Rush Limbaugh Boycott Gains Steam
   
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Rush Limbaugh's imitation of the Chinese language during a recent speech made by Chinese President Hu Jintao has stirred a backlash among Asian-American lawmakers in California and nationally.

California state Sen. Leland Yee, a Democrat from San Francisco, is leading a fight in demanding an apology from the radio talk show host for what he and others view as racist and derogatory remarks against the Chinese people.

In recent days, the state lawmaker has rallied civil rights groups in a boycott of companies like Pro Flowers, Sleep Train and Domino's Pizza that advertise on Limbaugh's national talk radio show.

Rush is losing share in that coveted Chinese Communist demographic.

Rush would go through the roof if China actually allowed a free press

I've seen more steam generated from trying to boil a pot of water with a disposable match.

If they get all of Rush's democrat listeners to boycott him he'd lose a significant amount of listeners. That wouldn't matter though because they don't spend any money at his advertisers anyways.  :fuelfire:

Sure. Limit free speech DUmmie. ::) After all, that is what you want, right? Only when it benefits you and the left.
Be careful what you wish for DUmmies.

We haven't heard much about Rev. Al or The Reverend Jackson lately. Apparently the White House is sucking all the oxygen out of the race-baiting business.

Hey DUmmies. Where was your support for Chinese people after this happened?

Oh that's right, she's a fat liberal cow that shares your views, so it was okay.

California, no doubt, but then it's probably too late to save Californistan anyway, I just wish we could buil a wall around it and make the Uber-Libs, academics, and La Raza deal with the chaos they've created instead of fleeing elsewhere when it finally goes tits-up and infecting anyone else.  Nationally, the ire of Asian-American lawmakers is a fart in a thunderstorm, even if the premise was true.

The VRWC research and development department is makin' great progress in our earthquake makin' machine, so my advice is buy land just west of Tahoe. That is, if ya wanna live on the beach! I prefer the mountain valleys myself, as the VRWC polar ice melting device is near completion and sea levels are likely to rise in order to flood NYC.

It's likely that dittoheads by the tens of millions will tune out if they're asked to by a Chinese democrat from San Francisco. This is a tipping point. Rush has crossed the Rubicon. The demchink has thrown down the gauntlet. And so it goes....

Okay but what do we do about Camp Pendleton, Miramar and 29 Palms? It would be torture to leave our Marines in the land of Latte's and metrosexuals.

"I want an apology at the very least," said New York Assemblywoman Grace Meng, a Queens Democrat. "Making fun of any country's leader is just very disrespectful for someone who says he is a proud American."
She said it reminded her of something the Shrub would do. The Chimp was known for insensitivity, as were the senile Raygun and Tricky Dick.
