NEW YORK (AP) — Rush Limbaugh's opponents are starting a radio campaign against him Thursday, seizing upon the radio star's attack of a Georgetown law student as a "slut" to make a long-term effort aimed at weakening his business.
The liberal Media Matters for America is using a past campaign against Glenn Beck as a template. In Limbaugh, however, they're going after bigger game. He's already fighting back and the group's stance has provoked concerns that an effort to silence someone for objectionable talk is in itself objectionable.
Media Matters is spending at least $100,000 for two advertisements that will run in eight cities.
The ads use Limbaugh's own words about student Sandra Fluke, who testified at a congressional hearing that contraception should be paid for in health plans. Limbaugh, on his radio programs, suggested Fluke wanted to be paid to have sex, which made her a "slut" and a "prostitute." In return for the money, he said Fluke should post videos of herself having sex. Under sharp criticism, Limbaugh later apologized.
In one of the anti-Limbaugh ads, listeners are urged to call the local station that carries Limbaugh to say "we don't talk to women like that" in our city.
Ad time was purchased in Boston; Chicago; Detroit; Seattle; Milwaukee; St. Louis; Macon, Ga.; and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The cities were selected to support active local campaigns against Limbaugh or because of perceptions Limbaugh may be vulnerable in that market, said Angelo Carusone of Media Matters.

Except for rappers whose music is played on their radio in their city 9000 times a day for all the kiddies to hear.
I guess they've never been to the part of the city where the black youth hang out...
Dumb....just dumb. This will go nowhere.
Nope. We call them "c*nt" or "t*at" or "b*tch" here in our city, Detroit (or Chicago or New York).
How is a 501(c)(3) allowed to engage in such politically based activities? .....I know, stupid question.
WOW! A $100K campaign against Limbaugh! I’m sure Rush is TERRIFIED of Brock and all his other fag friends.
But your city is filled with women like that. Oh well, some one else will always be willing to talk to women like that.
Dear Media Matters, Didn’t your mommy ever tell you to never bring a knife to a gun fight?

George Soros. That's how.
“using a past campaign against Glenn Beck as a template”.
Yeah, because that campaign was such a huge success. Wait...Glenn is still on the radio. Never mind.
...yet another ‘student’ from the cesspit known as Madison, Wisconsin...
Brock and his Gayboys in Brokeback Boycott.
It is hilarious how libs are so afraid of Rush. They are all about freedom of this or that yet freedom to listen to Rush is anathema to them. What a bunch of nut jobs! They think we conservatives are off the reservation anyway so what do they care if we listed to him? Is it because they are afraid that one of there own might happen to tune him in one day?
The earthworm of Media Matters would like to engage the elephant of Rush Limbaugh in a fight?
Wellllll... OK!! Cool!
This will go nowhere indeed. One thing about the radio, you can always change the station. I suggest that they exercise that right and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
Media Matters has overstepped once again and the backlash is coming. If they think that Rush and his listeners will just ‘roll over’, then they’ve miscalculated BIG TIME.
