I wish I was PremierRadio's exchange server. The emails going back and forth among sales as they watch their monthly revenue projections plummet must be delicious.

You didn't put religious right in your list of choices so I didn't bring them up. But since you mentioned them, do you think they are worse than the religious left? Now I know the ones on the right make all the noise and the ones on the left sit back and smile a lot, but are they really that much different? Now there are certainly times I wish they would just shut the fuck up, but I wouldn't call them the scum of the earth. Well, maybe some of them.

It's hard to imagine someone's being unable (or unwilling?) to distinguish between, say, Gene Robinson or Jim Wallis and Pat Robertson or Jim Dobson.

A 7th advertiser backs away from Limbaugh's show after he calls law student "slut"

By Associated Press, Updated: Sunday, March 4, 2:46 PM

NEW YORK — A flower company is the 7th advertiser in recent days to say it is pulling ads from conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh’s radio program.

ProFlowers says on its Facebook page that it has suspended advertising on Limbaugh’s program because his comments about Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke “went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company.”

The company had said on Twitter that posts it received about Limbaugh’s remarks affected how it dealt with its advertising partners.

After initially rejecting withdrawing ads from rush`s show....Carbonite,a computer back-up service now say they will and in spite of rush`s non-apology, aren`t go to run ads on his show in the future.

Even though the feckless cons are screaming "freedom of speech" and repression and all.....this is one of the purest and most organic forms of democracy in action.

Similar to what happened w/ the Susnb G Komen flap.

People in droves......all on their own and with total FREEDOM.....withdrew there support and their donations the foundation.

If one is against these basic kinds of human interactions......they are against freedom itself.

I tend to agree here, look at the topic on freerepublic, they dont even get the truth or facts.
and the people here ignoring the facts and trying to obfuscate the scumbags comments.
tomorrow the whinning about letting it go and moving on with life will be the mantra

You may be right... however... this isnt about drug use. No claiming the man was out to get him. This he did on his own.

Allow me to add this... Romney has enough problems with his history with Bain... is Rush worth all this trouble?

Yeah Obama needs to talk about the 'real issues' like cell phone towers. My God. Who exactly is Maher bigoted against? Are we about to get a 'pity the poor white man' rant? The last time we had a 'real budget', ie a balanced one, was when Clinton was in office. The last Republican to balance a budget was Eisenhower. The last Republican to not, at a minimum, double the deficit was Nixon.

Cell phone towers aren't the issue, HSF. Taking away local authority, over local matters, that impact local lives, is a solid, kitchen-table, kind of issue.

Do you watch Maher's show? Do you see the contempt he continually expresses for people of faith? I quit watching because I found it offensive, and I'm not a Christian.

Why does my race matter, in the subjects of my rants?

A budget, period, HSF. You know. As in, a document that presents an accounting the American citizen of how our money is being spent?

Oh, and welcome to the forums.

Yes, he does have contempt for people of the Christian faith......so do I. I would have been perfectly content to 'live and let live', but Christians are hell bent on shoving their destructive, racist and divisiveness on the rest of the population. They wanted a war, they should cease complaining about it now that they have one.

He did drugs on his own too. Noone held his arm and made him swallow them.

My point is that the mental feebs who eat up his words will support him by saying
"Ditto Rush" as long as he can point out that "It isn't your fault...It's their fault"

As I've said several times. By definition, half of the country is of below average intelligence. Get them to like you and you're golden.

Rush understands that.

Oh my. I missed that.

HSF, do you honestly think MLK (a Baptist minister) was destructive and divisive? Or Desmond Tutu (an Anglican bishop)? You may want to rethink painting with such a broad brush.

Yeah, me too. I'm just catching up. But he did say a ways back that if he ever acted in public like Breitbart did he'd be paralysed with shame. So if we don't hear from him for a while, there ya go.

Rush understands that.

True, but not particularly useful. I suspect that cumulative deviation IQ for voting age ranges is more useful. Relative to normative mean IQ, that is. In other words, the Gaussian distribution holds independent of the age range (per decade would be a good way to deliniate), but the mean IQ shifts downwards with increasing age relative to the mean IQ measured at majority age (or 16; seems IQmax ≈ 16 years).

In other words, as my old man used to say, "the older you get, the dumber you get." Rush's demographic has a mean IQ lower than Colbert's demographic.

Bottom line is this.

The fact that Rush is so popular means there's a bunch of STUPID motherfuckers in this country.
