Coalition takes action against Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and
Media Mavens by launching stopthewitchhunt.org
New Website Condemns Ghoulish Tactics of Right-Wing Media Mavens Who Att
Administration as a Boogeyman
10.29.2009 – [Washington, DC] This Halloween, take action against the lies and
hate speech that Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Lou Dobbs, Paul Brown, and Pat
Buchanan have been spewing in a nationwide witch hunt.
Echo Justice, a coalition of national and local organizations launched a multi-media
counter to the right-wing’s echo chamber. StopTheWitchHunt.org is a newly found
multimedia watch dog portal that will use social media and mobile communications
to take a grassroots stand and “call out” the mischaracterizations and hate speech
that has been going un-checked for too long.
“History has taught that bad things happen when good people are silent,” says
Makani Themba of The Praxis Project, a member of the Echo Justice coalition.
“StoptheWitchHunt.org allows us to confront these scare tactics and make our
voices heard.”
The website is designed to give voice to the millions of Americans who believe it is
time for talk-show hosts and elected officials to stop stoking the racial anxieties of
the fringes of America.
Beck and his fellow band of hooligans have been telling scary stories about the
person Limbaugh has disrespectfully referred to as “the little black man child.” Beck
recently accused the biracial President of having “a deep-seated hatred for white
people or the white culture.” And he has attacked a number of key Administration
officials accusing them of being socialist and anti-American. Limbaugh, who has a
history of making racially charged remarks about Obama, has called the mixed-race
president “a halfrican American.” Days before the President’s inauguration in
January, Limbaugh said, “I hope he fails.”
Stop the Witch Hunt.org is just the beginning of a multi-media campaign to support a
new resistance to these Halloween Goons. Visit stopth
