Limbaugh about AshleyMadison.com: ‘We do not [accept] sponsor companies that help people cheat on their spouses’
The Cutline – 2 hrs 20 mins ago

A day after controversial "dating" website AshleyMadison.com offered to buy all excess inventory from the marketers who've abandoned Rush Limbaugh, the firebrand talk-show host said that he would never accept their advertising on his radio show.

"We do not [accept] sponsor companies that help people cheat on their spouses," Limbaugh told listeners on Thursday. "We have not accepted [their offer]. We have never run ads from [them]. We never will."

Limbaugh lashed out at Alexandra Petri, a Washington Post columnist, who wrote that Limbaugh's show had picked up AshleyMadison.com, proving that the show "targets jerks."

"It is an out-and-out lie," Limbaugh said of the report. "Nothing could be further from the truth."

Limbaugh called it a "blatant example of what journalism has become," complete with Petri's "B-I-T-C-H-Y opinion."

He added that when advertisers like Ashley Madison buy local ad time on affiliates carrying Limbaugh's show, "we call the stations and ask them not to."

snip.....

Limbaugh claims that, following his public apology, at least two of the advertisers that pulled out of his show have asked to return, though would not disclose who they are. "One of them is practically begging to come back," he said. "Everything is fine on the business side. Everything's cool."

END....

They hounded Beck's sponsor's until he had unknown entities and the Network got tired of the struggle with activists that constantly badgered Beck's sponsors.

I hope Limbaugh is in for the long run. If they pick him off, Hannity is next.

Rush DEFINES the long haul. He's been national since 1989 - 23 years - I've been a listener since the beginning. Back then, the State-Run media and the Political Elite tried every tactic known to try and shut him up. Didn't work then, and it won't work now.

Back in the mid-90's a group of us organized a Rush Limbaugh Supper Club that met monthly in Shreveport. Had a blast doing it.

He is just going to get richer, smoke better cigars, and upgrade to one of the new Gulfstream 6 private jets.

It's demographics.

I had work done on my car at the dealer. After I was bored to death, I used their courtesy PC and tried to read (read only) Liestoppers, I got a message saying it was blocked. I tried Drudgereport, it was blocked. I tried Huffington Post - and I was right in. So, you can see what it considered acceptable - and what is not.

I would speak to the owner of the dealership about that and let him know who pays the bills.

I refuse to go to the Radio and Television Correspondents Association Dinner – no one should go
by Greta Van Susteren

Another pig….and a media association has hired the pig, Louis C.K., to be their headliner for the big media dinner? Really? I am not going. I refuse to go. Everyone in the media should join me in this boycott.

The headliner of this year’s Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner is “comedian” Louis C.K. Comedian? I don’t think so. Pig? yes.

He uses filthy language about women…..yes, the C word…and yes, even to describe a woman candidate for Vice President of the United States. It isn’t just Governor Palin he denigrates. He denigrates all women and looks to the crowd to laugh.

I wonder if it has occurred to Sleep Train that Someone at Georgetown might actually need a new mattress.
