the night Rush Limbaugh died

[Syrinx]

Commercially.

Last night. Even Morning Joe is dragging him this morning.

1. It looks like even the big fat idiot can jump the shark.

His insensitive assholery has finally caught up to him...

[Hekate]

3. I hope to God so. He and Pat Robertson are two of the most disgusting pieces of alleged humanity...

... to disgrace the USA. I spit in their general direction.

2. He's said some seriously sick shit before, lots of times.

He could barbecue and eat a Haitian child live on the air and a big percentage of his audience would still hang on his every word..

After all, the Haitians made a deal with the devil so they deserve anything that happens to them. :eyes:

[malaise]

15. Tut Tut don't you know that the only way a slave army could beat the

great white French is if they dealt with the devil.

[SmileyRose]

16. A good percentage of Limpballs listeners really do believe

God gave those who are evil dark skin so we could tell. The Book of Mormon says, and they still teach, that dark skin is a curse from God because of that whole Cain and Abel thing.

[DainBramaged]

4. Unfortunately Limpballs speaks for about 5% of the population

I just took the garbage out and my neighbor has a new bumper sticker which reads "Uncle Sam Wante YOU to Speak English". Pretty telling.

[The Gunslinger]

9. more like 50%

75% here in N.C. He just got his own FM radio station in Raleigh "RUSH106.1" is the name.

[LaydeeBug]

11. there's a whole media package that goes on in radio... some sort of bundling

bigger minds would be better at explaining this, but suffice it to say, his ratings are hyped... to say the least.

[mmonk]

14. We have progressive radio from Chapel Hill.

But I don't understand 106.1 FM joining in with Rush. I plan to find out who advertises on his program and start a boycott list.

[The Gunslinger]

18. Good idea. especially the local advertisers.

I listen to WCHL everywhere in Raleigh and Cary that I can pick it up.

[mmonk]

21. I'll start a blog dedicated to it in the near future.

[Progressive_In_NC]

23. Yeah that's going to backfire 680 am has a VERY loyal listener base

They won't switch over just for Rush, they stay on 680 for Dave Ramsey and then Bill Lemaye (sp?). Don't listen to it, but my neighbors have all tuned out Rush and stayed with their 15 year habit.

[muriel_volestrangler]

5. Are there any advertisers saying they're withdrawing?

Or listening figures showing a big drop? That's all that will concern him. Remember, he's survived being a hypocritical and illegal drug taker, a racist, and an all-round continual asshole. He clearly has plenty of listeners who applaud his bigotry and hypocrisy. Untill they turn on him, it's just publicity and food for his ego.

[Champion Jack]

7. His sponsers need to know how people feel about his hate speach

also, why is he still on Armed Forces Radio?

[UTUSN]

6. Craig FERGUSON savaged him last night, then let him off the hook

Read a quote from LIMBOsevic to the effect that OBAMA was using the Haiti crisis "to burnish" his cred with Blacks, then said to say such a thing was "dumb, just DUMB, incredibly dumb... but everybody says dumb things" on live media off the cuff (supposedly). Then he finished off with, "But you know if (LIMBOsevic) donates one million of his own, we'll just not mention it again."

[The Gunslinger]

8. Unfortunately he'll be more popularr than ever.

[ima_sinnic]

10. I know it's OT, but notice how loss of sponsors didn't end Beck

has anybody noticed whether Beck has quietly regained sponsorship? I no longer have a TV, so I can't check this for myself.

discouraging that even if a boycott of Limpball sponsors occurred, it apparently wouldn't even shut him up or get him off the air.

[liberal N proud]

12. He has always been this cruel and ugly

The question is when will remarks like this finally do him in?

Each absurd outburst is more insane yet the turd keeps right on slugging through and the dittoheads keep right on sucking that shit through the airwaves.

13. "The eclipse was on Rush's Sun." - Ronald Reagan's Dead Republicon Astrologer*

"As any republicon occultist could tell you, Rush DraftDodger Limbaugh (R) has his Sun at around 23 degrees Capricorn. That's right where the Epic Eclipse was. So the drug-addled draft dodger was not so much pnwed as he was ECLIPSED."

17. Joe did yesterday as well, as did Mika

I know the AM-Joe bashers will hate it . . . kinda throws them for a loop.

[stray cat]

19. Rush demands we let Haitians die to keep the president from looking competent

[jasi2006]

20. It's time for a really HUGE petition to his sponsors. nt

[deminks]

22. They will all apologize to their favorite comedian,..I mean political boss next week.

They will give the 24/7 Haiti news cycle a few more days, then MLK day, then they will apologize. Every stinking one of them will. Just like they did the last time he said something horrendous.

There's no biznus like show biznus... it's what's for $1000/plate dinner.
