I guess if they were aiding the North Vietnamese anti-aircraft batteries or helping people to wrongly accuse others of hate crimes (Al Sharpton) it would be just fine.

I don't agree with a lot of Rush's methods. The fact is, if Rush suddenly changed his format to promote satan worship, sex with primates, or buying machetes for muslims, none of these people would utter a word.

No one held a gun to Rush's head and made him call the young woman a slut. We have freedom of speech but it is not without consequences. Rush is paying the price for his comments just like a lot of talk show host have in the past. And for the record I could care less if Rush is on the radio or not.

[jkjsooner]

Gotta say, when I saw a headline about this my first thought was how unfortunate it is for the Democrats. I don't think many of them want Fonda jumping on this issue. That just takes attention away from how Limbaugh made an arse of himself and to how Fonda made an arse out of herself.

Hmm.. A for-profit radio company is protecting its profits?

--some of y'all worship at the altar of free markets until they don't agree with you. Rush doesn't have the right to be employed in a syndicated radio program, he earns that right. When he develops a sever case of diarrhea of the mouth, he's going to get to suffer the consequences.

And as far as Steinem, et al, I mean is anyone really surprised? Of course the liberal talking heads will be on the attack. Premiere doesn't care what Sharpton has to say. It cares about advertisers. And advertisers don't care about what Jesse Jackson has to say,they care that the consumers find one of their products so vile that being associated with Limbaugh hurts their bottom line rather than helping it, or at least that there are better advertising opportunities out there.

They really don't have to do anything but replay Limbaugh's own words. I mean hey.. at least the left is attacking with something which actually happened rather than the righty birther nonsense or somesuch.

[OhU1]

Don Imus got run off for a lot less, the "nappy headed hoes" comment. (which I thought was hilarious).

We get a lot of trumped up indignant self righteous hurt feelings whenever someone's political toe gets stepped on. Nobody is actually upset by any of these "hurtful" comments. If they are, so what? Boycott his show and let the market decide. I suspect Rush will do just fine. There are plenty of people that need to be told what to think.

[Midtowner]

Boycott his show and let the market decide.

That's not the only way this works. Limbaugh can still have the #1 show in terms of ratings and be cancelled so long as advertisers believe that being associated with Limbaugh does them more harm than good. And the left is attacking a huge weakness of the Republican Party. The Republicans have numerous talk show hosts which are unofficial and uncontrollable spokesmen for the Party. Hannity is great for the Party as he sticks to talking points like no one else. Limbaugh's ego is just so massive that he goes way way off the reservation from time to time.

This time, it's going to probably cost him quite a bit.

[TUSooner]

You make your bed and then you have to sleep in it...

Rush, like most of us (though we don't have such a huge pulpit), will push the boundary as far as we can...

Rush has been tip toeing across the line, getting away with it, and then pushing the line a little further for over a decade..

He has finally pushed to the point that he now looks foolish...actually, beyond foolish...

Fluke wanted to make it mandatory insurance coverage for contraception, making the University or the taxpayers pay for her sex. Limbaugh called her a slut , getting paid to have sex, and then said if that happens, she should put her sex tapes on youtube, so the public could see what they are getting for their money. I don't find that over the line. It IS, however, HILARIOUS.

And Georgetown covers such B/C when necessary, she said so in her testimony. Besides, she is a student at Georgetown, not an employee... As far as I know Obamacare doesn't force college to pay for birth control.. Which makes her so called testimony a waste of time.

It is funny because it is meant to be funny. Read the article from Jane and Gloria.. I assure you there is no humor there.. At least intentional humor.

Here is what everyone is missing. The Dem dog and pony show happens all the time on Capital Hill. The Republicans do it as well as anyone. This was nothing but an obscure testimony by an unknown woman, worthy of a few minutes on the nightly news....if that. Along comes loudmouth Limbaugh who thinks he has the Democrats dead to rights and the he makes a total *** of himself and a political martyr out of Fluke. Had he kept mouth shut the issue would have disappeared. Now Rush has every woman in the world on his *** and that is a bad place to be in. One can almost sympathize with that tub of lard.

Assuming ad arguendo that "Leftist operatives" (who that would be I have no idea) are calling these advertisers, these advertisers are typically pretty sophisticated businesses who know the difference between politically motivated BS calls and real public sentiment and how it affects their bottom line.

Their bottom line is that being associated with Limbaugh after his comments does more harm for their public image than good. That's their assessment and the advertisers are the folks who stand to make or lose money based on the public persona they project. This might be a ploy to get stations and EIB to come down on their ad rates during the Limbaugh program or it might really be based on the fact that they really think their advertising dollars can be spent places where they will 100% bring in new customers and not sully their image instead of places where there's even a small risk. I'll bet other right wing talk shows are picking up lots of business right now.

Gotta love that free market capitalism!

Yes. Companies have images to maintain and they are not interested in having a talk show host calling a woman a slut because she wants birth control pills as part of her health insurance coverage. I find it absolutely amazing that you think it was perfectly okay for Rush to call her a slut and that he asked that she post her videos on youtube.

