I shouldn't, but I'm going to anyway, something I found from your link:

This is the Moonies we are talking about here! These people are insane!

What you are doing is genius and needs to take hold!

I will NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER buy a product from any of these companies that support this racist, sexist, fascist asshole.

So, RL is a racist and a sexist and that's wrong, but stating that people who practice a particular religion (Moonies) are insane, that's alright? As far as RL being a fascist:

fas·cism
a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

Apparently, he's either never listened to RL or he doesn't know what fascism is (my guess is both). Of course it's not entirely unlikely that this person is just a Freeper posting outrageously stupid comments for the fun of laughing at all those who agree with him/her.

Washington Times Hatchet Job on me and Limbaugh Boycott

Hatchet Job? Let's see.

Rush haters

Well, he fully admits he is.

Michael Stinson, a California-based Internet designer, wants the nation's most popular radio personality off the air. He calls his group "Take Back the Media," and has organized a boycott against 24 companies who advertise on Rush Limbaugh's daily show, heard by about 20 million people on more than 600 radio stations.

All true, stipulated by Stinson, except the Rush carriage/ratings stats which are common knowledge.

Mr. Stinson denounces Mr. Limbaugh ? the bane of liberals everywhere ? as a "hate-radio entertainer." In fact, Mr. Stinson condemns talk radio itself as "a hotbed of vicious right-wing hate speech."

Are these misquotes, Mr. Stinson?

"Anyone who goes against the pro-war agenda Rush calls 'anti-American,' " Mr. Stinson charged. "Well, some of these protesters honored their country by serving in the military."

Are these misquotes, Mr. Stinson?

Mr. Stinson added: "We are getting about 14,000 views a day at our Web site," www.takebackthemedia.com. "We've made some progress, but we're being stonewalled, too."

What in this paragraph is hateful, Mr. Stinson? And again, is this a misquote? Where's the hatchet, anywhere in this story?

Radio is the focus of only one of the five senses. A listener has to really tune in to the subject matter and focus on the content of the ideas.

Television is a combination of sensory focus and it is far easier to distract and misdirect viewer attention from essential topics presented.

Considering that 90% of people tend to be more influenced by the visual, television has become a new religion. It is analagous to Plato's cave allegory. Television as a propaganda tool helps create visual phantasms (or as Thomas Hobbes called them, 'phantastical images') of the brain.

There are three ways people are influenced according to the school of behavioral psychology - - visual (sight), auditory (sound), kinesthetic (emotion). The kinesthetic or 'feeling' is also based on olfactory and tactile sense, much like Pavlov's salivating dogs. Visual images and sound portrayed can be used to anchor emotional and/or conditioned responses desired by those that present them, which in the case of television, is the Leftist television media, actors who create phantastical images in film, and Leftist politicians who pander to symbolism over substance (like Rush always says about them).

The visual aspect of that phenomenon is also used by the print media to a degree. Interactve talk radio requires thought, television does not and relies on this as a means to influence viewers...

Part of this whole thing is the promotion of "public radio." The government funded NPR and other "public radio" non-profit Leftist crap is not making it.

While I am not enamoured with some of the canned music formats of much commercial radio, I am no fan of the Leftist non-profit NPR like stations that play third world, grass skirt, bone-in-the-nose voodoo music either, with the touchy feely multi-cultural, anti-USA Leftist commentary of the hosts.

Also part of this is the loss of broadcasting licenses by "public radio" stations to a company that is buying licenses to broadcast Christian programming. This is pushing many Leftist public radio stations off the air.

There is more to this issue than most people realize and it is not exclusive to the attack on talk radio (although that is a big part of it).
