Actually, they are remobilizing. A Twitter account, Stop Rush, which has been dormant since late 2010, woke up on Wednesday, when Mr. Limbaugh first called the student, Sandra Fluke, a slut.
On Friday, as complaints from Stop Rush and others about Mr. Limbaughs comments mounted, a handful of companies said that they had halted their advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Show, at least temporarily.
One of the companies, Quicken Loans, wrote on Twitter, Due to continued inflammatory comments along with valuable feedback from clients and team members QL has suspended ads on Rush Limbaugh program.
Two mattress companies, Sleep Train and Sleep Number, made similar statements on Friday. A representative of Sleep Number wrote on Twitter, Recent comments by Rush Limbaugh do not align w/ our values, so we made decision to immediately suspend all advertising on that program.
Mr. Limbaughs comments on Wednesday about Ms. Fluke, who had testified in support of the Obama administrations requirement that health insurance plans cover contraceptives for women, were immediately noticed by Media Matters, a liberal media monitoring group that has been raising red flags about Mr. Limbaughs language for years.

“Im worried that this may be the beginning of the end for Rush.”
I believe he’s survived worse. Would hate to think that a lesbian feminazi would do him in.
That is a doctored photo. He is not that fat. Why can’t your argument stand on it’s strengths, without resorting to this sort of misinformation?
The problem with RUSH’s apology is that it deflates his entire argument over the last week. The standing up. The pushing back. The not backing down.
In the end he was forced to apologize by the same “slut” he called absurd.
His apology is absurd ( I know it’s business ) but I always thought RUSH was bigger than that

Wanna fight back. Renew your subscription the the ‘Linbaugh Letter’ and buy one for a friend.
The left wants Rush gone.
And since conservatives never fight back, they might get their wish.
Don’t underestimate Rush Limbaugh.
The most disturbing fact about this whole thing is how many FReepers are so quick to throw him under the bus.
Didn't you hear? Knee-jerk BS is the proper way to respond to all situations on FR these days. Analysis is for old fogies.
It is well past time to change that!

It is consensus by another name. It is cool to post that which agrees. It costs no effort or thought. It is feel good
When will these people start getting violent? Obviously, they learned their tactics from the Islamists.
Just changing my tagline cause the Thomas Jefferson quote: “To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” — Thomas Jefferson didn’t fit.
Both of you got me thinking about back-up, too.

The problem goes deeper than that...where does the media get their marxist ideology? Who trained them?
Public schools...it starts in elementary school, and continues right through college. Strike the root.
RT @StopRush: I think this attempt at damage control labelled as an apology actually makes things worse. Retweeted by Angelo Carusone
Which if Rush is reading this thread I hope he is realizing he and his sponsors got propagandized!
Brian looks like a fat, sassy Lesbian.
Rush knows better. Apologizing, in any way, is just putting blood in the water for the liberal sharks. He’ll attack in a different direction starting tomorrow.
BOOM
Rush did not step in it. Rush exposed their lies and did it in an entertaining way. The left is making this all about Rush but the public has now learned the Fluke is a Fraud and a Flake and the Left set this up to help the Red Diaper Commie Muslim Illegal Allien in the White Hut get women’s votes. Don’t forget how that the Saul Alinsky tactice of presenting a false anecodate to advane a cause has failed and failed miserably.
