After attacking Sandra Fluke for three days, Rush Limbaugh finally apologized as sponsors started to leave. President of NOW Terry O'Neil and MSNBC analyst Krystall Ball join Ed Schultz to talk about how Rush is affecting the Republican Party (Mar. 5, 2012).
Rush Limbaugh’s disturbing tirade against Georgetown University Law Student Sandra Fluke has now cost his radio show 35 corporate sponsors, according to the Think Progress website, thanks to thousands of angry customers who have been overwhelming Limbaugh's corporate sponsors via social media.

Goodwill? that is an eye opener? I love the fact JCP stood for Ellen and not the Lush...sweet.
Good night noheart, well it's time to go. We really don't mind we lose you but you really must go, good night noheart, good bye.
Good evening, TM,
Yes, Goodwill was a nice surprise as was JCP. I am please to see Geico I really did not want to change insurance carriers.
Rush really step-in-it this time. And, in November women will not have forgotten the republicans slinking away instead of standing up to this vile bully.
Bye-Bye Rush.
wow. 35 sponsors dumped el rushbo.
i listened to rush today and yesterday.
i think he's feelin' a little sorry for himself.
bye-bye rush.
First Beck now Rush gee pretty soon who will the tea bagging republicans have to tell them to hate on? Poor paranoid racist bigots are losing their spokesmen who give them all the demented delusional talking points are going to be found walking in circles muttering to themselves like they did before Reagan let them out of the mental hospitals.
he's probably on the phone to dr. laura as we speak.
Beck admitted he is borderline schizophrenic.
Limbaugh, Sean Insanity and Bill Oreally? are still in denial. For now.
I Hope No one called ole Rushzilla a Pig! I like Pork,and all that is made of Pork,i,can't call him a man,pig,ect..they All have a Purpose...Rush has no Purpose... How Arrogant he is,, I HOPE TONS MORE SPONSORS Dump his Sorry Butt! and that the Radio Stations all Pull the Plug on Him!! Pull the Plug..Pull The Plug...Pull The plug!!!!
i have to admit that i did call rush limbaugh a pig last thrusday.
i was slower than Big Eddie in his apology to laura ingraham, in my apology TO PIGS.
These nuts are imploding themselves !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carbonite stocked dropped 12% after they pulled advertisement from Rush
the right has decided to boycott and sell their stocks in all the companies who pulled advertisements from Rush and after only a few days the effect is starting to show
So we will see who has more power the loud mouths on the left our the investment dollars of the right
Right-wing thinking is based on fear of everyone and everything.
Carbonite depends upon that kind of thing to draw customers.
liberal thinking demands obedience or they try to silence you by crying to sponsors. how many days does MSNBC have left on the air?
Bill we are not program like your are.
Poor Rush, I guess he will have to go on an diet when it comes to his drugs now!
I'm noticing a very disturbing mental health trend among GOP celebrities.

Is Racism A Mental Illness? Yes - It is a Delusional Symptom of Psychotic Disorders (National Institutes of Health)
Rush Limbaugh's behavior:
Limbaugh matches most of the symptoms for disorganized Schizophrenia listed on the National LIbrary of Medicine web site.
Is that the best you can come up with lol
Here lets take a quick look at just a small sample from these popular liberal mouth peace Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi, and Ed Schultz just on what they have said on women on the rihgt and left
During the 2008 election Ed Schultz said on his radio show that Sarah Palin set off a “bimbo alert.” He called Laura Ingraham a “right-wing slut.” he even attacked the liberal Blogger Kirsten Powers by calling her a “bimbo” for the offense of quoting him accurately in a New York Post column
Keith Olbermann has said that conservative commentator S.E. Cupp should have been aborted by her parents, He called Michelle Malkin a “mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick.” He found it newsworthy to discuss Carrie Prejean’s breasts on his MSNBC show. His solution for dealing with Hillary Clinton, who he thought should drop out of the presidential race, was to find “somebody who can take her into a room and only he comes out.”
Left-wing Matt Taibbi wrote on his blog in 2009, “When I read Malkin’s stuff, I imagine her narrating her text, book-on-tape style, with a big, hairy set of balls in her mouth.” In a Rolling Stone article about Secretary of State Clinton, he referred to her “flabby arms.” When feminist writer Erica Jong criticized him for it, he responded by referring to Jong as an “800-year old sex novelist.” (Jong is almost 70, which apparently makes her an irrelevant human being.) In Taibbi’s profile of Congresswoman and presidential candidate Michele Bachmann he labeled her “bat@!$%# crazy.” (Oh, those “crazy” women with their hormones and all.)
