Dear convicted drug addict Rush Limbaugh, F*CK YOU!!   

To date, over 50 advertisers have stopped paying Rush Limbaugh to spread his hateful, fact-free, sexually-obsessive tirades. Here are some stats from Daily Kos:

>> A total of 86 ads aired during WABC's online streaming broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show yesterday;

>> BUT, 77 of those ads were public service announcements donated free of charge by the Ad Council;

>> Of the 9 paid spots that did run, at least 7 were from companies that have said they are taking steps to make sure that their ads never appear again on the Rush Limbaugh program;

>> WABC's online feed included more than 5 minutes and 30 seconds of completely dead air (when ads would normally have run).

In closing, I'd like to say "Ha Ha!"

[P.C.]

I second your Ha Ha, and raise you a Ha Ha Ha Ha !

Although the nonstop headlines have died down, Rush Limbaugh's "slut" comments about Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke are still reverberating, with the New York Times reporting today (//vny!://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/14/business/media/ad-boycott-dents-limbaugh-shows-bottom-line.html?_r=1) that this week "new evidence emerged that the ad boycott was costing Premiere Radio Networks — the show's syndicator — money, though the total amounts are unclear."

The sustained push-back against Limbaugh can be largely credited to liberal groups like Media Matters for America (//vny!://mediamatters.org/), whose homepage this morning rotates between three stories: "The Habitual Dishonesty Of Rush Limbaugh," "Rush Limbaugh's Denial," and "Who's Advertising On Rush Limbaugh?"

Following their lead, the campaign has persisted on blogs and social media, with advertisers being targeted directly, one by one. By Media Matters's count, 51 sponsors have publicly bailed from Limbaugh's show, while Politico (//vny!://www.politico.com/news/stories/0312/73998.html) puts the number closer to 100.
