This is a Primary Boycott
While I disagree vehemently with the view presented herein, this video is a perfect example of free speech as applied in a boycott. Do this to Rush Limbaugh’s sponsors, however, and you may be accused of un-American behavior.
#StopRush, ALEC, and the Howard Stern Category
It’s time for Limbaugh’s defenders to stop before they hurt themselves. Actions like #StopRush have been going on for a long time without any help from George Soros or Media Matters. There is nothing new or innovative about advertiser contact … Continue reading
Angie’s List a Perfect Fit for Limbaugh
This was forwarded to me by a #stoprush volunteer who wrote Angie’s List to cancel their membership over the company’s continued sponsorship of Rush Limbaugh’s sick misogyny circus. It is their unresponsive non-response: Thanks for writing Angie’s List. As you … Continue reading
Colonel Mustard Pets a Troll
Like the President, William A. Jacobson, Esq. (pictured) has been the Senior Editor of a Harvard legal publication, the International Law Journal. From 1984 to 2007 he maintained a successful private practice dealing with “investment, employment, and business disputes in … Continue reading
Atheists.org is Not Okay for the Military But Rush Limbaugh Is?
Click to embiggen. This comes from a deployed service member in Afghanistan, who says Scientology.com is not blocked, either. Bear this in mind whenever Limbaugh’s apologists whine about “censorship.”
Rush Limbaugh Must Be Removed From Armed Forces Radio For Their Sake
My disability began with a rape — or rather, a rapist. PFC Michael Sullins was a Marine at the Defense Language Institute charged with the sexual assault of a fellow Marine in the barracks. After confiscating his knife collection, pulling … Continue reading
Rush Limbaugh Loses Another Station
Rush Limbaugh is a toxic asset, and one more radio station has figured that out. NYT spin cycle via ThinkProgress: The move does not appear to be directly related to the recent ad boycott against Mr. Limbaugh, which was started … Continue reading
Rush Limbaugh Uses Actual, Real, Not-Imaginary Astroturfers
The story Rush Limbaugh’s comeback management wants you to believe is that #stoprush is astroturf, whereas he is really extraordinarily popular and an entertainer. Actually, there’s nothing entertaining about Rush Limbaugh anymore, except unintentionally, and he’s not actually popular. Take … Continue reading
StopRush: Demand William Jacobson Include the Volunteers
The mustard-obsessed Associate Clinical Professor at Cornell Law School still has me unsettled this morning. It isn’t that I crave credit for myself in the mythopoeia of his paranoid style, it’s that an enormous number of people have taken part … Continue reading
I Demand to be Included in Legal Insurrection’s Sinister StopRush Conspiracy Theory
I had forgotten about Legal Insurrection and its author, William Jacobson, an Ivy League law professor who’s nuttier than a pecan-pistachio-peanut butter sandwich. He last appeared as a subject in this blog nearly three years ago, when he spent the … Continue reading
Rush Limbaugh Wouldn’t Recognize Real Activism if it Smacked Him in the Head with an “Occupy” Sign
When porcine hate-radio host Rush Limbaugh finished calling Sandra Fluke a “slut” for nine hours, he discovered that two hundred thousand Americans were already using social media to separate him from his sponsors. It caused something of a panic at … Continue reading
