Rush Limbaugh admits StopRush is Kicking His Ass

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/04/24/1204320/-Rush-Limbaugh-Admits-StopRush-is-Kicking-His-Ass

##snip##


"When you look at a ... show that is by far number 1, and they're still running penile enhancement ads, what's happening is that mainstream media buyers are sending money elsewhere, trying to harm them. Well, penile, take your pick,the Ronco Veg-o-matic, you know--while McDonald's and Coke and Meineke are everywhere else.

"These are things we had to overcome on this pro--we have to fight that battle every day here anyway. Cause these little sniveling jerks are out there trying to scare advertisers, still goes on."

As usual, Limbaugh has some of his facts confused. The "little sniveling jerks" he refers to would be the StopRush movement, groups like the Flush Rush Facebook community.

But these groups aren't "trying to scare advertisers," they're simply contacting advertisers and quoting Rush Limbaugh verbatim to be sure the sponsor is aware of what they're being associated with.

Many of them aren't aware, and they often choose to pull their ads off the show.


2638 have requested their ads not air on the Rush Limbaugh Show as of today."

that huge news is happening throughout the world at this very moment, the slow, inevitable demise of a talk show hater is something to be anticipated and savored. Our country will be the better for it.

Or more seriously, we should consider that whatever toll it's taking isn't as big a threat as he lets on. He's made a career out of straw men and bogeymen, and whatever happens to his show, he's in no danger of being less than fabulously wealthy.

The liberal left has always been out to get him and everything he stands for, after all. Chicken Little is no longer able to persuade me of anything.

Oh, General Clapper: Please, can you forward this to Mr. Limbaugh?

Hi, Rush! Is it true Rupert Murdoch's denying you access? Oh. What's this world coming to?

I remember reading the original KOS report back in April. Has there been any new whines from Rushbo? Boycotts do work and right now Clear Channel is hurting financially due to Rushbo's stupidity.
