...demographics were so good that it attracted business from sectors that don't sell to religious nuts anyway...

Religious nuts. Nice turn of phrase, eh? Let's see if that gets recycled the next time some Islamic types are moaning about something:

"Demographics were so good that it attracted business from sectors that don't sell to Islamic religious nuts anyway - Budweiser, Hooters, Jimmy Dean pork sausage, and Spam."

I won't hold my breath.

I saw Rush today at the Bob Hope Desert Classic golf tourney. He has a fairly decent swing, but had a bit of trouble around the greens. Beautiful day ....80 degrees.

He'll have time to arrange his thoughts this week for a full assault on these anti-Americans next Monday.

It initially scared off some marketers but the program's ratings and demographics were so good that it attracted business from sectors that don't sell to religious nuts anyway -- including movies, beer, cosmetics, designer clothing, etc.

Fallacious statement. This is one made-up, well-dressed religious nut who consumes more than her fair share of Honey Brown.

Wow.... isn't this "boycott" the best example of the Dems utter hypocracy?? Yep... First Amendment Fanatics... they will "fight to the death" for the right for all Americans to express political opinions, EXCEPT when that opinion happens to disagree with theirs. Then they will fight like crazy to bankrupt you LOL I wonder if the ACLU would help Rush out here?? ;-)

ACLU = supports and help legalize computer generated child porn as "protected speech"

The "Christian" right's attack on "NYPD Blue" in the early 1990s, on the other hand, was a complete failure. It initially scared off some marketers but the program's ratings and demographics were so good that it attracted business from sectors that don't sell to religious nuts anyway -

Mixed signal here...if demographics and ratings are good for the goose why aren't they good for the Rush Limbaugh show???

I don't hear all those advertisers here in this small market but Rush gets a piece of the action, if he doesn't generate a sale through a special phone line or web site he does't get paid. That is not true on all ads but many.

The really ironic part of the story is RUSH is carried locally on a cBS station and I have to listen to their 5 minutes of hate on the hour.

I have advertised on the RUSH show since it came to Eureka in 88 or 89. I even sponsored his 2 RUSH TO EXCELLENCE TOURS here. We got to have a private reception with him both times.

Do their numbers include the advertising genius who, as an exec at Quaker Oats, after Quaker acquired Snapple, dropped the Limbaugh show and caused Snapple sales to go through the floor?

The link to the story at CBS MarketWatch is dead. I did a search of the site for "Limbaugh" articles and came back with nothing. I did find Mr. Spain on their list of reporters, though.

"He just went too far," said Stinson. "Don't call me anti-American.

You're anti-American.

I served this country."

So did General Benedict Arnold, Jonathan Pollard, and John Walker Jr. Previously honorable service doesn't mean a thing once you've stabbed your country in the back.

Pfizer (PFE: news, chart, profile)

Pfizer sez: " "Go ahead and boycott us. You can die painful deaths of horrible diseases. You can forgo having sex if you're impotent. You can give up all sorts of other lifestyle-enhancing drugs. Go ahead. We don't mind, we'd rather you died, because 'progressives' are trying to strangle our corporation."

Okay, Pfizer didn't really say that. But I bet that's how the company feels.

THANKS! If you are so inclined, please try to post any article that details when a company actually does pull the plug because of his views (rather than the apolitical reasons offered by RadioShack). I would look forward to boycotting the company so foolish as to pick a fight with real Americans!!!!! Heck, maybe Rush could boycott back, with power -- 15MM strong.

If these companies want to be scared by a bunch of PUSSY anti-war nuts, their bottom lines are going to take some serious hits!

I'm guessing that a number of these products are things the complaining sociocraps DON'T EVEN BUY!!! It's like the bastards that picket pro sports teams over their nicknames & they've never bought a ticket or attended a game in their lives.

Amazing. Simply amazing. Funny how the Left keeps screaming how they champion "diversity" and "freedom of speech," and then they go out of their way to stifle diversity and free speech that they don't like.

And they wonder why people like us call them what they are: ANTI-AMERICAN.

Unbiased reporting at CBS?

Although he has interludes of lucidity,most of Limbaugh's chatter is so banal I turned him off several years ago.Re his "sponsors" there are so many of them,too many commercials---it just adds to the waste of time.

The guy very seldom gives new or significant info to anyone who reads newspapers or the internet.

"....Stinson and his cohorts were content to largely ignore the king of reactionary talk radio..."

They dared call Rush a reactionist? Hm.... Who is scared of gasoline? Who is scared of SUVs? Who is scared of chainsaws? Who is scared of nuclear power? Who is scared of a modern military? Who opposes missile defense? Who is scared of billionaires? Who is scared of draining swamps? Who opposes modernization of 'native' Americans [indians]? Who is scared of modern agriculture? Who is saying we should go back to the Middle Ages, dunging the farms? Who is opposed to maintaining modern roads? Who wants us to defend our homes with knives, clubs, and/or begging? Who is scared of toilets that work? Who thinks that the internet is a danger to political thought? Who wants 'Mother Nature' to take over the land? If anyone is a reactionist, its the goofy left. Oh wait, they call themselves 'progressives'. Why? Ah. They are opposed to the Death Penalty and spanking. That makes them cutting edge. They actually think that removing gun rights is 'cutting edge', but disarming the masses is as ancient as China.

So did Benedict Arnold.
