The rest of the screed involves charges of racism and bigotry:

There are many, many more examples of these "Limbaughisms" through the years. Looking at these comments makes you wonder why it took so long for advertisers to wake up and smell the bigotry.

The writer then compares him to Don Imus and says he'll never be the same to end his liberal fantasy.

The liberals are rejoicing in the comments. Have a look at this typical liberal comment:

Sadly for the Republican party, Rush Limbaugh (like Hannity, O'Reilly, Palin, Beck, etc.) epitomizes how radical the Republican party has become. All share an 1800's mentality which shockingly, people are gullible enough to believe. Most GOP politicians are too spineless to challenge the extremist viewpoints of these people, thus their viewpoints are now mainstream in the GOP. And they wonder why they are becoming known as "the party of stupid"?

Dickey reported that Cumulus had lost millions of dollars in ad sales because many advertisers no longer want to be associated with Limbaugh.

The pinklisting of conservative thought in the media continues.

Only blacklisting of known communists is "bad". Funny that.

Sure Rush has a big audience and remains ahead of other talk radio hosts, but the advertisers who abandoned Rush appear to be on to something.

Lost ad sales does not falsify or negate objective truth.

Probably not. Most people who think conservatively have already heard Rush, and either like him or not. Those who are either liberals or low-information types who don’t read and research current events are not going to be persuaded even if they do listen to him. So no, Rush isn’t terribly relevant anymore. That’s not to say he should go away or that those who enjoy his commentary aren’t entitled to do so, but the question was “relevancy”.

Still relevant? Well it would seem that Osama Obama thinks he is.Otherwise,why would Osama mention Rush just about every day.Osama certainly doesn't mention *me* every day.Why,if I wasn't on his official “potential terrorist” list (as a military veteran) he wouldn't even know who I was.

If he were not “still relevant” the question would not be asked.

I'd like to see Limbaugh with an hour-long weekend show on FOX News. He could replace bottom-feeding Geraldo Rivera.

CNN can’t even get the facts right. CUME-Less is not the syndicator. EIB is distributed by Premiere Networks a division of Clear Channel.

Dickey is looking of his own programming alternative, for now it’s Rick Huckaby. CC will have no problem clearing Rush on one of their stations.

Is Dean Obeidallah a protege of Dr. Gosnell, the corporate murderer of CZAR B.O. and Planned Parenthood?

That seems to be his main concern for women's health!

Rush makes thousands of interesting and valid points throught the year, but I wish he were harder on the “Republican leadership”, which is an oxymoron.

Instead Limbaugh lashed out last week at young women again by asserting that the reason ad sales fell off was because: "The media buyers at advertising agencies are young women, fresh out of college-liberal feminists who hate conservatism." Not only is this comment sexist on its face, remarkably

Dean, ol' buddy, ol' pal, it also happens to be true.

If Rush is really irrelevant why does Obama claim that Rush is preventing him from accomplishing what he wants to?
