Rush won. Fluke is still a slut, and he’s still on the air.

LOL! You think Rush “miscalculated”??? Really. We all know the Rats have these operatives scattered everywhere and they are waiting for them to be needed to credate a diversion. Did you ever see a photo of a tank? Did you wonder what all those little cylinders pointing at odd angles were? Those are smoke grenade launchers. When the commander realizes he is in trouble he “pops smoke” and disappears.
The Rats use these operatives like Fluke to create a distraction when they need to control the news cycle. A complicit media knows this and helps out. Rush knows it, too. This time he jumped in and escalated things so that it would get LOTS of attention. We all knew she wuold eventually be outed as the Rat operative she is and the news cycle would “flip” on the Rats. It is “Rush Judo”.

Relax. Rush knows what he is doing.

Wow! You just ignorant, or not paying attention? Rush kicked butt. Obama's whole orchestrated campaign, including the Fluke put-up job has back-fired completely. Obama lost support among both women and men over the past week.

The American people are not as gullible as you and the left seem to believe. They saw through this transparent attempt to deflect their attention away from the bad economy. Obama's approval numbers are now the lowest in his short, unremarkable history.

The Rats set a trap. Limbaugh fell straight into it.

He’s a moron.

I'm afraid the Fluke fiasco exposes what I see as Rush Limbaugh's problem: declining relevance

Really now... declining relevance? Is that why the left is so doggedly trying to force him off the air?

Rush won this battle... big time. There's no denying it.

Rush won this one. Pure and simple.

It was actually an amazing thing to watch. The last thing the left wants is a vetting of The Slut, or the misdeeds of the left.

Seriously? Rush had a GREAT show yesterday analyzing the results of the weeks-long contraception debate and it’s KILLING the Democrats. They have an 11-point loss on this subject, and Obama has lost ground with women. Go Rush. Hit Fluke again, harder.

Yeah right already. Tell Hillary to hit her magic reset button. Lesson learned. Even if you take his characterization as false it knocks him down to what? 94.5? .6?

Rush doesn’t need your advice. He has been and continues to be number one in his field and has the millions to prove it.

When you have his success then maybe you can tell him how he should do things.

Het there “Battle of Tours”, Rush has a Radio Audience of over 20 Million, for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. How big is YOUR Radio Show? I DO NOT THINK that Rush needs advice from the likes of YOU!

Declining relevance? Hardly. Rush may have stumbled in word choice; yet, his incredulousness over the audacity of a woman insisting someone else paying for her birth control well reflected the view of Americans.

More than a week later where is Sandra Fluke? Any idea? Where is Rush? He “suspended” himself for a Pro-Am tournament; there's a one/two week suspension of national sponsors; and, by all accounts, his audience has increased. So, who won?

Where is the issue of women needing to get free birth control? Is the issue still front and center on the media radar? Are Obama’s poll numbers still climbing as women flock to support him? I don't know about your neck of the woods, but in mine political talk is about high gas prices, high food prices, Iran, Afghanistan, and why they don't like Barry.

Rush's comments, whether appropriate or not, are a minor blip on the radar. One battle in a larger war.

What Rush did was calculated from the very beginning, and it worked. Go look at Breitbart’s Big websites (start at Breitbart.com), and you will see how the blowback has been entirely against the Rats.

Have you ever heard of Mau-Mauing?

The Left's Mau-Mauing, threats, and actual violence has worked for decades.

The conservative under attack yields 90+ percent of the "debate" just to get the harassment to stop. The Left has only to yield ten percent or less and advances another notch toward seceding from our Republic to create their "democracy."

(It cannot be a real debate because the Left quit actually debating fifty years ago and instead just screams "Nazi!" "Bigot!" "Hate monger!" "Racist!")

Back then we did not have modern talk radio -- the liberals used the "Fairness Doctrine" to suppress the right -- and there was no Internet. If the city had no conservative newspaper you were SOL vis-a-vis free speech.

I had to search through magazine stores to find the few limited-circulation conservative publications and shop John Birch Society's American Opinion book store to "get the rest of the story."

We were the silenced generation -- that's why we were silent except on election day; e.g., election 1972 when we rejected the MSM's McGovern; to wit,

Richard M. Nixon.. 520 electoral votes 46,740,323 popular votes.
George McGovern.... 17 electoral votes 28,901,598 popular votes.

(The MSM got even with Nixon, what did Nixon do that LBJ and JFK didn't do? Ans: Nothing. IMO.)

The most common caller comment during the early days of modern talk radio (early 1990s) was "This is great! I didn't know other people share my opinions!"

Fluke the fascist Left!

Lessons learned:

1. Rush’s listener loyalty trumps protester weasels.
2. Rush wins again. No such thing as bad publicity.
3. The realization that the connection between advertiser and endorsement of show content is weak at best as the public becomes educated on the inner workings of this business.
4. By yielding to protesters, the advertisers are taking sides and must weigh risks.
5. Advertisers should explain that they pay for listeners, not for particular content.
