Rush screwed up big time...this may bring him down and he has no one to blame but himself.
Yea right.
Did you know Carbonite was advertising with Ed Schultz while he called Laura Ingraham a slut???
No Limbaugh did not screw up, Fluke did, and a lot.
Limbaugh was right and as far as I am concerned, am disappointed he apologized, no matter how weak the apology was.
BS, I will support him and so will sponsors if they are smart I will boycott those that quit.
All of a sudden the New York Times has time to talk about Rush Limbaugh.
Strategery
Just like Special Ed did at MSDNC!
Except he gets awards from your fellow travelers.
No it won't. He is talk radio's biggest star (actually I believe he is now the highest paid and highest rated radio star out there since Howard Stern moved to Satellite). Also, Clear Channel just re-signed him last year to a 5 year contract that runs through 2016 and is rumored to be worth $1 Billion (yes with a B). They are simply not going to buy out his contract or take his show of the air and keep paying him that kind of money (and I can guarantee with Rush's staff of lawyers, that contract is airtight). Clear Channel will take the advertiser hit for a couple month, probably advise Rush to play it cool, maybe take a vacation or two. Then by mid-summer everything will be back to normal.
You want to talk about civilized? Civilized is forgiving someone when they make a mistake and apologize. That’s just as uncivil as the mistake in the first place, but I don’t expect civility from the left. They are essentially evil people who will use any approach to advance their agenda. Winning, for them, is everything. Honor, civility, truth, etc. means absolutely nothing to the left. They are essentially human scum who appeal to the most base motives of humans: greed, hatred, envy, class and racial divisions, etc.
a law school student whom he had called a “slut” and a “prostitute,”
Someone correct me if I am wrong but Rush didn’t exactly say she was a slut or a prostitute. He inferred that you would call SOMEONE who expects others to pay for their contraceptives? You call them a slut.
Rush screwed up big time...this may bring him down and he has no one to blame but himself.
I don’t think so. So a few advertiser will pull out (no pun intended) I would guess the advertiser who do pull out (no pun intended) will suffer more than Mr Limbaugh.
Anyhow, the left with the full force of the media ( Propaganda arm of the Demonrat Party), once again, is making this much larger (no pun intended) than it actually is. What a surprize.
Not only is Mzzz Fluke slut-like (probably a dyke) the word that she is a plant is spreading like a STD (pun intended)
Go Rush!
Go Team!
Are you suffering from too much agent orange sniffing?
Rush made a mistake... by apologizing to that professional demonRAT plant whore.
Other than that, screw the sponsors that cancelled on Rush, that will hurt them, not him.
I just called Pro-Flowers and ordered 10 dozen red roses and after the clerk on the phone was all bubbly and gooey, I axed if this was the company that just cancelled Rush, and she said yes, and I said, well then cancel this order.
So, no, I don't believe Dave is terribly concerned for his daughter's personal reputation ~ he's taken care of that already ~ she was but a minor when she crashed her old worn out disk drive and lost her term paper.
I've never much respect people who use their babies commercially, really, never!
The only “screw up” he made was to apologize. This woman is an abortion activist and trying to depict her as a poor law student is a fraud. Today’s Rush show will probably be one of the highest rated shows he has ever has and I will bet he will replace those sponsors twice over.
Uh, right...there is a line of people waiting to advertise. This is the first time these bogus efforts worked on Rush. We’ll see if it has any meaningful impact.
The NYT, etal are loving this so Limbaugh didn’t screw up, he was dead on. Another example of the huge double standard that exists which Conservatives must deal with. Schultz and Maher call Conservative women c—— and sluts, and it’s okay. Limbaugh tells it like it is, and it’s not okay. There’s something wrong with this picture.
Re: your decision to enter politics regarding the Limbaugh advertising. You have surrendered to people who are not your customers. Now you are about to reap the rewards from those of us who are through with your affiliated companies. You will receive no more orders.
The occupy folks are out of work. They are unlikely to be customers anytime soon.
You deserve a huge flaming. Methinks you’ll get one.
I just fled Pro Flowers by unsubscribing.
I wish Rush would consider his own media company, like Beck and Breitbart. As long as you’re an employee of somebody else they dictate what you can say. And that includes if you have to count on Clear Channel - or whoever - to exclusively distribute your product.
They could buy some ads cheap, and Rush ought to sell some ads quick to competitors of his "censors"--heck, give 'em away!!
I'm afraid, folks, a direct boycott won't work. It just generally does not. The only hope is to make his advertisors feel the pain of seeing their ads go for cut rates to their competitors.
