The Best Apology from Limbaugh would be for Limbaugh to Leave the Air…
His absence is the only “I’m sorry” that will do.
IT IS TIME TO PUSH THIS CREATURE FROM THE AIRWAVES.
WE NEED TO CALL, WRITE, CALL, COMPLAIN, BOYCOTT
AOL Computer Services, online data backup service provider Carbonite, software maker Citrix Systems Inc., professional sports team The Cleveland Cavaliers, online conference organizer GoTo Meetings, online legal document services company LegalZoom, flower company ProFlowers, mortgage lender Quicken Loans and mattress companies Sleep Train and Sleep Number all have announced they have pulled theirads in reaction to Limbaugh’s comments (i.e. the Boycott Campaign).
There is still a lot of work to be done. The issue is not just Rush. It is also about all of the right wing pundits on the airwaves who have operated without accountability. It is another place where progressives can gather in solidarity and get results. It is a way of animating those who were beginning to wonder if anything could be done by anyone to stem the nastiness of Talk Radio (and by association, the internet blogs, Fox et.al.)
So, who is the boycott putting pressure on…..
Rush broadcasts on Clear Channel which is owned by Bain Capital. Clear Channel Communications (parent company of Premiere Radio Networks, Inc.) can be contacted at 200 Basse Road San Antonio TX 78209 Phone 1-210-822-2828
Premiere Radio Networks can be reached at
http://premiereradio.com/pages/advertising.html
and
http://premiereradio.com/pages/corporate.html
The following companies appear on various lists of sponsors who continue to support the Limbaugh show. This is the most recent update as of March 5, 2012. Note: Some of the listed sponsors do not contract with the Limbaugh Show but with Clear Channel. Some have used this as an “out” to avoid canceling ads saying that they are not responsible for ad placements by Clear Channel. It’s not working and the pressure on them continues.

Singing duo “Reformed Whores” delivers a musical message to Rush: “I’m a Slut.”
Kes, I saw that yesterday and got a kick out of it. They were pretty talented. Are they making the word “slut,” a new badge of honor? It sure would take the sting out of fat bastard’s remarks.
I think they have more joie de vivre in their little fingers than he has in his whole flaccid body, KT!
LOL! If fat bastard tried to move like these ladies did, he would really injure himself. Maybe we can talk him into trying! 😉
http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/03/08/441172/rush-limbaugh-radio-silence/
Yes, it sounds like that bag of french fries (or freedom fries, KT) has a hole in it. Are you missing them yet, Rush?
http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/mon-march-5-2012-shaun-donovan
Rush is not alone out there as we all know. I saw Paula Deen as number one on Yahoo!’s Trending Now section. Had to look as I have never had a fondness for this lady. Something has always stuck me that she was a little “off”. Well, one thing for certain, she is a true southern of the worst kind.
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/03/paula-deen-n-word-lawsuit-reveals-racial-slur-against-president-obama
Ugh. What a couple of racist slobs.
Escrib, you got that right!
I didn’t watch her show, but I saw her a few times. I never suspected such blatant racism to come out of her mouth. If those accusations are true, she and her brother are done.
I would hope they were not that bad but I have a feeling that those on the brother are more true than false.
I suspect that you are right about the brother. I doubt a law suit would have been filed without corroborating witnesses to his comments and behavior.
These creeps probably make even rednecks ashamed to be rednecks! Talk about churlish!
Hi KT! Some may have washed their necks but you know she made bigger fans out of the others with that kind of talk.
Hey Sally! Yeah, you’re probably right. At least in public, there would be rednecks who disavow such behavior. But when they are with their redneck buddies, it may be something altogether different.
I think Deen, Bubba and his bro could be the product of inbreeding!
LOL!! “She’s my wife, no she’s my cousin, no she’s my sister, no she’s my daughter, no….anyone seen my hound dog?”
With feint banjo music in the backround! 😉

