Limbaugh Boycott?

  1. When you people who don't listen to Limbaugh anyway finish with your "boycott" - let me know.

    I am going to organize a boycott of the new Rob Schneider show. I don't watch it myself but I find the very idea of the show an offense to any thinking person.

    I'm with you all the way on the Rob Schneider thing. The times I've stumbled into seeing him, I think about his execution, and find myself in favor of it.

    Limbaugh will say anything for a ratings spike, and his followers and the general curious, like rubberneckers at a car crash, will tune in. What will he say next? Who cares. Limbaugh and his devotees are a reason why we can't have serious debate in this country.

    The boycott is of his advertisers.

    I thought the idea was that advertisers were going to boycott, no?

    That's what did Glenn Beck in so it's not unheard of. Beck's problems were his demographics.

    There's only one issue, so it's hard to ignore it. Obama has stressed that the auto industry is back, which it is. He's been more circumspect on the rest of the economy.
    As far as can be foreseen, the U.S. economy is on its continued slow (but maybe a little faster) growth track for 2012. Paradoxically, the events most likely to disrupt that path, the European financial crisis and possible war in the Middle East, give Obama opportunities to take actions and look like a strong leader. But I am of the opinion, which sure as hell can be wrong, that neither of those situations will go into catastrophe mode. This year.
    PS: Chris, all Americans of whatever political ideology hate Rob Schneider. He brings us together.

    Yeah but Beck worked for NBC. Who's going to fire Rush?
     
  8. Boom - why bother? People who have no idea like to hear the sound of their own voices.

    Rush goes on as long as he feels like it...as long as radio stations keep picking him up, and advertisers keeps signing up. A boycott would sure affect the latter half of the equation, and perhaps the former, if radio stations can't sell their local spots.

    Nevertheless...probably just a tempest in a teapot.

    XM radio would pay him millions if all failed.
