Flood AFRTS with your messages to remove Limbaugh from tax-payer funded radio
Edited on Fri Sep-28-07 12:22 PM by ProSense
Read this Daily Kos diary, and then send American Forces Radio and Television Service a message.


Another terrific diary here.

The Bush connection (read the diary):

...Will anyone in the White House press corps ask whether Bush -- who's appeared on Rush's show, as has Veep Cheney -- will repudiate Rush for remarking that soldiers who don't agree with the President's war policies are "phony soldiers"?

8. I don't have any hope it'd work
No harm trying again, but AFN has been strangely resistant to dumping pigboy for 15 years. Their explanation for keeping Rush in the face of soldier complaints used to be that he was "balance" for NPR. They used to say that, over and over -- a sedate general interest news program needed a few hours of rightwing ideological cant as counterpoint. When that wore threadbare after a number of years, they switched to calling Rush "controversial" and they had other controversial hosts in the lineup to keep things fair. When pressed to name the personality that countered Rush, they said... Tom Joyner. Yep, a crew of morning drive cutups was the anti-Rush. Seriously. AFN just flat out doesn't want to let him go.

10. I snickered at the headline - AFRTS
For some reason I read that as "FARTS".

Alright, I'm sending my message now with a smile on my face.

11. Done.
Time to get this anti-American hatemonger off the air.

A draft-dodger calling soldiers in combat phony soldiers is an outrage!

15. Do we have to swamp the Democratic leaders to get them off ...
their collective asses? This should be automatic. Come on Madam Speaker and Senator Reid, nows your chance to actually throw the GOP for a loss. Do something besides lose for a change.
