this supreme court, bush, iraq, wall st deregulation, and much of the shit of the last 20 years are trophies along with rather on a giant wall in limbaugh's basement.
that coverup was sold largely on radio and anyone in the media who sided with rather was getting killed by the screaming RW radio dittoheads (recently renamed teabaggers), aside from the daily beating that CBS was taking. the same mechanism was used to sell the elections thefts, intimidate recount efforts, sell vote fraud fraud (ACORN etc), and swiftbopat gore and kerry- and now obama.
ignoring RW radio the last 20 years has been a monumental blunder by the left, and despite recent activity around limbaugh the rest of the RW radio machine is largely untouched as it continues to yell loud and coordinated enough to negate much of what progressive activists do.
it's a ridiculous state of affairs there is no large scale organized effort by the left to take on those 1000 plus coordinated think tank fed megaphones dominating politics in many parts of the US. mostly because much of the left would rather listen to music and have no clue why they've been getting their butts kicked on so many issues.
the few stop limbaugh activists out there need to be supported and that effort needs to be expanded to all RW radio.
especially those universities that continue to endorse RW radio by broadcasting sports on those stations
