50 More Major Rush Limbaugh Sponsors Go Silent – Boycotters Kicking His Ass(ets)
April 12, 2014
Posted by: Samuel Warde



Yes, over 50 substantial Limbaugh sponsors have not been heard in months. This number is in addition to the thousands of national and local sponsors who have already pulled ads from radio’s most hateful talk show host, Rush Limbaugh. The boycotts, petitions, and protests continue to kick his ad revenue, as well as the assets of the radio networks that carry him. More and more consumers and activists are jumping into the protest via BoycottRush, StopRush, and FlushRush.


According to the StopRush Database, here are some of the major sponsors that have not been heard on Limbaugh’s show for at least 60 days. As of April 12, 2014, they include:
