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.
