This is awesome. The next time some flap hits Rush, his sponsors are going to think really hard before pulling their advertising to appease the Radical Left. Just look at the nose dive Carbonite took and now these clowns groveling to come back. I bet their bed sales are in the toilet now.

Rush is a cagey guy. It actually occurred to me that he might have provoked this on purpose to smoke out (and sift out) which of his sponsors are vulnerable to liberal pressure. Then, with his stable thus cleansed and his income stream immunized, he's even more free than before to say what he wants. Might be a long shot, but the thought crossed my mind.

Interesting... ;-)

I am just excited that some of these advertisers are gone. Being a listener since the late 80’s, some of these ads bore me to tears they have been around so long. Can’t wait to hear new stuff. I am sure there is a long line of folks that are dying to take their place with their products.

He was a little more blatant today. He called that Petri woman’s comments in WaPoo “bitchy” to elicit a response, which in turn would have proven she knew he called out her lies.

IOW, I think that is exactly what he did!

I was thinking of it the other way around... is it possible a bunch of leftist-run companies intentionally advertised on Rush’s show, just to wait for whatever firestorm would pop up next to pull out en masse and hopefully take the show down.

I wouldn’t put it past them.

I have no doubt that Rush made his remarks about Fluke intentionally. I doubt that his sponsers were part of the strategy. Note that O’Reilly is sniffing around trying to find out who’s behind Fluke. He thinks it’s the White House. Her claim about the price of contraceptives for students is being proven false. Is this another angle of attack in the vetting of Obama?

I don't think it's that far-fetched. He got lots of free publicity out of it, his sponsors will be back, and he's ditched the vulnerable ones.

Rush's show is geared for advertisers who don't necessarily care of the Left boycotts them, as long as the Right supports them.
