CA State Sen Leland Yee Calls for Boycott of Limbaugh Advertisers, Receives Threatening Fax
Leland Yee, who recently criticized Rush Limbaugh over the radio host's mocking impression of Chinese President Hu Jintao, is now calling for a boycott of the radio host's advertisers.

Today, Yee's office said it had received a fax that mentions Limbaugh and contains racist language and a graphic of a noose.

A couple of weeks ago, Yee's chief of staff, Adam Keigwin, said that a Pima County, Ariz sheriff's detective had questioned him about death threats that Yee had received connected to Yee's criticism of Sarah Palin last year. Keigwin said the detective was looking into a possible connection between those threats and the shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

11. Any bets this moron could even remotely come close to defining "Marxist"?
The stupidity and bone deep ignorance of these type of folks is an awesomething to behold. Limbaugh emboldens and reinforces their violent, racist ideas about the world.

And, Limbaugh is still on Armed Forces Radio! WTF is up with that? One would have thought that Dems would have replaced him during the last two years when they held both houses.

13. Anti-Marxist, Pro-font! I would so love for this idiot...
to be "exposed." How does someone get that far gone? Oh, right...a weak foundation plus decades of being poisoned by draft-dodging Rush Limbaugh.
