Has DU ever done anything like what the wingers just did to Whoopi
or like they did to the Dixie Chicks?

I guess the closest thing I can think of is when we write into Rush's sponsors.

3. No, but some older gay people can tell you...
about what we they did to Anita Bryant. It was beautiful!:D

Her audiences today consist of Nursing Home residents.

5. What'd they do?
I thought the CEO of Slim-Fast was a big supporter of Democrats.

Or are you referring to something else?

6. The gay rights groups helped get Dr. Laura's TV show
cancelled. It was a crappy show, as I recall, and likely wouldn't have lasted long anyway, but the gays expedited the process!

7. Dr. Laura's & Savage's TV shows getting cancelled?
Though that was more the power of the gay community than DU.

8. Didn't Rush Get Kicked Off Monday Night Football
On the other hand, he had made a completely inappropriate comment that should have gotten him fired, sans protests, so I don't know if that counts.