And just to cover your sense of false outrage lefty talk show host Ed Shultz called Laura Ingraham a right wing slut and he damn near lost his TV show and Radio show. If you called a woman a slut at work I am pretty sure your company would fire you on the spot. Rush crossed a line that has been drawn in the sand by society and he is paying the price.

The left did not bring this on Rush. His fat mouth caused this problem and no one other than Rush is responsible for his problems. Apparently when it comes to personal accountability Rush wants to take a pass. His giant ego will not allow him to make an appropriate apology so he is going to wallow in his own sh*t. We will see how it works out for him. My guess is he is rich enough that at some point he will say f*** it and quit or buy his own satellite station and get even richer.

They were talking about Rush and his sponsors on NPR the other day.


SIEGEL: Do you have any sense, any gut sense, of whether the abandonment of the show by whatever number of advertisers it may be, is something that's really putting a dent in the fortunes of Rush Limbaugh's enterprise?

HARRISON: I think that he will survive, based upon whether or not listeners abandon him, and there's no sign of that. If anything, certainly this week, his audience is much larger than it was last week because of all the attention he's getting. Plus, his audience likes him.

And then there are many people who listen to him because they just love to hate him. So there's no sign that his audience is eroding. If anything, it might grow, and that is the basis upon which his financial future is determined.

I'm dubious as to where you actually "heard" that number.

There may be 18000 local advertisers but they are not Rush advertisers. They are that stations. Rush has a handful of actual advertisers. His tea being one of them.

There isn't enough air time for 98 advertisers on Rush's show.

Still the point is (as you attempt to obfuscate) Rush is more than fine and will continue to make his millions by filling a niche that the public (20 million strong) wants.

Some of those advertisers that dropped him, maybe, maybe not.

This is precisely what's wrong with the RW ignorance machine: It preaches that you must ignore every voice except your masters' and every voice that does not say what your masters approve of (because they are "liberal" and thus evil). That means you get to automatically reject everything you disagree with. Very convenient.If you really believe what you said there, it might be hopeless for you.

i wish i could read good like you guys

[diverdog]

Man, that's some kind of hysterical stretch there TU. You seem to really believe that conservatives are incapable of their own thought processes.

We can, just like you. I don't need rush to tell me how biased the msm is. It doesn't take a genius to know people like George stephanopolis are not going to shoot straight on political coverage.

Its easy to watch the difference in how Bush was questioned by the media vs Dear Leader. Doesn't take a rocket scientist or a Rush robot to tell the difference.

Are you talking about the media that is owned by some of the largest corporations in America which includes GE, Fox News and Clear Channel Radio? Do you really think any of those companies actually represent the left?

As to TUSooners point you just proved him right.

[LiveLaughLove]

GE is very much in Obama's pocket, and the owners don't call the shots on content. For every one even remotely conservative reporter in the msm, I can name ten liberal ones. Reporters as a group voted around 70-80% Democrat. They do every election, its no secret.

As for TUs point, I would say the brain dead mindless following is on the left and people such as yourself. Now where does that get us.

You couldn't fill a thimble with the amount of talk radio I've listened to in the last month. I guess he just mind melds with me, huh.

Well, you do sorta prove my point by writing off the "msm" out of hand, as if Democratic journalists cannot tell the truth. Anyway, you seem pretty well cemented in; what's to learn if you know it all already? At least I hope you know better than write off me, or others who criticize the radical right, as mindless followers of the left. I am skeptical of everything in the media, especially those who think they have all the answers, left or right. I'd rather admit not knowing something than be deadly certain of what's not so. Don't be another I AM RUSH's Parrot who thinks everybody who calls BS at the righty radicals must be a leftist. I would love to defend the Republicans, from a conservative point of view, but they have gone off the rails, and what passes for conservatism these days used to be called right wing lunacy -- by conservatives. And the Pubs are cynically stoking the fires of ignorance, so they are pretty indefensible right now. Plus, the radical righties are the biggest, smuggest, got-it-all-figured-out howlers around here, so they are the easiest targets.

Immelt works for Obama. Most big corporations give contributions to both sides and I'm sure you know that. That way they are covered regardless of who wins.

GE owns NBC News, stop me when you see the conservative. Tom Brokaw? Hardly. Brian Williams? Go watch his questions to Bush when he was president vs the soft balls he lobs Obama's way. " Mr. President, how do you keep your composure while being attacked by the Republicans?"

Andrea Mitchell? Chuck Todd? Ann curry? Martin bashir? David Gregory?

Ill give you one moderate Republican out of about 35 reporters, Pete Williams.

I haven't even named any of the wackos on MSNBC.

Out of all of those chuck Todd is the most fair, but that's about a 70/30 split.

If you think the msm is even handed in its reportage then...well, you don't know even handed.

[yermom]

Well, the coverage is going to look slanted when your party is chock full of *******s ;)

Why do you leave Fox, Clear Channel and Murdock out of the mix?

.

To many Buckley is a pinky and was a vocal advocate of growing the size and scope of the government to advance his policy goals. I would say he had nary a "conservative" bone in his body.

Andrea Michell, the one married to Greenspan, a real radical I'm sure.

Gosh. You can't even exaggerate or make caricatures around here, because nothing is too absurd to be true.

It is not absurd, you are aware of Buckely's statist tendencies and a few paleo critiques aren't you?
