Rush Limbaugh is under attack. Your immediate action is needed

++ Rush Limbaugh is under attack. Your immediate action is needed. See details.

To All;

The radical left activist group, Media Matters (funded by George Soros and others) has launched an all-out smear attack against Rush Limbaugh. And the liberal media are shamelessly promoting the assault.

Their goal? To force Rush off the air. Unless our MRC Action Team takes a stand right now, they could actually succeed.

Here is what is happening:

Media Matters is claiming that Rush called any soldier that opposes the war a "phony soldier." In fact, Rush was referencing an anti-war activist who falselyand despicably passed himself off as an Army Ranger and Purple Heart winner.

Rush was calling the phony soldier a "phony soldier"!

MSNBC willfully echoed the liberal attack campaign against Rush -- despite the obvious spin and deception by Media Matters. CBS's online "Public Eye" then joined in. And now, liberals in Congress are trying to get Rush removed from Clear Channel radio.

+ + Urgent Action Items

Action #1 -- Demand Clear Channel Radio "Keep Rush"

XXXX, Our contacts tell us liberal groups are flooding Clear Channel with demands to get Rush removed.

Go here to Email or Call Clear Channel to support Rush: (Note: after you send your letter, click here)

http://www.MRCaction.org/r.asp?u=2246&rid=11790865

Action #2 -- Flood Congress with calls today.

Liberal Senators are moving a resolution forward to publicly denounce Rush. We are urging all members of the MRC Action Team to contact your Congressman and Senators telling them you are offended by this action and urge them to oppose any legislative measure attacking Rush.

Sen. Schumer: 202-224-6542 Sen. Clinton: 202-224-4451

Congressional Switchboard: 202-224-3121

XXXX, I want to be able to report to the media how our MRC Action Team is responding to this attack. Once you take action on either or both of these items, simply click here and our system will automatically log that you have taken action:

http://www.MRCaction.org/r.asp?u=2242&rid=11790865

This is nothing more than an all-out effort to silence Rush and liberals will not stop until he is removed from the airwaves.

Thank you for taking action with me.

RE: Keep Rush Limbaugh

Dear Ms. Dollinger,

Recent news has it that Clear Channel Media is contemplating taking Rush Limbaugh off the air because of a bogus accusation trumped up by the leftwing organization Media Matters. Media do matter Ms. Dollinger, and that is why it would be unconscionable and no doubt economically foolish for Clear Channel to take Mr. Limbaugh’s excellent voice and message off the air.

I can sympathize with Democrat liberals who have found it difficult to get their message out via the airwaves, which is why they’re so intent on manufacturing grievances against the likes of Don Imus, Bill O’Reilly, and now Rush Limbaugh.

But Clear Channel should not bow to their impotence. If your channel really stands for free speech, it is important that you keep the debate going and keep Rush Limbaugh broadcasting for all the world to hear.

Sincerely yours,

X X

Excellent research; excellent rant! You are right, the nonprofit laws need to be reformed. The question is, who in congress has the guts to propose it?

Nowadays I could care less about Limbaugh.

Stopped listening years ago when it sounded like he was broadcasting from the White House basement.

I just called Clear Channel to inform them that I am an Arbitron ratings volunteer, and the ONLY thing I listen to on Clear Channel is Rush Limbaugh. If he goes, I go.

After three transfers, my call was recorded.

Under emphasized in this fabricated smear of Rush is the FACT that the democrats and their Soros boss are insulting the courageous military by using them as a lever to smear with a lie a man who has been a consistent supporter who honors our military. THAT is so despicable I doubt most average citizens even notice the FACT. Once again we see why these traitorous bastards must be removed from any power over US!

LOL. I can’t help but laugh. Rush is going nowhere. People need to calm down.

Exactly, Rush is a big boy now, he can stand on his own two feet.

Rush could probably buy Clear Channel.

If only 5% of Rush’s listening audience called, emailed, faxed their outrage, then Washington got over 1,000,000 pieces of correspondence.

Well, Harry might be protecting Harkin since it turns out Harkin is among the number of “phony soldiers” that lied about havig served.

Can you refresh my memory so I may point it out to Harkin when I call him tomorrow.

Judging from the email format for the staffers, one could take a wild guess that Harry’s email is harry_reid@reid.senate.gov

Nope, e-mail was returned. Try: http://reid.senate.gov. He uses a webform but it accepts mail from non-constituents.

Iran seeking nukes, Korea conspiring with Syria to amass weapons, ongoing war on terror, uncontrolled borders in America, congressional spending out of control ...and our Senate is spending time on what a talk show host said on the radio. They need to go - ALL OF THEM!

EXACTLY.....THIS IS WHAT OUR POLITICIANS WHO ARE FEEDING AT OUR TEAT SPEND THEIR TIME ON.

Removing Rush from Clear Channel would hurt them immensely.
They would lose millions of viewers, which in return means money. If the are that stupid?

Bullfrog

If you haven't see Clear Channel's response to the 41 democrats who signed a letter asking they repudiate Rush, here's a link

Stunning that 41 Senators would take up such a trivial matter instead of doing the peoples business they were hired to do. I pray their constituents show them the door!

Thanks for the heads-up. I e-mailed my letters to Clear Channel.

Big time. Not to take away from the accomplishments of Sean Hannity, Tammy Bruce, Laura Ingraham, and the rest, but it was Rush who really got conservative talk radio out of the fringe, and brought it to the forefront. Before Rush, conservative talk radio was broadcast in the middle of the night and nobody but a few thousand long-haul truck drivers listened to it.
