The Boycott Limbaugh Movement continues to build momentum, while Limbaugh's show meets new competition.
(How can you help? See this page)

I love it when a plan comes together ... as it were.

I leave my "post" for a couple of days and come back to an even better world! As we have all said in the beginning, this movement to clean up the rhetoric of our national conversation won't happen over night. Consider that Premiere and Clear Channel were all excited a couple weeks ago, touting in press releases that the Rush Limbaugh boycott failed and "He" would go on for ever. This was all reinforced by lazy journalists who simply regurgitated those press releases into articles sprinkled with an interview given by the PR people who created them calling it news.

But truthfully, as we said last week, the grassroots movement is growing as more people jump on board to do what they can to help.

It is difficult, however, to publicly quantify success without subjecting many small local companies to the tyranny of Limbaugh fans. We don't publicize the lists of HUNDREDS of sponsors who are alerted by volunteers that their advertisements were placed on Limbaugh's show- (as local ads are used to fill empty advertising slots)- who then contact the local station and insist they be moved. These people thank us for alerting them, and quietly their ads are never played on his show again.

In the mean time, the quality of Rush's national advertisers has gone from name brands we all know, to ads for obscure products and services, the kind that play on late-night TV infomercials, erectile dysfunction and other supplements, and companies that seem to build their brands around the extreme right wing conservative audience like Generation America, a company that bills itself as the conservative alternative to AARP.

It's hard to believe that these companies are paying the same ad rates as the previous national brands, who have canceled advertising on Limbaugh's show who appealed to a wider audience. This HAS to be hurting someone's pocketbook. Bain capital, Clear Channel, Premiere?

And now, to make matters worse for Rush, a radio station in PA may be, and some sources are saying WILL be, dropping Limbaugh, who will move to a lower watt Christian FM station. His replacement would be a more moderate commentator:

Rumors of Major Syndication Changes in Philadelphia and New York; Smerconish to Bump Limbaugh from WPHT. And possibly more than that…but first things first. A very hot rumor out of Philadelphia has WYD Media-produced Michael Smerconish’s nationally syndicated program airing live 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm on CBS Radio’s news/talk WPHT– where Premiere Networks’ Rush Limbaugh does right now.

Stories about this move are coupled with the fact that Limbaugh's new competitor, Mike Huckabee's show debuted Monday in the same time slot as Limbaugh offering a less hateful alternative in the right wing talk show genre. Could Limbaugh be dreaming of smoking a stogie on the golf course and spending more time with wife number four and their little blue pills?

Stay tuned.

Help us in this effort - we still have many areas where we need listeners and we can always use more people to help contact advertisers on our lists.Please look at this page,and find your niche in this fight. As we say, give a little or a lot of of time, every bit helps!

UPDATE! So many people have asked how to get involved we put this list together; we can do this!

Despite what Clear Channel wants you to think, the national grassroots effort to boycott Rush Limbaugh’s sponsors is working in its own quiet way.

Actually, the effort has been more about notifying advertisers than boycotting.

Every day volunteers grit their teeth and listen to Limbaugh’s hate-filled lunchtime show on hundreds of affiliates across the country. They keep track of who is advertising, creating lists with varying levels of details, from just the names of advertisers to the actual times the ads ran. (See recent posts and the pages on our blog, boycottrushlimbaughssponsors.com for many of these lists.) Some volunteers will do the research needed to find the contact information for all of the businesses on their lists, others simply include the names. They give their lists to websites and facebook groups where, in some cases, more hard working volunteers are finding all of the contact information and entering data into master lists. The lists are shared across the internet in many forms, posted by facebook pages, websites and blogs maintained by even more volunteers. And still more volunteers use those lists to contact sponsors and let them know their ad was heard on a local radio station. In some cases volunteers are spending hours a day working at all of these tasks.

None of this is being coordinated by a some left-wing organizationas Limbaugh and those who are bound to him with contracts, like to maintain. This is pure grassroots; a grassroots effort that has grown via social media to involve thousands of people, and is still growing!

More often than not, when a company is notified that their ad was heard on Limbaugh's show, often by many people, a representative will respond that they were unaware their ad was placed in a spot on Limbaugh’s show. This is most likely true and easy to remedy, they simply contact the station playing their ad and insist it not be used to fill open slots on Rush Radio's mid-day hate-fest. If this is what they want - they pay for the ads - then they can get it done.

