he will
his listeners are not offended
they will line up as always to hear him
the advertisers will return because they cannot ignore all those ears tuned in
as much as you or i want him gone he operates in a closed environment and he is insulated by it
there may be a month of ads being pulled
stations where he has not been as well received as expected will drop him
but in the end he will survive again

(4,762 posts)he is wounded. Some advertisers will return but others will not. Before this even happened there was a Harris poll showing rather astonishing nationwide disapproval ratings for him. Rush crossed the line last week and he will pay and I am very happy.

(3,426 posts)Have you forgotten those cross hairs- and all the ignorant ones spread out across the nation ? This is the grand old shoot out at the fantasy factory . Thing of it is Rush already wrote his own obituary.That means his end is near.He gave all those ignorant ones a chance to wallow in their ignorance and than went on to slam them all and the entire GOP.
Which means, the gig is up.

(3,426 posts)we viewed the Outer Limits .
Now we have- Out in the end zones in the shocking outer limits starring Rush Limbaugh. He's way out there and has no choice but to go on and on deep into the obyss well past the point of no return.
His coat tails are long and where he ends up,they all end up in the very same place. The place where pin heads both begin and end. It's pin headed destiny and an advertising nightmare.
Rush is in the flesh haunting all of those that fallowed suit.
Listen to the shock jocks who are losing sleep over it.
Did Rush run them all into the grand old ice berg causing the ship to slowely sink ?
And if it does will the GOP raise it in time for the 2016 elections ? Stay tuned because the rush to raise the sunken GOP luxury linner will indeed go on and on and so on !
Of this I assure you ,The Shadow Knows!

(42,763 posts)IMO the revenue he received from them was just "extra". I tend to think he gets most of his
financial backing from the RNC and from candidates who are eager to pay for his endorsement.
I've never heard of some of the advertisers who claim to have dropped him and some of the
others that I have heard of don't seem like they would all be able to combine and equal his
$400 Million contract. The bulk of it has to come from somewhere.
