Media Matters, NOW unite to force Limbaugh off the air
The Daily Caller ^ | 5/4/12 | Caroline May

Posted on 05/04/2012 9:33:34 PM PDT by bigbob

“Start listening to Rush Limbaugh.” That was the message representatives from Media Matters for America and the National Organization for Women delivered to NOW chapter leaders in a secret, narrowly focused strategy session Wednesday night.

In audio of the NOW/MMFA strategy webinar obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller, the liberal organizations plotted the best ways to get the radio giant and veritable burr in their collective saddles off the air.

Go after the local advertisers

The key, according to Media Matters online outreach director Jay Carmona, is to target Limbaugh at the local level — specifically advertisers in local radio markets — but with an eye on his national sponsors.

“I will say, just going by the numbers, getting local stations to drop Limbaugh is actually a hard, more long-term campaign than just looking at getting local sponsors to drop,” she explained, adding that they do not need to get the conservative talker off every local station to make an impact.

The catch, however, is that women who are active with NOW and the men who support them — whom Limbaugh often needles as the NAGs (National Association of Gals) and the “new castrati” — are actually going to have to listen to his radio show in order to identify and target those local advertisers.

“The first thing you want to do is, I say, start listening to Rush Limbaugh,” Carmona advised.

Non compos mentis. Get rid of Rush by increasing his listenership. Great plan.

The Left is showing its true colors. From the oppression of free speech with bullying tactics to the limiting of free speech through the censorship tactics of political correctness, they are degenerate thugs. The only language they know is the language of propaganda and talking points given by enemies of freedom and those plotting for the destruction of the United States of America.

Here is an example of them disrupting the address by Abby Johnson, former Director of a Texas Planned Parenthood, talking about the horror of abortion:

Maybe they’ll discover he isn’t nearly as outrageous as Hag Central has painted him to be.

I hope Rush and the others have good security.

I heard SEARS is up for more imminent closings. We are at war on all public conservative speech and when even the Church is attacked openly, then danger is at our very door.

I wonder how many NOW/MMFA listeners he'll flip? May be the first time any actually listen to him, and some will be shocked to find out he doesn't say the things MMFA says he does...or that's he's just crackin’ wise.

Rush has around 576 stations and about 20 million listeners of which I am one! I don’t think they can force him off unless they buy all the stations that carry him!!

Rush and the other conservatives on the air will be in grave danger if 0bama wins/steals another term. Hell, we’re already all in grave danger.

My thoughts, exactly. . .

Rush should openly welcome them as listeners and invite them to actually learn something. He`s always 10 steps ahead of the enemy. For whatever the bad guys attempt to dish out, he`s always ready to dish it back with interest.

The NAGs care only about three issues:

1. The "right" to kill the unborn

2. Lesbian "rights"

3. Promotion and election of democrats

Everything else is just noise to them.

But what about diversity and tolerance? I thought different cultures and ideas were good things according to the libs. Oh, they get to pick which ones are good!

Hey, I have an idea!

Why doesn't Soros' organizations & rich Hollywood elitist start up their own liberal talk radio to promote and argue the merits of the Constitution & Capitalism?

They could get some big name lefty talkers and I'm sure they would be as big as Limbaugh one day.

They could come up with a catchy name, like, say, Air America.

Oh!! Wait! ...Nevermind
