All,
The campaign against Limbaugh, through his advertisers, is bearing fruit. But there's more we can do.
This has seen a smattering of mentions, but it's a real button we can press. Guess who owns Rush Limbaugh?
From the PCTC blog...
Limbaugh doesn't work for himself, or for his much-touted "Excellence in Broadcasting" network.
In fact, he works for an entity called "Premier Radio Networks", which is owned by Clear Channel.
And who owns Clear Channel?
Why there are two co-owners.
Thomas H. Lee Partners LP
Bain Capital LLC
Yep, THAT Bain Capital. Romney's old firm, which he helped co-found. He still draws money from them in a profit sharing arrangement. He was with them for many years. He doubtless has levers he could pull there.
In other words, Romney is linked firmly to Limbaugh, and can't be allowed to just glide above Limbaugh's reprehensible comments. There is a direct link between Romney and Limbaugh.
It's time we asked Romney what he thinks about Bain Capital's loudest loudmouth. And if he won't comment, how do you think Romney will do in November without women's votes?
Also, please see the above link to the PCTC blog for firms connected to Bain and Clear Channel. They include Warner Music, Snapple, Staples, Dominos Pizza, Burger King, Toys-R-Us, and others. Let them know how you feel about Bain's Limbaugh.
