I cant listen to Rush, my eyes still hurt from seeing Palin from 6 feet away two years ago by accident.
Who are the organizations running PSA on Limpballs show??? A campaign need to be waged against them urging them to pull their PSA from the show just the same as we have had all but 5 or 6 advertisers pull their sponsorship.
If you know what the PSA are post them here with contact information. Lets increase the Dead Air.

OP
The station AND Rush cannot profit from them. They are run for free as a mandated public service.

Public Service Announcements are not "supporting/sponsoring" Limbaugh's show. PSAs are provided free and there are regulations mandating that they be aired. When a radio station/show is devoid of a paying sponsor, they play a PSA in order to avoided the dreaded "dead air".

If Limbaugh airs a PSA telling me about the evils of clubbing baby seals, those little tykes best hope they don't cross my path.

Nevertheless, that's the way PSAs work.

A failed attempt at humor, I guess.

And they are almost always for causes that RWers LOATHE.
So let them air. He'll hate it and so will his dittoheads.
