Rush " I guess Carbonite, etc dont want you, my listeners, to use thier products. I knew they were all libs, but always turned a blind eye to it. You dont need them anymore...."


It's pure comedy gold...

That's just stupid of him.

Why would anyone start to advertise with a guy who will speak ill of you the moment you stop giving him money?

I agree. Keep your opinions separate from your advertisers. A little disclaimer before or at the end of the show should be more than enough.

Carbonite has been his biggest single advertiser for more than 10 years, just barely ahead of LifeLock and Proflowers.

ProFlowers already pulled out as well btw. In all so far, he has lost 9 of his top 15 advertisers.

Rush has screwed up a dozen times over the years and every time the liberals laugh and dance and call his doom but the people who listen to him agree with whatever it is he says or does. That thing that you all find so abhorrent is why he will always continue to persist.

What the hell are you talking about? I never want Limbaugh to go away. He is comedy gold and every time he opens his mouth he makes 'conservatives' more stupid...which is almost impossible. It's awesome!

Hm.. I am listening to Rush, being at my office, and I am not hearing a meltdown. I didn't hear that about Carbonite. I must have missed it.

I'm more surprised that anyone would find anything that Rush has to say to be shocking any more. He's been doing the same schtick for about 20 years now. It's not like he just suddenly became a dumbass overnight.

EDIT: Kamdar is probably just recruiting new listeners.

Do you have a link for this because I cannot find anything anywhere referring to it.

I used to listen to Rush a lot during the 90's, I thought he was pretty over the top and liked to see people go into a tizzy with what he had to say, now it's just old and tired.

However, doesn't really matter what advertisers he loses, he has so many listeners that new ones will step right up.
