Advertisers and radio stations pull out of Limbaugh's show-the people have spoken (kids, women)

What would make you think that women are the top customers of Limbaugh's advertisers?

Well, I want to go before Congress and DEMAND that they give me a free gun with free ammo, because it is my right as stated in the 2nd Amendment.

After all, if Eric Holder is going to spend US tax dollars to send thousands of assault weapons to Mexican drug cartel criminals, I, as a law-abiding US citizen & "gun nut", demand equal treatment from my government.

I sure thought ProFlowers took a long time, considering their business is all about giving gifts mostly to women.

I was going to craft some mock ads like "Nothing tells her she's your prostitute like our 'Do my friend and film it!' bouquet", or, "June 9th is ****'s Day, our special on roses will let your little trollop know you care."

Rush Limbaugh's not the only one who can call people names: Don Imus expressed his, shall we say, disappointment with the conservative radio host today, calling Limbaugh's Sandra Fluke apology "lame," particularly because it was not given in person. On Fox Business Network's Imus In the Morning, Imus also called Limbaugh "a fat, gutless, pill-popping loser."

I have to give huge respect to Imus on this one for manning up and telling it like it is against that vial animal Limbaugh.

Imus hits it out of the park calling out Limbaugh as being "an insecure pig" "pill poppin' pinhead" "he has no guts, he's a punk" and "he's a coward"

Glad to see there is at least some sane people on the right still around

Not just customers but they are the decision makers at many levels.

His comments were offensive to many men as well:

It is as much a concern for a husband that children are conceived when it works for the couple as it is for the wife. The cost of THEIR contraception is a family expense.

Further, fathers of young women want to protect them from unplanned pregnancies and as the law student said those medications are used for more than preventing pregnancy.

But the utter misogynistic viciousness of Rush's slander, directed at an innocent young woman who, for most of us, brought our daughters to mind... I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of long-term listeners turn Limbaugh off in disgust this time.

I'm no fan of Limbaugh. But as a conservative woman, I have to agree with him on this. If you're having so much sex that you can't afford the birth control, even though you attend a VERY pricey university, you are hardly innocent. And yeah, I think you're pretty much a ****.

AOL just jumped ship too.