Hi Murph – Yesterday while I listened to the Ed Schultz radio show while driving, the discussion was about the Rush sponsors. They mentioned that they doubted EHarmony would leave his show because the owners are extremely conservative and Rush supporters.
That’s true:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#Current_executives
Last I checked, a dating service needs women to operate.
eHaromony thinks it’s sustainable to support a hateful misogynist and still have women clients?
They’re in for a rude awakening.
Several women’s groups are targeting eharmony using the very logic you laid out here.
Ah, thanks for the info, AdLib. Yes, they would need women to operate a dating service unless it was exclusively geared to gay men!
I hope the women clients give them a strong message.
Like Hillsdale College, Lear Capital, Life Lock Quotes, Inc. ….same crowd.
Hey Ad Lib…the 32 count is from Think Progress. I cannot find any independent indication that either Netflix or Capital One ever had an ad on Rush’s show. I believe Think Progress has them there because they have Clear Channel contracts but with riders that do not permit advertising with Rush.
Best guess on my part.
Just got an interesting email back from Allstate (I wrote back and thanked her):
Dear [escribacat];
We believe that everyone deserves an individual response, and we value the questions and feedback we receive. Therefore, we’d like to take this opportunity to respond to your email.
Allstate’s advertising purchase strategy has not included the Rush Limbaugh Show. On March 5, 2012, we responded to inquiries about our advertising relationship with the show by stating we did not advertise on or sponsor it. As radio listeners notified us that they were hearing Allstate ads during the show that same afternoon, we contacted the vendor that arranges for our advertising placements and discovered that an error had been made and advertising time had mistakenly been purchased for the show.
We regret providing mistaken information about this situation. We have asked our media buying firm to correct the error by discontinuing any advertising on the Rush Limbaugh Show moving forward in keeping with our original advertising plans and strategies.
Thank you for contacting Allstate.
Sincerely,
April

Very cool! I’m not typically too complimentary about insurance companies but providing a detailed response earns Allstate justifiable props.
Not to mention props to you for emailing them!
ALLSTATE did a general media buy contract with Clear Channel and they got placement across the full range of Clear Channel programming. They may not have known that Rush was part of that package, but I doubt it.
Write to your local radio station that carries his programming. I just wrote to the Denver station.
http://www.850koa.com/pages/contact.html
To find the station, I googled “Rush Limbaugh show Denver”
Great suggestion, Escrib!
Great work Murph and all you posters! I’ve signed at least a half dozen petitions, posted them on Facebook, phoned local stations to remove Rush’s show and called some advertisers. I learned today that here in MA one of the stations that has dropped his show is located in Pittsfield, MA.
I do like the idea of following up with advertisers and thanking them for dropping Rush’s show.
Today is primary day here in MA – I thought about voting in the R primary but decided that they’ve done so much damage to themselves that my vote wasn’t needed. I will vote positively instead for Obama, who must win in NOvember.
Agreed, people should send positive emails and/or consider patronizing businesses that do the right thing and pull their ads from Rush.
We sure don’t want them going back!
Good on ya, greta….a series of jobs well done. I am going to the GOP caucuses in a couple of weeks as a guest. Santorum carried the state in the beauty contest but there is a move on to anoint Newt. After tonight Santorum may be looking better. All I want is for Romney to be dragged through the course desert sun to get to the nomination.
Your doing a great job with this issue Murph. Should be an interesting caucus you will attend- where do you live? I did go to the polls and as I mentioned earlier, I took the Dem ballot because in MA I knew the GOP would turn out for Romney and my vote for a different candidate would not have an impact. But I fully support your decision and hope it drags it out longer.
Cheers for the links. Limbaugh the Hut must go.
Rush, ever seen the movie A Face in the Crowd???? Lonesome Rhodes came home to roost at your golden mic.
Good reporting here, Murph! Thank you!
I think even Lonesome was a better person than Rush. I still can’t believe that was Andy Griffith. He was great in that role.
lalalu, you may have a point there. Did you know that was Andy Griffith film debut in that movie? He was a totally different Andy from the Sheriff of Mayberry, wasn’t he. There is a truth at the end of the movie that I am afraid will play out with Rush. It was a statement that Walter Matthau makes to Lonesome after Lonesome Rhodes has hit bottom. He tells him the fact that Lonesome Rhodes is not really destroyed at all. Matthau tells him that both the public’s, and the network’s need for Rhodes will, “after a decent interval” of remorse and public contrition, return him to the public eye; first locally (maybe only radio at first) and then, at some reduced level, nationally. I would be surprised if Rush is taken completely off the air. However, I think this movie relates in more ways than one.
I so agree.
One of my favorite films, glad so many more people know about it now after Olbermann dubbed Glenn Beck “Lonesome Rhodes”.
Here’s a quote from it:
AdLib, I can hear Rush saying he does the thinking for those rednecks and he owns them and the Repugs Party.
They are proud to be known as “dittoheads”, how much more blatant could they be about wanting Rush to do their thinking for them?

