[Vinnie From Indy]

I think that all Liberals and Progressives should actually drastically increase the amount of attention given to Rush Limbaugh, his sponsors and the networks that carry him. Ignoring Limbaugh is like ignoring a severe infection. I think it is folly to assume that Rush will simply fade away. In addition, even if every Liberal in America quit listening to that fat gasbag, we would still be inundated with his message because he does, in fact, drive much of the debate in America. There are hundreds of "mini" Rush Limbaughs to be found across America at local radio stations hosting "local" shows. Limbaugh's vicious propaganda is even frequently picked up by conservative politicians nationwide and in Wash D.C. Rush has reached a point in America where it is impossible to escape from the hate that he spews from shore to shore 15 hrs. a week

For far to long, those of us on the left have not made addressing and countering the right wing hate machine, led by Limbaugh, a priority of critical and fundamental importance. In some respects, the importance of addressing the right wing hate machine is as important as issues like war and healthcare in my opinion.
