Advertisements

Democrat operatives posing as angry customers and angry listeners have been threatening advertisers, to get advertisers to pull their ads from conservative talk shows, especially Rush Limbaugh.

It is being called terrorism, by at least one person who spoke with Stewart Varney this morning, as apparently some advertisers have been threatened, and have received obscene phone calls.

This is how the left works, if they don't agree with your point of view.

This has little to do with the Fluke "controversy" but that was the catalyst. They are targeting other shows besides Rush.

Or, maybe corporations who employ women (like, all of them) don't want to advertise witha piece of trash like Limbaugh. The free market sure sucks, doesn't it? AHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAAAAA!

You seriously think any corporation of any size is going to start advertising with Limbaugh? Riiiiiiiiiiight.

Maybe his buddies at Westboro Baptist can help Rush out.

So dittoheads, where is the "rush" of advertisers you all claimed would take the place of the advertisers who dropped?

Where is your proof that they haven't "rushed" to advertise? You're making an assertion that they haven't. Can you give us an up to the minute update on who advertises on Rush's show nationwide?

Thanks!

It is being called terrorism,
So advertisers are finding car bombs near their headquarters, execs being kidnapped and made to confess on the internet? And does this kind of terrorism (used to called free speech) apply to the tactics the Christian right has been using for years?

LOL isn't that the truth. The right wingers are always whining about wanting
"free markets!" then when they get them, are the first ones in line to complain
