| Rush Limpball's OUTRAGEOUS ebay auction (and what we can do about it) |
 |
That puke Rush Limpballs is running an auction on ebay for the letter he received from Harry Reid and other senators about his outrageous criticism of "phony soldiers." That act in itself is atrocious enough; now they've written an inflammatory, highly offensive auction to sell the letter in which he refers to Reid as "Dingy Harry" and contains other vitriol such as this: Up for auction is the original letter signed by 41 Democrat senators. This historic document may well represent the first time in the history of America that this large a group of U.S. senators attempted to demonize a private citizen by lying about his views. As such, it is a priceless memento of the folly of Harry Reid and his 40 senatorial co-signers.The auction's been running for 3 days now. Why ebay's allowing it is beyond my comprehension. But there is something we can do about it. Every auction has a "report" button on the bottom of the page. Let's report the hell out of it! Here's a link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Harry-Reid-Rush-Limbaugh-S... Press the "report" button at the bottom. Choose "Listing Policy Violations" Choose "Other Listing Violations" Choose "Hateful, Discriminatory or Racial Language in an item description" VERY IMPORTANT: do not stop here! Press "email us" (You will need to log in to your ebay account if you have one) Press "send" THANK YOU!
