Report: Rush Limbaugh Staff Now Targets of Activists

Brian Glicklich

A Rush Limbaugh employee is being targeted by left-wing activists concerning illegally posted photographs of his immediate family, according to The Daily Caller.

Brian Glicklich, radio media consultant and spokesman for Rush Limbaugh, has come under the scanner of the “Stop Rush” advertiser boycott movement — a small collection of left-wing activists that use automated Twitter-based technologies to replicate the effect of national outrage when it goes after local small businesses that advertise on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show.

“In the course of my research, I discovered that Carol Wallin was one of the primary instigators of harassment and intimidation of advertisers. I reported that in my official documents,” Glicklich said. He presented his documents at the tine to The Daily Caller. Wallin is an activist linked to the “Stop Rush” advertiser boycott group.

After the publication of TheDC’s report, Wallin posted a photograph of Glicklich and his wife at their wedding. The photograph included Limbaugh, radio host Glenn Beck and sports commentator Jim Rome. Considering the threatening messages Glicklich was receiving (include numerous late-night phone calls to his home), he asked Twitter to take down the photo of his family on copyright grounds. Twitter complied with his request.

But little did Glicklich even know: Wallin was suing him. Wallin was suing Glicklich on cyber harassment grounds to prevent Glicklich from using her name or identifying information in public. This is a common activist tactic to remove “Stop Rush” activists’ names from cyber print.

The court struck down the claim for a Civil Harassment Order, citing no evidence, and ordered Wallin to serve Glicklich with the lawsuit if she wished to continue with it. She chose not to.

“The biggest objection that the leaders of Stop Rush have is their being identified by name and being associated with the odious comments they make,” Glicklich told The Daily Caller. “Shame is a powerful motivator and they should be ashamed of themselves, and they will be associated with their words. The fact that they become so violent and intimidating every time they are identified by name is proof of how ashamed they are of their actions.”
