Hum? Well, as I listen today, sure doesn’t seem he is lacking in advertisers.

No, this isn’t his Imus moment. It is the corrupt MSM fanning the flames attempting to provide fuel to the embers. Sorry Steelfish, I ain’t clicking on the article to give hits to the story.

How about:

“Rush continues to dominate talk radio, despite controversy”

or

“Limbaugh sponsor share value tanks after dropping ads”

We live in parallel universes.

So long as the advertisers flinch to every whining liberal, this will continue. If they would stand up and demand their freedom to decide where and how to advertise - based on their business need - then the libs would see the futility and back off.

Now Allstate Insurance has joined the dropouts, I'm hoping that all of the Allstate insureds that cherish freedom of speech, will change companies ASAP.

Trying to control Rush, or any other talk show host by threatening their livlihood is just their statement that they don't allow any opinions that the left won't allow them to have.

All I hear during Rush’s commercial breaks are, well, commercials... the ones I always hear. Me-thinks most advertisers know where to put their advertising dollars. But hey, even if advertisers leave, that makes more room for Rushbo’s parody commercials... love-em all!

The comments on Yahoo are scathing toward ABC/Yahoo and are supportive of Limbaugh.

Just a cleanout of communists liberals from advertising using Rush. Hopefully Rush will get rid of them all and allow only conservative Constitutional honest advertisers.

Headline should read, Rush Discovers True Allies as Fake Friends Jump Ship.

They made millions advertizing through him. One little un-PC moment and they’re gone.

He’ll keep going, they won’t.

Imus Moment? More like wishful thinking.

Rush has plenty of headroom in his business model to lose ad revenue and still be “sustainable”, a concept the left loves to scold us about. No doubt he also has capital to draw on to cover any cash flow deficit for a long time.

But to bring up Imus is a hoot, almost silly, because these same people have very short memories. Imus’ sin had a half-life of about 3 months, and now he is back. The same will happen to Rush, although the left will keep fanning the fires and the half-life on the slut kerfuffle will be a little longer.

There is a market-clearing rate for Rush that even today would fill every one of the slots in his show clock that are his to sell.

I can’t wait until I hear who Rush signs on as replacement sponsors. I hope he has a bunch lined up waiting to get in :)

How to end this leftist nonsense:

Everyone should go to the ProFlowers site and load up a shopping cart with thousand$ of dollar$ worth of flowers, click to complete the sale and fill in ‘RUSH LISTENER’ as first name & last name. When it wants you to put in credit card info, abandon the cart. Repeat at every other shopping cart based advertiser that drops Rush.

If thousands do it from coast to coast, it will tie up their website with zero sales. When they analyze the abandoned carts they will find out that RUSH fans affect their sales more than sluts who refuse to pay for their own birth control.

Well ABC, perhaps Rush will simply buy your network and fire all of you?!?!?!

Imus moment?

Mau-Mauing the Fluke rappers.

This morning Imus finally calmed down a bit

He blasted Rush for "vile, repulsive name-calling" after a day of worse "vile, repulsive name-calling" of his own toward Rush.

-- this from Drug-addled Don Imus who calls Gingrich "Skunk Vomit" and calls Santorum "Butt Pus". Drug-addled Don even had his audience vote on the name for Santorum.

I know that childish name-calling is his schtick.. but he ain't kidding here. Why the arrogance? Professinal jealousy? Has to be. Rush does his show solo.. Imus needs a talented staff of on-air assistants to remain on air -- and that's a fact.

(Yes he says he stopped ILLEGAL drugs.. but I believe that unlike alcohol traces of drugs remain in the body for a long time.)

24 corporate weenies bow to a flood of pseudo outraged leftist shills on Facebook?

Guess the left is trying to “arab spring” Rush Limbaugh by intimidating his sponsors

LOL! Now are Axelrod Inc and his flying monkeys gonna reward those sponsors by buying their products? Because those companies slinking away from Rush have jusr dissed and pissed the largest radio show audience in the US by playing along with a leftist assault on free speech.

Do they think we the people “NEED” the products they have been shilling on the EIB network? Where else are they going to buy ad time to reach millions of people?

This is going to get interesting.

Soldier on, Rush. When the going gets tough, we find out who the tough really are.
