Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday shared a story that urges people to boycott companies that advertise on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show.

Hannity retweeted a story from conservative blog Media Equalizer that sides with him in the wake of advertisers pulling ads from his Fox show and calls for pressure on those that advertise on MSNBC.

"To counteract these fascistic tactics, #StoptheScalpings has decided to fight fire with fire," the Media Equalizer story says. "As long as Media Matters continues to attack conservatives, we will return them the same kindness."

"We begin with Rachel Maddow who has been the biggest purveyor of lies and propaganda in the media today. Like Media Matters, we will now inform the public and the advertisers about who they are financing," it continues. "While we prefer not to be involved in this type of effort, we need to be on equal footing. We will continue to announce the advertisers that finance these efforts and support these hosts who allow lies and conspiracy theories to permeate the airwaves." The Media Equalizer article includes contact info for companies that advertise on Maddow's show.

1. Remind me again which murder victim's family Rachel Maddow has been harassing lately.

Oh, can't think of one, Sean?

You smarmy asshole.

[Bleacher Creature]

2. Uh oh, someone is getting nervous!!!

I normally don't take pleasure in watching someone's career go down in flames, but I made an exception for O'Reilly and will do it again for Hannity.

3. Media Equalizer?

Neeeeever heard of it

[rurallib]

8. not as if the radical right doesn't already own 95% of US media already

Equal must mean 99.9%

[Wounded Bear]

4. IIRC, RW calls for boycotts have not done well recently...

Good luck with that Sean.

5. Yeah they've had like 20 something boycotts since T got elected.

And not a single one of them has stuck. So I'm guessing this will backfire on them big time.

[mythology]

6. Interesting twitter handle there

I wonder if they just didn't notice that the name starts with SS. I get that StoptheScalpings is a long name and so they shortened it, but I would think they would want to avoid SS for obvious reasons.

14. Scalpings Is Dodgy, Too

SScalpings does not conjure up any kind of good imagery.

7. Can I guess how this is going to go?

Or maybe:

9. Let's act in kind

Use their hit list to express our support for advertisers on Maddow.

[gratuitous]

10. Awwww, the delicate little flowers need their safe space, do they?

Sad.

[Initech]

12. Poor little snowflakes!!

11. I doubt many Deplorables shop at Target. I suspect they know who their customers are.

[C_U_L8R]

13. As phony as Trump's suntan and Hannity's wig

Besides Deplorables have no economic clout.
Dumbshits don't earn or spend. Any self-respecting
brand would laugh.

15. And do we know who funds

Media Equalizer?
