McCain: Limbaugh’s Attacks Are ‘Totally Unacceptable,’ ‘Should Be Condemned By E

[blacken700]

[headhuntersix]

e is a list of the companies we believe to be Rush's advertisers. (Note, things are happening very quickly, so we cannot guarantee right now that these are all current advertisers). We will update these as they react to the "Boycott Rush" movement, or confirm they are no longer supporting him.
  AllState joins companies pulling ads from @RushLimbaugh radio show - @cnbcbrk



•AOL:  Their "TechGuru" service offers a discount "exclusively for Rush Limbaugh listeners" (click to see)  (UPDATE: AOL says it has "suspended" its advertising. This is not the same as dropping him, but it's a good start)
•AutoZone (UPDATE: They say that they do not sponsor Rush, and that if a commercial was run, it was in error)
•Carbonite (UPDATE: They've dropped him!)

•Citrix (UPDATE: Citrix has pulled their ads!)
•Lear Capital
•LegalZoom  (UPDATE: LegalZoom has confirmed with us directly that it is pulling its ads!)
•LifeLock
•Oreck (UPDATE: Oreck says it does not now advertise on Rush, but may have had some ads on a while back as part of a broad media buy)
•ProFlowers: (UPDATE: They've dropped him!  This is a big win, since they had been featuring "Rush Limbaugh discount codes" earlier. Oh. My. God. They are actually featuring "Rush Limbaugh discount codes")
•Sears: Sears says that it does not advertise on Rush, but that an ad may have been run in error.  However, an ad was heard late last week on the show, so this is a question mark for now.
•Sleep Train: (UPDATE: Victory! They have pulled their ads! -- source)
•Sleep Number: (UPDATE: Victory! They have pulled their ads! -- source)
•Quicken Loans (UPDATE: Appears to be a victory here too, as they are reportedly pulling ads as well!)
•TaxResolution: (UPDATE: They have "suspended" their advertising)
•(Stay tuned, we're tracking Rush's broadcast, and will list more advertisers as we are made aware of them.  Also, see Think Progress for their own updated list, since they might get stuff before we do!)

This is a victory for fucking libs.....I hope that bitch dies painfully.  All u fucking libs do is destroy and take whats not yours. That girl wouldn't go on Fox because she wants softballs instead of answering why she needs a hand out. Rush will have the last laugh. He should take back the apology and tell her to die in a fire.

Prove his ratings.....you really are an idiot. Hows Air America doing...oh yeah.....

you really wish a painful death on this woman

why?

The Left is the enemy.....

[Skip8282]

the funniest part is that Georgetown has a healthcare plan for their employees that does provide contraception

If that's true, then I would think the University is wrong no matter what.

I can support a religious exemption.

But trying to claim it's a religious issue in one case, but not a religious issue in another is completely absurd.

it is true

here's a list of Catholic Affiliated Institutions (not sure if it's a complete list) and what kind of coverage they offer (my Alma mater is on the list too)

And since this is a plan for employees it's almost certain that Georgetowns pay at least part of the premium which is not true of the student group plan in which the students (or their parents) pay th full premium

Interesting.

That kind of hypocrisy from the church is annoying as shit.

No employer should be forced to provide anything whatsoever.

How about a safe work environment, lunch break, maternity leave etc...?

Safe work - yes

lunch - thirty minutes optional. 

Maternity - fuck no.

Rush doesn't seem to be sweating it.

Don't Worry, Folks: Advertisers Who Don't Want Your Business Will Be Replaced
March 05, 2012
Listen to it Button

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: The left, folks -- the media -- are giddy that some advertisers have said they're leaving the program. And I'm sorry to see 'em go. They have profited handsomely from you. These advertisers who have split the scene have done very well due to their access to you, my audience, from this program. To offer their products and services to you through this venue is the best opportunity that they have ever had to advertise their wares. Now they've chosen to deny themselves that access, and that's a business decision, and it's theirs alone to make.

They've decided they don't want you or your business anymore.

So be it.

For me, this program is always about you. You talk to anybody that knows me who asks me about this program, and I always say, "It's all for the audience," because if you're not there, all the rest of this is academic. This show is about you. It's not about the advertisers. I knew the political inclinations of these people. They didn't care when they were profiting -- and I didn't, either. Everybody's able to put these things aside for the sake of mutual beneficial business activity. No radio broadcast will succeed by putting business ahead of the needs of its loyal audience, and that audience is you. My success has come from you. My focus has always been, and always will be, on you.

And I'm still not through.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH:  As I was saying, ladies and gentlemen, this show has always been about you.  It has always been about meeting and surpassing your expectations as an audience on any level that I can imagine, on any level for which I have empathy.  If this program were about the advertising... (laughing) you don't know the kind of commercials you'd be treated to.  I reject millions of dollars of advertising a year, much to the chagrin of my hardworking sales staff.  Millions, folks, including, I might add, General Motors.  What would you have thought, if, after the government took over General Motors, I started advertising General Motors? I made the decision not to accept that because you, the audience, come first.  Because no successful program puts the audience second or third.

See, I understand my successes come from you.  During the year, many of you regale me with how much the program has meant to you personally, your family, over the years.  Every Thanksgiving and Christmas I take time out to tell you that no matter what this program's meant to you, it can't compare to what you have meant to me and my family.  In fact, I have no adequate way to express my gratitude to you.  Just doesn't exist.  It's how great my gratitude for all of you is.  Without you, advertisers would have no need to participate in this program.  So what we're gonna do is replace those that leave, those that no longer want access to you, those advertisers who no longer want your business, fine.  We'll replace them.  It's simple, really.

Advertising's a business decision.  It's not a social one.  Only the leftists try to use extortion, pressure, threats to silence opposing voices.  We don't do that.  Never, ever, do any of us on our side of the aisle try to suppress the speech or the voices of those with whom we disagree, and we never will.  So, as you've always done, you make your own business decisions about the products and services you buy.  But don't be like the opposition.  That was my mistake last week.  Don't make it yours.

So let me do this once more, and then we're not gonna do it again.  I should not have used the language I did about Sandra Fluke.  It was wrong and, despite all the theories, my apology to her was for simply using inappropriate words.  I'm not going to wait for apologies from the left ever.  And you shouldn't, either.  They won't come.  You won't get apologies from people like Bill Maher or all the other leftists who have said some of the most horrible, despicable things about us, and people like Sarah Palin.  They get rewarded for those despicable things.  They get to make movies out of their despicable things and amplify them.  But all of the other leftists that call me and other conservatives the most rude and explicit names, never an apology. In fact, they get patted on the back.  Don't expect apologies.  They are never going to apologize to you or me or any of us.  That's the difference between them and us, and it's one more reason why ultimately we will prevail over them.

I can't remember the last time I had a real lunch break.   most days lunch consists of walking next door to the pizzeria or chink kitchen for food and eat while working. 

as far as maternity leave goes - really?   Paid or unpaid?   

most women I know would love if their husband could work and they could stay at home. 

Send those women home to raise the kids , give the raises to the men , and let traditional society work.

aren't you self employed?

[Soul Crusher]

aren't you self employed?

Yes.    when you are self employed there is no such thing as lunch.   For me lunch usually consists of walking to mailbox to mail out checks, letters, correspondence, etc, scarf down slice of pizza or chink food, walk back to office and back to work.
