Democrats need to remind ADVERTISERS on FOX News that THEY TOO will be held to account for violence
It seems a golden opportunity for Democrats and sane journalists to remind the advertisers of FOX News, Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the legion of right-wing hate on AM radio that America is watching and will hold them morally responsible should these programs they sponsor cause violence to elected representatives.

I would offer that the efforts, at least for Limbaugh, should be LOCAl as well as national. Targeting and putting on notice the local Ford dealer or air conditioning company or restuarant that buys the LOCAL ad spots would make the Limbaugh show a money loser for the local affiliate if they began to drop his show.

In any case, it would not be a bad idea for Dems to mention in their discussion of the violence that the businesses that support these shows and networks will bear some of the blame for violence should it break out.

1. Amen. The Color of Change is doing a good job of holding Beckster's advertisers responsible.
It can be done.

NGU.

4. Of course you listen to Rush
That's because you're a neo-con troll.
