I think it is time to start attacking the messenger
I'm talking about Hate Radio and the Propaganda machine that the Republicans have built so carefully over the years. The constant brainwashing that is taking place is the major cause to America's real Problems. Unless we tempor the Propaganda with some public unrest such as camping out in front of Limbaugh's house or Hannity's place or Novak's place. Make them react to us instead of us reacting to them. Put some pressure on them and maybe they will do something radical. It is useless to camp out in front of the Whitehouse or in Crawford TX but in front of a Major news Corp just to get the truth mentioned. If someone camped out in front of Limbaugh's place and had a copy of the documented LIES told by Limbaugh they could give to reporters if they were ever to be interviewed. Accountability needs to be had in the Media before any change will ever happen. The only way they will ever allow accountability is if forced to do so and the only way (apparently) is by using Public Pressure. Peer Pressure if you prefer. Embarrass them through Public Protest, unrelenting Public Protest. Not just a weekend thing but constant gauntlet they must cross until they break..

1. We can start with an orchestrated campaign to turn
"conservative" into a dirty word. We can also, very loudly and repeatedly, remind the ordinary person of faith how they were DUPED by the radical right into backing these vermin who sit in the WH and Congress right now.

3. more direct: "punk" their shows...call in as a dittohead, and then
say the truth. Sure, they'll take you off the air, but if, say , 70,000 people did this consistently and relentlessly for a period of 3 months, they'd have to do something, which might mean treating their REGULAR callers badly, or removing the call in segment altogether. Whatever happened, it would be an inertial drag on their message.

not that I'm advocating this at all, I'm just saying, it would have more direct effect than pickets outside the door.

4. Fuck that. Advocate it.
There's no reason why we can't do this. Hell, it would be like Howard Stern's prank callers, only for good reason.

5. The only way to shut them up
is to do to them what the cons did to Alan Berg. Anything short of that is doomed to fail.
