Good luck, these clowns have been trying to get Rush off the air since 1991. I’m all for Soros wasting his time and money.

Look at Rush’s ratings and, most importantly, the amount of money he has made for his parent company for nearly 20 years. Now look at the ratings and how much money the competitor, Air America, has made. Their ratings were in the dumper from the beginning and they went bankrupt in less than 2 years. The business case is a slam-dunk.

Even if the president of Clear Channel took up a crack habit and ran Rush off, he’d be back with somebody else inside a week. This is much ado about nothing. Radio stations and their parent companies have had their switchboards lit up by angry anti-Rush people a week after Rush went on the air and it hasn’t let up. He survived the loss of his TV show in the early 90s, he survived being kicked off TV football commentary, and he survived a drug addiction scandal. Why would Clear Channel run him now?

Rush is Clear Channel’s cash cow and the reason AM radio is still alive.

Removing Rush from Clear Channel would hurt them immensely.
They would lose millions of viewers, which in return means money. If the are that stupid?
