Ads Rushing Out Of Limbaugh Show?

he and his fans could end up in less desirable timeslots or on fewer outlets

Yeah right. The vast number of radio stations have Rush as their main commodity. If Rush did experience a downturn all he'd have to do would be to take on a few unknowns like he did in the beginning. They'd become rich and Rush would have new sponsors.

Religious nuts huh? That is so offensive it is beyond words!
Radio Shack will not care, but I will never do business there again if this is true. I am sure they don't mind sponsoring shows that show one sided agendas when it is the leftists! In fact, I know they don't!

BTW: Take back the media, you are anti American!

"Take back the media, you are anti American!"

Ya know when I posted this the other day, I found it stuck way down in a little window called "headlines" of CBS.MarketWatch.com and it really ticked me off!!!

They're doing the same thing all over... stealthfully inserting their propoganda into the realm of the business world, trying desperately to plant their infection of doubt and fear in an effort to destroy America. It's hidious and insidious!!!

Now I've learned that the manufacturing process for the hard foam insulation on the Space Shuttle's huge main tank has been changed to eliminate the use of FREON!

The leftist EnvironMentalists may very well have doomed this flight and I sure hope Rush picks up on it. Roger Hedgecock sure let the Sierra Flub have it the other day!!!

I have nothing but abject contempt for these anti-American traditional culture members of GANG-GREEN!!!

[Dog Gone]

Amen.

[SierraWasp]

Now that's what I call a "thread benediction!"

[McCloud-Strife]

Kicked off last week on the website of a group called Take Back The Media, the effort is generating a growing buzz among online progressives (or, if you prefer, "liberals") -- along with hundreds of angry e-mails to companies that sponsor what it calls Limbaugh's "hateful chortling and guffawing."

Hundreds? Hundreds?? You gotta be kidding me! Rush Averages 10,000+ Emails on an average day from listeners, 20 Million listeners in a week. How much you want to bet that most of these 20 million folks make more than these "hundreds" of dimwits put together. Anyone who would throw away customers like that do not deserve to be in business anyway

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the fact that when the lefties tried to boycott Orange juice because of the Rush connection, you literally couldn't buy the stuff because Rush fans were sweeping it off the shelves in record numbers.

The same thing happened with a restaurant in Santa Barbara, CA that was advertising on the Rush show in the local market. You couldn't get into the place, it was so busy with Rush fans. :-)

This is the lw "progressive" spearheading the harassment or Rush's advertisers, the pic speaks for itself.

I hope those cartoons aren't what is supporting him (re: #248). If so, those people in SanFran are in need of a serious humor transplant.

"CHRISTTIANS"

At leest I gots an excuse... I ain't had no learnin, nohow!!! You an me... E.G.C.!!!

>>>William Spain is a reporter for CBS.MarketWatch.com in Chicago. <<<

Look at the by-line on this story - is it possible that CBS is interested in sowing disinformation? They do with everything else political - so why not this?

[HardStarboard]

>>>Hopefully, "Spatula City" will not be intimidated into cancelling their ads. <<<

Probably not, but they may be forced into cutting back on the incredible variety of spatulas they carry. That might hurt business.

Actally, the "Viet Nam-era vet" guy is a shill for the Limbaugh PR machine, which created the "Take Back the Media" website and phony organization to provide an ongoing antagonist for dialectic balance - in the hopes of increasing listenership and ad sales. It seems to be working well.

[ppaul]

This is one made-up, well-dressed religious nut who consumes more than her fair share of Honey Brown.

"Religious nut"?

[Xenalyte]

"Religious nut"?

Maybe "religious nut" is a bit strong to describe me, but I was answering rhetoric with rhetoric.

I'm pro-life for religious (and compassionate) reasons. I hold several other views as a result of my Episcopalian upbringing, but I don't feel like getting flamed or insulting anyone inadvertently.

Insulting people on purpose, however, is something I consider my specialty. :)

[Elkiejg]

I ran a search of our threads - didn't see a notice, but when Ichecked Rush's website just now, it announces that he will be back on the air TODAY!! Listen up you all.

[SierraWasp]

I did and he won't be back tomorrow. He just couldn't stay away today... to much going on in the whirled!!!

[Notwithstanding]

The "Christian" right's attack on "NYPD Blue" in the early 1990s, on the other hand, was a complete failure. It initially scared off some marketers but the program's ratings and demographics were so good that it attracted business from sectors that don't sell to religious nuts anyway


====> this "journalist" calls us religious nuts? hoe unbiased...
