Rush Limbaugh losing advertisers at an increasingly accelerated rate.

Courtesy of Liberals Unite:  

Yes, over 50 substantial Limbaugh sponsors have not been heard in months. This number is in addition to the thousands of national and local sponsors who have already pulled ads from radio’s most hateful talk show host, Rush Limbaugh. The boycotts, petitions, and protests continue to kick his ad revenue, as well as the assets of the radio networks that carry him. More and more consumers and activists are jumping into the protest via BoycottRush, StopRush, and FlushRush. 

According to the StopRush Database, here are some of the major sponsors that have not been heard on Limbaugh’s show for at least 60 days. As of April 12, 2014, they include: 

No Ads Heard For 2 Months 

Dish Network 
Discovery Channel 
Arizona Western College 
Comcast Business 
Comcast Xfinity 
Papa Murphy’s 
LA Dodgers 
Blue Emu 
St. Louis Rams 
Anaheim Ducks 
Pearl Vision 
Boise State University 
Vermont Teddy Bear 
Kent State University 
Michigan State University 
Advance Auto 
Tulsa Hurricane University 
NFL Monday Night Football 
Carl’s Jr. 
Cleveland Browns 
Miami Dolphins 
Pajamagram

Here are the advertisers who have not been heard on the Limbaugh program for 3 months:  

Sodastream 
Club Glove 
Fin Electric Cigarettes 
Mannheim Steamroller 
Kars4Kids 
Sears 
Olivet Nazarene University 
Taco Bell 
Jewelry Exchange 
National Association of Realtors 
Frontier Communications 
SweetJack 
New Vitality 
Greenlight Financial Services 
Stanley Steamer 
Chrysler

And for the last six months these advertisers have been MIA:

Midas 
San Diego University 
University College-Washington 
Oregon State University 
Income At Home 
Verengo Solar 
Taste Of Home 
San Diego State University 
Gold Bond 
Reagan.com 
University of Iowa 
Blue Bell Ice Cream 
Hammermill Paper

As the Liberals Unite page points out many of these were long time, hard core, Limbaugh supporters, and yet the boycott and barrage of negative attention forced them to jump ship, and stay overboard.

It has been a few months since I have caught part of a Rush Limbaugh radio broadcast (In fact I thought for awhile he was off the air, but according to KENI 650 he is still around.), but when last I did it seemed that ALL of his advertisers were talking about home security, internet safety, and aluminum siding for your home.

It was not long ago that Rush Limbaugh seemed to be the de facto head of the Republican party, now it seems his influence has diminished greatly. Of course so has that of the Republican party itself. 

Maybe if we keep up the pressure we can make them both go away.

    Conservatives aren’t just fighting same-sex marriage. They’re also trying to stop divorce.

      With all the stuff they are proposing - which also includes being anti women - no one in their right mind would vote for any Republican anywhere the USA!

      They are one nasty, evil group!

      I called this years ago when they went back to an anti-choice platform. I was laughed off the thread.

      So, if I may, I TOLD YOU SO!

      Whew, I feel better now. Thanks.

      But But But BENGHAZI! The GOP does not have a War on Women. Sarah Palin told me that it's the liberals who think equal pay is good who are holding women back. It's liberals who are anti-woman, because they support contraception, and only God gets to decide how many babies we have! It's liberals who are anti-woman, because because, well, just because she says so!

    Good to see so many advertisers leaving the rabid mouthpiece! Another evil, nasty person from the right!

    Jeb Bush Crashes and Burns Already as His Name Gets Booed By Conservatives

    The whole Jeb Bush as GOP savior thing isn’t going so well, as the mere mention of W’s bro brought about boos and groans from one of the nation’s largest gatherings of conservatives.

      Ernst missed 117 votes in the Iowa Senate. Only 12 of those votes were due to National Guard duty. It looks like Joni Ernst has CASTRATED her chances at winning an election. The Palin Curse strikes again. How's that 'VETTING' your endorsements treatin' ya, Sarah? You are good at picking Losers.

    Presumably Monday Night Football doesn't advertise much with anyone during the spring/summer. But if you're too big of a conservative nutcase for Carl's Jr., you might be in trouble.

  9. I expect his listeners have been leaving too. Or perhaps I should say passing on. He's not picking up as many new listeners as he's been losing either due to disgust or more probably natural causes, cancer, heart disease, alzheimer's, etc.

    As he loses listeners, he loses sponsors.

    Pretty soon he'll only have the local mortuaries advertising on his show.

    I don't figure Rush is too upset. I think he's been performance art for years now. How far can he push the envelope? I can't believe he believes half the stuff he says. It doesn't fit with other reports of him off-the-air. So now, assuming the end is near, he's learned where the limit is and will rest comfortably in retirement.

    Unfortunately every one of his advertisers could drop out today and the powers that be, meaning Koch and Co. Would pick up that obnoxious assholes tab for as long as they want to.

      Yep, and Palin too. Some companies hire well trained attack dogs to protect their business. The Kochs do too but they save a few bucks by hiring the scroungiest feral brain-damaged junk yard dogs they can find. So desperate these pitiful animals will gladly bark out of control, bite anyone on command and foam at the mouth for their keep to please their new masters.

    Remember, Limpballs now is even resorting to FREE and UNWANTED advertising! I don't remember what business it was, but when they were contacted about advertising on his radio show they said they had pulled their ads something like a whole year ago, and they were more than a little upset that he was still running them, because the business did NOT want to be associated with him! (I believe I saw an article about this just within the last month or so...)

    SO: he gives FREE advertisements, in order to make it appear as if he has not lost quite that many advertisers as he actually has!

    My favorite Rush Limbaugh quote:

    "I don't have to be accurate - look, it's not my job to tell the truth: I'm an entertainer!"

    That was sometime back in the 90's, but it pretty much says it all, don't you think?

    The Kansas KKK murderer , Glenn Miller aka Frazier Glenn Cross ran for the Missouri Senate
    seat of Kit Bond in 2010.
    The Kansas City radio station that carries
    Limbaugh ( KMBZ ) was forced by law to
    run this pervert's political ads.
    KMBZ fought running the political ads and had a disclaimer before airing the vile, racist , anti Semitic ads.
    I assume the ads ran during Limbaugh's show
    as they would be a perfect fit.
    http://askville.amazon.com/Glenn-Miller-running-ads-KMBZ/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=67508376
    My local station that carries Limbaugh
    airs prepper / anti government and survivalist ads
    during his show.
    That's the natural Limbaugh / Palin / tea party
    demographic .
    You know the Limbaugh/ Palin/ tea party
    is holding their breath because
    they don't know what will be revealed
    about this KKK guy's taste for whacko right wing
    talk radio and blogs.

    I'm surprised that no pharmaceutical companies sponsor him. His target audience are as sick as they get.

    Here's his newest rant, of course he's dazed, confused and wrong. I see he got the memo from Grandma in Arizona. Black is "slimming" The one in the link has him imitating Elvis.

    The ignorance and bias of most of the left wingers posting above is amazing. Symbolism over substance. He has a larger audience than any other political radio show host - and perhaps of any radio host period.
