Bill Mahr said worse than that about Palin. Rush doesn’t need those sponsors or the radio gig for that matter. I just woulnt pay them any mind. In fact, I think this is a perfect opportunity for Rush to address sherriff Arpaio’s findings.

Easy now. Rush has over 600 affilate stations, meaning he is an ad salesman’s wet dream. The stupid liberals just bought even more ad time from Rush..

I’ll be glad to see Carbonite go. I detest the commercials because he reads them off as part of the normal show, and I feel like I’ve been “gotcha’ed” every time I realize it’s an ad. That’s when I go off to a music channel for the rest of my drive.

HA! I think the exact same thing.

I know Rush sort of mastered the art of including the commercials in various parts of his monologue, but I find it really irritating. I realize it is one of the things that makes him successful and keeps him on the air, but I can't help feeling tricked every time he, Hannity, etc, pull these increasingly seamless transitions from talk about economic/political issues into advertising for Carbonite, Goldline, etc.

I just cancelled my Citrix (GoToMeeting) account and sent them this message:

Just dropped your service. If you decide you want to rethink your Rush Limbaugh decision please let me know and we will consider using your product again. I don’t think it is appropriate for you to bring politics into your business relationships. Especially when it is in support of a woman that completely misrepresented herself and her issues.

His upcoming Monday show will be historic. That is, if he doesn’t take the day off.. I don’t see how anyone can stand in defense of a 30 year old POLITICAL HACK lawyer who misrepresents herself and LIES about using contraceptives while being LESBIAN. WTF?

Glad to see the overdue exposure of these Liberal companies for what they are.

Let them pull their ads. They took that profit to support Obama and other Liberal causes anyway. Legal Zoom is owned by Shapiro, the famed OJ Lawyer who helped a brutal murderer walk off Scott free.

Rush will pick up ten more better sponsors, for every one of these rats that abandon a perfectly good ship.

Stand your ground Rush! (I have a hunch that is exactly what he intends to do.)

Well, it is interesting that all of the GBTV shows we watch seem to have new advertisers every week, as well as the original underwriters.

Compare the reach he has now with what he had with Fox. What I’m saying is that the progressives in government, business and the MSM are engaged in a full court press that is seeing results. Media Matters is stronger today than in the past. It is just dandy to call Israel a terrorist entity but Callanetics activist a slut when she talks like one merits the death penalty.

We had one of those monstrosities, lasted two years then started to leak. Was a big disappointment even when it worked.

You’ve been misinformed. Glenn Beck didn’t lose his advertisers. He left cable stations to start his own TV station, GBTV. BTW if you’re not already subscribed to it you should. It’s great and very informative and growing by leaps and bounds.

I actually subscribe to GBTV Plus. I love Glenn’s 5 o’clock show and the BS of A. But, I don’t know anyone else in my network of conservative family and friends who subscribes to GBTV. It remains to be seen how successful GBTV will be.

I dunno.

Beck is now a bigger fish, in a smaller pond.

He literally owns the pond, and is making it bigger by the day.

Fox and the left may rue the day, they went after Beck.

He doesn’t need these advertisers,

Let's just say, other ads will take their place. If it's worth it, they will put their ads back on RUSH's show, because of .... money .....and after the huhhah dies down. The public has a very short term memory.

I just emailed Carbonite that if they CANCEL Rush....I will CANCEL our CARBONITE! Suggest others do the same.

And how many advertisers pulled their commercials after Bill Mahr’s vile attacks on Sarah Palin? Or any other liberals’? (I haven’t a clue how to spell his name.) These advertisers can spend their money as they choose—and so can I!

Do these advertisers know that Sandra Fluke is a fraud?

You mean the same advertisers that have been selling you a box of 10% detergent and 90% ground up dog bones to wash your clothes in ?

Their CEO could have just kept his mouth shut,

Yes, the very CEO who is probably in the 1% that the boycotting moonbats loathe is now putty in their hands.

Someone should tell him that they're gonna hate him regardless of his pulling advertising from Limbaugh.

The free market will replace any advertisers overnight.

Maybe not overnight but they will find replacements. Rush, by the way, is paid a salary by contract. This doesn't hurt his revenue an iota but it will make the network suffer short term. The worst that will happen is that the network may offer discounted rates for awhile to attract new customers but it won't take them very long.

And those new advertisers will have the benefit of picking up Rush as an advertiser just in time for the 2012 campaign which is when more listeners tune in.

Let these weak-kneed advertisers walk. It's better to be hungry at times and what better time for Rush to be motivated than during the general election?

Could we all post the contact addresses/links/phone numbers for these seven companies, as we make contact with them? Let’s not allow these leftist bastards to injure one of OUR OWN.

Folks, this is war...fight with all your might and let the left AND these companies know we Americans who love the Constitution, our freedom and liberty, WILL NOT BE STOPPED.
