No....stick a fork in them.




The stock of those advertisers who pulled out from Rush has been steadily plummeting since they did it.

Carbonite stock (NASDAQ:CARB) has plummeted nearly 12 percent, outpacing the drop of the NASDAQ index in that same time period by nine-and-a-half points. It was also one of the biggest decliners on the NASDAQ on Tuesday.

Loved the comments below that article too:




I sent the following note to Carbonite:

I nor my company will not do any further business with your company and plan on spreading the word. You pulled your support of Rush Limbaugh and therefore I'm pulling mine from you, rather than allowing the MSM or the leftist liberals to drive their agenda by elevating this issue and Rush's apology.

..where in the context of "civil discourse", were they and your group on the following similar situations:

1. President Obama's abhorrent apology on the Koran issue ?
2. Likewise, an apology from Islamic community for 9/11 ?
3. Eric Holder's apology to Brian Terry's family ?
4. Obama's apology for American exceptionalism to the world ?
5. Obama's apology for all the wasted billions on green scams ?
6. Liberals apology for all those held captive by welfare ?
7. Obama's apology to the unemployed ?
8. The EPA's apology for destroying America's business environment ?
9. Liberalism?s apology for 40 years of failed social policies ?
10. DOE apology for having absolutely no coherent energy policy ?
11. Obama's apology for lying about shovel ready jobs ?
12. Obama's apology for growing the size of the useless Fed. Gov. ?
13. DOJ apology for suing Arizona over not doing its own job ?
14. Obama's apology for running over the constitution ?
15. Obama's apology for selling America into socialism ?
16. Did Obama demand Ed Schultz apologize to Laura Ingraham for calling her a "right wing slut"?
17. Did Obama personally call Ingraham to "see if she was ok"?

The radical left/liberal socialists never apologize to Americans. It time to stop the double standard, not cave to it like your group did !

Everything after 2112 sucked anyway.


really....who cares if they don't get paid those massive royalties again?

Rush Limbaugh has an audience of 20 million on hundreds of stations. You can't tell me losing royaties from well over 200 stations every single day of the year won't hurt their bottom line. This only shows that they are liberals and stupid ones.

On the other hand, there might be 18,000 different local sponsors on "The Rush Limbaugh Show." Losing 28 advertisers is like losing a couple of french fries in the container at the drive-thru.





I hope this news brings their name back into the spotlight long enough for the R'n'R HoF to pull their heads out of their asses and enshrine them where they belong... fat chance.


Most people are going to ask "who is that?" while those who know them will yawn.

HoF? Neil Pert...maybe. The band? Not sure why you think they are good...much less HoF material. Average at best.

Awesome! I would think his theme music would be "Send in the Clowns" anyway. He's going down hard Don Imus style lol.

Actually, yeah, I can. Rush gets a flat rate from the ASCAP. Limbaugh pays the ASCAP a flat rate for their entire catalogue. What you said would be true if Limbaugh had a license for exclusively Rush, but since it's a catalogue license, Rush doesn't lose anything.




I'm sorry...thought I was debating with someone who understood how royalties work?

Yes, the "licensee" doesn't pay more than once for the license yearly, but the artist gets paid by the licensor (ASCAP) out of all monies collected for licenses whenever their song is used

Being on such a large national network playing every single day for years is a HUGE chunk of change. I have absolutely no doubt it is their largest royalty source these days.

But like someone mentioned earlier, he'll probably start playing them more now just to irk them.




Look man...I really don't care. Limbaugh is a blowhard and I haven't listened to him in years.


My point is that it is beyond hyper-hypocritical for anyone on the left to feign being offended by this LYING POLITICAL OPERATIVE SENT TO MANIPULATE PUBLIC OPINION being called a "slut" when they didn't seem to be bothered by a teenage girl being called one just because she's Sarah Palin's daughter.


You are being manipulated by people who know exactly what they're doing. If you join in the chorus, you are only being a tool for them.

I think Rush used bad taste and a bad choice of words for public airwaves, but I'll fight for his right to say it...and I'll fight for your right to disagree.

But I won't act like there isn't a LOT of hypocrisy coming from the Department of Propoganda (nbc, cbs, abc, can) when they act like this LYING POLITICAL OPERATIVE has a shred of moral integrity that needs to be defended, and I will also continue to note that they don't really give a damn about DECENT women being called sluts.

The real crime they commit is manipulating people like you into thinking this is really the issue.

I don't like you implying I'm being manipulated. Go back through this thread and find every instance where I mentioned the "issue" of Limbaugh's comments. You have no idea how I feel about this, but I'll let you sum it up for me:

I apologize if I have misrepresented your position on this.

Again my whole contention is the hypocrisy of those who act like they are offended about what Rush said, but never seem to be offended when worse things in much worse taste are said about Sarah Palin's daughter. It seems like a minor would be off limits.

And they do the same with every woman that won't stay on their plantation, then go out and get others lathered up to distract from the real issue which is: THIS WOMAN WAS A LYING POLITICAL OPERATIVE TRYING TO MANIPULATE THE PUBLIC.

They don't give a rip about women being called sluts. They do it all the time on the left and this is the first one you can point out from a conservative....and he apologized quickly about it.

Still waiting for apologies for dozens of cases from the leftists.






The advertisers have every right to choose what image they want their brand associated with as well. I'm not surprised many of them are bailing on this "blowhard" at the first sign of trouble.



That's certainly "fair" and it's fair that they lose their market share and stock value when their customers disagree with their cowardice and hypocrisy.
