32. i always wanted to teach a phrase just like that to guys who i am friends with and unfortunately

like calling people and things gay, instead of saying its gay say you arn't worthy of me calling you gay cause all the gays look better in comparison. if you are homophobic that is the upmost of insults if you arn't homophobic then not so insulting either which way not as insulting to gay people.

4. I saw in GD where he doubled down today

No great shock. Of the 3 choices (walk it back, change the subject and double down) he went for the only one his ginormous ego would allow.

Good on Quicken and the Mattress company and all others who are taking this stance.

Maybe, just maybe, he will become as much of a pariah as Glenn Beckkk.

no doubt he has no such requirement of men who get their boner pills via insurance - Rush is just the usual misogynistic piece of shit

17. And that is an understatement.

Saw where someone dug up a link where he was detained by customs returning to the US from a Caribbean holiday with a boatload of Viagra on him.

He probably needs all the help (chemical and visual) he can get. I can see how he could be 'frustrated'.

5. I exchanged emails with Kelly today

We were polite and professional in our address, and I reminded her in both emails that my patronage and that of countless others will be directed to her competitors forever unless her company removed all support from Limbaugh. She replied later with the message above. I'm proud to have done my part, and I have to say that Kelly was a pleasure to correspond with.

11. Peace frog and others, there is a talk radio station called Rushradio in the Winston/Greensboro,

shamelessly bills itself as Rush radio 94.5. See Rushradio94.5.com. They proudly ride the coattails of their pathetic hero. It might be fun to contact them now that the heat is on, and let them know how they too are associated with this perversion. I did.

35. re:Quicken Loans pulls ads from Rush Limbaugh show

Also , take a radio ratings study. Nowadays the survey company (ambatron) nielson ,Others , used paper and many folk would chalk up their fave station. Now ambitron uses a sort of digital recorder that has a automatic mic pickup. when ambatron started this , many radio station ratings went down! including a big radio station in the sanfransisco bay area. callsigns knbr .Ratings are the life blood of radio and tv stations too. The numbers show advertisors how well or not well the radio/tv station is doing This to will hit them where it hurts

44. Cool, had to go look it up. The "Portable People Meter."

"The PPM is a wearable portable device much like a pager or cell phone, that electronically gathers inaudible codes that identify the source of a broadcast, such as a radio station. Arbitron recruits and compensates a cross section of consumers to wear the meter for an average of one year and up to two years. The audience estimates generated from each monthly survey is used as the buy/sell currency for radio stations and advertisers/agencies."

Is this a temporary "until it blows over" move or a permanent commitment not to advertise on Limbaugh's show?
