Ads Rushing Out Of Limbaugh Show?

See there, I told you just the other night you wouldn't know what to think or say about anything until Ann Coutler wrote it.

You are a fool.

While we do wish to make our name known, and while we cannot control what other websites post, or what is said on radio programs, we do want to ensure that we are not making a political affiliation.

Did you reply to let him know that by cancelling ads on Rush's site and Rush's site ALONE, while allowing them to continue to appear randomly on whatever liberal sites their banner ad compny has deals with, Overstock HAS MADE AN OVERT PRO-LEFT, ANTI-RIGHT POLITICAL AFFILIATION?

More importantly, do the executives in their Salt Lake City HQ know about this?

[TLBSHOW]

Like I care what you say your a Rush Limbaugh hater! Why are you even on this thread?

[Fred Mertz]

That wasn't a very nice thing to say. I might have to hit the abuse button on you, howlin.

[FastCoyote]

Thanks HHFi, you are quite correct. I've done a little PR stuff, and yeah, it's pretty transparent push writing.

[M. Thatcher]

Call them what they are, socialists.

Yep. I was quoting. Actually, they are commie pinko fascists.

[Howlin]

It's your night to be the thread nanny, huh?

I told him to STOP posting to me......and he won't stop.

And if you think HE knows a lot, you could very well be one of the few on here who do.

"Progressive? Call them what they are, socialists."

You have that right. The left have been trying to get Rush off the air since he made it big. They haven't done it so far and I doubt they will do it in the future.

[Howlin]

Who cares anyway? Liberals don't have money to spend......LOL.

[M. Peach]

Just for the record - I believe Oswald was set up - he was a patsy according to those who knew him best - according to a documentary on the History Channel.

[TLBSHOW]

She is the most hateful person on fr.

[TLBSHOW]

if you don't care go to a bush bot thread

[Timesink]

All bets are off. See what my Senator Feingold has been up to?

Doesn't matter. His opinions don't change the reality that the Fairness Doctrine is no longer necessary because the companies that utilize the "public airwaves" are no longer able to monopolize then even if they wanted to do so. Anyone who wants to get out an opinion can now do so. A 21st century FD would be unconstitutional. Period.

"Within 18 hours, RadioShack (RSH: news, chart, profile) had folded. Within 36 hours, Amtrak was gone and Bose told us they were no longer advertising on the show," Stinson said.

Well I won't boycott Rush but I will avoid these idiots

Thanks for the list Stinson

[Howlin]

Who can avoid you? You're spamming every thread on FR with your cut and paste.

[TLBSHOW]

they are commie pinko fascists

BUMP

[txradioguy]

Agreed. But I was just making a point about that damn hippie trying to scare off the advertisers. Just because you wore the uniform, doesn't automatically exempt you from criticism about your anti-American beliefs.

[TLBSHOW]

bump

[Fred Mertz]

That wasn't a very nice thing to say either, Toddster.

[GunRunner]

To me, this whole article sounds like manufactured horse sh*t. The Bose Wave Radio has been personally endorsed by Rush and I've heard him read the ad for it hundreds of times.

Another statement that bothered me was:

the program will lose much of its economic value to local stations and station groups regardless of how well its audience numbers are doing.

I'm no radio expert, but this sounds like the biggest bunch of crap I've ever heard. There is absolutely no example that anyone can point to where an enormously popular program that exceeded its competition by leaps and bounds faltered because of a lack of advertisers.

Whoever wrote this article is a sycophant to the anti-American losers who are sponsoring this thing like Mr. Stinson.
