Hey folks .... we can’t stop the death threats Rush is now receiving, but we can fight back and help Rush out. I sent an e-mail to my local radio station yesterday to thank them for carrying the Rush show because I was certain they were coming under some pressure from the Left. The message I got back was:
“It hasn’t been easy. The opposition is very organized...but thanks.”
I guess I should not have been surprised …. but I was. This is a strong Rush market and I did not expect the station to be coming under such pressure.
If you are so inclined, PLEASE contact your local Rush radio station and let them know that you support them for carrying Rush. If you have state ‘ping’ lists, let them know this is going on. Enlist the aid of your friends and relatives living in the area …... whatever resources you have to get the message to these beleaguered radio stations, use them!
If you want some interesting if not ‘shocking’ reading on how organized these Leftists are, here’s an article worth reading (it’s a few pages long, please read it all):

Another good website is Brent Bozell’s who says he’s fighting back ... he just can’t stand by and do nothing:
Regardless of what you may or may not think of Rush, we CANNOT let the Left win this war and make no mistake, it is a WAR.
We are living in the times described by George Orwell when he said “In an era of universal deceit, the truth is a revolutionary act”. I say: To cower in silence is no longer an option. I know the power of FReepers when they get together and ACT – this is the time to DO something!!!
(PS – if I’ve pinged you more than once, sorry …. trying not to do that.)
He’s saying right now that these are lies that are much like polling results; they are lies meant to influence public opinion.
He’s right, they lie, socialists always lie.
Rush is calling B.S. on all of this as we speak.
2 sponsors are begging to come back ( bet it’s pro flowers & carbonite)
and he has 3 majors showing up in the next 2 weeks.!
I’m listening to him right now, and he says these numbers are a crock!
He says he’s got 3 new sponsors coming in, and a couple of sponsors that dropped him are begging to come back now!
I’d tell ‘em to “F OFF”! He’s not giving any names though.
I’m listening to Rush now, and he’s saying that’s not true. Most of these advertisers are not sponsors of his show, at least not nationally.
wouldn't trust them. Rush is addressing this now on radio. May have 18,000 sponsors When you add over 600 stations, it is intentionally being misrepresented. 2 want to come back, 3 new signed on..show is okay
Rush’s brilliance is not to be underestimated. This may be an engineered “path to retirement” that allows him to escape what would otherwise be inescapable contractual constraints.
Did you catch the first half hour of Rush’s program today?
The entire premise for this article is explained and refuted.
Rush said there are THREE NEW SPONSORS starting in the next two weeks, and two of those that bailed now want back... (aside: he should tell them to go to HELL)...
Not all advertiser were actively buying time, only made statements that they would not advertise. I called Netflix who said their ad was mistakenly run during Rush. They wanted to set the record straight. They did not buy the ad and wanted to let everyone know that.
Advised them if they wanted my business, then they needed to set the record straight with Media Matters and Politico, since they are presenting the facts as if Netflix decided cancel thier ad on Rush. He said, “They take no stance on the issue”. Ok, then why put out a statement???? That is a stance. Any why not correct the record? HE said they did not know about Media Matters list. bs
Since it took them 3 days to make thier first statement, I gave them three days to publicly demand that these misleading statements be removed from Politico, Media Matters, etc. If not, then I will assume that those are not misleading but represent actions Netflix would have taken had they purchased ad space, and I will cancel the service.
I’d like to thank Media Matters for compiling such a handy list of companies to boycott.