Chris Matthews Over the years he has referred to the former first lady, senator and presidential candidate and current secretary of state as a “she-devil,” “Nurse Ratched,” and “Madame Defarge.” Matthews has also called Clinton “witchy,” “anti-male,” and “uppity” and once claimed she won her Senate seat only because her “husband messed around.”
last but differently not lest is the worse of them all Bill Maher. I don't think i can even repeat what he has called women with out it being censored. he has called them. @!$%#s, twats, and bimbos
Now Obama today condemned Rush for using the word slut with one hand but reaches out and accepts money from Bill Maher with the other. The hypocrisy and selected moral outrage of the left is even practiced by Obama
Except no one had to make a thing up about the right they just reported on the behaviors of the right. Funny how you righties never seem to grasp that it is your behaviors that make people question your sanity and some of the stupidity of the right makes for a good comedy act. That you righties worship a dead guy who suffered from the insanity of dementia and caused delusional thinking, then elected that insane person to the office of president just shows how insane you people are. Like your other great republican hero Joe the delusional plumbers helper. Really you write the comedians show.
@TRFjr,
I understand that denial is the first symptom ;)
None of the things you point out show up on the ICD-10 classification of mental behaviors and disorders. You are welcome to look for yourself.
@TRFjr,
Trying to attribute mental illness to people that make statements you do not like is paranoia.
Disagreeing with your personal beliefs is not considered to be a mental illness or disease.
As usual, a righty can't distinguish between a comment and a 9 hour a day, 3 day unapologetic rant.
After 15 years of the same.
TRFjr - all of those comments are reprehensible and many of the men you cited have apologized or they have faced suspensions or both. Another difference is that they made one offensive comments while Limbaugh went on a three day rant, three hours per day. He also completely disregarded her actual testimony to make up a scenario that fit his deluded needs for exposure. Sorry - Rush wins the misogyny award by a landslide.
TRFjr
You forgot to mention how liberal men are given a license to molest woman as long as they are Pro Abortion, a LA Kennedy and Bill Clinton !
Thanks to all the courageous advertisers who pulled out on Rush. My leaning lady is a Rush Fan but knows I will cut to cord to her radio if I ever hear his voice in my house
For anyone who says that Ed Shultz said something stupid and nobody got mad at him (cause he's a leftie) - go search youtube and find a video of his on-air apology. That's how a Real Man apologizes for a mistake. Rush's apology was a worse insult than his initial remarks.
Ed's Apology was swept up from the left and given a free ride. His comments were no worse then rush's. Both are hate filled dinasours who belong in therapy
I wonder why the Armed Forces Radio Network is supporting Rush (for calling women sl-ts) given that 8 women just slapped the Armed Forces with a sexual harassment lawsuit today. Are the Armed Forces lawyers sleeping or just practicing malpractice?
not everyone is a decietfull liberal ma'am.

bill,
and rush limbaugh isn't deceitful by slandering Ms. Fluke?
i listen to rush frequently because i find it amusing that he doesn't know how childish and ignorant he sounds. i am slackjawed by the number of repubs who listen to his rants and take what he says as FACT.
it is unbelievable.
I think The 35 that have said we will not support you anymore Rush speaks volumes. I just hope we see many, many more. I have signed a petition for AFN, They are major and we have to continue the pressure for them to say we value women more than a loud mouth disrespectful radio show !!! Do the right thing AFN !!!!!!!!!
Hey Pam...Hope your doing well. I was raised that you treat women with respect. I never had any respect for any man that physically or verbally abuses a woman...I think it really shows their ignorance and makes them less than a man.
I think Rush deserves to get the consequences of his actions. Also, I think people the people who called Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman names should also be punished. Just wondering if there was the same outrage on this blog .....when Palin and Bachman were called bad names?
TAP,
i agree that no one deserves to be called horrible names. it definitley happens on both sides.
not that there SHOULD BE any excuses for name calling, but part of the reason for the name calling in regard to palin is that she put herself in a position that even repubs felt she wasn't qualified for. and her stance on family values was hypocritical, even by repub standards) when bristol showed up pregnant. and for all of palin's pontificating about vetting the republican presidential nominee, she was NOT vetted for veep. this decision was made by bill kristol, steve schmidt(?), john mccain, and other republicans who were thinking with their OTHER HEAD. mcCain himself said, "i picked her because i was sexually attracted to her". the whole "choosing" of palin for VP was a JOKE. however ignorant she is and was about american policy and the history of our country, she made out like a bandit!
in regard to michelle bachmann, though she does seem to be a little smarter than palin, we see with her as we did with palin, that the only important thing to repubs seems to be their positions on social issues; on guns, gays and god, birth control and abortion. i can't figure out if her husband is an example for "pray away the gay", reparative therapy, or if michelle bachmann isn't facing the truth about what he really is.
fortunately, the voters made the decision that they did not want sarah palin one heart beat away from the presidency, and they didn't want bachmann to run this country. no one deserves to be called names like rush did to miss fluke, but as a general rule, we have seen in regard to repubs, that they DO care more about social issues than they do about their nominee's intelligence.
suzette....I hear what you are saying....I agree that no one deserves to be called horrible names and there should be no excuses for it....PERIOD.
So why did the left call these two republican women names.....and there was no outrage from the left on here?