The various groups keeping track of advertisers have been careful about proclaiming victory when smaller companies take the steps necessary to be removed from Limbaugh’s show as this might draw negative attention from Limbaugh’s "dittoheads®.”

But there are records of these advertisers. We know when an advertiser stated they were moving their ads and yet continue to have ads placed on Limbaugh’s show. We know when an advertiser declares they want their ads on Limbaugh’s show. And, we know when advertisers stop running ads on Limbaugh’s show for good.

When a company continues sponsor the show, intentionally, the name and information will be added to a list that will be posted here shortly: the list of companies to BOYCOTT. We intend to begin doing a feature post about each of these companies in the coming weeks, beginning with those national companies who've decided to stand by Rush.

We can tell you first-hand, the numbers of advertisers asking local stations to have their ads taken off Limbaugh’s show is growing. Most of those company's names won't be published in the press, so the fact that this number is growing at the rate only a few of us can see won't make the headlines. But those numbers are increasing, daily.

It won’t happen over night, we all know that, we are aware of length of the road ahead. But Limbaugh's hate -filled rants and daily vitriol aimed at minorities, women and anyone who doesn't fit neatly into his demographic of unhappy, angry white men between the ages of 25 and 60 provide incentive for the growing movement of volunteers. We all know that El Rushbo's days of ruling his "dittohead nation™ "are numbered.

Volunteer.

Help us clean up the rhetoric that has inflamed and divided our nation for too long.

You can do a little or a lot, but every little bit helps!

If you'd like to help, please send us a message by leaving a comment or to email us and we will head you in the right direction.

Please use these lists to make contact w/sponsors whose ads played week of April 2 -04/04 and those from the week of March 26 who haven't yet confirmed they have pulled their ads from Rush's show. Some may have said they weren't aware their ads were on the show, but until they are NO LONGER ADVERTISING They will be on this list. There is a short list of national sponsors who continue to advertise w/Limbaugh - those are listed here

If you are willing to listen to the Rush Limbaugh show on your local station and keep a list of advertisers we'd appreciate it of you share those lists with us - submit your lists via comments.

Please send emails, use facebook and twitter and contact forms. Try to be polite; if you're doing this, you know why they shouldn't be advertising on Limbaugh's show. Remind them they are on lists all over the Internet. There are many other sites like this one, posting lists. The more they are heard on Limbaugh's show, the more they will hear from people all over the country. Do they want their brands associated with misogyny, racism and hate? We are interested in the responses you receive from sponsors, please share them via comments. http://www.addictinginfo.org/... target="blank">Remind them of some of the hateful, racist, ethnic, anti-Semitic, misogynistichttp://www.addictinginfo.org/... target="_blank"> things he's said over the years. Tell them we need them to help change the way we speak to each other. We need to change the national rhetoric. Speak from the heart.

If they respond that they didn't know or don't want their ads to play on Rush's Show please check this page, that may be true but they can do something about it.

Also see these larger longer for individual stations:

Many of us are making purchase decision based on these lists. I am considering canceling my cable account, because Xfinity has is back on national lists.

Listening to Limbaugh and Wishing I'd Skipped Lunch

Community (This content is not subject to review by Daily Kos staff prior to publication.)

Wednesday April 04, 2012 · 2:06 AM PDT

2012/04/04 · 02:06

Monday, my assignment was to listen to Rush Limbaugh on the Boston Station Talk Radio 1200. The signal was weak; I had trouble getting the station to come in where I was working so I listened to it on computer via iHeart Radio on Talk 1200's website.

Most of the ads were national sponsors, local station promos and FREE Ad Council Ads (this is your brain; this is your brain on Limbaugh.) Perhaps the Ad Council ads would be good for some of his listeners; self proclaimed DittoHeads will benefit from the promotions for help with addictions like gambling, smoking and sugar, healthy eating, exercise (get up off the couch) help with foreclosures and so on.

I did my homework, the list and record of ads are here, and the national sponsors referred to are here.

I haven’t really listened to Rush's show before. And, just like that time I ate hot dogs and drank a huge slush before that centrifugal carnival ride when I was 12; I was wishing I hadn’t had lunch before tuning in to that hate and ugliness. I felt ill.

