Statistics Show The End is Near For Rush Limbaugh

I know, who cares? But I think this is delicious, finally!

  this? Again?

Sideshow antics aside, the real reason the Rush Limbaugh Show is doomed is simple: businesses don't want to risk alienating customers who will be using their brands for the next 50 years to appease an aging Limbaugh demographic that likely will be dead in the next ten years or so.

So... no real stats... jusy hopes from the wish factory that is the leftist cause?

2. [b]Actual commercial advertising is just a way for the Kochs, rightwing organizations, Heritage-type foundations, and PNAC types to get someone else to pay for what they want.[/b] The worst thing for them would be to have to underwrite his show and the rest of the rightwing hate shows themselves.

Thing is, they will. As long as Limpbough and the rest of Hate Radio does their bidding. [u]What has disappeared is liberal talk radio.[/u] [glow=red,2,300]There's no equivalent financial support to underwrite liberal shows. [/glow]

We'll never be rid of the rightwing hatemongers.

6. He doesn't care

He would just claim the gays ran him out of business and sucker dumbass republicans to donate millions to his cause, kind of like that bigoted pizza shop in Indiana.

The BIG LIE is still in play.

17. My GF works as station manager for three stations in our town (approx 50,000) Rush has been a fixture for years. I hated it, but the station is basically controlled by the advertisers (they place ads in shows they pick), and she nor I had any say.
Imagine my joy when she told me that Rush and Hannity are finally being dropped (to be replaced by a Classic Country station).
This group of stations (Cherry Creek Radio, a privately owned group) has about 45 stations in small towns in the West.
Goodbye Rush.... At last.

A radio bouncy? Have we ever had one of those before?

[ExGeeEye]

Doomed?

What, again?

Poor guy...

I'll take some of that doom for him...I take cash, checks, paypal...

[txradioguy]

I think BLS is one of those 10 people that spam the Internet with the anti Rush campaign BS.

We're going to need radio cops, and radio bushes.

If Rush goes off the air before these DU-folk die it will be due to his choice or his death of old age. Fools like this have been proclaiming that Rush's sky is falling since 1987. And Rush has been laughing all the way to the bank, not worried about being hit on the head by a piece of his sky.

What I don't understand is how, after nearly 3 decades of proclaiming Rush's imminent doom, these whackjobs still get an audience among libs and Progs.

[jukin]

I hopw Rush has planned properly because it looks like he only has another 24 business hours left.

[SarasotaRepub]

Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Why the **** should you have any say in what the station does? You aren't an employee.

Are you implying that you control what your girlfriend thinks and does, even at her job? What kind of controlling anti-equal rights creep are you?

The DUmmies girlfriend is on the lowest rung of management at a radio station or broadcast group group...the program director.   I know cause I've been one. And if she is the PD for the local talker she's really not doing much these days.   Local sports in the evenings and the morning show is about all she has control of. And even if she didn't like Rush...her Operations Manager...the General Manager and the Sales Manager...not to mention the audience would all tell her to pound sand.

Limbaugh has proven to be more teflon/bulletproof than Bill Clinton. O'Reilly the same.

The degree of success of larger-than-life personalities like Limbaugh, O'Reilly, and Coulter is directly proportional to how much they annoy the left, but the left never gets that. They are under the mistaken impression that extreme outrage will kill these pundits, but that outrage only makes them more attractive to their base -- drug addictions, lies, respectively, and voter fraud notwithstanding.

(EDIT: the word "respectively" was added to make it clear who I was accusing of being a drug addict, liar, and fraud.)

Voter fraud has been proven and convictions been handed out to several democrats. Lies? Yeah, Obama has told more than his share and conservative commentators call him on them. The left hates that. Drugs? Yep, Obama has that covered too.

What lies has Limbaugh told specifically?

[BuzzClik]

LOL! Please.

I just said that criticizing Limbaugh energizes you guys, and look at you getting all huffy!

QED

Yes please LOL.

I'm not huffy...I just asked a simple question.   

You threw that in at the end of what I quoted.

So tell me...what lies has Limbaugh told?

Either defend the statement or retract it.

Proof of that outrage and its power can be seen in the nearly million dollars donated to the Memories Pizzaria.

And since dropping Rush, Carbonite has had struggled just to keep even.

Asking that question is about as dangerous as asking, "Did Al Gore say anything inaccurate in An Inconvenient Truth?"

Enjoy! It's just the beginning, but I won't go further.

Dingy Harry thought that he had el Rushbo on the ropes too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phony_soldiers_controversy

Rush is still riding high behind the golden EIB microphone.


And how's Dingy Harry doing these days?

This guy was one of Al "Global Warming Is Real" Gore's professors. I think Gore skipped class, a lot.

Revelle: I estimate that the total increase [in CO2] over the past hundred years has been about 21 percent. But whether the increase will lead to a significant rise in global temperature, we can't absolutely say.

Omni: [If it happens], what will the warming of the Earth mean to us?

Revelle: There may be lots of effects. Increased CO2 in the air acts like a fertilizer for plants. . . . you get more plant growth. Increasing CO2 levels also affect water transpiration, causing plants to close their pores and sweat less. That means plants will be able to grow in drier climates.

Omni: Does the increase in CO2 have anything to do with people saying the weather is getting worse?

Revelle: People are always saying the weather's getting worse. Actually, the CO2 increase is predicted to temper weather extremes.

Politifact got a LOT of those wrong.  For example when he said last names are getting rarer and rarer, he did not say just "rare."  It was pointing out a trend.

But we know Politifact breaks left anyway.  You better come up with a straight FACT that was an intended lie.

Two things: Limbaugh is a documented lying sack of shit. Books have been written... But, the reality is that I didn't accuse Limbaugh of lying. I accused him of being a drug addict. I accused O'Reilly of lying and Coulter of committing voter fraud.

(I'm editing my original post to make that clear. But, don't get me wrong -- Limbaugh's lies are famous. And don't give me the "come up with a straight FACT that was an intended lie" bullshit unless you intend to go on every thread where I've been called a liar and tell these jackasses to back off.)

Did Obama lie when he said "If you like your healthcare plan,you can keep your healthcare plan'?
A simple yes or no question.

[thundley4]

Did Obama lie ? when he said "If you like your healthcare plan,you can keep your healthcare plan'?
A simple yes or no question.

And the answer would still be yes.

I've got my healthcare plan.

So, nope.

Accused? J'Accuse?

Are you saying that people who are addicted to prescription pain medications are bad?

Untrustworthy?

Evil?

Lowly?

To be despised?

Careful, Cap'n Buzz. There be mines in this water.



Your friends on Skins' Island are watching.

Limbaugh sure as hell said all that.

I will give him credit for eventually admitting his addiction and getting help.
