These people are following Media Matters, which is known for distortion of truth, if not outright lies. Always has been. They are a propaganda site.
It's not outright lies. The ad orders might have already been placed. By pulling advertising, that could mean everything from a cease-desist of current ads to cancelling future ad orders. For some it might be right away; for others it might mean that they'll go with the ad orders they have.

FWIW, I think the advertisers are being a bit disingenuous. I don't respect any advertiser for pulling out of Rush's show, not when they've been supporting his act the entire time, fully aware of the corrosive effects he's had on political discourse.

I heard several national ads today.

But I did cancel Netflix and last weekend I cancelled our Penny's and Sears charge accounts because they dropped Rush.

Do you have any understanding at all, what that "Freedom of speech" you are talking about is???? I really doubt it!

It reminds me of that complete goofus Sara Palin. She has no clue what freedom of speech is either. She and many like her think it's a freedom of speech issue when your employer tells you that you can't say such and such or write such and such, IF YOU WANT TO STAY EMPLOYED IN HIS BUSINESS. Constitutional "freedom of speech" is between the citizen and the government, ONLY and not ANY other parties.

It's my freedom of speech that I can phone, Email or write to anyone and tell them I won't buy their products if............... It's freedom of speech because the government can not prevent me from doing so or charge me with any crime for it.

As far as your assertion that "Conservatives don't often stoop to that level, all I can say is LOL LOL LOL.
There is NO level a conservative will not stoop to.

What level do you ascribe to lying to the American people about Iraq's WMD in order to invade and destroy the country. Expend trillions of American tax payers dollars, kill thousands of young American men and women, create tens of thousands of walking wounded who should be cared for for the rest of their lives.

That is stooping lower than an earthworm's belly and you can't get lower than that.

He's only relevant to the truly ignorant RWNJs..morons have to have a hero and a fat,worthless,chickenhawk,drug addicted,rumored pedophile seems to fit the bill nicely for them.

What is conservative about that? It is Woodrow Wilson ideology taken to its inevitable position.
