“It’s spread like a virus,” he said.
Cohen estimates more than 3,500 e-mails were sent to his show regarding the controversy.
“I’ve seen the Taliban less defensive,” Cohen said. “If this was being done in Afghanistan or Pakistan, we’d call these people terrorists. A lot of them are little cowards hiding behind their computers.
“(But) I feel my life and my livelihood is at stake.”
Some e-mails compare Cohen’s comments to blaming the victims in the World Trade Center for Sept. 11.
“You almost wonder what they are protesting so much?” Cohen said. “Why do they care so much about what some nebbish in California in a soccer wasteland thinks? This is terror tactics from one club’s fans that are hypersensitive.”
It’s insane what lengths people will go to these days, isn’t it? You would think that people could understand that everyone who pushed into an overcrowded stadium, could take responsibility for the dangerous conditions, but I guess not.
