At least seven other companies have pulled ads from Limbaugh's show because of his comments.

Well I guess as Rush said these advertisers are not interested in Rush listeners

Huh, I listen almost everyday to RL and have never heard an AOL ad. I thought they were bought out by the HuffPo.

AOL is a crappy business anyway.

They don’t want our money? I will be letting them know how I feel though. :)

They recently bought the Huffington Post. I can't believe they were still advertising on Rush.

AOL?

They are/were a Rush advertiser?

I don't remember ever hearing one of their ads on the EIB network.

AOL? What’s that, like, a hamburger stand, or an insurance outfit?

Its not about public pressure concerning intemperate comments anymore.

The decision makers at these companies are ideologically opposed to what Limbaugh stands for.

At least we know who they are. I'd hate to give my money to a company who held my beliefs in contempt.

“I didn’t even know AOL was still in business.”

Ditto - and if they are still in business, I have no idea why.

It doesn’t matter that he apologized.

All that matters is that these leftists want to get rid of Rush Limbaugh and all conservative voices in the media. They see their big chance to destroy talk radio and they are going for it.

I used Legal Zoom for a will and thought if I needed similar again, I’d use them again. I sent them an email this morning telling them they can forget that sh!t.
