I want to keep this really simple.
We need to take immediate, organized action to rid ourselves of this very real menace. Clear Channel has now had six days to remove its highly paid public racist and purveyor of broadcast sexual violence from the air. It has shown no inclination to do so and thus condones the fascistic takeover of the public square that Limbaugh’s most recent outrage against public decency represents.
Below you will find a list of those who feed and shelter this dangerous sociopath and their contact information. Use this information to demand an end to Limbaugh’s career.
As the father of a daughter, grandfather to a granddaughter, and a man who just generally cares about the fate of women in the world I want to say simply that Rush Limbaugh’s verbal thuggery constitutes a ‘high-tech lynching’ and an airwave-borne sexual assault. I feel a real and deep responsibility to join with others to demonstrate to the next generation of young women activists who have ideas to express and policies to advocate that they will not be publicly violated by pornographic verbal assaults when they enter the public square. Mr. Limbaugh’s toxic broadcast can no longer be tolerated.
Justice requires that Mr. Limbaugh be removed from the air. Moreover, as the beneficiary of the licensed use of airwaves which are the property of the public, Mr. Limbaugh has forfeited the special privileges granted radio personalities to use the public airwaves to broadcast their views.
Limbaugh’s heinous, vulgar, and shocking public abuse of a woman who had the temerity to express opinions disagreeable to Mr. Limbaugh to her congressional representatives goes well beyond ‘political debate’ and is nothing short of broadcast terrorism. Make no mistake here, it is precisely and literally terrorism that Mr. Limbaugh has engaged in.
As we all know, this is not the first instance of broadcast hatespeech by this grotesque brownshirt with a big microphone, bigger mouth, and a bloated head that would be empty but for the coiled snakes of his obvious mental illness. Quite apparently, whatever treatment Mr. Limbaugh received for his drug addiction failed to address his underlying anger and hate issues.
While I generally empathize with the pain that accompanies mental illness, in Mr. Limbaugh’s case his infantile bullying is now a danger to the community;he and Clear Channel have more than sufficient resources to get him the help he so desperately needs. Let me say it plainly, Mr. Limbaugh’s behavior clearly indicates that he is an on-air drug abuser suffering from serious mental illness. As truth is an insurmountable defense against libel, I encourage everyone to publicly proclaim the truth that Rush Limbaugh is a mentally unstable, dangerous, drug addled sexual predator who uses the airwaves to stimulate himself by using threatening obscenity to assert power over women he finds threatening. SUE ME!
In the meantime, as a consumer, I will do everything I can to deprive Clear Channel of any revenues and will actively encourage others to starve the beast that provides Mr. Limbaugh the power to silence others and threaten the safety of those with whom he disagrees.
As a citizen I will take every possible action to pressure the FCC to investigate Clear Channel and the licenses of every local station that carries your programming.
