How could a boycott of the Koch brothers be done?

There are obvious reasons to do it, but my latest thought is that with advertisers pulling out of Rush's show, that there is a likelihood that they'll step in, somehow.

I think it would actually be difficult to do completely or thoroughly, but perhaps there are ways of doing something effective.

Ideas?

it's the people that get their support that we can make sweat.

if nobody will take your money, it doesn't matter how much you have.

The Koch's (pronounce that name anyway you seem fit) don't seem to care what anyone says about them, they appear oblivious to their reputation as one of the country's largest polluters. In fact, they seem to revel in their own filthy success!
