If the lessons from the Imus episode are applied to Matthews

1. It will probably take years of protests against these kinds of remarks. FAIR's campaign against Imus goes back at least to 2000.
2. He will have to insult someone who is not a public figure.
3. People within the network, as well as people at the companies that advertise with them will have to register their displeasure. Al Roker and Bruce Gordon were two such examples in the Imus episode.
4. Professional organizations in the news industry will have to weigh in.

His own words are proof enough

I thought you might mention this website, Sweet Jesus, I Hate Chris Matthews, since there was chatter about it yesterday on the CE list. When I looked at the site, I thought the approach used there was just as offensive as Matthews himself. I don't think acting as insulting as the supposed target of your complaint is quite the approach to use to achieve change.

A factual recitation of the man's own offensive remarks should be quite enough to do him in.
