I have heard Bose Radio advertised in Rush's voice.

What gives?

hehehe Rear Echelon M F...haven't heard or thought about that phrase in decades...LOL

Are ALL of these sponsors pulling their ads? If so, what idiots.

Agree with Paul -- don't rush into anything until Rush gets back.

Would believe there are advertisers lined up that would love to have 20 million folks hear their advertisements for what I would consider would be a cheap rate compared to TV.

As for Bose, his voice is on their ads on this show. He explained one time that ads go in cycles as advertisers buy time for so many months and then another advertiser comes in.

No way this campaign could have caused sponsors to cancel in such a short time and not made headline news across the Country. My take would be this is a normal change of sponsors and CBS is taking it as people dropping Rush!

My two cents!

I sent an E-mail to CBS radio (NPR lite)...nothing will
happen...Lib. can't read, only emote :)

No all these advertisers are not pulling their ads. We need facts from Rush not some CBS article!

You have to read this article carefully. It says that Stinson is a "Vietnam-era veteran". Translation - he was in the service, but not in Vietnam. Anyway, I have come to realize that no matter how compelling or obvious the evidence for war, there are always those who won't get it, for various reasons. Just let them rattle on, proving their idiocy with every word they speak. I kind of think of them as gnats buzzing around one's head. You wave them off, but don't waste any energy being upset by them.

Contact the advertisers and tell them you are Rush Limbaugh fans. Also tell them they are being targeted by a small group of anti-American pro-terrorist LW wackos. Include links to the loons rants and show how vulgar and obsceen they really are.

I got at least one advertiser to change their mind after seeing all the bizarre hate mail they had received. They called me and said they will keep advertising on Rush as a result of my letter.

I have had several positive responses from other advertisers as well.

One LW loon even advocated targeting his own 1-800 customer service company that represents a Rush advertiser, asking people to call and burn through 800 time repeatedly. The same group was discussing ordering products and then returning them to run up charges.

This dingaling from the 800 company left his real name under his profile and his hometown. His company was happy to have this information.

Good letter, it helps to provide links to the LW kooks who are involved with this campaign. When the company reps go to check out the LW rants they barf.

Kicked off last week on the website of a group called Take Back The Media...

There you have it, blatant admission the liberals used to control the media. Not happy with the 90% of it they now control, they wage a campaign to "get it back."

Do they take themselves seriously. They must sit around and talk this garbage amoung themselves until they all walk out of the room believing it.

Spineless Weenies.?? I thought they were "Scrappy Liberals " Oh well, bout the same I suppose.

I know I posted that down thread last night. Found the link at the rat hole where this scam is from!

I tend to agree, but I company rep called me to thank me for shedding some light on the source of this harassment. They were in fact considering dropping Rush advertising, but as a result of seeing the filth associated with this harassment, they said no way. I have had similar thanks from other companies showing them examples of what's behind this.

Funny they waited till he was away for 2 weeks!

[PhiKapMom]

That's great news! Doesn't hurt to give the sponsors a boost! Bet there are a lot more of us than them!

[TLBSHOW]

Send em to Pitts rants and that does the trick!

The Onkyo Surrond Sound receiver is better and cheaper than the Bose anyway.
