That's just wrong.  They also make Purina dog food there.

Yes, he has lost his credibility
33%

No, there's a need for his conservative commentary
67%

No wonder all the libs are still foaming at the mouth. It still looks like their impotent narrative is not nearly as fertile as they would like to believe.'

Is it okay to raise your tax rate or lower your income by 33% since it's such an impotent number in your view?

Rush has claimed to have 20 million listeners. 33% is 6.6 million people. That seems pretty significant to me. MMV.

True 'nuff.  Still, it is produced in St. Louis.  That's all I am saying.

Tax rates? I realize you think that's a clever point, but I assure you it isn't. The current narrative of the libs is that Rush is doomed, conservatives are abandoning Rush Limbaugh, he cannot survive this, blah, blah, blah.

First of all, I actually wonder how many of that 33% were liberals who thought they could post to the poll in an effort to censor his show. Rush Limbaugh has a very loyal audience, and considering how much mad dog liberal like to try to silence anyone they disagree with, I sincerely doubt many of that 33% have ever even listened to Rush Limbaugh.

However, even considering the extremely slim possibility that every single vote taken was from a conservative lets pretend that you own a business a moment. If you want to advertise to conservatives, advertising with 67% of a listening audience is much more advantageous than finding the 33% alternative to advertise with.

It doesn't even have to be conservatives. It could be liberals, pet owners, or any group. If you owned a business and discovered that your customers were mostly members of the Occupy movement then it would make a lot of sense for you to advertise on whatever radio station 67% of your local Occu-whiners like to listen to. That would be an economic advantage to you. Advertising your product on a station where only 33% of the listeners smell of urine would not make very much sense if you wanted to stay in business very long, now would it?

No, that would not make sense. In fact, it would be as ignorant as your suggestion that this has anything to do with income or taxes.

Sadist Dave,

If 33% of my customers were leaving (and they are his customers) whether they are in a minnneapolis airport bathroom, or a liberal that happened by, or any other thing, Obama listening to Rush while talking with Benny Netanyahu whatever.

I would think on it hard, because you see a business, it grows or it dies, there isnt any sneak by for a few years and hang on with 2/3rds of the listeners in your St. Louis market.

ad revenue drops, facetime publicity drops, and so on.

In my earlier post about fucked up things Rush has said on the airwaves, I didn't include these tidbits:

-- Female Cabinet members are "Sex-retaries." -- "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies." -- The National Organization for Women is "a bunch of whores to liberalism." -- [Said to an African-American female caller]: "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back."
This is the voice of modern conservatism?  Someone who routinely makes sexist and  racist comments, while his audiences lap it up?  You guys must be so proud.  Give me Bill Maher any day.

Time will tell. How long has it been since Slutgate started? It's already being exposed for the mockery it really is and is losing steam fast.

Just how many weeks of liberal chest-thumping and posturing it will it take for Rush Limbaugh to finally be "taken down"? Is this false narrative going to continue or will the ignorance of trying to perpetrate this hoax continue in leftist circles? This notion that a mass exodus of his supporters is obviously not quite as effective as Media Matters or the Democratic Underground would like you all to believe.

For all the blow and bluster of the left on this, don't you think 33% is a little underwhelming after all the energy you folks have put into this?

I assure you it is. It points out the fact that 33% is not 'impotent' as a number as you claimed. It's significant. Interesting that you didn't actually answer that question though. Just as interesting as the fact that you didn't answer the first question I asked you when you claimed Obama was going to lose but couldn't point to which of the dismal choices we have left can win without the ability to garner even 40% of the republican base. If you can't garner the attention of 40% of your own base how can you garner the attention and collect 50+% of the general? (Bet you're not going to answer that question either.)

Opinion or fact? Nevermind.. it's just your opinion. No need to answer.. not that you would anyway.

I would guess that there is also a contingent out there who didn't think Rush had credibility in the first place. Shall we count them as well? You are reaching. There is zero in the way of proof or support for your supposition.

It is not possible if Rush has a 20 million person listenership he claims. I have already shown how every single person in every single market he has would have to listen to Rush in order for that 20 million number to be accurate.. unless you think Rush is lying about his listenership? (I don't expect you to answer that question.. it's too tough, so feel free to pass it by as it won't help your spin here.)

