Tell Rush Limbaugh's sponsors to permanently discontinue their advertising!

 
Remember, talk jocks are entertainers.  First and foremost.  Whatever they personally believe must still be spun in a way that arouses the interest, excitement and anger of their listeners.  Do what you must to get the juices flowing.  It's like those TV shows where the host gets the woman to confess to another woman that she's having a baby by the other woman's husband, and after the fire works settle down they bring the dumb husband on without telling him that both women are waiting to kill him.  Ho Boy!  What fun! 
But I do suspect that most of the Shock/Talk Jocks are hammering on things they can support.  Rush most probably holds women in low esteem, and assertive women in contempt.  But it really doesn't matter what he believes, because his stupid mouthing's are gobbled up by many people looking for ways to vent their frustrations.  He is going to say what brings in the bacon.

I wonder how menny of the commercial talk show hosts on both sides really
believe what they say, or do they just repeat what their producers tell them
to.

>> Dear Friend,
>> Our momentum in the campaign against Rush Limbaugh is generating
>> impressive results.
>> Over 140 companies have pulled their advertising dollars from the Rush
>> Limbaugh show.
>> In fact the national advertising exodus has been so devastating, that
>> Rush Limbaugh
>> has had to resort to filling his advertising slots with free public
>> service announcements
>> and even minutes of dead air at some points.
>> And just yesterday, Premiere Networks, the subsidiary of Clear Channel
>> that distributes
>> the show, told local affiliates it was pausing national ads for two
>> weeks, though
>> they were free to air ads from two companies remaining loyal to Rush
>> Limbaugh: Lifelock
>> and Lear Financial.
>> Over 444,000 other CREDO Action members have sent the message to
>> Rush's advertisers
>> not to fund his vile attacks on women. But we can't take our
>> short-term victory for
>> granted. Several of the advertisers who pulled their ads haven't made
>> the commitment
>> to drop them permanently -- they merely "suspended" their ads, and may
>> return once
>> the controversy dies down.
>> I told Rush Limbaugh advertisers to pledge to make their "suspension"
>> of advertising
>> permanent. You should too. You can get more information and sign the
>> petition at
>> the link below.
