    Only 100?

    If he can afford it and at his age Rush could have had thousands of Sandra Flukes by now.

    That's a private matter between him and Sandra Fluke.

    You mean you insist on being in the room with them when it happens - or doesn't happen?

    Oooh...you just insulted one of the biggest right-wing spammers on the forum.
    Shame on you.

    So you would love to know how many prostitutes Rush has banged? I don't know about Rush's sexual affairs with prostitues, but I know he is a married man. Your fascination with another man's sexual life tells me that you're either envious of him or are having problems with your own sexual identity.

    Who the hell is Sleep Train? I've never heard their commercials even once on Limbaugh. Must be local. What a joke.

    She said over $100.00 in her testimony. Being as I did not see anyone online saying they pay that much for birth control, will that bogus congressional hearings have her brought up on perjury charges? That is the second time you have made an ad hominem attack on me. Is that all you got? You can apologize to me.

    another joke is these people that don't understand that Limbaugh OWNS his own show...he can't be 'fired' or 'shut down'..

    :nana::nana:

    (for the people in RiaLinda (sp) that is a perfect example of the freedom you get with free enterprise...see if you pay for your OWN stuff, no one can take it away from you...:shh: )

    Rio Linda. The only thing that can hurt him is if stations drop him, but I doubt they will. He has the most popular show in America. All Limbaugh said is that this woman want someone to pay her $3,000.00 to have sex. Isn't that what whores and prostitutes do? Ask for money to have sex? Same thing. Stupid for people to get upset about remarks that are completely true.

    Rush Limbaugh's ratings have fallen 30% n the last 6 months. Hannity's radio show is right behind him with a loss of 28%.

    people are wising up to the crap.

    Sleep Train will take a little hit in sales for the quarter..investors will grumble..then, maybe by summer, Sleep Train will be back 'in bed with Rush'. It's the price paid for not being politically correct in an era where words, opinions and ideas are censored and limited. Rush used an apt description of the lady. She prefers to screw every Tom, Dick and Harry and she wants 'me' to tote the bill. Go Rush...he nailed it.

    Let's not lose context just because you're desperate to do so, k? Rush Limbaugh can lose a lot more than 30%, and still be by far the most influential political pundit on this planet, and untouchable by any leftist who nurses notions of being comparable.

    I think you've misdiagnosed this, so let me present what I think is a stronger case for falling ratings for "right-wing talk radio".

    There are simply far more outlets for us right-wingers to feed our need for information. The blogosphere alone has exploded in relevance. Podcasts are available; live streaming. There are more right-wing radio personalities than ever before. There are simply far more entertainment options overall now. These things will - by necessity - dilute the ratings of the top performers.

    But they are still top performers.

    Interesting statistics. Did you make them up or do you have a link to provide proof of what you say? Oh, of course you don't or you would have provided it.

    What he probably means is that he has dropped his listenership 30% and 28%...why is it liberals are always first to report what Rush, Hannity and the like say on their radio shows?

    There's probably another thread about Rush's apology. If you haven't seen it, it's at rushlimbaugh.com.

    I looked at that list of Rush's advertisers. The only one I ever did business with is Pro Flowers. Cancelled my account this AM. :bump::bump: I support Free Speech.

    Considering what Rush said, Freud might have something to say about your response here.

    If Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson exercised their Free Speech you'd here a different mantra ... :mrgreen:

    Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict and a closet homosexual. And he's no Pat Buchanan.

    It is strange that many mention Freedom of Speech for Rush Limbaugh but then condemn advertisers that withdraw from supporting him based upon their own right to Freedom of Speech. A celebrity represents the product and if that person isn't representing the product in a positive light then the advertisers have every right to withdraw their advertising from the program.

    The withdrawal of advertising doesn't impose a limitation upon Rush Limbaugh's freedom of speech. He can say whatever he wants but that doesn't mean he deserves to get paid for whatever he says.
