Rush still has advertisers.

Let's get a list and every Thursday make it a weekly thing to remind his advertisers that his brand of repugnante diatribe has been on air long enough. Let's expand it to clear channel advertisers as long as they still carry him. He needs to go. Let's not be distracted. This is our free speech, letting businesses know that we won't support them if they continue to support his vile free speech.

So if you know the list of advertisers let us all know.

A few people keeping the fires going will be a thorn in rushes side, and if we keep the pressure up... Who knows, it took Andy Dufrane two years and two letters a week... But he got his library

Or do you suppose Stephen King or the screen writer made that part up without reference to anything really that happened in a US prison? Fiction writers tend to draw off real life, especially for side plots like that.

Even if was totally fiction, the squeaky wheel has been known to get the grease, unless ancient wisdom is mistaken. Examples of this are numerous.

And he doesn't seem to have slowed down any. I sure support remnding the sponsors he has left. He's still spewing hate...

If not, it's weird that MSNBC and the other networks keep giving him FREE advertising.

You just know that his huge ego is humiliated by this mass exodus of sponsors. Rush is not stupid and over-inflated egos tend to deflate rather quickly. Maybe this will all blow over but we can take comfort in knowing that, even if for a brief moment in time, this Bozo got reality checked. His arrogance masks his pathetic insecurities.