Thank you. We are making great progress on this. Pressure, pressure, pressure.
Murph, thanks so much for the very valuable info. I’ve had so little time lately, but I wanted to add my two cents worth — especially with Premiere Network (and its Bain/Romney connection). So I did. But in the process I stumbled on this very articulate comment from a woman on Premiere’s FB page and wanted to share it:
Kes, I wish I could give you time. You do so much with it 🙂
Awwwww, food. You are too kind. I sure would accept that time gift, though. 24 hours a day just don’t always seem to do it!
Kes, What a great find. That post is so true and so calm about it. Just a plain accurate description of the situation — but it really packs a punch.
That’s what I thought too, e’cat. It was just a great rebuttal of all RL’s bluster, wasn’t it?
A very fine contribution. A perspective that I, as a man, have to be brought to and schooled in. Kudos to you and to the Facebook contributor.
You know, it is possible to have casual hookups without being an irresponsible jerk or a ‘slut’.
I think the point should have focused more on the hypocrisy of wanting one while opposing the other.
Just sayin’. I was on board with that and then it got a little cliché and went into bitter anti-man stereotype territory.
And not just misogynist assholes like Rush, but it I kinda felt it started to generalize. I get it, you’re being generalized, and you’re pissed, but some of us guys were with you in the first place too, you know?
Can it be? Do we disagree? Maybe. I think the point she’s making is not that all men are jerks and she’s bitter. I think she’s saying that in American culture (and many others, too) there’s no word for men that compares with the word “slut” for women. A guy who beds 20 women in a month is viewed how in America? Negatively? Nuh-uh. Turn the tables and even in 2012 when a woman has 20 different men she’s going to raise some eyebrows. I’m not (and she may not be…I can’t speak for her) taking any kind of stand at all on the benefits/hazards/morality of multiple, frequent and casual hookups. Just taking note of the way these things are perceived, depending on the hooker-up’s gender.
So “slut” packs an emotional punch that “dog” or “player” doesn’t.
It’s kind of like saying that the N-word is bad, but so is calling a white person “honky.” The two aren’t equal. There’s no white person equivalent to the N-word.
The same goes for pejoratives for gay and lesbian people. Is there an equivalent for straight folks? Not really.
I guess I think of it in a way similar to a workplace power balance. My patients can make jokes at my expense and there’s no sense of exploitation there. But if I made fun of them, that’s an ethical violation. They’re in no position to really fight back.
And even in the 21st century, amazingly, women aren’t either. The only reason Limbaugh even gave a phony apology is not because women are powerful (necessarily). It’s because Bain Capital yanked on his leash. He never would have otherwise.
But that’s not the same thing as saying all men are like Rush. They obviously aren’t. Thank God! It also doesn’t mean the culture has evolved to treat casual sex on the part of women exactly as it does the same on the part of men.
If Rush had beefed about the cost of Viagra and contraception equally and eliminated the moral judgments, he might have survived this one. As it is, I don’t think he will.
kes, I don’t approve of ever calling a woman such a derogatory name such as “slut,” or “whore.” I like to think we got over that sort of thing with the sexual revolution and the women’s movement, but obviously we haven’t. Men who use those terms are thoughtless cretins and hypocrites. There is no call to degrade women in such a manor.
The “C” word that is thrown at women is also a vile and disgusting attack.
Unfortunately, enlightenment is not something that happens to us all, at the same time. Many different people reach awareness at different times in their lives, and some people never attain it, because they are stuck on stupid. They choose to remain ignorant and callous and bigoted and I think they should be called out whenever engaging in such mean and base behavior.
Thanks, KT! Yes, I never meant to imply that there is not a percentage of women who are in to the casual conquest, too. It was the use of the word “slut” to describe them, when in most cases that word would not be applied to men who indulged in the exact same behaviour. It’s like saying to one group: “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” and to the other: “Way to go, dudes!”
Khirad, personally I think if a person, male or female, that are engaging in casual sex upon mutual agreement and with protection there is a word that covers both the male and female…..lucky!
🙂
I agree with this paragraph 100%….”Every woman and girl deserves and NEEDS affordable, consistent, and easy access to effective birth control methods and reproductive health care.”
I will not deny that there are some pretty sleazy, irresponsible men in this world. But I think in many cases men aren’t totally to blame. Unless you’re talking about rape, in any of it’s nasty forms, many women today act like men and have their own sexual “conquests.” It is often a two way street.
I think a woman shouldn’t be the sole user of contraception, either. Men, of good conscience and responsibility should also use contraception in the form of condoms, especially if it’s casual sex. Condoms are the smart thing to do, not only as a contraception device, but also as a means to prevent the spread of STDs and HIV.

