Operation Chaos II: Get Rush

A while back, Rush Limbaugh attempted to divide the party lines between Democrats for Hillary Clinton and those for Barack Obama. Limbaugh prayed for riots in the streets. As much as I wished that the recent CPAC conference would turn into a riot between racist Rush supporters and decent Republicans who were not racist but believed in conservative principles and values, there weren't enough of the latter to start a confrontation.

After the Barack the Magic Negro controversy, I wrote an article on why the GOP Must Denounce Limbaugh and why we should boycott his parent companies.

The Republican party must choose if its principles are fiscal responsibility and family values, or racism, sexism and a desire to see our country fail.

Here Are Some Ways We Can Take Out Rush the Evil Bigot

1. Get Him Off Armed Forces Radio

Not only does Limbaugh have the support of hundreds of GOP politicians, but he is also one of the voices of Armed Services radio. That means all soldiers, whether they be female, Black or Latino, three groups who Limbaugh continually offends, have no other options on the radio than Limbaugh. Everybody should write in to their elected officials and demand that Limbaugh be taken off Armed Forces Radio. There is no reason tax payer money should go to Limbaugh while minorities and women soldiers are forced to listen to that bigot.

2. Force the GOP to address him.

The media has been doing a good job asking Republican officials to address Rush Limbaugh and let the country know what side they're on. We as citizen journalists can do the same thing. Elected officials are public servants and must listen to the concerns of the public. The officials must be asked the question Pete Seeger posed, "Which side are you on?" Here is an example of how we can act locally to take down Rush.

Make Republicans Address Rush

3. Boycott Clear Chanel

Clear Channel is Rush Limbaugh's parent company. Not only do they distribute Rush Limbaugh but they also own many Urban Radio stations which play corporate sponsored negative Hip Hop. If the black community were to boycott these stations (I assume they are already boycotting Rush), it would force Clear Channel to address Limbaugh and we would hit them in the pocket and force them to tell us "Which Side Are You On?"

Here is a List of Rush's Sponsors

1. With every thing that is going on these days
i am truly sad that both sides of the so called political spectrum, is wasting so much time and effort on this ridiculous topic.
Every blog & every main stream news syndication finds this to be significant to peoples lives at a time when America is at the brink of collapse, it makes me sick
Rush is a complete moron and the GOP is in the crapper, ok everyone gets it
To all news outlets i say to you, start doing some real journalism, this is not journalism.
I realize advertising is way down, but rating grabbing tabloid garbage is not what everyone needs right now.
