Rush: Sponsors 'practically begging to come back'

PALM BEACH, Fla. – After national controversy over his calling a Georgetown University law student a “slut” and “prostitute,” radio giant Rush Limbaugh says he has brand-new sponsors lined up to advertise on his program, and some who had canceled are now asking to return.

“We have three brand-new sponsors that will be starting in the next two weeks,” Limbaugh said this afternoon, adding he was not going to identify them today.

Two of the sponsors who have canceled have asked to return. We are being very careful about that. I’m not gonna give you any names here. One of them is practically begging to come back.”

There have been reports among some news agencies that at least 40 advertisers have abandoned Limbaugh’s top-rated program since the furor involving Sandra Fluke’s push for insurance-covered birth control erupted last week, but Limbaugh said those news outlets are not being honest.

“Because they lie, and because they don’t understand how it works,” he said. “Everything is fine on the business side. Everything is cool. There is not a thing to worry about. Whatever you’re seeing on television about this program and sponsors and advertisers is just incorrect.”

Looks like the sponsors bit off their noses to spite their faces. On a side note, in a recent article of Hot Rod, they say a good rule of thumb when it comes to tuning a street rod engine is to treat it as the ideal sponsor: you want it to run rich and retarded :p

When he said that today, I could actually hear heads exploding! LOL TAKE THAT YOU MAGGOTS!

Sorry...got carried away for a second.

Either Rush has a powerful market or he doesn’t. The real problem the left has is that the people who really contribute to our economy are Rush supporters in very significant numbers. Leftist emotions and this utter nonsense over Fluke are about as valuable as farts in church. The key is to stay focused and keep the pressure on the left. This farce over Fluke will dissipate quick as a fart in the open air provided that the conservatives don’t allow the distraction to get us off what really matters.

The problem is not calling this Georgetown, Jesuit school sex machine out for what she publicly admitted she is. The real problem is playing into the left’s hands over this farce. Newt had it right with David Gregory on MTP on Sunday, and Rush has it right today. This nonsense will pass very soon. Stay focused! Smart people will not fall for this crap.

Since this a Rush thread, here is an earlier post I made on another thread.

Mr. Ed Theme:
A slut is a slut of course of course

But no one can call one a slut of course

That is of course unless the slut

Is the famous Sandra Fluke

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Go right to the source and ask the slut

If you have to pay her to sit on her but

And she will say, of course you must

Cause she’s the famous Sandra Fluke

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Limbaugh yakity yaks away and loses Carbonite

Letting us know what the sluts won’t give up

Because they think it’s their Civil Right

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A slut is a slut of course of course

But no one can call one a slut of course

That is of course unless the slut

Is the famous Sandra Fluke

If there is ever another Battlestar Galactica, I'll bet they'll change the cuss word “frak” to “fluke”.

Looks like the sponsors bit off their noses to spite their faces.

Looks like he is doing no less. HE SCREWED UP! He made personal comments about a person when he should have simply debated the issue. He could have even asked why an unmarried college student wants government to pay for her birth control etc. As a result of doing otherwise the liberal media has had a field day. It was a dumb thing which he did.

Do I feel sorry for Rush? No! Maybe if he checked his ego at the door before going on air he wouldn't have gotten into this mess too start with. Crowing about sponsorship sounds like he didn't learn a darn thing. He was as wrong as Ed Schultz, Don Imus, and a few other radio and TV host doing same. To rely on any of them for one's political guidance or information is insane.

I wonder how much his audience grew over this? Now ad time is worth even more! lol

Nothing says lovin

“Fluke Carbonite..”

We called Carbonite on saturday morn and switched to Mozy on Saturday afternoon.

Carbonite actually called us on Tuesday morning to speak with the president and it was some management schmuck from Carbonite. We simply asked the guy why his president tried to make a drama of the Rush bit, and he couldn’t give us an answer. Later told him unless the president talks to him, we won’t switch back.

They want our money. We hold marketing agreements for a couple of Hollywood studios and they want our business.

Carbonite: Fails to backup critical content -- reliability questioned!!!

Oh please.

The reason you can’t call a slut a slut is because it has become normal in our new culture.

The majority of young women are now sluts.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Raise their advertising bills.

SLUTS!

Normally I find myself agreeing with you, but not this time.

He called a spade a spade. Listen to Fluke’s testimony, then you decide what she is (besides a demonstrable fraud, that is). Then....listen to what Maher, Schultz, et al said about Ingraham, Palin, etc.....and then you tell me the difference.

One proved herself to be a slut with her own words. The others were simply attacked for being Conservative women. HUGE difference. Rush called it as it is.

[hosepipe]

thats a good report...

[ChiMark]

Please, booby! stop being a wimp. I guess you’ll jump ship when the going gets rough. Adios!

bout time someone called Fluke for the absurd slut she is.

Then play her own words On Air. Play them every day for a month. All he accomplished was legitimizing the others attacks IN THE EYES OF THE LIBERALS is the point being missed. He lowered his show to their standards and now this will be the accepted standard.

The testimony was BAIT pure and simple. It was taken hook, line, and sinker. Calling the testimony repulsive, disgusting, trashy, etc would refer too what was said. Had he stayed in that area? No problem. The Liberals would have been very frustrated too say the least. They were looking for the response they got.

I'm not questioning his right to free speech in the least. Sure he can say anything he wants. Saying some things just simply is not smart even if it is the truth. If we all said to persons what we think or really felt {especially ones making us mad or we disagree with} most of us would be walking around with missing teeth.

Just a tad too long for a bumper sticker, but clever nevertheless!

Kudos!