In the little bit of his rantings that I could digest, I listened to him discuss the Trayvon Martin Case, repeatedly comparing Zimmerman to Richard Jewel and accusing NBC of making a “race issue” out of the shooting. He implied quite a bit, (and overtly to those of us who don't regularly drink his lunchtime koolaid), that Zimmerman isn’t really white and thus, “how could it be a race issue.” He never discussed the law that allowed Zimmerman to carry a gun and that seemed to protect him from being charged because he claimed to feel threatened …..

Limbaugh is divisive and dangerous. The rhetoric he uses, the pitting of one group against another, the guilt and assumed corrupt motives of anyone who isn’t a white man is clearly inflammatory.

He takes pleasure in insinuating racism under the guise of "entertainment."

He revels in misogyny to the delight of an audience of primarily white men, most of them lonely or frustrated, between 25-55 who don't know the definition or understand the meaning of the word.

It is frightening that we have people who drink this all of this in with their lunch, and then move around in society among the rest of us.

I believe that he, and the likes of him are responsible for the tone and tenor of national our conversation and it’s time for him to go.

Thus I pledge at least an hour a day to do my part to help this movement, to contact sponsors who advertise on his show to and boycott any sponsor who declares they stand by his “right to free speech” and refuse to get his filth off the publicly accessible airwaves.

Will YOU?

This list includes a sample of the lists we keep on our website. This list includes some of the sponsors heard advertising on Rush Limbaugh's Radio Show around the country the week of 3/26-3/30.

If you'd like to help us change the rhetoric of the national conversation, please contact these sponsors and ask them to stop advertising on Limbaugh's show. If you are willing to listen to the Rush Limbaugh show on your local station and keep a list of advertisers we'd appreciate it of you share those lists with us -submit your lists via comments.

Please start by being polite; if you're doing this, you know why these companies shouldn't be advertising on Limbaugh's show. Remind them they are on lists all over the Internet, there are many other websites with lists, updated regularly and many of share lists with each other. The more advertisers are heard on Limbaugh's show, the more they will hear from people all over the country. Do they want their brands associated with misogyny, racism and hate? Remind them of some of the hateful, racist, ethnic, anti-Semitic, misogynistic things he's said over the years. Tell them we need them to help change the way we speak to each other. We need to change the national rhetoric. Speak from the heart.

If they that they didn't know or don't want their ads to play on Rush's Show, this is why and what they can do about it.

Also see this link on our website to longer lists for these for individual stations:

KKFS Oakland, CA -
Seattle (will get call letters)-
Madison, WI -
WLS AM 890 Chicago
Denver KOA
Los Angelss, CA 640 KFI

Many of us are making purchase decision based on these lists. I am considering canceling my cable account, because Xfinity has is back on national lists. Our daughter needs a car - if a car brand, a local dealer or national ad, they are crossed off the list. .. and so on... Please see the national sponsors' list for our wall of shame and others who have shown up all over the country. If you want to help by listening to the show on your local station and reporting advertisers, please sent your lists, no matter how long, to us via a comment. Please include the call letters and number of the station and the city.

Do something. Get involved. Join us to change the rhetoric of the national conversation. Visit our website and help with the national effort to boycott Rush Limbaugh's sponsors. Find lists, petitions and everything you need.

"Civility is not a sign of weakness." JFK

“What does it say about the college coed Susan [sic] Fluke, who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex? What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex.”
- Rush Limbaugh, The Rush Limbaugh Show from February 28 segment titled “Butt Sisters are Safe from Newt and Rick."

UNIVERSITY of Vermont - If you are one of the millions of parents or students look at colleges or already making monthly payments to pay for a college education, how would you feel if you learned your money is being spent to allow a Limbaugh station to call itself the voice of that college's sports teams?

