I know the temptation is great, but please don't tune into Rush today

[maxrandb]

There are and will be plenty of folks to monitor the ass-pickles show today. We shouldn't make this his "highest rated" show.

Kind of sends the wrong message doesn't it? He needs to be shunned, even though the temptation to hear his quivering and groveling will be great.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Don't worry. I never have and I never will.

And I am not tempted in the slightest to listen to whatever crap might fall out of his fat pie hole.

[Raven]

2. Never intended to...my stomach is not strong

enough but I am curious to see what he does. I suspect that it won't be any fun for him anymore if he has to watch his words and keep an eye on his sponsors. I think he might "retire" saying that his 1st Amendment rights have been violated.

[MrScorpio]

3. No prob

I never do

[lunatica]

4. He's going to be a gangbuster's victim today

And he won't give in. He'll take phone calls from his adoring fans and let them spew the hate today.

[Cirque du So-What]

5. How can UnclearChannel determine who tunes their AM radio to that scumbag's rantings?

It's not like there's a Nielsen box attached to anyone's radio, after all, and it'd be one helluva undertaking to call individuals to ask whether they had listened. If that *did* occur, one could just say 'hell, NO, I didn't tune in to hear what that drug-addled pedophile had to say!'

On edit: I haven't listened to that asshole forever, and if I hear that bilious toad's voice whatsoever, it's completely by accident. If others want to keep tabs on him, however, it's their business, and it's impossible for UnclearChannel to get anything other than a rough-ass estimate of listener numbers anyway.

[banned from Kos]

10. exactly my question - right down to the personal observation.

Personally, I am curious as to who his remaining sponsors are.

[JitterbugPerfume]

6. I have never tuned him in

life is to short to waste on that evil scum.

[zipplewrath]

7. No such thing

It's not TV, Arbitron doesn't have such a statistic. Individual markets might have such a distinction, but you probably won't hear much about it. And the truth is, if you aren't already involved in Arbitron, no one will no if you do tune it.

8. I intend to listen.......to get my list of local and national advertisers to boycott and contact

[kag]

18. You don't happen to be listening in the Denver market, do you?

Several of us want a list of sponsors to boycott.

[virtualobserver]

22. San Antonio and Austin .......I hope that I survive the experience though.....

[kag]

24. I've got a bunch of family in that area.

If you survive, send me the list and I'll forward it to them.

If you don't, well...at least you took one for the team.

[virtualobserver]

27. so far

My God! that whiny voice is as unbearable as the words that he belches out.
I picked the wrong day to give up sniffing glue.


National

1. Winning our future--- for Newt
2. Capital One
3. Progressive Insurance (starring Flo)

Local

31. Sent to my brothers and their wives.

Thanks for posting, and if you have more, I'll send them along.

Thanks again.

[gordianot]

20. Absolutely correct id sponsors. There is no way anyone can monitor who you listen to on radio.

I also listen from time to time to see who advertises for him and have sent advertisers many letters. When Rush utters a sponsor I boycott for life such as Snapple. Since he is still on Armed Forces radio we are also supporting him. It is not easy to know your mortal enemy.

[ewagner]

9. Won't listen

...but I can tell you this: there won't be any "quivering and groveling"...he will double, triple and quadruple down on his statements....

In his so-called apology he implied that Sandra Fluke's testimony was an "absurdity" to which he responded with another "absurdity". There was NOTHING absurd in her testimony. Her testimony wasn't about sex. It wasn't even about her. It was about denying drugs used for both birth control and hormonal control not being covered in the school's policy.

Rush didn't apologize for lying about her testimony

He didn't apologize for mocking a legitimate concern for Ms Fluke's friend or thousands (perhaps even hundreds of thousands) of woman like her to take birth control medication for medical purposes.

He didn't apologize for saying that Fluke wanted "us to pay for her sex". Or that she was "...having so much sex she couldn't afford it anymore."

He'll double down on the mock, pseudo-morality game of blaming women for having sex...because that's what the rest of the knuckle-dragging ass-holes WANT him to say.

(can you tell I'm pissed?)

[snooper2]

11. They don't know how many people are listening LOL

Unless you say, yeah, I listened on Monday on your next poll you get

The people walking around with a PPM on their hip are probably already listening to Rush anyway

[sufrommich]

12. I won't , but I'll definitely be combing the web

for info on how it went.

[southernyankeebelle]

13. You don't have to worry my friend I never tune into his show. Why work yourself up. Life is to

short.

[madokie]

14. It really won't matter as they lie about how many listeners he has anyway

In my rounds I've not heard his voice on the radio anywhere or anyone I visit. 20 years ago I couldn't say that.
Come to think of it maybe its because I've shucked the right rightwing nuts who I at one time thought of as friends who knows

[unapatriciated]

15. no problem, I have never tuned into his show.

Have no wish to give his ratings a boost. We can dissect and lambaste them after they air.
Hopefully we will see an end to his hate speech leaving him talking to himself.

[lpbk2713]

16. MediaMatters should have the encapsulated lowlights.

I was tempted to tune in just to hear him pissing and moaning but decided I don't have the stomach to tune in
even for that. I'll check with mediamatters.com later this evening just so I can get a good laugh at his expense.

[MineralMan]

17. Haven't heard Limbaugh's show for years.

I'm not likely to change that today. I'm sure there will be a number of posts here telling me what he says...

[KharmaTrain]

19. Doesn't Matter Unless You Have A People Meter...

Those are the only ones who count in radio now...if you don't have one, you need not worry...lurk in rushboland, but just do so before eating, not immediately afterwards...

[bowens43]

21. actually it's about as tempting is pushing a pencil into my brain via my eye socket......

[Arkansas Granny]

23. I have never listened to his show and I don't intend to start now.

I do wish, however, that there was a way to find out who his local advertisers are so I can let them know that I will not use their services or set foot in their store as long as they sponsor this gasbag.

[CTyankee]

25. I wouldn't listen to him if they paid me!

I'm pissed off enough when I hear his crap second hand, thanks very much...I don't think I could make it past 2 minutes of his dribble...

[NAO]

26. He's talking about "self-reliance" and bragging about turning down sponsors

he says he turns down "millions of dollars every year" from socialist companies "like General Motors".

[nolabear]

34. As the song says, that was yesterday, and yesterday's gone.

Rush is suffering from Lonesome Rhodes Syndrome. He doesn't realise he's only useful, not powerful.

[Marrah_G]

28. I would never listen to him anyway

[frylock]

29. it doesn't work that way..

merely tuning in doesn't boost his ratings or contribute to his bloated listenership numbers.

[shanti]

30. never listened, never will n/t

[Duer 157099]

32. I have to turn Randi's show off when she starts playing clips of him

Drives me up the wall, I don't tune in to Randi to hear Rush! WTF????

[HappyMe]

33. The temptation is not great at all.

I have never listened to his mindless bullshit, and I never will.
