anything he's associated with. I'm sure if the Academy fires him he will be throwing the "free speech" F bomb left and right...probably even say its related to race! Many liberals don't understand how the reaction to their opinion has nothing to do with free speech. Case in point the Berkeley couple who like to hang stuffed soldier uniforms from their Sacramento rental property with anti-American slogans along with various flags that also garner harsh reaction. They think all the press, the people in the community calling them names, etc. is somehow an attempt to stifle their freedom of speech! WHAT, are you idiots?...nobody (at least no sane people) are saying you can't put up your effigy, or flags, or promote your hatred of Bush or his politics! In fact the people who now hate you, are calling you names and so on are probably more concerned about that freedom than you are. You're confusing bad public reaction to your idiotic behavior with the government showing up and telling you to stop. Your ok with your stupid and obviously unpopular opinion hanging on the front of your rental house (but not the one you live in..chicken sh*t) but you're not ok with the reaction it fosters! What has that to do with free speech?
Academy...fire Rock's A$$

As usual, Drudge did a mealy mouthed reporting job, so I'd hold back on your reaction. The "quotes" weren't from a press conference. Rather, they were from a near-genius standup performance on HBO: Never Scared. It's ok to not like what he says Tiny. I'm a liberal and I agree with nearly everything you said about free speech. So feel free to consider him an ass. But Drudge (yet again) has been dishonest. To show individual quotes from a comedy show as representative of someone's mind is so ludicrous, it deserves little thought. And before you call me a liberal, I'll tell you my some of favorite writers are Buckley and George Will. Drudge is the right's version of Al Franken - a bomb thrower with little to no journalistic abilities.
anony...ya I see that Drudge can pull the trigger or fabricate a story when it should be one....I'll see how this plays out and follow up.
I wonder why Drudge doesn't like Chris Rock?
Hmmm....
