Beyond Rush: Hannity, Beck, Levin Hit with Advertiser Bans

I have ALWAYS questioned the rationality of having an "entertainer" or a "disc jockey" as spokespersons for a political party. And, that is all they are. Some started as DJ's, some as janitors, until they got a break, an audience slowly grew and they became authorities on politics. Remember, they are just ENTERTAINERS, nothing more, extremely RICH entertainers. In Rush's case, he became one of the most powerful voices in the Republican Party. What are HIS credentials, or any of them. I think Beck, at one time, admitted that he was nothing more than an entertainer, a multi-millionaire entertainer. Oh,, he also sells cups and t-shirts. They all get "drunk with power," and feel they can do no wrong. They are the "evangelists" of the political world, cut from the same tree.

Efforts to silence Rush Limbaugh are apparently having a significant impact on the talk radio business as a whole, including syndicated radio shows hosted by Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and Glenn Beck.

After provocative comments made about a female Georgetown law school student, Limbaugh's show has been targeted by liberal groups that have pressured more than two dozen advertisers to drop his program from their ad buys.

Now, Rush's syndicator, Premiere Networks, is losing advertisers for other conservative programs it airs.

According to an internal Premiere memorandum obtained by Radio-Info.com, the company says 98 advertisers no longer wanted to air ad spots on any "offensive or controversial" talk programs.

Radio-Info says the list of advertisers include "carmakers (Ford, GM, Toyota), insurance companies (Allstate, Geico, Prudential, State Farm) and restaurants (McDonald’s, Subway)."

Beck, Rush and the Boys ..

I am taking Rush, Beck and Newt off of my Facebook. They are using it as a TOOL to SELL, SELL, SELL and SELL. T-shirts seem to be the big item, and bumper stickers.

They do one post of SCARE STUFF, Obama this and Obama that ............ and OH, I have these T-shirts to sell. They have thousands of followers buying this junk from them. I wonder how they feel about those posts where people would like to have the item, but, "just don't have the money to get one now."

Facebook is FREE to them to gain their following, and FREE for them to sell their wares.

Leroy acquired his vast following through TV and appearances in his church and others. Then, he sold them pills to do all sorts of things, and then, he said that God told him just where to drill a well on his property for water, they he told his followers, the pills will work better if you wash them down with his water, "Sold in four gallon cartons, no broken cartons." That is a direct quote.

I think of him when I see Beck and all the "good old boys," selling their wares on Facebook.

Scare them, make them feel that the world is coming to an end, there is no future, so, buy and read my books, t-shirts, caps and cups ..... I have NO solutions, NO suggestions, just books and t-shirts and cups, and OH, Yea, "Wait Till November" and everything will be OK, then, if you read my books, etc. etc.

In many ways, they are more dishonest than the politicians. They fill the public with SCARY thoughts and ideas, but offer no solutions, while making tons of money ........ now that is REALLY dishonest.

Rush and Beck

What do I have to do to get a gigantic following of readers so I, too, can open an online store and make BIG BUCKS selling T-shirts and cups and hats?

Beck, who admittedly does not like politics* has a store and now has some sort of a pay-to-view show admits he is nothing but an entertainer, and they still blindly follow him and take his word as gospel. I think all these talk show hosts should be made to get Ministerial Licenses. They are nothing more than Evangelists,

I'll bet if you look deep enough, Leroy Jenkins is on the Beck advisory staff. They both do or have done the same think. GET A LARGE FOLLOWING AND THEN SELL THEM STUFF.

They have the bold faced audacity to critiize politicians for thier money making schemes, then they go on Facebook, get a large following and then start their "selling ways."

*In a 2010 interview in Forbes, Beck asserted that he was not political and his business is entertainment: "I could give a flying crap about the political process," continuing on to say "We're an entertainment company".
