Rush minus 7-8 Advertisers

[Harlowe]

Sure he's a shock radio kind of guy, but you should probably walk that line between "attenwhore" and "hateful rhetoric that hurts your bottom line" carefully. I think he's an idiot for calling Fluke a slut and a prostitute, then doubling down saying he'd buy Georgetown women aspirins to put between their knees for birth control (it was just such a golden nugget when that old fart delivered that line on tv) and that if we're paying for birth control, we want videos - but the funniest thing, is that he really doesn't even know how birth control pills work "they are having so much sex, they need so much birth control". What. An. Idiot. I think he's banking on conservative women, being feminism-hating enough to go along with him.

This should not even be a discussion about how birth control pills are used for other medical reasons, which they are, however BIRTH CONTROL alone is fucking reason enough. I have a feeling his outrage wouldn't be forthcoming if this were about viagra.

For someone that enjoyed an insurance plan to pay for his addiction and boner issues...seems pretty ridiculous.

Rush hates women because they are not 12 year old Dominican boys.

AOL parted ways now too. The other idiotic thing about this (and there are many) is that he kept talking about it as women (aka sluts) were asking for "free birth control" this isn't about getting hand-outs, this is about getting a prescription within the plan you are already paying for. This "treating women like they are second-class citizens or sluts looking for hand-outs" thing needs to end.

Now he's blaming his 3 day attack on liberals... for making him stoop to their level (that was his follow up faux-pology).

The funny thing is how his reaction is changing the more advertisers he loses.

Yep... now its an apology (of sorts). Pretty funny to see him abandon his cherished principles when it affects his bottom line.

Think Progress is reporting the number of advertisers dropping is up to 26, counting a handful that claim that any airing of their ads during Limbaugh was done in error in the first place.

I think Netflix now makes it 30.
