UPS PULLS ADS FROM RUSH LIMBAUGH’S RADIO SHOW | UPS has pulled its ads from Rush Limbaugh’s radio show, becoming the latest company to boycott the show since his well-circulated slurs against Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke. Cumulus Media, which owns 38 of the 600 channels that air Limbaugh’s show, told financial analysts that the boycott — now more than 40 companies and counting — cost them “a couple million bucks in the first quarter and a couple of million bucks in quarter two.”

1. Let's see if the GOP cuts Rush's pay next. Not holding my breath on that one.

2. They can't. He still reaches too many morons and besides,

he has a contract that is undoubtedly iron clad. Anyone who lost that many sponsors would have been let go without an iron clad contract.

My guess is that they're frantically searching for a replacement right wing fog horn to replace him when his contract is up.

3. As Nathan Detroit would say

that is not insignificant.

6. Good.

Away from the casual AM bedwetter-type listener.

7. I cancelled my subscription when they picked up 'Dr' Laura.

That was a couple of years or so ago.

I currently have a one year free subscription that came with a new car. When it runs out in September, I will once again tell them that I won't support hate speech.

19. There is Sirius-XM left

nt

[pstokely]

18. If that happens, they'll jack up the rates

Sirius-XM doesn't offer Al La Carte pricing, you can order groups of channels like that but not individual channels

8. UPS pulls out

[Blue Owl]

9. If it's brown, flush Ru$h down

10. WHY IS THIS PUKE STILL ON THE AIR???

What more do we have to do to get him canned?

Is he still on AFN? If so, why?

20. He's a loss leader

13. The Mills of God grind slowly; but, they do grind exceedingly fine!

And I love seeing Rush ground to a fine powder!

16. HurryUp Limbo = Butter Ball

"Limbo Is A Butter Ball"

HurryUp Limbo
is a butter ball
but he ain't no turkey.

Calling him a turkey
would be showing him too much respect.

Even a butter ball turkey
receives more respect than Limbo.

17. Was UPS a national advertiser?

Or an advertiser, intentionally or inadvertently, in local spots?

21. Thank goodness UPS finally located its conscience. Not one moment too soon. n/t

22. UPS YOURS RUSH!

[wordpix]

23. yeah, baby! Power of the internet and boycotts! Kiss your big bucks goodbye, DrugRush

[libodem]

24. Pure right-wing

Propaganda. The same thing goes on on the African continent. Divide and conquer. Glad it has not come down to calls to kill your liberal neighbors, yet. Almost but not yet.

Anyone notice how Glans Bleck went straight to championing Zimmerman and slandering Travon?

These are dangerous, deranged thugs, who court Fascist ideology.

Rash Limpo is a traitor, seditious, lying slug who should not be allowed to trash our Commander-in-chief to his troups on AFR.