So much for the progressive reputation Vermonters always seemed so proud to wear. See story here. In response to the calls from local residents and students for the college to disassociate itself from Rush Radio, the university's chancellor made a move that he felt was a compromise by asking that Rush's show not be promoted (advertised) during the Catamounts's games. See also, yesterday's independent student newspaper story.
That misses the point. If, in order to listen to your team play on the radio, you need to tune into a "Rush Radio" station you are essentially supporting his show, and more likely to keep that radio on the Rush Radio number on your dial. Furthermore, the UVM Women's Basketball team is covered by this station! Just because they've asked the program manager to not promote Limbaugh's show during the games, doesn't change the fact that "The Voice of the Catamounts" is also "Rush Radio." This attack on Ms. Fluke is not the first time Limbaugh has denigrated women with his missives of misogyny; it is a regular practice, as are racist, ethnic and anti-Semitic comments, that, whether you agree on the premise of his arguments or not, insult common decency.

Contact UVM's Administration - tell them to end their association/agreement with Rush Radio WVMT 620 - contact information below.

If your local station is carrying both a local college's team's games and Rush's show, lets let those paying for the education know about it. Let the college administration know about it and and contact local media asking them about the situation and suggesting they do a story about it. Leave us a comment w/the information and we will share it here.

---- Ban Guns and Free Speech for Libs ----

An insightful glimpse into the mindset of Limbaugh and his followers, self-proclaimed "dittoheads."

Quote from Rush Show Transcript, January 18, 2011. Link to the full transcript.
Title of the transcript is, "Ban Guns, and Free Speech for Libs."

On Gabby Gifford, Liberals and Free Speech:

CALLER: And one of the things about this little get-together that Gabby was putting on was all the people that were there were liberals. And from my perspective it was a liberal that actually went and shot her. And the first thing they did was they started blaming conservatives, and for me personally, I can't speak for everybody, but it was very offensive, and it just strengthens my resolve to vote against anybody that even waivers the slightest bit towards a liberal. In other words, if you're a RINO, you don't get my vote. Just the bottom line, and I'm tired of being blamed for all the ills in this country. I'm tired of seeing people like you, I'm tired of seeing people like Ann*, you guys speak what's on our minds on a daily basis, and you're slammed, you're attacked, and you're not being attacked by your own. You're being attacked by the liberals. So for me personally, I thank you for allowing me to say what I'm saying --
RUSH: You're more than welcome. I've got the solution to all this. I've got the solution to most crime in America. From this day forward, somebody propose it, liberals should not be allowed to buy guns. It's just that simple. Liberals should have their speech controlled and not be allowed to buy guns. I mean if we want to get serious about this, if we want to face this head on, we're gonna have to openly admit, liberals should not be allowed to buy guns, nor should they be allowed to use computer keyboards or typewriters, word processors or e-mails, and they should have their speech controlled. If we did those three or four things, I can't tell you what a sane, calm, civil, fun-loving society we would have. Take guns out of the possession, out of the hands of liberals, take their typewriters and their keyboards away from 'em, don't let 'em anywhere near a gun, and control their speech. You would wipe out 90% of the crime, 85 to 95% of the hate, and a hundred percent of the lies from society.

UNBELIEVABLE. WHAT A HYPOCRITE.

Join the effort to Boycott Rush Limbaugh's Sponsors/Advertisers

Thanks to Sheila from the facebook page Boycott-Rush-Limbaughs-Sponsors-to-SHUT-HIM-DOWN for posting this and bringing it to my attention.

* "Ann" it is worth viewing the transcript to see what he said about Ann Coulter. More hypocrisy.

POST UPDATED W/NEW INFORMATION:
It's been a popular question since this whole thing started, why is Rush Limbaughs show playing on a radio station funded by OUR TAX DOLLARS?

Apparently they don't pay to play the show - we are still trying to figure that out -but we pay for the entire network w/our tax money via the DOD. We need to get this show off the air, it makes me shudder as I do my taxes that we are in anyway supporting him. There are many movements out there to get Secretary Panetta to drop this show - these are some we've collected over the past two weeks. If you know of other efforts/links/twitter/facebook please leave a comment.

Please contact your own senator and congressman, send a message with a stamp in an envelope - the old fashioned way - to Panetta. Sign the petitions and share them with your friends. Send a message to our government, take this guy off the American Forces Network! It's all here:

This is important because your tax dollars pays to run this radio station- it isn't about equal voices, two sides etc .. this is about one man who has crossed the line too many times and this time he went WAY TOO FAR and crossed the lines of decency and respect!

Contact your senator and congressman and tell them to stop funding this show!

Find your senator's contact information: http://www.senate.gov/...

Find your congressman's contact information: http://www.house.gov/...

