I'm sorry to bring this thread back out, but I noticed no one had addressed McofH's question about "buying advertising".

McGrath- when someone refers to purchasing adverts for a show, it essentially means they are paying a fee to have their advertisement broadcast during a certain time slot during the broadcast of a certain show. It's pricey and there's usually a fair amount of negotiation that goes into the deal.

With a show as widely listened to as Rush's, you are definitely not going to be lucky enough to have your ad run during that time period on accident. You need to request your ad to run then, AND you'll pay a hefty price for it.

This webpage is very apropriate to this thread. If you want to protest Rush, here's how.

He certainly has their knickers in a twist, doesn't he? I guess free speech only applies when someone is saying what you want to hear.
Otherwise it's "Shut him up or shut him down."

Yes, troll, freedom of speech works only in one direction, according to the liberal creed in the U. S. Sad, isn't it?

Certainly Limbaugh's speech isn't free. It is apparantly quite expensive. I think it right that the people who disagree with him can sign the petitions to the advertisers. If Rush is costing them customers I'm sure they want to know. It think he has a right to talk. I even think he's funny in a laugh AT him, kind of way. I'm just sad that there are people who agree with and copy his horrible little brand of mean spirited stereotyping and hatemongering.

OK fellows tell us where you stand.
Will you please tell us now is it right to Boycott the Dixie Chicks or is wrong to Boycott Rush Limbaugh. Remember you can't have it both ways.

Isn't it a merely a way of exercising freedom of speech when an individual chooses to boycott a commercial organisation for doing something they disapprove of?

I may shock you all on this one, but boycott him if it your desire to do so. I boycott things that offend me.

Protesting Rush, though? That's just ridiculous. I'm not walking around protesting Tom Daschle (apples and oranges since Daschle can affect my life much more directly- the guy wields power not a microphone), Alan Colmes, or Gloria Allred. What's the point?

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. There has been plenty of mean-spirited stereotyping in this forum from people who don't agree with Rush.

Kim C, I agree with your last sentence, But people on this forum do not usually reach the same level of hatemongery and the stereotyping is less calculated. Of course hatemongering and stereotyping are not mutually exclusive they usually go hand in hand.
