Of course not. But here is a solicitation for money to fund opposition to Limbaugh's diatribes.
To send money is to ensure that Limbaugh will continue to be a presence in the media.
The most effective response to people like Limbaugh is to ignore him. He thrives on the controversy he generates, and he gets under the skin of decent people enough that he provokes the heated reactions he needs to stay relevant, that is to say, profitable to the stations and sponsors who keep him on the air and the online and print media that thrive on their opportunities to castigate or praise him.
It goes without saying that he will get over the top far right wingnut support. For a profile of such people check out the movie Deliverance.
The media love him because he provides them with the controversy they need to sell their papers and Web Sites.
The best way to marginalize him, render him irrelevant and mute, is to haul off and leave him alone,
Or,
Since he's the current day manifestation of The Wizard of Oz, and he fears that those whom he tries to frighten will look behind the curtain, expose him as the fraud he really is.
Neither is likely to happen so long as the media continue to see him as a source of revenue.
Expect this to become even more egregious now that the media is experiencing losses due to reduced advertising revenue. The checkout counter tabloid racks will likely expand.
"Extra, Extra, Read All About It!" And, "Rush exposes Michele's deep dark past. "
