Yes, they talk in some of the blog postings about ultimately going after Hannity & Limbaugh, but they speculate that they can't do it right now and be successful. So they seem to be moving to take out a few prominent 2nd and 3rd tier conservative talkers, brand the story of "threatening hate speech being sponsored by corporations" in news media stories and in doing so freeze the flow of money to conservative talk radio shows.

Give them credit for one thing. While what they are doing is VILE, and their stated goal of undermining the war on terrorism is ANTI-AMERICAN, they have nonetheless wisened up to Free Market policies about advertising and corporations. They recognize that they can kill a number of conservative talk radio hosts by making it politically unacceptable for advertisers to be on such shows. And they will use the liberal Mainstream Media to start repeating the story over and over again so that no advertising rep. would ever have the "cajones" to advertise on a conservative station.

I think if loyal listeners put on a huge show of support for Melanie it can counter this smear effectively. It might even improve the ratings for the show and encourage advertisers to support her even more (there will be more money in it for advertisers with all the new, juicy "controversy" boosting Melanie's ratings).

By the way, thanks for pointing out the ad. As vicious as it was, I did enjoy hearing Melanie converse with Ann. Two babes are better than one, three babes are better than two, four babes are...(and the rule continues to build on itself!).

Thank you for bringing this to us and let us know who and where we can write to support Melanie. It's interesting I was thinking earlier today, before your post, that it may be time for most of the conservative talk hosts to start thinking about going to Sirius or their competetor...

Unfortunately, would make it so much harder to reach the people they need to reach since the diehard fans like most of us here would follow them, and people just skimming the dials would never be informed, which is exactly what they are after.
