Federal drug regulators warned consumers to stop using Zicam, a popular homeopathic cold remedy, because it could damage or destroy their sense of smell.
The action is an early indication that the Obama administration is likely to take far more aggressive enforcement actions against drug companies than the Bush administration did.

I don't think this is a client of Rush's radio program anymore, but perhaps Obama didn't know that prior to taking this step. We'll be able to tell if he's gunning for Rush if the government bans Sleep Number beds and Carbonite!
You are RIGHT ON THE MARK! This is about being a sponsor on Rush’s show. Nothing more. BO’s NAZI fascists pigs are out to get anyone who looks, talks and acts like an American.
I find it hard to believe. I use the nasal swabs every time I get a cold or sniffles and even though I smoke the occasional cigar, I have a very keen sense of smell.
I haven’t tried the spray but I have had good success with the cherry flavored chewables. It does taste more like cherry flavored dirt but it sure takes care of the cold symptoms.
I’m still ticked they changed the Nyquil formula. It doesn’t work at all now.
Obama is out to destroy Rush. Cut the blood to his veins by going after his advertisers.
Bib Brother is watching!
What about actual evidence that this causes what the government says it does?
Does that matter?
It doesn’t destroy sense of smell; it enhances it. Every time I go on a Zicam regime, I find my farts smell really good!
I am a very happy Zicam customer, thanks to Rush. And I can still smell liberals from a mile away.
Sadly, that was my first thought also.
I really think this prez is that small minded to go after those who don’t agree with his policies.
Let’s see, who are Hannity’s sponsors?
Saw a doctor today and she said we all need to work together to get him out of office asap. She mentioned term limits for those who are letting him turn this country into a socialist society.
We all need to stick together....and make this happen.
I am making red, white and blue earrings for a few customers to wear on July 4th.
I plan to wear mine year round as a reminder of what this country used to be. When folks comment on my earrings, that gives me a perfect opening to ask for their help.
This wants me to go buy some in case I get a cold!
Yes Zicam is still advertising on the Rush Limbaugh Program and he stood behind Zicam today.
I will stand behind them also. I have used Zicam since Rush started talking about it and I have had great success.
Homeopathic medications has been on a lot of doctor’s do not trust list for a long time.
Zicam is just the beginning. Next you will hear negative news stories on Carbonite, Rinnai, Quicken Loans, Lending Tree, SelectComfort...
hmmm
Me too!
I used it for years so I could sleep during a cold, and then SHAZZAM!!
This smells of the Chicago machine intimidation tactics.
The war is on. Three of the next four products questioned by a government agency will be Limbaugh/Hannity/Levine advertisers.
I swear I read a posting on one of the daily Rush threads in which a poster complained of these symptoms. I saw this well before this announcement.
Said he had lost his sense of smell and I thought he was nuts!
Rush is a marked man!!!
Some socialistic Obama swooner in government trying to pick up "brownie points," don'tcha know???
