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

I’ve an idea we would do well to e-mail the link to Rush’s rebuttal to everyone on our e-mail lists. With the ABC program which addressed phony soldiers like MacBeth and Rush’s morning update which clearly showed MacBeth’s lies and deceit which the democrats have chosen to believe (fake but accurate anyone?), this smear campaign has no chance of succeeding. BUT the media will give their butties of the DNC cover so we need to expose the lies via person-to-person contacts! Should be good for a few million more informed than even listen to Rush’s show.

Rush is thumping these chumps with half his brain tied behind his back.

I say untie the other half!

This whole thing is exposing the slandering cowards for what they are.

If Rush needs us. We’ll be there.

It’s the Las Vegas unions and land-development interests who keep Dingy Harry in D.C. In the northern part of the state he’s as popular as the clap.

Alas, a whiff of RINO is starting to emanate from Sen. John Ensign, who reportedly has a “gentleman’s agreement” with Harry ensuring that they won’t tread on each other’s toes. As with most such arrangements when one of the parties is a leftist, the courtesy is strictly one-way and the contagion is insidious.

Some of the “reporters” who’ve promulgated MMFA’s smears have public comment sections, and those can be used to help discredit them. If they associated MMFA with “untrustworthy”, that will reduce the chances they’ll repeat MMFA smears again.

For example, see my comment here:

prospect.org/csnc/blogs/tapped_archive?month=09&year=2007&base_name=thats_one_way_to_do_it&4

I’ve got other things to do so it would be nice if I could get some help in this effort. Unfortunately, despite posting a few posts encouraging those here to leave comments on blogs I seem to be alone in this overall effort.

Y’know..... it’s not so much a defense of Rush (and I agree this will be no problem at all for him) as it is a demand for decency to return to Washington .... not to mention that these idiots are blowing OUR hard-earned dollars out the window spewing the daily bilge. (Isn’t that what the tabloids are for?)

If you had told me 20 years ago that our elected “leaders” in Washington would be spending all their time on such charades, I would have said you were nuts!

Yet, here we are......

It’s time to end this garbage!

VOTE!

Everyone on my e-mail list has been informed. IMO this is the dumbest move the Dems have made. Moveon buying an ad in the NYTs is one thing. This is a move by the Senate leader for a resolution with a lot of support. They can’t lay this stupidity off on their kook base. I am also guessing, if it could be measured, that Rush’s audience tomorrow will be record breaking.
