Would it matter?
Would it just seem like Whack A Mole as some other gasbag replaces him?

Sean Insanity wants to replace Rush as the Number 1 right-wing radio host so bad he can taste it.

(36,457 posts)It would show that he no longer has the blind support of corporate America. It would show that consumer backlash made a difference. One of the most popular responses from corporate America, when consumers were POd that they were advertising on the Rush show, was that they buy blocks of advertising time & don't have any say in where their commercials are slotted. Americans are letting them know that that is a lame excuse. You go back to Clear Channel* & you say, "No, you will not put our paid for commercial time on the Rush show!"
It would matter.
I hope it happens.
And "Yes!" to the poster above about getting that hateful gasbag off the Armed Services frequency.
*Is it Clear Channel? I don't know. Insert big media & you get the drift.

Hannity, Levin and the hundreds of carbon-copy wingnuts just aren't in Rush' league. It has taken him over 60 years of self-loathing to get to his level of depravity...all the others are just window-dressing.
