The financial model that fueled Rush Limbaugh’s radio show seems to have disintegrated in recent weeks, with at least 100 advertisers reportedly abandoning his radio program.

According to Rush that 100 is across all 600 radio stations which have more than 18,000 advertisers between them. Not even a drop in the bucket and those 100 have already been replaced.

Evidently, “Politico” really wants a mention on Limbaugh’s show. I hope he resists.

David Brock seems to be a gem, doesn't he?

Don’t know if it’s my computer, but there isn’t a place to leave comments at the Politico site. Or is that because they don’t have the server space to hold all the responses?

Brock squeals:

Our democracy is dependent on a vigorous public square where left and right openly debate the issues of the day. For 20 years, Limbaugh’s program has not added to this debate. By attacking public figures in the most hateful terms and working to silence brave citizens who speak up, he has, instead, diminished it.

We are NOT a democracy. We are a republic. And some issues are beyond debate, and fall within the area of unchangables that any legitimate form of government must honor. The purpose of government is to punish wrongdoers, NOT to provide medical care, etc. That is the rock our constitutional republic is built upon. Liberal dems and their willing RINO accomplices have been chipping away at this for decades, if not centuries.

For 20's years Limbaugh's program has been a single voice, "crying in the wilderness" of liberal monopoly on broadcast airwaves. "Limbaugh IS equal time." Before Limbaugh there was no debate. We were spoon fed the fare those in control allowed us.

The hypocritical left can't stand it when Limbaugh "to make a point" mimics their techniques against them. They scream like stuck pigs.

And the likes of poor Graeme Frost and Sandra Fluke were hardly innocent citizens standing around minding their own business. When you’re used as a liberal prop, prepare to have your sob story questioned.

I’ve never stated this before because it sounds silly but after this Rush flap, I think there is merit in the thought that Brock doesn’t care about facts. I think he is operating under the assumption that if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes fact. Lord knows he has enough support among his left wing peers.

The problem they face with Rush is an angry Right refusing to back away and remain silent.

Simple projection by brooks. He is not looking at limbaugh...but himself.

Funny....but I’ve listened to Rush for years and years now....and I have never heard most of those “hundred” or so sponsors advertising on Rush’s show.

Oh well....nothing new here with the leftie lies.

Just another steaming pile of leftist manure.

Short version: Limbaugh has lost one-half of one percent of his show's advertisers. Oh, the Humanity! Brock is SUCH a tool. LOL!

When I was growing up and being raised a staunch Boston Jewish Liberal, I began to question that cult's assumptions. In return I was always personally attacked. Never a real counter-argument. Liberals/Marxists know they can never win an argument on fact. That we have allowed them to run rampant with personal attacks instead since 1964 is our shame.

Omoslem’s court jester chimes in.

Between gerbils, Brock finds time to slam Limbaugh on behalf of Nazi-collaborator Soros and the Fourth Reich.

I realize most gay men don’t use gerbils, but Brock just looks like he goes a’gerbling.

A recent article about Brock’s psycho ex-boyfriend mentioned Brock’s $8,000.00 Louis Vuitton suit bag.

Obama never spends more than $7,500 on his suit bags, thus proving there’s no Brock-Omoslem collusion on slamming Rush.

More arm waving from the left. Like the guys holding the oversized arrows on street corners.

I was hoping to see numbers, like percent of sponsors, percent decline in revenue, drop in listenership.

What we got was words, babble, and wishful thinking.

In other words, lefty speak.

It was seem Brock has ingested too much of that frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex.

Thank you for your input, Gay-vid. Now, back to the bathhouse.

Yes, and as usual, the leftist idiots accuse the right of doing what they, themselves, are either doing or TRYING to do.

"...and working to silence brave citizens who speak up..."

Yeah, racist. Just ask Ken Hutcherson, the pastor that married Rush and Katherine. Ken is not only a very devoted man of God, he is also African American.

It’s the same with homophobic: Rush is so homophobic he had Elton John play at his wedding reception.

It’s the same with his hatred and disrespect of women. Just ask any liberal female. They can’t tell you what a feminazi is but they (along with some of my former college profs) sure know he hates women. Any further questions, just ask Margaret Thatcher or Sara Palin or Mary Maitlin who used to host Rush’s show when he was absent.

Brock’s sexual orientation is not the issue. Making fun of it just lowers us to the level of the Left’s personal attack strategy. We can do better.
