Brilliantly conducted web activism sacks Rush Limbaugh

Posted on | October 17, 2009 | No Comments

The much discussed attempt by ultra-conservative radio kingpin Rush Limbaugh to buy the NFL-team St. Louis Rams crashed and burned a couple of days ago after massive criticism by the public – headed by a brilliant web activism strike initiated by Robert Greenwald and his crew at Brave New Films. Not only did they manage to collect more than 25,000 signatures against Limbaugh in less than 8 hours via their website and campaign Rush Is A Racist, they also crafted below embedded video overnight to launch the campaign. Amazing work and amazing to see the immense impact of activism once really channeled right.

The impact of the campaign and the sacking of Limbaugh by the St. Louis manager is given a great round-up in the Ed Show:

Check out all Brave New Films projects on their own website. I just threw them a few bucks to help their brilliant efforts in creating a more just America – you should too.
