Rush Limbaugh has finally jumped the shark - advertisers abandoning him

[Riot]

His feeble attempt to apologize was only cuz the sponsors were bailing, he looks like the PROSTITUTE now cuz he's only whining now for $! Makes me sick!

Media Matters reports that today Limbaugh was attempting to get his audience to hang in with him, and was not-too-subtly urging them to attack the sponsors who have abandoned him. He was blaming the left for causing him this problem, and saying that they (his former sponsors) are attacking his audience.

Rush is an experienced snake-oil-salesman - huckster. He knows his audience. The GOP is still too scared to come out and condemn him.

Clear Channel completely supports Rush in this.

Edit: 10th and 11th advertisers drop Rush: SEARS announces late today that they will not allow any advertisements to appear on his show (they bought general station advertisments) and today singer Peter Gabriel is having his lawyers send a note to Limbaugh demanding he stop using excerpts from the song "Sledgehammer" on his show. Bonobos, men's outfitters, also drops Rush.
