E-Mails Expose MSNBC Host’s Involvement in #StopRush Boycott

MSNBC host Krystal Ball was in close communication with leaders of an online boycott aimed at advertisers on Rush Limbaugh’s popular radio show, e-mails between the boycott leaders indicate.

...snip...

Ball, a Democrat who ran for Congress in Virginia two years ago, is a paid MSNBC contributor who was recently announced as one of four co-hosts of a new daily program, The Cycle, on the left-leaning cable news network. It is unclear whether MSNBC executives were aware of the extent of Ball’s involvement in #StopRush, which used the social network in a campaign to drive Limbaugh off the airwaves by threatening boycotts against advertisers on his conservative talk show, the nation’s most popular syndicated radio program.

Professor William Jacobson’s Legal Insurrection blog has described how the #StopRush effort was evidently coordinated with the tax-exempt non-profit Media Matters for America, apparently using so-called “sockpuppet” accounts in a fake-grassroots ”astroturf” campaign.

“Ball received national attention when photos taken six years earlier emerged showing her at a holiday party dressed as a “naughty Santa” sucking a red dildo attached to her then-husband’s nose”

"then husband" - I wonder why things between her and the red-dildoed reindeer didn't work out.

“I wonder why things between her and the red-dildoed reindeer didn’t work out.”

She probably turned her attention to the rest of the sleigh team.

not that it really matters but KB is on the right.

If Shoq’s claims are accurate, the latest reports may suggest multiple connections between the Limbaugh boycott, MSNBC, the Obama campaign, Democrat operatives like Rauhauser, and tax-exempt groups like Media Matters and Kimberlin’s Velvet Revolution.

It'll be interesting to hear how, or if, Rush mentions this today. These sorts of attacks on him are pretty much standard operating procedure, so he may just ignore it. However, it wouldn't surprise me if he went after the MSNBC "reporter," given his frequent and open derision of their journalistic malpractice.

For as much time as MSM news spends ridiculing and dismissing Limbaugh, they sure do fear him.

Sure why not.

I recall back in the 80’s a female tennis player named Misty Hymen. And who can forget NASCAR driver Dick Trickle.

So Krystal Ball is relatively tame.

Krystal Ball is on the same show as Stuart (Stu) Pidasso and Haywood Jablomey.
