Steven Eimers, who runs a local window cleaning service and recorded the advertisement at WOKI Knoxville yesterday, says he bought the ad not just to earn business but because he wanted to support free speech.

"I've already got a ton of positive repsonses," Eimers told me. "I'm just a small little window cleaning company, but for a small business guy the ads on Rush right now are not that expensive. To be able to stand up for what you believe in is just incredible."

In the 60-second spot, his first advertisement in over ten years, Eimers says Limbaugh made "morally wrong statements," but criticized a number of "dangerous, radical organizations" for seizing upon those statements and to attack free speech....

Libs are going to love to boycott him because there’s nothing they love more than to destroy small businesses. What does he have? A window cleaning biz? I guess he’ll soon have a visit by the EPA as well. “Windex has been shown to harm house mites so pay $439,000 or we will shut you down”

“Eimers says Limbaugh made “morally wrong statements”...”

He kind of loses the benefit of taking a strong First Amendment stance with that line. Why didn’t he say he use the term “controversial”, or “statements that some people find objectionable”? If he did that, he’d own the local window cleaning business.

As it is, this guy came quite close to following my suggested script from a week ago...

It’s Lenoir City and it is located in Loudon County. I know it very well. Smart move. It is very conservative and moving fast despite Obama.
