Limbaugh Is Losing! With Each Hateful Word, More Sponsors Leave. (300 Left Last Month) Total: 2,500
“We wanted to know who her owner was, and we wanted to know how much he got for her…. She might have outlived her usefulness on the plantation,” Limbaugh declared. “I mean, [you] never know, child-rearing years are over so maybe her value had plummeted.”
~Limbaugh, February 14, 2013 in reference to Black US Congresswoman, Shelia Jackson Lee
He thinks he’s getting away with comments like these. He’s not. Last month I published a diary about his sponsors leaving, http://www.dailykos.com/… and it received over 18k facebook likes/shares. People are hungry - starving to see him go, and thousands of consumers are contacting his sponsors via StopRush.net and signing petitions like the one below. Organizations like Daily Kos, UniteWomen.org, Planned Parenthood, Media Matters and other groups, are exposing Limbaugh for who and what he is: a racist, sexist, gay-hating, lying bigot. This is not me, ‘name-calling’. This is truth in media, and backed up by Limbaugh’s very own words in audio/video.
The good news? In one month, over 300 more sponsors have pulled ads, now totaling over 2,500. (This does not count the 800 or so who have ‘left quietly’) Limbaugh now averages a loss of 10 sponsors per day. To make up for these sponsorship losses, it is known he has been subsidized by outside sources including FreedomWorks (backed by the Tea Party). And I’m betting he is having to subsidize himself, to stay on the air.
