Rush Limbaugh has lost more than 30 national and local advertisers on his syndicated radio program since calling Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" and "prostitute." JC Penney and Capital One are now among the companies that aren't advertising on Limbaugh's program, according to story by Inside Radio. Media Matters, the liberal watchdog group, is keeping a list that says Limbaugh has lost 36 advertisers as of Tuesday. Limbaugh has apologized to Fluke on the air and in a written statement for his remarks last week, which were directed at her because she spoke out in favor of President Obama's birth control policy. While some Republicans have noted it was appropriate for the conservative icon to apologize, others such as Sarah Palin say Limbaugh has been subjected to a double standard. "I think the definition of hypocrisy is for Rush Limbaugh to have been called out, forced to apologize and retract what it is that he said in exercising his First Amendment rights," Palin told CNN on Tuesday night. "And never is ... the same applied to the leftist radicals who say such horrible things about the handicapped, about women, about the defenseless. So I think that's the definition of hypocrisy. And that's my two cents worth." One thing to note about the advertising: Some companies buy time directly on Limbaugh's show. Others instruct their ad agencies to buy what's known in the industry as run of schedule time, meaning their commercials run at different times of the day for several days -- so they could appear on a certain program one day and not the next. Two radio stations -- WBEC in Pittsfield, Mass., and KPUA in Hilo, Hawaii -- have dropped Limbaugh's program. And musician Peter Gabriel wants Limbaugh to stop using his hit song, Sledgehammer, on the radio program, according to CBS News.

If Limpbaugh had any guts he would have gone on the air the first day this boycott nonsense started and told his followers to boycott any advertiser that dropped him because of leftist pressures. He's got the microphone,he's got the airwaves,and he's got the followers to pull this off. What's he's lacking is the courage to go for it.
He's got the microphone,he's got the airwaves,and he's got the followers to pull this off. What's he's lacking is the courage to go for it. LOL! That 'ol green eyed monster got ya stinky? YOU ain't got the balls, or the brains, to tell the world what you believe to be the truth three hours a day five days a week for decades. That, and the FACT that nobody gives a d@mn what YOU think about anything. YOU are a follower not a leader stinky. LOL! FUNNY sh!t!
You know nothing about me. Or about having balls. I do think it is amusing a poser like you is in love with a poser like Limpbaugh,though. Hoping he will take you on one of his DR holidays to pick up Dominican boys and share his big bottle of Viagra with you? Or maybe he will take you out on his yacht so you can be shipmates? Maybe he will call you "my little buddy" and you can call him "skipper"? I'm betting you both would like that.

The pharmaceutical industry should hire you as a poster boy for why drugs are necessary. You can serve as an example of what happens when distrubed people refuse to take their meds.

My apologies. I wasn't aware that you are queer for him.
When did that ever happen? Anywhere other than in your alleged mind,that is.
Did you ever Google Rush Limbaugh Gay? That >>queery<< comes up with a wealth of information. First, I want to get one thing straight. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't even mention Rush Limbaugh being gay. If it weren’t for the fact that he is a hateful, homophobic hypocrite, I would never mention it. I’m for gay rights, gay marriage, and gay everything. Conservatives run on “family values”, when they in fact do not live “family values.” Take serial cheater, Newt Gingrich and Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, both who talk about family values when trying to push their agendas on Americans. Between the two of them, there are seven marriages. Now, that’s family values, wouldn’t you say? The ironic thing is that Rush Limbaugh and many prominent conservative Republicans who egg them on are closeted homosexuals themselves, people who say things that aren’t true to their beliefs – people who don’t believe in what they say, but they say it for professional and financial gain because their political positioning allows them to prosper by saying them. They know how to appeal to the racist and homophobic sentiments that unfortunately linger in this country, and they have no shame in condoning these sentiments. They egg on middle-class evangelicals and other “social conservatives,” whom they care little about in reality. It’s a money game for people like Limbaugh. Is Rush Limbaugh Gay? Take a look at this kiss between Rush Limbaugh and the latest Mrs. Limbaugh. Have you ever seen a more fake kiss? Her lips are hard and closed. There’s not even a look of fondness in her eyes. Actually, it’s a look of “my God if this doesn’t stop, I’m going to vomit in her eyes. So this is the latest beard for Limbaugh, a woman who no doubt values wealth a great deal more than self-respect. So here’s all the “evidence,” rumors, what have you of Rush Limbaugh‘s gayness. Who cares if it’s the truth? Rush Limbaugh has gotten rich and made a career out of spreading lies and misinformation and more lies and misinformation. Rush Limbaugh was arrested for carrying Viagra without a prescription to the Dominican Republic, on a trip without his wife (a wife who never shared his bed but instead lived a few streets over and only got together with him for social engagements). Rush was detained for more than three hours at the Palm Beach International Airport after customs agents found a bottle of Viagra containing 29 “Blue Pills” prescribed to someone else in his luggage. The Dominican Republic has a reputation for being gay travel friendly with opportunities of discrete sex with local boys and men. Indeed, the Dominican Republic is one of the biggest sex tourism destinations in the world, thanks in part to Internet sites that extol the country as a “single man’s paradise.” ‘Bend Over And Touch Ankles’ — Is Rush Limbaugh A ‘Closet’ GAY FASCIST? It seems that our ole good buddy — and of course one of my favorite whipping boys — professional blowhard (I use the term advisedly–read on) fat-boy drug-addict draft-dodging chicken-hawk multi-millionaire and multi-married Rush Limbaugh was once fired from Pittsburgh radio station KQL, where he worked under the pseudonym of Jeff Christie, after soliciting … gay sex! One Pissed Off Veteran Rush Limbaugh’s Top Anti-Gay Quotes One of the items is whether Rush Limbaugh is gay. Here is a picture of him getting kissed by drag queen Elaine Lancaster, who is obviously out of drag in the photo. What do you think? Is Rush Limbaugh Gay?

Rush Limbaugh aka Jeff Christie
Here, in his “Jeff Christie” phase, Rush Limbaugh worked under an assumed identity, as do many self-loathing, closeted homosexuals. After being arrested for soliciting a gay man in Pittsburgh, Limbaugh was fired from KQV radio, according to numerous sources. Biography on Pssht
In mid-2004 Rush and his third wife, Marta Limbaugh, filed for divorce. A British source has recently learned that Marta agreed to avoid disclosing Rush’s closeted homosexuality, or penchantfor child pornography, in exchange for a hefty divorce settlement. Biography on Pssht