That is fantastic news! I read somewhere that his biggest advertisers were AOL and Allstate and he’s lost BOTH of them!!! HOOORRRRRAAAAAYYYY!
Yeah. I am excited. The word is two more will announce tomorrow.
I saw some rumors that Netflix was an advertiser. Have you heard anything about that?
Hillsdale College may be the only college that refuses to take any federal money, like Pell grants. They are very conservative and well endowed. Interesting that they are on this list. They had a terrible scandal several years ago when their long time President had an affair with his DIL, also a professor, and she committed suicide.
What’s with the cons and sex?
I remember that, Artist. And this is a college that recruits heavily among Christian homeschooling families.
(Totally unrelated… However! It looks as though my son may be your Indiana neighbor. He’s been accepted into a PhD program in math at Purdue.)
Only an hour away!
Not that far from my old Indianapolis alma mater, Marian University!
He must be totally nerdy smart!
He speaks a language I don’t understand, Artist: advanced math.
I look at his pages-long solutions and they might as well be in Arabic.
😯
Ah. Now it makes sense. I wondered what Hillsdale was. Was going to look it up and now really want to look it up. Thanks for this.
They are associated with Heritage too. Read about them, SEVERE conservatives!
Double yeck!
I thought it was only 8. 13 is something I never thought I would see. This is like a belated holiday gift. Thanks for the info.
Depending on how you count, the list is either 12, 13 or 14. We understand that two more will announce tomorrow. Rush only has a few hundred million so I am not looking to crush his wallet, just his pride. And to send a message to the GOP talking machine.
Oh, so this is what “Christian” comedy is.

Yep, Heaton is a total joke.
Wow, I didn’t know she was an ignoramus.
She’s just starring in a new online show, “Everyone Hates Patricia”.
Wonderful
Yeah, too bad Raymond liked her; she had nothing till then. Another self important conservative
She showed her colors quite a few years ago; Terry Schaivo maybe.
Just read…disgusting…and I so liked her on Raymond….come to think of it her character was a bit of shrew….hmmmmm.
Indeed, I don’t think she was acting much. In any case, I hope the cast of The Middle gives her some shit.
I remember her telling a story about when Bush and Kerry (or it may have been Gore) were running for President she was shun by the cast of Everybody Loves Raymond because she was for Bush. But, another cast member said that she caused it because she got so mouthy about it.
I can totally see that.
Well now, I’d missed this.
Patricia Heaton Pens Memoriam to Andrew Breitbart
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/andrew-breitbart-death-patricia-heaton-296604
At the site, someone commented asking how she would like someone editing video of her to make her look bad, like a racist or anti-Semite. Would she praise that person?
How can you be so hateful when your whole life has been being pampered and paid way too much for play acting?
Wow…she’s a real woman-hater, isn’t she? This one was “charming.”
She obviously didn’t read Ms. Flukes testimony.
NONE OF THEM HAVE. It’s like its own meme and they repeat it as truth. No amount of CRAZY CAPS LOCK SHOUTING seems to get the actual facts through the bubble. They actually believe she was talking about needing to have lots of sex, not about a medical concern of her LESBIAN friend (I mean honestly, you’d think they’d be bitching about THAT!).
She has always been this way. I don’t think she got along well with the rest of the cast.
Patricia Heaton was/is the spokesperson for “Feminists for Life” a militant anti-abortion group, one leader of which used to be a leader of Project Rescue in Buffalo, NY the other leaders of which are powerful Dominionist Christians. Heaton therefore needs to be considered pretty “out there” politically. Apparently Heaton is knee-jerk enough to say the things she says about Fluke, NONE of which are what Fluke discussed. Obviously Heaton bought the whole ball of wax. But she cancelled her Twitter account? Wow. She must have gotten TweetFlamed but good.
I’m putting in the entire email for reference.
please send an email to Armed Forces Network, asking them to support servicewomen and women veterans and stop airing Rush Limbaugh’s radio program.
In addition to the eleven sponsors that have withdrawn their advertising from Rush Limbaugh’s radio program, now a group of female veterans are calling on Armed Forces Network to drop Rush Limbaugh from its programming. Here is an excerpt from the letter they sent to the network:
Rush Limbaugh has a freedom of speech and can say what he wants, but in light of his horribly misogynistic comments, American Forces Radio should no longer give him a platform. Our entire military depends on troops respecting each other – women and men. There simply can be no place on military airwaves for sentiments that would undermine that respect. When many of our female troops use birth control, for Limbaugh to say they are “sluts” and “prostitutes” is beyond the pale. It isn’t just disrespectful to our women serving our country, but it’s language that goes against everything that makes our military work.
Support servicewomen and women veterans by joining their call: send an email to Armed Forces Network, asking them to stop airing Rush Limbaugh’s radio program.
Keep fighting,

I like it. I will use it as you suggested for my second e mail. I have also contacted folks in the House and Senate on this. Asking them how we could be supporting such trash with tax dollars.
Nice work, Murph.
What does anybody think about this:

I’m a little sceptical about whether this will achieve anything.
Outstandng contribution. Cenk will get nowhere but the paragraph that deals with Portable People Meters. and what they say about his real listening audience is outstanding. Thank you for finding this…I feel a great comment forming for my two other blogs.
