But there is an anti-Limbaugh campaign targeting some big advertisers

Anti-Limbaugh or anti-opposing views?

Anti-Limbaugh.

One of the disturbing things about the left is that
they tend to try to disrupt debate if they do not like it.

You must have a different left in Michigan, Wes. Maybe it's what we call the
right. d8-) Out here, the ones trying to intimidate advertisers and media
owners are the "family values" and Christian Right nutbags.


Now the downside of having a previous advertiser drop any politically
oriented show is
that for the customers they may mollify the ones they alienate will
counteract each other.
Sometimes they lose more than they gain.

I'd have to see an example to know what you're talking about.



It seems to be a favorite tactic. Watching C-Span's Washington Journal
for the last 10 or
more years, I've got a real taste of how they work. The leftists call in
on the
Democratic, Independent and the Republican line. The goal is to jam the
lines so only
their point of view gets through.

'Never watched it, so I don't know.


If I called in on the Dem line and you listened, a real left leaning Dem
would say, he
isn't a Democrat, he is a Republican shill. The same thing applies when
some one calls in
on the Rep line and claims to be a Republican that really is not. Each
side knows its
own, it only takes a few words, the way a subject is addressed or an
impeach Bush for the
tip off.

It must be hell. g