Okay. My hypothetical business sells donuts. I order and pay for 10 donuts from my vender. He delivers 7. I'm gonna be a bit miffed at the rip-off. Would you say that I have a right to leave and find a vendor that will deliver on his promise and give me what I've already paid for or not? (Another question that is probably too tough to answer.) If I order advertising from the market with the assurance that my ads will reach 20 million listeners and my ads are not reaching 20 million listeners, do I have fair cause to file a suit for breach of contract or not?

Nope, doesn't fly. If I order and pay for 10, I want 10. I don't want freebies.. I'm willing to pay for what I want, but I'm not willing to pay and not get what was agreed to in our contract. Breaking contracts is not the way to stay in business. Rush claims 20 million to advertisers.. he is not delivering 20 million. He will stay or go based on the $ he is pulling in. The $ will start to slow and the bottom line will be affected if he continues to lose support and that's the ONLY thing that matters in business.

If what you say is all true.. then why did Rush apologize after his three day tirade? My guess is that he got spanked by TPTB. I could be wrong though but Uncle Rusty is not well known for making apologies of any sort, yet, here, after a three day tirade, he did. You don't find that odd?

I made no such suggestion that this has anything to do with income or taxes. I directly asked if you if 33% is such an impotent number is it impotent in other areas as well? Simple analogy which you failed to answer and are now trying to spin as distraction.

It didn't work.

I am so far above ignorant that if you have failed to notice such I can only surmise that you are rather ignorant.

I have answered all of your questions and await your answers to mine.. I won't hold my breath though.

shown for the mockery that it is?
Where?
a st louis radio show that probably garners 80 % males and at worst 90% rushlovers
Im sure its nothing close to a scientific poll.
But denying 33% is relevent, is hysterical
PS recognizing intelligence seems to be a failing of yours..but as you are obviously here just to stir the shit...
Ill take it as part of the job description

I like the part where three prominent PPL "ladies" are now exerting special pressure on the FCC to get Limbaugh removed from the airwaves. Now, we have a ballgame.

This is where government censorship starts to rear its ugly head.

The unholy trinity is demanding that the FCC flex their muscle because they don't like what someone with a differing opinion says.

Gov. Palin is a "dumb twat" and a "cunt" and Maher refuses to apologize.

Laura Ingraham is a "right wing slut" and a "talk slut" and Schultz got suspended (?) per his boss for three days?

But, Rush made the mistake of having a different opinion than the PPLs and calling a young lady (who deserved it as little as the other two conservative ladies) the same word Schultz used and he deserves to get thrown off the air.

The hypocrisy runs extremely deep on the left side of the discussion.



Peace and comfort,



Michael




Sorry ...you don`t get to pick events out of the past and bunch them, to justify rush`s horrible comments.

We can go back to Nixon claiming his opponent had pink underwear or bush calling war hero John Kerry a coward and war criminal ,if you want.

rush or you don`t get to count beans and figure how much ugliness you can get away with based on what someone else says,somewhere else some time else.



rush`s advertisers aren`t counting how many times Sarah was dissed or whether Michele Obama got booed at a NASCAR race.

They are looking at rush and what he said and deciding not to associate with him any more BASED ON WHAT rush SAID.

If we're going to go all the way back to Nixon, we could bring up the treason committed by Hanoi Jane but, that wouldn't be fair.

No, my exception to this is that once again, it's a matter of people "shouting down" a person/position with whom they don't agree.

I said it, on another thread and I'll say it here: These types of people have been waiting a long time for this and Rush made it very easy for them but that doesn't mean that the government should step in or we have a very real 1st amendment issue.

Once the government comes to play, it's very much about censorship. Once they enter the fray, it's very much a matter of denying someone "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" (the ability to make a living in their chosen, legal profession) without due process.

That was my point; that once the FCC/government is involved, we have a 1st amendment conflict.



Peace and comfort,



Michael

Treason is (partially) defined as: " ...giving aid and comfort to the enemy". Hanoi Jane is most definitely guilty of that. But, that isn't the point.

The point is that if this happens, the government will be in violation of the 1st amendment. That's the ballgame.



Peace and comfort,



Michael
