One of the things I most admire about the DKOS crowd is its ability to band together to support a candidate or destroy a right winger (Beck anyone).
So, how about we do the destruction thing once again. I have a prime candidate in mind if you'd care to join me below the squiggle.
A great diary came out yesterday from Laura Clawson about the New Berlin school board meeting wherein the teachers were screwed over royally in front of jeering right wingers by said board. The bullies evidently waved candy pacifiers at the teachers. This bothered the hell out of me, partly because my daughter is a teacher but mostly because I revere most teachers. The idiots doing this remind me of the Romans cheering on the lions. Hell, the only thing missing was Nero playing the fiddle.
As I read this diary and fumed I saw a tag for Blue Cheddar (great name) and checked out the site. Reading the story about this travesty in New Berlin I came upon a comment about Vicki McKenna (the queen of mean?). The article went on to detail her part in this as well as three other right wing talk radio hosts. Her stations are WIBA and WISN in Madison. Surely these stations rely on advertising dollars to stay afloat, yes? I don't know the names of the other talk show hosts who inflamed this situation but I'm sure their stations need ad dollars as well.
Sooooooo, why not find out who supports these stations and begin a boycott? I'm sure Giles or Laura can find out which local businesses support these clowns and pass it on. Wisconsin appears to have a healthy network of progressive blogs to pass on this information so why not use them? And I'm sure my fellow Dkos members would be thrilled to help.
Sorry this diary is so short but I'm not the greatest writer in the world...my best stuff comes at 5 in the morning as I'm lying in bed.
