These are the memories of a Freeper who lived in Sacramento, when Rush first came on the air.

I was just a boy at the time, and I just thought that Freeps should know just how much Rush has done for Sleep Train, over these decades.

I'm really mad about this, because someone treated me just like Sleep Train has recently treated Rush, and I know it doesn't feel good.

Maybe Spatula City will come back and buy some airtime.

As I think more about this, maybe Rush had no choice. Either his career is over, or he caves.

It’s not like there are independent radio stations and alternate syndication opportunities any longer.

If he gets dumped, he can’t get around not owning the network. Look what happened to Oprah and Beck. They are disappearing before our eyes.

Still, 20 million listeners a week is huge. But these corporate interests are not rational.

These are the same people that produce “R” rated movies by the truckload knowing that the rating is an automatic money disadvantage. The same people that produce christian bashing, military bashing, family bashing content; knowing it will fail financially.

Sleep Train probably learned that Sandra preferred using their beds for her exploits. She is one of their best costumers.

The beds can be dialed so it is exactly the right firmness for both partners. Sandra loves this feature and it really helps her meet her monthly quota.

The difference between the left and conservatives is this -— THEY KNOW HOW TO USE MUSCLE AND WIN.

And they are UNIFIED when it comes to attacking conservative causes.

On the other hand — notice how DIVIDED the Roman Catholics — whose moral teachings are being threatened -— are.

They can’t even muster a unified CLERGY PLUS LAIETY VOICE to stop Obama and the HHS’s assault.

One woman’s politically correct victimhood intimidates the leading Conservative Voice in the media, while conservatives cannot intimidate a leftist president to cause him to change his policy.

If Rush's show gets pulled, ( I don't think that will happen) then that will just give Rush more time to RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

Rush Limbaugh for President in 2012!

If Rush had a record label behind him, calling women “sluts” would be encouraged.

I have a feeling that Rush will be attending a:
BEER SUMMIT
Honorary Guests to include “DICK Van DYKE” and the Saul Alinsky Train Orchestra. Yikes - Would LOVE to be there with you Rushbo, but I have Sledge work to do with a load of boulders that day!

Didn’t even wait for Rush to “clarify”?

Oh good grief.

Great story; thx for sharing. I could ‘see’ everything in my mind’s eye; so that is good writing.

Good God! What that man posted is the truth. I know. I lived there in Sacto. It was like a JFK assassination or 911 moment. New to town. Eating lunch in my car. Listening to radio.

When I got home I could not wait to tell my wife. "Honey, there is a guy on the radio that you will swear is me or my twin brother.

Only after a brief absence before he went national, I have listened each day. Not because I agree with him. Because he agrees WITH ME.

What we need to do is gather as much information as we can on the companies that bailed on Rush and post that information on the internet in the form of reviews. Every negative experience that has been related to their products must be communicated in every business reporting forum possible. BBB, Review sites and general product discussion forums.

A Freeper the other day shared this information on Quicken Loans - apparently, they are a disasterous scam of a company and deserves to have every negative incident reported and records for all to see.

I know from personal experience that the sleep number beds are horrible and do not even come close to the comfort of a conventional spring mattress.

We can do this much legally to show our disgust with these shysters who fly by night at the first whine of a lefty. Let's see who actually drives this economy? When is the next time some DUher or OWS freak is going to shell out $1500 for a mattress or enroll and actually pay for a monthly service?

Time for the powers that be to speak their mind.

And I’m sure the guy from Sleep Train said something to the effect, “Hey, it’s just business! Nothing personal, Rush.”

Good post!

The left doesn’t want the apology of Rush..the goal is and always has been to get him off the air.

We all know the left aren’t offended by the word “slut”.
They use it all the time against the women on our side.

Rush almost single handedly launched and made Snapple a household name. When it was sold to the Quacker Oats the Cintonistas put the regulatory pressure on and Rush was given the bums rush.

Snapple sales shortly cratered. Something else will come along and Rush will recover. It just says something of the left that they would resort to economic blackmail to silence vocal opposition.

Rush could offer to have a CONDOM SUMMIT with The Fluke.

pro flowers also pulled out... so i emailed that i would no longer use their services and that they may consider delivering a few condoms with each arrangement... since they condone others paying for birth control.

If you were only a boy when Dale and Rush’s relationship started, how exactly did you became privy to all these insider details?

just wondering.
