Thank you Christine Blasey Ford for coming forward. We are all supporting you. Now @ChuckGrassley @SenFeinstein let's #ReopenKavanaughHearing.
Sexual assault or abuse are not the norm!

(9,090 posts)i'm sure it's already starting on fox this sunday but at 12 EST tomorrow, monday, limbaugh will attempt do to Ford what he did to Anita Hill. people got sandra fluke's back and chased a lot of advertisers off limbaugh's show
another more widespread effort could finally destroy the ability of the right to keep doing this shit and artificial intelligence just made it much more easy and cheap to find out what local and national companies are advertising on RW radio stations and contact them - with minimal listening
all RW radio stations will attack her, her family, and supporters
from republicionradio.org....
Artificial intelligence now makes it very easy to list talk radio advertisers
1) Record
Quicktime, on every Mac, is a basic app for recording audio streams. While playing the stream turn on Quicktime, go to 'File' and 'New Audio Recording'. Turn on the recorder and when you're done save it. With Quicktime it is necessary to have volume on. Other recording apps will allow recording multiple streams at the same time, pre scheduling, and editing.
2) Transcribe
At $5/hr and under, Sonix.ai may be the cheapest, quickest, and easiest transcription service. An hour takes minutes and is very accurate with good recordings. When it's done they send an email with a link to the transcription in their editing program where it can be downloaded or tweaked and corrected on their site as you listen. It can also be stored there. The monthly subscription is $15 but they offer a 30 minutes free trial.
3) Search for "DOT" to identify advertisers
Live recordings of radio streams include advertisements and most announce web sites transcribed as "so-and-so-company dot com". Most advertisers can be found by searching for the word "dot". Sometimes the ads provided phone numbers. The Sonix text editor allows you to highlight and add notes. Each company or quote can get a note that is listed and numbered. The notes can then be copied and pasted elsewhere.
4) Contact
Most websites provide phone numbers and email addresses specifically for contact by potential customers. Complaint emails may get further up the chain of command than a phone call, and there's a lasting written record for employees to pass around. It may also be easier for sympathetic staff to pass on a comment to a boss in email form than personally.

(9,090 posts)once they get that message, and some of those universities start pulling out of rw radio it will fall apart
limbaugh just started the attack on "epitomy of decency" kavenaugh
there will be plenty of quotes to use
saying ford has already scrubbed her social media trail (so we'll have to keep looking)
"deranged leftist professor", bad professor
"dark, troubled"
"severe psychological problems"
hired activist democrat lawyer

Call all senators and give them the same call.

(12,448 posts)We had socials, dances, etc. with them. I can personally attest that the school was a cesspool of white male privilege. Some of them thought that we girls existed for their sexual pleasure. What I experienced wasn't attempted rape, but groping, bullying, veiled threats, etc. This was at a school sponsored event. I can imagine that things got much worse in a private, unchaperoned, home party. Christine Blasey Ford is completely believable.

No Bill Maher you make us look bad and stop with the liberal bashing especially over stuff conservatives do.
Bill Maher scolds 'loser' libs over Kavanaugh 'high school' allegation: 'Makes us look bad'

Posting a Fox News link because it is often conservative publications that praise Maher's liberal bashing. She is no longer anonymous and it was detailed credible allegation but coming forward makes us look bad another reason not to come forward.
