So limbaugh is chopping up guests comments
He apparently is taking comments from a guest on "The Ed Show" and doing some heavy editing to suit his needs, or whatever one calls it. Well I hope limbaugh wants to take on Ed because I suspect it is a fight that Ed would welcome.

1. Limbaugh's at his best arguing with inanimate objects
I've never quite gotten an answer from his "fans" about why he doesn't have live guests, but instead insists on arguing only with pieces of audio and videotape. The shaggy guy down on the corner with his "The End Is Near" sign has a similar facility, but nobody puts him on the radio.

2. He used to take live guests
But then he had people calling in saying things he didn't like (you know, stuff that made sense or something like that) and he stopped doing it.

5. LIMBAUGH & MOVEON.ORG
Have you ever listened to Limbaugh? If not, do so. You won't
believe how many blatant lies, disinformation, and hate he
spews each and every day. 
Sadly millions listen and believe every word each day. Nobody
wants to realize it or acknowledge it, but Limbaugh has a
profound and pervasive impact on public 
opinion in this country at this time! We, who believe in
truth, must fight back in a concerted, organized way.

I have some good ideas as to how we can effectively do this.
It would be good for MoveOn to champion this, but I can't get
through to them to even present it.
Have you ever tried to communicate with MoveOn? Their mailing
address (U.S. mail, Board of Directors, and staff iare a
secret.  No info at all on the home page 
of the MoveOn website! No info available even via Google! Why
is that? I think that's very suspect. You can send them emails
until hell freezes over, but they never reply.
I have to conclude no one - certainly no one of any
significance - at MoveOn reads the email. Any ideas re either
issue?

7. I got a better idea, launch a boycott of his sponsors...
Edited on Wed Nov-17-10 09:42 PM by MrScorpio
Protest all of the stations that he's on.

Starve the beast.

Welcome to DU... I think.

EDIT: BTW Move On is totally web based, they don't have a fixed address or phone number, you contact them through their contact page: http://www.moveon.org/event/faq/index.html?expand_all=1&faq_id=45

9. HERE'S HOW WE CAN BEGIN TO STOP LIMBAUGH
These are just some of my thoughts as to how Limbaugh could be
significantly challenged.
I'm sure you guys will be able to offer additional good ideas
that I haven't thought of.
But, to be effective, it would require nationwide
coordination. MoveOn has organized local action
groups in various cities across the country. That's why I felt
that such a project would require 
adoption by a national organization such as MoveOn.  Limbaugh
airs on 560 stations!

(1) Numerous local citizens should harass - letters, phone
calls, picketing, petitions - any local radio station that
carries Limbaugh, but does not also
    air a progressive advocacy program. Demand that they be
"fair" and also carry the Ed Schultz show, or
another comparable show, and air it adjacent to Limbaugh's
time slot.

(2) Have numerous persons contact the station each and every
time Limbaugh tells a blatant lie.

(3) Identify primary advertisers and harass them. Sponsor a
boycott of them.

(4) Purchase large media adds with Limbaugh's photo, and in
each add just quote of one his blatant lies in bold print.
Then, follow that lie with
    an irrefutable rebuttal. Caption could be something like ,
"This Man is Not Telling You the truth". 

(5) Buy audio "truth" advertisements on the radio
station after his show has aired.

Yes, this would take a lot of money, a lot of dedicated
volunteers, and considerable coordination - like the other
side already has! They now even control "Dancing With the
Stars"!  But it would be so worth it. Nobody wants to
admit it, but this guy - along with FOX - has a profound and
pervasive influence on American public opinion today. We
progressives will keep losing the war because we aren't even
on the battle field that counts - the mainstream media.   . .
. Unchallenged lies are perceived as truth.
