Hilo, Hawaii March 5, 2012: New West Broadcasting announced today that it is discontinuing the Rush Limbaugh program on KPUA AM 670 in Hilo, Hawaii effective immediately.
Chris Leonard, President and General Manager of New West released the following statement this morning:
We have always encouraged spirited discussion about national and local issues on KPUA and from time to time those discussions may be deemed by some to be objectionable. We are strong believers in the first amendment and have recognized Mr. Limbaugh's right to express opinions that often times differ from our own, but it has never been our goal to allow our station to be used for personal attacks and intolerance. The most recent incident has crossed a line of decency and a standard that we expect of programming on KPUA whether it is locally produced or a syndicated program like the Rush Limbaugh show. [snip] As a result, we are discontinuing the Rush Limbaugh program on KPUA effective immediately.

None so blind as they who will not see....
There is a huge conspiracy right now to drive Rush Limbaugh, and ALL commentary that supports the conservative point of view, from the air. They seize upon his words, looking for double meanings and hidden meanings behind those words, and say, “See! See! Bigotry, and hatred, and incivility!”
As if Rush invented the bigotry, the hatred, the incivility. All those were there all the time, but through the magic of projection, the faults of others are reflected and magnified upon those whom would be driven out.
But surprise, the world still turns, Rush still speaks, and a certain bewilderment befalls those who accuse him of improprieties. Why does Rush not simply crumple to the ground? Does he not understand the gravity of the charges made against him?
Sandra Fluke is an attention hog, greedily absorbing the spotlight, and acting the wounded innocent. But by her example, how many other young (and not so young) are encouraged to step up, point fingers, and say, “This is the devil who made me do it!”, referring to some authority figure, in a rash attempt to use some semblance of shame to force a confession of guilt from that authority figure? She who is without shame herself is in no position to force guilt upon another, and should be revealed as such.
Rush used language that was much too mild in describing Sandra Fluke. And for that, he need never to have apologized.
Here’s their schedule for today and the rest of the week minus Limbaugh. They just threw away their best program and probably their only moneymaker. Fools.

Wonder if genealogical records in Salt Lake City have any recent additions or deletions in the Honolulu section? Wouldn’t be funny to Mitt show up with a birth certificate straight out of the Utah archives?
670 10/10kW
Another station will pick him up. No loss.
Another station will pick him up. No loss.
Reality check time.
What Limbaugh said wasn’t that big a deal and SF is not some poor little thing who wandered in off the street. She is an absurd leftist gender warrior.
And broadcasting at 5,000 watts, it can probably be heard from across the street...
That schedule is a complete waste of good electricity.
There are 2 other AM and around 9 FM stations in Hilo.
I’m sure he’ll get picked up someplace else.
“Pirate Radio Operators for Rush” anybody?
The other station that dropped him was WBEC in Pittsfield MA (nr NY border)

My email to them -
So ah, what are you going to do to meet your financial goals?
Let’s see, how about Ed Schultz? No. He calls women nasty names too.
How about Bill Maher? Nah. He also calls women nasty names.
I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
Bad move on your part. Sorry for your loss.

KHVH radio 830 AM - Honolulu still carries Rush and that is audible over the entire State of Hawaii , but not Hilo side .
Thank you!
You are Breitbaricus!
You rock..!! Nice...!
It cuts to the core. It burns.
I know just what you’re feeling.
Good on ya.
Fluke you, New West Broadcasting.
If you are publicly held, I’m accessing my Interactive Brokers account and shorting.
thanks ma’am
We should all be inspired by Brietbart. He taught us alot about how to fight back against these cretins . Hit them hard , and then stamp their toes on the way down . No prisoners
Now , off to work and get to some radio de-programming ;^)
What’ll kill them worse than anything is when someone else picks Rush up and kicks the stew out of them.
“I can take to gnarly looks from the pineapples but this is the last straw.”
Hmmm...”pineapple” would be a racial slur, except racism is now enshrined in the Hawaii state constitution. IIRC, one doesn’t have full citizenship rights or something without provable Hawaiian ancestry.
Heard many reports about open hostility towards “haoles” and “malahinis”. Tourist guides giving angry lectures demanding “respect”. Beachgoers being confronted by locals declaring “this is our beach, not yours”.
With their yellowfanged radical governor and no U.S. flag at the state capitol, Hawaii needs to be handed over to the Japanese with apologies.
Wow that is an exciting lineup I bet they have trilllions listening. You know I bet these stations and advertisers think they will get attention so in a backwards way they are trying to get more listeners and or consumers what they don’t realize is most likey the people who are calling or signing petitions are living in the OWS tents.
