Rush Limbaugh: Still has the biggest sponsor on his side
In real life Americans have the potential to be more fanatic than any fanatical party of Bangladesh. By nature our people (Bengali) are easily pleased and switch sides over petty favors. Most of the time it works against us but for this reason fanaticism do not spread in this land.
As far as America is concern, it is passing a very interesting time. If fanatics from Republican party come to power, more than likely America will never be the same again. Guess we have to wait and see how thing works out. So far Obama is looking good.
Shalom!

Re: [mukto-mona] Seventh Sponsor Drops Rush Limbaugh
As long clear channel radio network is behind him (They firmly are), slowly all of them will come back to Rush. This is just a little PC (Political correct) action taken by legal experts of those corporation to save faces in certain demographics.

ProFlowers, an online florist, is one of the latest companies to announce it would halt advertising on Limbaugh's show.
"Mr. Limbaugh's recent comments went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company. As such, ProFlowers has suspended advertising on the Rush Limbaugh radio program," it announced on its Facebook page.
ProFlowers, like other Limbaugh sponsors, faced pressure from women's groups to end its relationship with his show after Limbaugh branded Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke, 30, a "slut" and "prostitute," equating Fluke's advocacy of expanded coverage for contraceptives with her wanting to be "paid to have sex." Fluke has been a vocal supporter of a new Obama administration rule that mandates greatly expanded access to contraceptives through health insurance plans.
One activist group, UltraViolet, said 91,000 people had signed its petition urging ProFlowers to suspend advertising on Limbaugh's show.
"UltraViolet members are glad that ProFlowers decided to suspend their advertising from the Rush Limbaugh show. … Our members hope that ProFlowers will do the right thing and not only suspend their advertising but pull it permanently," it said in a statement.
Quicken Loans, Sleep Train, Sleep Number, Citrix Systems Inc., Carbonite and LegalZoom also have suspended their advertising with Limbaugh, according to The Associated Press.
Republican presidential hopefuls Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul also criticized Limbaugh's remarks during Sunday show appearances and on the campaign trail. Eric Fehrnstrom, an advisor to Mitt Romney, said the candidate thought Limbaugh's apology was "appropriate."
"I think there is extreme rhetoric on both sides of the political spectrum. I think the political process is best served if everybody tones it down. Not only those on the right, but also intolerant voices on the left," Fehrnstrom said.
