With the Help of the DU Takebackthemedia.com KICKED LIMBAUGH'S ASS a few years ago.. within days I was on both O'Reilly's show AND Scarboroughs SHOWS, while they made nervous sounds about not having any effect. If it was having NO EFFECT, what was I on their DAMN SHOW FOR?
The Advertisers were fleeing like scalded DOGS from Limbaugh, some within the SAME AFTERNOON WE STARTED THE Boycott :)
That Punk Byon York (See below) has mentioned me too many times not to give him SOME MORE, make his dreams come TRUE, and FIGHT for The Fairness Doctrine, this time for KEEPS.
I'm damned near ready to do it AGAIN, got my book written (all I've been doing for a few years now), and so maybe it's time to make Takebackthemedia.com a FORCE again, and give that PIMPLE another KICK?
Anyone interested? Who's with ME?

In fact, the prominent conservatives, addressing a crowd of 30 on the ground floor of a Washington row house, described what sounded like a conspiracy. Panelist Ken Blackwell, formerly Ohio's secretary of state and the Republican candidate for governor last fall, said Imus was "not a conservative" and that "the left has sacrificed one of their own to give them a platform to go after true conservative talk show hosts." Cliff Kincaid, of the conservative media watchdog Accuracy in Media, said the Imus firing had been a revelation. "It wasn't exactly clear to me how intended to bring back the Fairness Doctrine, but I think now with the Imus affair, we know ... short leap from firing Imus to going after Rush Limbaugh."

In an article April 13, Byron York, White House correspondent for the conservative National Review, asked the question, "What's next for the activists who called for Don Imus' head," then answered himself, "Two words: Fairness Doctrine." York's colleague at the National Review, radio host Mark Levin, wrote a post in which he said that "there is now a campaign underway ... to force conservative talk show hosts from radio ... It appears we have a rather sleazy effort afoot to silence the one broadcast venue the Left can't control." Attributing this effort to liberal media watchdog Media Matters, Levin linked to conservative blog Sweetness & Light -- Sweetness & Light, which wrote that Media Matters president and CEO David Brock "jumps on any chance to try to control free speech in this country." It added that "if Media Matters has its way the only people who will be allowed to use the public airwaves will be Messrs. Brock, Soros, Chomsky, Ms. Hillary Clinton and other officially approved Democrats." On NewsBusters, the blog of conservative media watchdog Media Research Center, Dan Riehl wondered, "Does Get-Imus movement foretell Fairness Doctrine reinstatement?"