I am a Conservative and I think what Limbaugh said was despicable...but no body from the left will admit that Palin and Bauchman were verbally abused and denounce it....If they would have been men....I don't think they would have been so mistreated.....and they were definitely portrayed as stupid bimbo's by the left and they don't deserve that no matter what.....Remember no excuses.
TAP,
i "feel" it more when someone of my own party is attacked, especially in the way that limbaugh slandered Ms. Fluke. part of the reason i feel it so much, in regard to fluke, and the whole birth control, abortion issue, is that i completely disagree with their stance on birth control and abortion. they prop up their "language" with god and family values, but they use horrible language against their "victim".
you and i disagree on many things, and i cannot help but look at the hypocrisy of the republican party. we know that democrats are hypocritical also, but IN MY OPINION, i feel that repubs are much more hypocritical.
i might have heard bill maher call sarah palin names, but i did not hear any democrat with the STATUS that rush has in the repub party, slander sarah or michelle by calling her a slut or a prostitute, and pontificate about their sex lives for 3 days straight. Claire McCaskill said at the time, and again just a few days ago, that what some (bill maher?) people said about Bristol palin was wrong. i agree.
i remember when john mcCain picked sarah for his VP. the republican party immediately distanced themselves from the mud-slinging they do themselves, and say that 'satan is working through the democratic party to discredit the pro-life, bible believing christian and that god is behind the election of sarah palin. the evangelical right wing thought that the democrats were/are so jealous of sarah's excellent credentials, that they had to lie about her to make the playing field balanced.
but as the campaign went on, dem's AND repubs began to see how uneducated and uncurious about many things sarah palin really is/was. i don't know what she thought she had to do to help john mcCain win the election, but she WAS NOT UP TO THE TASK.
so, truly. sarah palin fell short in ALL areas, and i think most of the criticism was about her "ignorance". no excuses for the attacks on bristol either, but rush limbaugh said when jamie lynn spears got pregnant that the parents were to blame, and bill oreilly said, "on the PINHEAD front, 16 year old jamie lynn spears is prgnant". i have heard the right being very critical of "famous" teenagers who get pregnant, but in regard to bristol, they said the exact opposite, because this does not jive with the party of "christian family values".
as democrats we love to jump on the party of "christian family values", when they preach their values at women regarding birth control or abortion, or when they lecture gays on their sinful lifestyle, when we see over and over the same mistakes and lifestyle coming from the RIGHT. if, god forbid, sarah had been a DEMOCRAT with a pregnant daughter, we know what the right would have said about that in regard to the loose morals of the "democrat party".
the same is true of michelle bachmann. i didn't hear anyone call her any names in regard to her "woman-hood", but she got ALOT OF THINGS WRONG on her campaign for president, JUST LIKE SARAH PALIN. i think people were/are fed up with the "sarah palin's" of this world, even though we know that republicans do not appear to be so concerned with the intelligence of their nominee. they go on "whose turn it is", and they also care alot about social conservatism. and, they are proving once again that the only time they care about the deficit is when a democrat has the presidency. we hear alot about mitch daniels jumping in at the last minute, but he was responsible, in part, for all the spending under the bush administration, for putting everything on the credit card. BUT HE IS A SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE, i guess that's all that needs scrutiny NOW. all we hear about what a deficit hawk he is, but repubs don't need to look too far back to find themselves all guily of the deficit when W. bush was president.
again, the only thing i can say is that the democrats did not take after sarah and michelle the way rush took after Ms. Fluke.
this is NOT AN EXCUSE, but the democrats "make fun" of repubs for different reasons than the repubs make fun of democrats. and as we have also seen in regard to rush, and he is not the only one, repubs base their attacks on the immorality they feel that is the democratic party. they base their attacks on the fact that they think everyone should do as they do, or at least do as they say. repubs are, in my opinion, meaner than democrats.
i don't believe you will tell me that you have heard a democrat do to sarah or michelle what rush did to Ms. Fluke???
suzette....thanks for taking the time to explain your position....I can tell it was heart felt. Bottom line for me....both sides need to lay off the insults these public figures need to take some responsibility for their actions...and we as citizens should hold them accountable....we need to come together and find common ground....these rants of name calling on both sides just pushes us farther apart...
I think you are the only one on here that has came out and said that Bill M was wrong for his comments. My hat goes off to you.
Have a great day suzette.
The next company to drop him should be ClearChannel.
That'll end it.
There maybe is hope for america. Fire Rush then clean out the TP GOP out of our government.
I have listened to Rush for years I have only heard a few of the above companies advertised, the truth is these companies were advertising with local affiliates and have asked not to advertise there products while Rush's program is on. No one has lost a dime including Rush. You libs believe anything msnbc tells you.
This from a "ditto head".
Rush has been bragging all day that those sponsors mean nothing considering that he still has over 150 sponsors. I would love to see a list of those who are sponsoring the Rush Limbaugh show. Considering that women are consumers and run households, they probably out spend men. Nothing good comes from this continued attack on women that is coming from the Republicans or from this woman hating pig.
