What To Do About Rush Limbaugh

Trish

Want to rid the public airways of Rush Limbaugh? Go to the top.

File a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission.

Next, contact his employer, who profits from Limbaugh’s perverted rants:

Mark Mays
CEO Clear Channel Communications
200 East Basse Rd
San Antonio, TX 78209
Phone: (210) 822-2828
publicrelations@clearchannel.com

And finally, keep contacting the advertisers who support the Rush Limbaugh Show. I am not listing them here because, as of press time, many have discontinued their sponsorship (Quicken Loans, Sleep Train Mattress Centers, Heart & Body Extract, Oreck Upright Vacuum Cleaners, Sleep Number Beds, AutoZone, Citrix Online — aka GoToMeeting.com, GoToMyPC.com) and more are bailing by the minute.

But you might want to express to the Mitt Romney campaign how weak and mealy-mouthed their candidate sounded today, when all he could find to disagree about with Limbaugh was not what Rush said but how he said it.

“I’ll just say this, which is, it’s not the language I would have used. I’m focusing on the issues I think are significant in the country today, and that’s why I’m here talking about jobs and Ohio.”

Montana Judge Who Sent Email Implying Pres. Obama’s Mother Had Sex With Dogs Says He Isn’t Racist

Judge Cebull

To those who say that all racism is in the South (and that all those in the South are racist), I give you Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull from the state of Montana.

His honor, appointed to the bench by Pres. George W. Bush, thought this email was appropriate to circulate among six “old buddies:”

The forwarded text reads:

“Normally I don’t send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine.

“A little boy said to his mother; ‘Mommy, how come I’m black and you’re white?’” the e-mail joke reads. “His mother replied, ‘Don’t even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you’re lucky you don’t bark!’”

The judge, upon being ratted out by one of those buds, quickly apologized, saying it’s not that he’s racist, it’s just that he hates Pres. Obama.

Republicans’ New Front in Their War on Women – Women Whose Insurance Covers Contraception Are Prostitutes

Jon Ponder

At the same time that Republican governors and state lawmakers are pushing controversial legislation that would mandate state-enforced ultrasounds tests for women seeking abortions, Rush Limbaugh, the top Republican Party boss and message-meister, opened a new front in the GOP’s war on women by labeling anyone who uses contraceptives that are covered by health insurance as prostitutes.

“If we [men] are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex. We want something for it. We want you post the videos online so we can all watch.”
– Republican boss Rush Limbaugh

As of Thursday night, none of the 2012 Republican presidential candidates and no elected party officials had dared to object to Limbaugh’s new assault on women, despite the fact that further alienating women voters, who make up more than half of the electorate, will likely produce disastrous results for them in this year’s election.

Limbaugh launched his new anti-women campaign on his top-rated radio show this week, by effectively encouraging his followers, who are predominantly elderly, white male Republicans whom he derides as mindless “Dittoheads,” to ramp up their smearing and objectifying of women:
