In reply to the discussion: BOYCOTT RUSHLIMBAUGH SPONSORS [View all]thinkcontext
(1 post)91. browser extension with stoprush.net data
Sorry for being so late to this thread, this is a shameless (though relevant) plug for the browser extension, ThinkContext. It inserts progressive information (including data from stoprush.net) into your web browsing. As far as Rush goes, at the moment it inserts an icon next to Google search results for Rush sponsors. The idea is as you go on about your normal everyday web browsing, the extension lets you know when one of the companies you encounter advertises on Rush.
Other features include letting you know about green businesses and unionized hotels in similar ways, as well as mainstream news articles linked to from progressive blogs.
Hope this sounds interesting, you can check it out at http://www.thinkcontext.org/

I have actually never used any of those companies. I don't believe my wife has either.
