[font size=4]Some 30-plus have withdrawn support from the radio talker's show[/font]

[font size=3]The number of advertisers abandoning Rush Limbaugh's talk show has gone from a trickle to a flood.
More than 30 companies have pulled their ads off his program, including more than 20 yesterday alone, as the fallout continues over Limbaugh's comments last week about a Georgetown University law student, whom he called a slut and a prostitute for discussing contraception in front of a Congressional committee.
And the advertiser exodus probably is not done.
Sentiment in the media community is clearly against Limbaugh, as a poll taken yesterday by Media Life found, and many buyers are advising their clients to sever ties to the radioactive talk show host.

80% of active military troops self-identify as Republican. Especially since the end of the draft.

Yes, 80% was certainly overstated, however military members are more likely to be Republican

Rush says he hasn't lost a single "sponsor", nor have station affiliates lost a single dime.
