http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/03/30/rush-limbaugh-my-enemies-are-lying-about-my-financial-health.htmlThe storm over Rush Limbaugh hasnt completely abated, but he appears to have weathered the worst.
While Limbaughs detractors are still pushing an advertising boycott, he has started speaking of the effort as a failure.
The opposition has been consistently dishonest in what they say about me, Limbaugh told The Daily Beast. So its no surprise they would be dishonest in their impact on my business.
After apologizing for his blunder in calling Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke a slut and prostitute, Limbaugh is said to be energized by the furor, feeling that his opposition is now seen as wanting to shut him down rather than debate the issues.

(61,599 posts)Rush and Clear Channel are spinning like crazy hoping to convince people that he's "weathered the worst." But the bottom line is advertisers. Have any returned?

(61,599 posts)Sleep Train never said that they wanted to return to Rush's show. It was Rush who said that they did and that he rebuffed them. I find that story to be unlikely. Rush is desperate for advertisers to return. He's spinning like mad.

(2,925 posts)get this,people don't despise you because of your wealth,it is your repulsive impact on some people in this country. your words are like a horrible cancer that wont quit. you serve no public good,only the moral and civil decline of a lot of people,who actually listen to you and believe the bullshit that comes out of your mouth. It isn't just the "slut" incident,it is years and years,of you,and people like you that have turned others into mean,nasty,uncaring people. So take your wealth and just go away,try to become a better person somehow. Jesus,enough.

(2,424 posts)Screw Rush. Folks that know me, know better than to bring up Limbaugh, let alone reference him to support their arguments.
Melt down his Missouri bust and make something useful out of it.

Thankyou.

(65,616 posts)calls women 'sluts' and 'prostitutes' and those were NOT blunders...SHITSTAIN meant every single WORD that came out of his mouth! Gush you cannot have a real debate with anyone...that would require you coming out of the 'safe' bubble you built up around you over the years. You have as much a chance for a real debate as Martians from the Red Planet do with the Sun. :stupid pigman:

(4,338 posts)Woudn't this imply you actually came out from your Florida enclave, and actually debate your opposition face to face? Or is it just easier to debate no one and think you are right all the time? Nevermind, I just answered my own question!

Of course when I was working out in the gym I saw a Fox headline with "Limbaugh Boycott Fails." That's their new tactic. Say it's over and hope it is so.
