Rush Limbaugh’s Recent Comments re Susan Fluke

Dear Sirs,
I heard Rush Limbaugh’s recent radio show featuring his comments regarding Susan Fluke’s brave testimony regarding her statements before Congress. I went to your website, www.610WTVN.com in order to determine if your station did in fact allow this commentator to make these vile statements. I will not repeat what Mr. Limbaugh said on this occasion because my household does not use that type of language.
This has not been the only vile statements Mr. Limbaugh has been associated with; he ridiculed Michael J, Fox’s debilitating condition, he ridiculed Hu Jintao, the Chinese President, “He was speaking (President Hu Jintao) and they weren't translating. They normally translate every couple of words. Hu Jintao was just going ching chong, ching chong cha"Hu Jintao--He was speaking and they weren't translating. They normally translate every couple of words. Hu Jintao was just going ching chong, ching chong cha," Mr. Limbaugh said.," and used racial overtones in describing Donavan Mcnabb, "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well,'' Mr. Limbaugh said at the time. "There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team." This last remark is said to have lost Mr. Limbaugh his chance to own an NFL team.
Any one of these remarks should have gotten Mr. Limbaugh a public rebuke, if not from your station, but from Clear Channel, the parent company which distributes Mr. Limbaugh’s show. As far as I know, no formal apology has been forthcoming from him.
I have written to the advertisers below. I have included the facts included in this letter and have asked each and every advertiser to reconsider advertising on Mr. Limbaugh’s show, if not your entire radio broadcast;
Schmidt's
The Funny Bone Comedy Club and Cafe
Plank's Cafe & Pizzeria
BalletMet Dance Centre
Wings Sports Bar and Grille
Bobby Layman 3900 W Broad St, Columbus, OH 43228

These were the advertisers I was able to locate in a cursory search on your website. I admit I do not listen to your station because Clear Channel, and mostly Mr. Limbaugh, are a big part of the station. I do know people who do listen and I will tell them of this current controversy and hopefully they will rethink their choice of radio stations.
I understand you are required to put this and any letter in the Public Inspection File. I trust you will do the same to my letter.



I looked up the station's ownership and it is OWNED by Clear Channel. But the letter will be on Public Display as I will take the advice of one of the posters and send it registered mail. Screw them!
