Here's a link. Now it's up to 35 sponsors. Have you tried just googling Limbaugh sponsors pull out?

Also go to boycottrush.org

The whispering campaign goes back to the political contest between Jefferson and John Adams (Presidential campaign of 1800), if not a lot farther. I am sure you could probably find something like it in the politics of just about every nation and period. Whispering campaign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Senator John McCain was a target of Bush's campaign back in 2000 of a whispering campaign.

You, not you personally, can spin it any which way you desire but there is absolutely no difference being a public figure or private citizen when it comes to being berated by entertainers, other politicians or so called newspeople. Berating and name calling does the same damage to either a public or private citizen . There is no place for it on either side of the fence.

Right back at ya!! It's all in the perspective isn't it. Now how about just concentrating on the issues and cut out the personal comments.

You're turning into a first class flamethrower here.

I can "report post" as well as you. I'm paying attention.

Losing it.

Rush is da man !!!!!!!!!!!!

The DNC must be paying this guy ..... some "leftie" threw him some red meat and Rush stepped right in it.

Maybe you should take a sabbatical.

Carbonite, one of the sponsors to abandon Rush Limbaugh who was a big part of their name recognition and rise in sales, has experienced a severe backlash as it's stock is plummeting. It's investors are fleeing. Interesting, isn't it.

Carbonite | Rush Limbaugh | Sandra Fluke | The Daily Caller

I have to wonder how many of these sponsors were "looking for an excuse" to pull out and maybe make some news in doing it.

It's not like Rush has never said words like these in the past. It just seems to have raised a bigger firestorm this time around.

That fat, impotent slob is now a laughing stock and his rant against Sandra Fluke has rallied thinking women over to President Obama's side. The Dumpublicans have showed (through Limbaugh) they are against women's health issues.

Here's a pretty good column on the abundant hypocrisy surrounding this singling out of Limbaugh for the gallows tree.

It doesn't spare any punches for Limbaugh, but honestly acknowledges the abundant audacity of the left to be so shocked at his verbiage coupled with the lame-o reasons why Limbaugh saying something is so much worse than if they say it.

I think they are both pigs. No one should get a pass at such vulgar insults to anyone rather public or not. I am happy to see that this is a bipartisan agreement.

I don't think you read the article, because it mention a lot more liberals than one.

Liberal talkers are way more culpable in the defaming of women than Rush has ever been. You really should read it before commenting on it. It's advisable for any published story.

Wrong verb, but my point is no one gets a pass when you slander someone so deep.

That's just the point. The liberal talkers have been getting a pass for years. You're validating my position and I appreciate it.

I am never very clear. If there are 10 liberals and 1 conservative, then 11 people should have there donkey kicked off the air.
