That radio station has more than 16,000 national and local sponsors with a long waiting list of those who specifically want their ads to air during his show -it is impossible for them all to advertise during his show so they have a waiting list and pay top dollar for getting air time during his show. You are talking about a handful of sponsors who asked to have their ads NOT air during his show but still are station sponsors and a couple who dropped the station itself. But they failed to mention that the station picked up more than 50 new sponsors including three national ones who immediately took advantage of the flap and paid big bucks for air time during Limbaugh's show. Also no mention of the fact one of the sponsors that initially left then changed their mind, wanted back and were rejected and told to hit the road. There is no shortage of sponsors for this guy's show and his ratings are now higher than before.
ABC has been the train behind this manufactured story pretending something big was going on here hoping to be instrumental in destroying this man and his radio show. Nothing going on and in fact the turnover rate of sponsors is less than average for a radio station.
Let's just check on your own integrity or lack therefore and more likely your blatant hypocrisy. Did you hope to see Bill Mahr destroyed with the loss of his career? Or in your mind, does hiding behind "entertainer" give someone far greater leeway to air their hatefilled, extremist, radical political views and pretend it falls under "comedy" to call a VP candidate a "c-nt"? Any problem with any number of prominent liberal figures referring to a variety of conservative and Republican women as "slut, c-nt, whore"? Of course not. Republican and conservative women DESERVE such treatment, right -because none of that ever bothers the left who immediately come out screeching "FREE SPEECH" and all when people object to it, including even when the victim objects. But defending it is suddenly NOT on their list when it is their ox being gored though, huh? Then it is UNACCEPTABLE and requires the personal destruction of the person who dared utter it.
I'm sorry but everyone knows the left believes engaging in filthy, disgusting, uncivil, hatefilled, personal attacks and demeaning speech is the sole right of the left and see no inconsistency whatsoever for excusing far worse (and far more routine) from their own while demanding the head on a platter of anyone with other political views who also does it. The stench of the double standard is vomit inducing in normal people.
