The growing power of Rush Limbaugh's most loyal legion of listeners

The world's foremost shock jock — the man who just declared that Mitt Romney 'is the only guy that looked presidential [during the Libya attack] — has listeners who never miss a radio broadcast. They listen, then immediately act upon scores of new action items gleaned from each and every Limbaugh show. No one pays them for data input, making contacts, and networking around the clock, seven days a week. And no one knows how many true believers there are, for they participate in forums on different social media sites across the web. These network ninjas are honing skills through their own experiences, for week after week they receive feedback on what works, and what doesn't. Loyal to a fault, they are the Rush Limbaugh Show's most dedicated listeners, but none of them receive EIB engraved iPads from Rush. Indeed, many ignore the radio host's diatribes entirely! These network ninjas, loyal to the goal of ultimately getting Limbaugh off the air, listen to record and catalog his sponsors. And the number of activists joining this anti-Limbaugh legion continues to grow.

Continued here.
