How do we take down the likes of Lil Tucker, Hannity, Ingraham, et al? [View all]

The entire right wing propaganda machine needs to be hit, and hit hard.

I'm talking about legal means here. Their careers should be destroyed in the most humane way possible.
In this case, I'd call the desire for civility a gray area in the interest of defending our democracy.

So, how can it be done? Boycotts of advertisers? Tear 'em up in the Twitterverse?

They've caused too much damage, and continue to do so. They have to go.

In a related subject, I'm thinking of trolling rw radio. Has anyone else here done this?
Please tell me how it went.
