The leftists are going after a ton of radio stations now. You can follow what they’re attacking next on Twitter on the “#BoycottRush” tag (and I believe there’s a Facebook page).
They just keep hammering one advertiser, etc. until they cave, and then they move on to the next one. It’s all AstroTurf- the real numbers aren’t there...
It would be a good time to contact your local affiliate and say some words of support for him to counter this, and to post good words on Facebook pages of his sponsors as well, IMHO.
Good Idea.

Twitter. They’re saying to leave him messages. (this is the owner of Clear Channel, John Hogan).
I left him a message alright! :)
Don't worry. Try reading this (shameless plug):
(Vanity) Strength in Numbers: The REAL meaning of the Limbaugh Flap
Cheers!
Rally for Rush (Carbonite CEO tied to MoveOn.org: time for conservatives to fight blacklisting?)
...and if you think this is just some random compliants, it is Astroturfing by a tax-exempt 501c3.
Attack by Limbaugh Awakens a ‘Stop Rush’ Campaign
This is flatout being organized by the organizers for the regime of 0bama. Media Matters for America is a Web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media...Media Matters works daily to notify activists, journalists, pundits, and the general public about instances of misinformation, providing them with the resources to rebut false claims and to take direct action against offending media institutions.
Why is this organization tax-exempt? What elevates their efforts to tax-exempt status verses say GBTV? Because they claim to be a media watchdog group? Well what the heck does that mean? They blatantly state they are 'progressive' and watchdog group is nothing more than brownshirts for the regime.
Rush has been a target from before 0bama got in office. There is a lot it seems that Rush did in having certain companies as sponsors that was counter productive and even counter intuitive. Yesterday, he said he knew the leanings of these companies and he chose to do business with them anyway. He admitted it on air in the first hour and all this while attempting to placate his audience with the I didn't sponsor GM rhetoric.
The tactics of the progressive left here are predictable and clear. What Rush knowingly did in using the word slut and with his national sponsors is not. With sponsors clamoring to get access to Rush airtime...Rush made other choices. Choices that led his loyal listeners to spend their money with the likes of David Friend and MoveOn.org.
What Rush admitted yesterday amid the mists of "listener loyalty means everything," really should raise significant questions about his conservative integrity. He sounded to me yesterday like the abusive husband presenting the abused wife with a dozen red roses.
I am more and more conflicted about Rush. His opening monologue did not help at all. Quite frankly I could have cared less that he called a woman a slut. That is exactly what her faux testimony sounded like and every woman at Georgetown should have been offended by her testimony. Every Catholic woman at that school should have launched an immediate campaign that Fluke doesn't speak for them.
But this mess has revealed a very soft underbelly of Rush. One from a business logistic point that makes no sense to me.
