(9,090 posts)but first "he still won"---
relative to what? he won and should have. what has happened since then? why the left can thank republican radio for most all major and minor liberal/dem defeats and compromises the last 25 years. why can't we have a fact based national discussion on any major issue? why do 1% have so many people on their side, based almost entirely on an alternate reality?
how to beat it legally?
1) more than 35% (recently revised from 28%) of limbaugh radio stations inc many of the loudest in the country depend on the community cred and ad revenue they get from broadcasting state funded university/college sports. students for warren or any major progressive issue are being undermined by their own unis in exchange for what may be peanuts. push a few colleges to honor their mission statements and look for apolitical alts and others will be shamed into following and that rw radio monopoly would fall apart.
2) include those stations in protests/picketing. those are teabag/GOP HQs. any significant protest movement has to be louder than the local and national blowhards and they have to last longer. almost any liberal issue can be relevantly protested there. right now those stations spend a lot of time excusing racism and police brutality. limbaugh has been selling CLUB GITMO tees and mugs for a decade or so and i heard more of it the other day- close to 100 college sports teams help him sell that shit and make torture acceptable.
3) use modern software to record and transcribe and search what the major blowhards are saying, and then respond to it in real time instead of letting our candidates get attacked and our issues distorted without response and having to play catchup, as has been the norm the last 25 years.
4) stop crediting fox for what rw radio does. fox is rw radios asshole little brother and wouldn't last long without radio's groundwork repetition.
