List of Products and Companies to Boycott or send Complaints about
Limbaugh - UPDATED January 24, 2003
Haven't we had enough of this bellicose burden on the American airwaves?
Are you sick and tired of the Hateful chortling and guffawing - while
smearing everything that most decent people consider the very Freedoms
our ancestors or Founding Fathers Died to Protect and Honor?
There is something we can do about it. We can complain directly to the
companies that sell advertising on his show. We can also boycott the same
products or institutions he promotes with his hateful, abhorrent speech
and behavior. We've made a list for your convenience below.
Please write to each and every one of these companies. Tell them why you
are no longer purchasing their wares, foods, or products. Tell them that
you won't support people like Limbaugh who insult honest working
Americans of all races, creeds and sexual orientation - or his advertisers.
Tell them you'll change the station. Turn the channel off.
Tell them when he's OFF the air you will return to buying their
products.And please DO what you say, don't buy what they are selling,
make them feel the pressure of those who can vote with their dollars.
Tell Rush he's gone too far this time.
And when you are done with his advertisers, write to Clear Channel's board
of directors and tell them what, when, and why you are not buying. HERE
And it CAN be done! Look at the group that kicked Limbaugh OFF
Amazon.com HERE! Let's Shut him up or shut him DOWN!

Rush Limbaugh BUSTED on Chickenhawk Status!
The mysterious "Greg from Orlando" from the EIB network gets RUSH
Bigtime!
"As with a previous call, when I nicknamed Rush 'The Jabba the Hut of
American Politics' (which stuck and caused him to lose 100 pounds over a
year's time), all of the rest of the show was dominated by damage-control
over my call. A number of callers took issue with the correct labeling of
most right-wing war-hawks as 'Chicken Hawks' -- and this allowed Rush to
obscure the issue by claiming that he'd merely not served, rather than
dodged the draft with a bogus 4-F status. At least nine times that I
counted, he referred to me by name with the usual cheap smears, and I
collected each as a badge of honor I'm sending to John Kerry to add to his
uniform." >>More

Joe Conason's Journal
Rush -- nailed on his own show! Plus: Will disclosure requirement cause
Kissinger to resign?

Dec. 5, 2002 | Squawk radio
A plucky Salon reader -- let's just call him "Greg from Orlando" since that's
how his friends over at the EIB network know him -- sent a fascinating
memo Wednesday about the methods he has used to bring a bit of balance
to Rush Limbaugh's radio show. This is his version of their most recent
encounter:
"Scored a direct hit on the Hot Air Hindenburg today, making the kind of
call to Rush Limbaugh halfway through his show that [made] him a
stuttering fool and [had] all of the callers who followed trying to repair the
damage. His show started with the usual relentless demonizing of liberals,
this time John Kerry from Massachusetts, a Vietnam War hero whom Rush
was mocking as 'Lurch,' using the Addams' Family theme song. But when he
tried to twist Kerry's words [from] Sunday on Meet the Press -- about how
'Sometimes in war a leader looks behind him and the troops aren't there,'
as somehow showing [Kerry] as incompetent or a failure -- I'd had enough.
"I jogged to the nearest phone and dialed a dozen times till I got through,
then told his call screener that I'd like to make the case that Kerry isn't
going to be painted as a garden-variety liberal as easily as they think, given
his war-hero status and foreign policy credentials. Guess I sold the
screener, because I was put through onto the air within seconds ...
"I told Rush the same thing on the air and then asked him if he'd seen the
New Yorker piece on Kerry. [A penetrating, thoughtful profile by Joe Klein
that I ought to have mentioned last week.]

"Slowly and deliberately I told the story about how in
response to the Vietnam War, John Kerry had gone down to the recruiting
office to sign up to fight along with his two best friends, John J. Pershing
III and Fred Smith, the founder of Federal Express. When Rush tried to
bring up the smear about him not having his troops behind him, I explained
that Kerry had been referring to how he won his Silver Star rescuing crew
members of his fast-boat who had fallen overboard, and been wounded
even while fending off a Vietcong machine gun nest.
"I then asked Rush how Bush might respond if, in the debates, Kerry asked
him where he had been when he didn't show up for his plum [National
Guard] assignment for a year. Or for that matter, how [Rush] could
disparage a war hero when he himself had dodged the Vietnam Draft by
claiming to have a boil on his butt.
"He tried to lie [his way] out of this but I explained that his 4-F form listing
a 'pilonidal cyst' was printed in books for all to see [i.e., "The Rush
Limbaugh Story" by Paul D. Colford, St. Martin's Press, 1993, in Chapter 2:
Beating the Draft]. At that point, I was cut off the air and as Rush
stuttered and stumbled around like I have never heard him before, his
screener came back online and told me, 'You're out of here, buddy --
we've got you pegged and you'll never call again.'
"As with a previous call, when I nicknamed Rush 'The Jabba the Hut of
American Politics' (which stuck and caused him to lose 100 pounds over a
year's time), all of the rest of the show was dominated by damage-control
over my call. A number of callers took issue with the correct labeling of
most right-wing war-hawks as 'Chicken Hawks' -- and this allowed Rush to
obscure the issue by claiming that he'd merely not served, rather than
dodged the draft with a bogus 4-F status. At least nine times that I
counted, he referred to me by name with the usual cheap smears, and I
collected each as a badge of honor I'm sending to John Kerry to add to his
uniform."
Please feel free to try a similar experiment in the comfort of your home.
Greg also had some advice for anyone who would like to debate El Rushbo:
"I was on the air live around 1:30 p.m. [EST]. In order to get onto Rush's
show as a liberal, you have to fall within usually a 1-2 day window where he
has recently claimed, on the air or to friends and colleagues (falsely), that
he 'always puts liberals at the front of the line' -- when in reality they
screen out almost anyone who they even suspect disagrees with them on
99 out of 100 days ...
"His and ALL of the right-wing shows ... carefully screen [and] filibuster the
calls, so that opposing views are quickly cut off and a balanced view
cannot be reasonably entertained. It is almost as if they know that if the
other side can be fairly aired beside their own far-right viewpoint, they
would lose a significant [percentage] of sycophants."
Like other satellites of the RNC propaganda network, Limbaugh is testing
various assaults on Kerry -- which suggests how threatening they consider
his candidacy. The radio demagogue's written response to Greg -- plus
audio -- can be found on the Limbaugh Web site. Click there and you'll see
that the "chicken hawk" tag obviously stings. That's why it should be
applied whenever Limbaugh slurs a patriot like Kerry, Daschle, McCain,
Harkin -- or any of the very long list of Democrats who served, unlike him.
