Doing the hard work needed to reduce all the hate emanating from America's leading gasbag: Rush Limbaugh

RT @shoq: RUSH just said the purpose of his program was to create "Informed voters." But wait, wasn't he "just an entertainer?"

Sponsors of radio programs can be tricky to identify and verify. Please read our FAQ for how we do this. There are two regions in the list below.

Top region shows Active Sponsors — who are ripe current targets for your tweets, emails, phone calls, or other pressure efforts.
Bottom region shows Former Sponsors — who should be praised. Those with a Former status are national advertisers—commercial or nonprofits—who have dropped their ads from the show. Avoiders have asked Premiere Networks to avoid placing their ads on Rush's show (and others). In effect, whether profit, or non-profit, advertisers now realize that any association with this kind of partisan hate radio is a negative branding that want to avoiding.
Why we show more former sponsors than others — some published accounts (such as ThinkProgress.org,) seem to exclude non-profits. This is an unnecessary and wrong distinction, in our view. It should not matter whether someone pays for an advertisement or not. What matters is whether they choose to appear at all. Thus, as far as StopRush Project is concerned, a nonprofit that asks to avoid or drops, is no different than a commercial advertiser doing the same.
