Sponsors are dropping rush.

“No one with daughters the age of Sandra Fluke, and I have two, could possibly abide the insult and abuse heaped upon this courageous and well-intentioned young lady. Mr. Limbaugh, with his highly personal attacks on Miss Fluke, overstepped any reasonable bounds of decency. Even though Mr. Limbaugh has now issued an apology, we have nonetheless decided to withdraw our advertising from his show. We hope that our action, along with the other advertisers who have already withdrawn their ads, will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse.”

If true, oh thank GOD! I was sick of their commercials. They'll be replaced shortly. No worries.

How is that working out for Rush?

Disclaimer:

I'm a big believer in trying to help out those less fortunate than any of us just attempting to access decent health care.

I'm huge fan of France and Sweden on their two tier plans.

But when an activist like Fluke comes up with a BC moment for promiscuity when we really need to be subsidizing research into early dementia or multiple sclerosis or <fill in the blank> is a completely off the richter scale abhorrent moment.

First, FLuke's testimony wasn't about "promiscuity", it was about women who have valid medical need for BC medications are discriminated against by the CHurch owned businesses and their silliness.

Second, as a fiscal matter, paying for birth control actually makes sense. BC Treatment costs $600.00 a year. A Pregnancy costs $3000 a shot. And then those snot-nosed little babies keep running up medical bills until they hit 18 Or 26.

So most insurance companies HAPPILY Pay for BC options.

The Bishops weren't arguing that they were about to cure MS and they need to conserve their resources. They are saying their magic sky friend doesn't like birth control and they don't want to pay for it.

Since you brought up France, they pay for the birth control. They pay for the abortions, even. And they have less abortions than we do because 1) Birth control is more widely used and 2) when a woman does find herself pregnant, she knows that she'll have her needs met.

Link?

Everything is working out for Rush.

It's the best.

Wingnuts are soooo emotional!

If it were working out fine for him, he would NEVER have "apologized". By the way, that made it worse. He didnt apologize at all of course and now he is paying for it, literally.

Rush Beck!

Seems to be working out just fine. New ads, new voices interested in promoting on his show. I've heard no dead air or station promos the days I listened since.

Of course. There are plenty of shady online dating sites and questionable "miracle cures" that would love to fill the void left by Sears and Allstate.

From today’s TRI Newsletter: Premiere Networks is circulating a list of 98 advertisers who want to avoid “environments likely to stir negative sentiments.” The list includes carmakers (Ford, GM, Toyota), insurance companies (Allstate, Geico, Prudential, State Farm) and restaurants (McDonald’s, Subway). As you’ll see in the note below, those “environments” go beyond the Rush Limbaugh show

“To all Traffic Managers: The information below applies to your Premiere Radio Networks commercial inventory. More than 350 different advertisers sponsor the programs and services provided to your station on a barter basis. Like advertisers that purchase commercials on your radio station from your sales staff, our sponsors communicate specific rotations, daypart preferences and advertising environments they prefer… They’ve specifically asked that you schedule their commercials in dayparts or programs free of content that you know are deemed to be offensive or controversial (for example, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Tom Leykis, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity). Those are defined as environments likely to stir negative sentiment from a very small percentage of the listening public.”

Bills paid are bills paid. You been listening to the show and can account for who's replacing the ads? I hear those ads across all shows, liberal and conservative talk radio. Why would he want money from AOL/Huffpoo anyway? Oh that's right! their 'news' is now edited and provided for by the Huffypoo. why were they even advertising on his show anyway?

 

[thereisnospoon]

No, it's the fault of the big corporations that front them.





I trust the federal govenrment more than I trust corporations and markets.

Fact is, the rest of the world has single payer, universal healthcare. We're the only one who let "the market" decide who lives and who dies.

The liberal is showing his true colors.

Thanks, we will take that as a compliment.

Ok...Then why don't you pack your shit and move to the "rest of the world".
As long as there are not enough of you, we will not have socialist medicine here.
Why anyone would expect our federal government which cannot do anything within a budget and with any efficiency, to be capable to taking care of 310 million people is a mystery.
Socialized medicine is a synonym for rationed care. Essentially, every medical professional becomes a government employee. In order to create the necessary captive market, private care for payment or in fact, ANY care outside the government mandated system is made illegal. Every country that has universal insurance has patients waiting in long lines or for extended periods of time to get the simplest of procedures done that we here can get in days.
I have friends in Canada that attest to this.
Should our federal government take on such a gargantuan task, it is going to demand something in return. Higher taxes is a given. Taxes will have to be raised to confiscatory levels. Government will set up rules that will be intrusive on our personal lives as well as on business. The system will demand compliance.
Of course a gigantic bureaucracy requiring perhaps tens of thousands of new government employees.
You people who cheer lead for socialized medicine believe all that has to be done is for the federal government to pass laws mandating this and suddenly you think you get "free" unfettered access to medical care.
It does not and never will work that way.
And please, spare the nonsense about "sacrifice" or taxing the wealthy to achieve funding. That's hogwash.
"Because they have it" is not a valid reason to turn the country on it's head.
You dream of a socialist utopia where government takes care of you womb to tomb is never realized.
So you see, it is much easier for you pack your shit and find "the rest of the world".
With political me too's, nobody wins.

Thom Hartmann #1 progressive talk show host calls you and your information a liar. According to him as of the 6th it was 12 when other liberals were reporting 40 or so advertisers. So fuck off.

Why are you so invested in the the reporting of a known Liberal like Thom Hartmann?

He's a Progressive asshat he's one of your's

But why are you treating him as the second coming of Edward R. Murrow? (look him up, retard)

I thought you couldn't trust the Liberal media?

And why do I have to keep asking you the same question over and over? How retarded are you?

That's 4 questions, so you will be confused, then lash out with deflections and insults.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Which is why their sucks and ours doesn't.

Why do I get the feeling you've never been outside the US and don't even have a passport, much less speak a language other than English.

They spend less than we do, have a longer life expectancy, lower infant mortality rates, and a terminal illness does not bankrupt the family.

With all due respect, I have to call bullshit on this post.

And before you can attack me personally I speak 5 languages. English, French, Ukrainian and the most important of all I speak "Don Cherry" And last but not least...

Boomhauer.

Now let's address your post. The "rest of the world"?. You know what it takes to get "free health care" in Canada for example.

You give me 40% to 50% in tax dollars Fed money coming off your pay every two weeks, oh and 7% sales tax in Ontario for example and then add 5% for your GST.

See you can get "free health care" too.

I don't see where knowing another language besides one's native tongue is relevant. I commend you on your restraint in your reply. I would have replied with a caustic "what difference does that make?"
Anyway, these morons wishing for what they believe to be "free" medical care when tested say their main concern is for those who cannot afford care or cannot get insurance. Nonsense. They care about themselves ONLY. The want someone else to pay for their care. It's always been that way from the start of the Welfare State created by Roosevelt's Great Society. The non-producers learned it was easy to look to the producers to ( I like this one) "take care of people"....Please.
We do not hire politicians to "take care of us".

 

[Synthaholic]

The left's argument is running a little thin. We still have that Maher million dollar donation elephant in the room. Does the word "slut" trump using forged documents to try to influence an election? Dan Rather should be in prison instead of making 100k in the left wing lecture circuit.

How many documents, wingnut?

 

[Synthaholic]

Why wouldn't Rush try to stem the damage caused by the left wing's promotion of outrage for using the word slut? It's a power issue. Will Rush survive or will the tax exempt entities like Media Matters combined with the entire liberal media succeed in silencing him. I bet on rush.

Except Thom Hartmann, apparently.

[I don't give a fuck what the GOP wants Romney is a mirror image of obama.

Okay, that's fine an all, but don't go around painting yourself as this authority on "conservatism" when there is broad agreement that the system is broken and needs to be fixed. This is going to be a non-issue in November. The only issue is going to be should it be Federal or State mandates.

I don't paint my self as an authority on anything, But I do know what a liberal is and you are one. Romney actions as a governor makes him a mirror image of obama. and you are a liberal.

We don't paint you as an authority on anything, either. Or even knowledgeable.

Absolutely! The goal of advertising is to reach as large a potential customer base as possible. It's not a political statement. Advertising is to make money for the advertiser. It isn't to make money for the station or the show. It's to make money for the advertiser.

Whoever left Rush's show has turned down the largest potential customer base in the US. It's not Rush that's going to be paying the price, it's the advertiser trading off income for principle.

A few points on this.

first, we spend more than any other country in the world on health care. So it's not an issue of spending. It's how the resources are being allocated that are the problem. Private insurance has a 30% overhead of bureaucracy and profit-taking.

Second, health care is rationed now. Insurance companies were finding all sorts of reasons not to pay for claims when people paid good money for insurance. Also, 62% of bankruptcies are linked to health crises, and75% of those folks had insurance when the problem started.

I know you all "know someone from Canada" who tells you about the horrors of Canadian Health care (where, once again, people live longer and they have a lower infant mortality rate) but the ugly truth is, the Canadians have a better system than we do, and no one, not even the Conservative Party, is clamoring for an "American Style Health Care" system.

I do kind of like the German system, where they have universal coverage, but the programs are administered privately by contractors, and you find a program that fits for you. The German system, by the way, has been in place since 1888.
