It shouldn't stop with just Rush Limbaugh.

The OneMillionMoms organization is crazy in every way except one. They are smart to use consumer activism in a consumer based economy. With a bad message, it is weak and pitiful (see JCP/Ellen). Put in the hands of a properly representative populist movement, such tactics prove very effective.

Reward companys that align with your philosophy including how they treat their employees. Punish companys that violate your belief system.

If you worked for a company that sponsored Rush Limbaugh, what would you suppose their view on appropriate worker compensation might be?
