My Stop Rush posts to date..
4/30/2012 - Twitter 'Hit List' - Melissa K. Brewer's hateful hit list of people she hates, because she's that way. More on Melissa K. Brewer, here, here, and here, by RS McCain, a pro at this sort of thing.
Also, a good piece on Melissa K. Brewer by Donald Douglas at American Power.
5/11/2012 - # STOP RUSH ! Nothing substantive here, just a few visual motivators.
6/17/2012 - The Official Stop Rush Slideshow - various and sundry visual things that live in my Stop Rush Photobucket folder.
5/25/2012 - A SHINING STAR! to Democrats: Convicted Speedway Bomber Brett Kimberlin - my first mention, I think, of Matt Edelstein AKA "Shoq", one of the early consiglieres running Stop Rush day-to-day, along with Melissa Brewer and others. Kimberlin and Edelstein are equally vehement in their rages. One blew up a speedway; the other, a good bit of his Twitter relationships with fellow crazed leftists. "Abusive and vile" will be Shoq's legacy. More on Shoq's rage here.
6/25/2012 - Deconstructing the SHOQ Takedown - Harold M. Edelstein Flies Again- Heh. "Somewhere, Andrew Breitbart is laughing, laughing, laughing at this angry little pussy."
7/12/2012 In Which I Respond to @Karioli's fainting-couch squeals of RAGE! Another minor Stop Rush player, a cog in the machine. I believe she was right under Shoq. The couch, hardest hit.
12/19/12 - StopRush: an Update UPDATED! 2/11/13 After Shoqelstein quit (or was forced out), another left-radical stepped in: "Denver Union Guy", Richard Myers, a Union Thug and anarchist who hated capitalism. Unfortunately DUG died, long before he could do any real damage to Rush. DUG's passing saddened many, myself included, because he was the last intelligent operative running the show. He was quickly replaced by one far-less worthy, 'Proglegs', a Daily KOS doofus who barely warranted attention. Nothing to see there anymore; I, for the most part, lost interest.
2/19/2013 Angelo Carusone, MMFA's Radical VP, Getting Sued by The Donald! - not sure what became of that. But it had to cost MMFA a pile of money.
4/28/13 StopRush: Unrepentant Liberal Fascists Dying in their Bathrooms More on DUG and 'proglegs'. What a way to go, then be replaced by a moron..Wait...Obama hasn't replaced Eric "Heinrich" Holder yet. But whomever his replacement turns out to be, like 'proglegs' replacing DUG, it won't be the same level. And that's a good thing!
Truth being, these Liberal Fascists are anything but random citizens: they are a well-organized group of paid MMFA staffers who hate that Rush Limbaugh is so effective at speaking against their far-Left causes. And spanking their tales. And, yes, shining a light on things the Democrats (and some elitist Republicans) would rather be left in the dark.
The butt-hurt, it hurts them, yes it does!
The timing is critical to understand: Carusone was already an employee of Media Matters for America. He had run the @StopBeck campaign, that forced FOX news to sideline Glenn Beck.
MMFA is a Leftist money-recycling operation that uses a 501(c)(3) tax exemption to take tax-free monies donated by wealthy Democrats (and piles of cash from George Soros), then funnels that "dark money" out to all sorts of subversive radical groups like Carusone's Stop Rush. This is how otherwise pretend-to-be-above-board Democrats get away with paying for political hacks to do their dirty deeds, in this iteration, funding spam - harassment attacks on businesses that advertise on Rush's show.
Not much of a scratch. Rush Limbaugh is obviously still around, annoying the hell out of these far-Leftists (and injuring some of the GOP elitists who deserve infamy as well...later, I promise!).
After two years of failing to Stop Rush, this little core group of paid ankle-biting MMFA grubs had to be getting tired, worn-out and frazzled. Every day they had to get up, feed the cats, run their Twitter and Facebook sock puppets, re-tweet every co-conspirator's tweets, mindful that they must keep their multiple accounts running smoothly without overlap so's Twitter wouldn't notice any overt sock puppetry (HA! as if Twitter cares! Twitter aided and abetted #StopRush right from the start. After all, Twitter Management is sympathetic to what MMFA represents: Left-Wing polity, of the Republic-destroying kind).
Then, just this week, the DCCC took Rush's words regarding the flap over the NFL's women-beating, mangled them in a puppy blender, and came out with a supposed 'quote' that even some upright Democrats (there's very few of those!) found despicable. But the DCCC ran with it anyway, sending out letters for fundraising based on the so-called 'quote' that was a lie. Stop Rush was ecstatic; they ramped up their operation to coincide with DCCC's fundraising.
That's when Rush dropped the hammer...
The Hidden Story Behind Stop Rush
The Rush Limbaugh Show Exposes the Stop Rush Conspiracy
September 23, 2014- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s newest email spam, asking their recipients to sign a petition calling for sponsors to end their relationship with The Rush Limbaugh Show, is based on the two-year-old Stop Rush political protest as it’s inspiration. After an investigation, The Rush Limbaugh Show has discovered a far darker story to Stop Rush, and is today releasing the hidden story of the people and motives behind the Stop Rush conspiracy.
The Stop Rush group claims to be made up of ordinary consumers unhappy with Rush Limbaugh’s comments. The group claims to be “grassroots,” just concerned consumers who won’t shop at businesses that advertise with Rush Limbaugh. In truth, however, there are no potential customers here, just a small number of hardcore political activists founded by Angelo Carusone, EVP of Media Matters for America.
It’s remarkably tiny. Only 10 Twitter users account for almost 70% of all StopRush tweets to advertisers, amplified by illicit software. In addition, almost every communication from a StopRush activist originates from outside the State of the advertiser. Thus, these activists are not and never would have been customers… their only role is to harass small businesses in an attempt to interfere with their operations, as long as they are advertising with Rush.
“A small number of politically motivated out of-state activists are distributing target lists indiscriminately, and annoying small businesses until they give up the advertising deals that help them grow, or risk being unable to conduct business at all. It’s not even activism… it’s blackmail,” according to Brian Glicklich, Rush Limbaugh Show spokesperson.
How does this small group make themselves look so much bigger than they actually are? Stop Rush has deployed custom automated tweeting software, in violation of Twitter’s rules, that lets their activists send tweets at a rate far faster than any unassisted person could do manually. They send barrages of thousands of messages through this software until advertisers are bullied and harassed into cancellation.
These activists have long operated in secret and anonymously. But now, The Rush Limbaugh Show has the results of an investigation that names the people tweeting, facebooking, and emailing small businesses with harassing and bullying messages over and over until they surrender. These names are surprising, and include a tenured professor at Kent State University using her official email account to badger advertisers.

At this point, a little lawfare by our side is needed. If Brett Kimberlin and his crew can get away with it, why not the good guys?
I'm anxiously awaiting the squeals of rage when these are dragged into various court rooms. "Why, we're just volunteers!" "We've never heard of Media Matters!" "We were paid just enough to buy cat food and cat litter!" "At this point, what does it matter? Rush is still going strong!"
Yes, he is. And that is victory enough, really.