The DOD has a statement in their FAQ page explaining that they don't pay to advertise on the show ... that isn't what we want, we want them to STOP PLAYING THE SHOW!

Send Leon Panetta a snail mail letter telling him you don't want your tax money spent on this misogynist's show!

Leon Panetta, Secretary of the DOD, 1400 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-1400

Petition: Senators Carl Levin and John McCain: Cut all ties between American Forces Network and Rush Limbaugh

https://www.change.org/...

Why This Is Important

Dear Senators Levin and McCain,

We are petitioning you to cut all ties between Rush Limbaugh and the American Forces Network, also known as the Armed Services Network. In your capacity as Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and as Senators, you are in a unique position to contact Secretary Panetta and question him as to the continued presence of a misogynist on military airwaves.

Both of you have listened to testimony about sexual harassment in today’s military. You both understand the severe toll that sexual harassment takes on the ability for our current force to its job well. In the first 18 month of the war in Iraq, over 100 cases of sexual assault were reported. Your esteemed colleague, Susan Collins, said at the time, “What does it say about us as a people, as a nation, as the foremost military in the world, when our women soldiers sometimes have more to fear from their fellow soldiers than from the enemy?”

We ask you, our Senators, what does it say about us as a people, as a nation, as the foremost military in the world, that we allow a misogynist daily access to our military airwaves in the name of Free Speech?

We believe the women serving in our military deserve a better atmosphere in which to work. We believe that family, the wives, mothers, and daughters in our military community, deserve it as well.

The freedom to speak freely is a right that military members and their families do not take lightly. In fact, active duty members partially give up that right when they sign the dotted line. It is your responsibility, as Senators and fellow citizens, to speak for all of those who have sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Please, cut all ties between AFN and Rush Limbaugh immediately. Help stop sexual harassment in its tracks.

Sincerely, PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION

Tell UNC Chancellor, Trustees, Alumni, Coaches Take Tarheels off RUSH RADIO!

UPDATE: Are you monitoring sponsors? Please leave a comment on our blog: boycottrushlimbaughssponsors.com - tweet #rushwatch | Visit our blog to find Limbaugh sponsor/advertiser lists, radio station lists and more resources to help Boycott Rush Limbaugh.
Years ago, I drove my daughter from New England to South Carolina to look at colleges. She was an athlete and was considering her options. We visited UNC Chapel Hill and I fell in love with the charming setting, older buildings, and gardens. My daughter loved the school, but the academic program she was looking for wasn't a match with the programs the school offered. She settled on a smaller private school further south.

If we had been making that search now, I'd be doing a little extra background work. Does this school have any association with Rush Limbaugh? Sound extreme? Not really. Consider that many colleges allow local radios who are identified as Rush affiliates, and use his show as an anchor, to call themselves the official radio station of or the official voice of ... their college teams. So you will bet that faculty and students will have that spot marked on their dials, along with many in the surrounding area. Should their women students be subject to Limbaugh's misogynistic rants as part of their college experience?

This is now becoming an issue for many schools, and will become an issue for many more as data bases are built that draw the line from a college to Limbaugh.

In the midst of college basketball season the UNC Chancellor has been fielding calls about the school's beloved Tarheels relationship w "Rush Radio." He made an executive decision:

"UNC officials have reached a compromise with WRDU, 106.1 FM—also known as “Rush Radio”—after local residents petitioned the school to break ties with the station over its association with Rush Limbaugh.
As part of the arrangement, UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp says WRDU has agreed not to advertise Limbaugh while broadcasting Tar Heel sports, or to advertise Tar Heel sports while broadcasting Limbaugh." full story here-

Is that really it? Is that how they plan to disassociate themselves from Limbaugh? Not quite. That is not enough. Dials are still set to Rush Radio. There are other options. Please help us put pressure on the chancellor by not only contacting him, but by contacting the alumni department and trustees. The whole story has seems to have the sense that this man is hoping this will all blow over.

Furthermore, if you are willing to take the time, use this page to identify the coaches and directors of the women's sports teams at UNC Chapel Hill . Contact them, and tell them their athletes deserve better. Women college athletes who use birth control are not "Sluts."

Tell these people that the women who attend their school, who graduated from their school and who are considering their school should not be subject to any connection to Rush Limbaugh.
