Jonathan Alter: When Will Liberals Call for More Boycotts of 'Racist' Rush Limbaugh?

[For more, see video cross-posted at NewsBusters.] Former Newsweek editor Jonathan Alter appeared on the Ed Show, Tuesday, to lobby for more boycotts of the "racist" Rush Limbaugh. The talk show host's crime, according to the author, is making a few joking comments about the shoe-throwing incident involving Hillary Clinton last week. On his radio show, Limbaugh mused, "I can totally relate to people who think that everything the Clintons do is staged...I just don't attach much genuineness to them." Limbaugh allowed, "Maybe it's because in my subconscious, I think it was staged." Alter railed against Limbaugh, assailing, "When do more boycotts of Rush Limbaugh's sponsors come? You know, there's been some racist garbage over the years. He's been racist on any number of occasions. " Alter lamented that there has only been " a little bit of a boycott" over past incidents.
