Watch all of his sponsors come running back to support him all over again.
Oh, so NOW he's sorry? Yeah right! If he were really sorry, he'd quit his show! hehehehehehehe.... He's not sorry. He is sorry that he did not project the public's response of his disgusting rants.
Jerry.... no need to Worry..... even after the apology, CARBONITE has just walked! One of his 3 BIGGEST sponsors! i'm peeing myself with delight over this.
Classic! I hope he winds up taking ads for ED drugs like Glenn Beck did before he went off the air when nobody else wanted to buy his air time.
Rush Limbaugh and flaccid weenies go together like peanut butter and jelly.
The total sponsors that have left now stands at 6. Let's hope it keeps up!
That slime only half-apologized when he realized that his asinine remarks would threaten his show. At least a lot of his sponsors are now realizing just how toxic the guy is, and can be for their products.
Right now would be a good time to remind the public of all the disgusting things he's said over the years.
And you know Soulster... Ron Paul of all people said the exact same thing this morning on Meet the Press. that his apology wasn't geniune, and he did it for his own personal gain.
And, you don't think Ron Paul said it for his personal gain?Quote:

Well, the question if Limbaugh believes the garbage he spews. He claims to be a shock jock, but I think he's serious. Even if he's not, his audience hangs on his every word. Ditto heads, they used to call them. His audience is mostly White males, just as Glenn Beck attracts White females.
Another advertiser, #7, pulls out of Limburger's show:

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics...slut-comments/
“Mr. Limbaugh’s recent comments went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company,” the Internet-based flower delivery company wrote in a statement on its Facebook page Sunday afternoon. “As such, ProFlowers has suspended advertising on The Rush Limbaugh radio program.”Quote:

Soulster... of course Ron Paul said it for personal gain, but I think Ron Paul truly BELIEVES it, too. UPDATE!!!! the sponsors leaving his show now stands at EIGHT! AOL has dumped him, CNN just reported this about 30 minutes ago. I knew more dominoes would fall once monday got here, and companies had a chance to have meetings and make decisions after the feedback gathered over the weekend.
I'm wondering about doing business with any of these companies because they ignored Limbaugh when he said nasty, personal things about the President and his wife and family.Quote:

Now, ultra-conservative Patrica Heaton is taking the heat for her part in this.

I guess the folks at ABC read both Twitter and angry viewer e-mails. I wonder if "The Middle" will take a ratings hit Wednesday night?Quote:

Maybe it is the last straw. In any event, it is about time he got thrown out on his rear.Attachment 4574Quote:

It doesn't say anything good for the republiKKKan party who have, to this very moment, refused to repudiate him. Still, not one of them will sta nd up against Limbaugh. It makes one wonder just what he has on them, or what they think he can do to them.
Even if they come out now and stand up to him now, they still look bad for allowing him to get away with all that he has said and done over the years.
Another problem the the repibliKKKans have: if they do start standing up to Limbaugh, they will alienate all his fans and will loose support.
I predict he will keep going with his show and no one will call for his removal. They will listen to him like they do Donald Trump. In fact, Faux news and the other conservatives are rallying around him. The gop leadership is supporting himQuote:

Meanwhile, he has lost two more sponsors today, and no, a Hawaiian radio station has dropped his show. And, this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1321654.html
Anyway, all this is making me very happy! Obama is looking at four more years in the White House!
Limbaugh=Hog Shat....with a' less than' mentality to boot!
Soulster,
You are probably right,unfortunately. Same thing goes for the top federal judge in Montana. I heard someone say today that if the situation was reversed and a Democratic Judge said that about W's mother there would have been hell to pay.
Yep. That was in the news for about 20 seconds. But the media is biased to the left? Yeah, right...Quote:

Oh yeah! that's a big one! How come no one on either side is speaking up about that one?Quote:

He forwarded an email from his work email address suggesting that. He does back to the bench tomorrow. I think he suspended himself for a few days and asked for an investigation. Personally, he should step down and forget about his pension.Quote:

I forwarded them to my boss who contacted his manager. Shortly after, I received apologies but I always got the impression he trashed me in his next e-mail.
I dont know why the Repubs are afraid of Rush? They act like he has the final word! As happy as I am to see these advertisers pull out I think it may be back to business as usual for him he would have to have LOTS of advertisers pull out for him to sink because of his huge audience. I never will forget when he said Michael J Fox didnt take his medicine so he could appear shaky in front of Congress so they would vote for stem cell research. Shock Jock or not he has said some things that if anyone else had said it would have been sued or yanked off of the air.
Listing of advertisers who have pulled out and its more than 8!

Two radio stations have now dropped him. I have a feeling more will follow.Quote:

If the Clear Channel drops him, he knows he has a home at Faux news. They are supporting him.Quote:

I was just answering trivia questions in the Soulful Detroit Forum about Sly & the Family Stone and some of the above posts make me think of their song Higher and Higher.
