Racist Republicans Matt Drudge & Shawn Hannity Going After Oscar Host Chris Rock

Here's a chance to see how much power conservatives have over MSM.  It's just begun in the last couple of days so follow along and see how it plays out. It begins with Drudge bashing Chris Rock as a choice to host the Oscars due to some quotes from his routines that are sure to enrage conservatives, particularly the radical right and evangelicals. Drudge expands his reach by taking it to Hannity and Colmes Monday night, where he is granted not one, but two segments-- alone --with no guest taking the other side. Crooks and Liars has the video.... Despite Drudge's ambiguous denials of an agenda to get Rock de-invited to host the Oscars, I'm not buying it. He repeated the same lines by Rock over and over, hoping to cause a firestorm and create a groundswell of support for Rock's ouster. Variety reports that the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences is firm in having Rock host the Oscars. It also says it hasn't heard any opposition from members. Not only that, the Academy released a firm statement of support today for Rock. [more]


COLMES: You can look at any of his material. I mean, clearly, he's an edgy comedian. And that's the kind of -- he's making a social comment. You may or may not agree with him. That's what he does.

The point being what, he should not -- are you suggesting he shouldn't host the Oscars because of his political point of view?

DRUDGE: Alan, this is supposedly the classiest night in Hollywood. It is our largest export to the world, the entertainment business still. Sorry about that Wal-Mart.

Why in the world would they pick this gentleman to represent them? This is the question I have. Now, I'm not the one driving this. I was approached recently by a household name who is furious that the Academy has gone to this extent to shore up the ratings.

We just got word the Grammy Awards last night hit a 10-year low for hitting the high road. Queen Latifah singing "Lush Life," not rapping. They couldn't get a number.

So now, in an effort to get a number, they have gone so far down market. This gentleman, Chris Rock, has one rant, 35 f-words a minute.

Alan, don't you think, in the history of Oscars, Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, the history of class, of the class act, why have they gone to such a lewd route to shore up their ratings? It's a story. [more]
