I doubt her paycheck is paid for by the same people that would consider this insulting. As I understand it this is pretty much how she talks all the time - on the show she won the award for. Besides... who's going to get a boycott? The 4+ Hour pre-recorded, shunted to basic cable hell technical Emmy presentation? It's pretty much boycotted as it is. A better boycott, if you're into that kind of thing, would be of her show (wherever the hell it airs). So air her comments and let people react as they may. As it is the group is STILL censuring her AND publically repeating her comments to whatever news outlets they can draw. So the speech is out there but only their side of it: we can't see the context, crowd reaction or anything else from the actual incident. > So who called it hate speech?
