The piece's crux: ties between the companies and the left; and Fluke's record of trying to shut down free speech. But my main interest is the above. Here's a product testimony: I've used ProFlowers. Only because they were Rush sponsers, and it seemed an implicit statement to use them. The first Valentines Day: the flowers arrived in a vase UN-ARRANGED! That's right. They weren't arranged. Apparently, that's a given with long-distance orders. The second Valentines Day, I thought my wife was getting tulips (as shown in their picture). It turned out they sent two bulbs. It's RIDICULOUSLY easy to use another flower co. I can't believe their CEO was this stupid. 20 million listeners. I doubt the company survives. For the record, I checked and all seven companies are private--so there's no divesting. Oh well. There's no buying either. Some of these guys will go belly up.

Since TWO IF BY TEA is Rush’s only sponsor, guess we’d better be buying lots of his tea !!

Breitbart Warriors UNITE !

[Tax-chick]

Rush could ask for private donations to fund his show. “This segment was paid for by FReeper Tax-chick, who says, ‘Adopt a retired greyhound: they’re the perfect pet.’ “

I might listen to him, if it weren’t for the stupid ads.

[mardi59]

Rush is on.

He said his show is being sponsored by his Twoifbuytea.
He is explaining his apology.

[4everontheRight]

I probably spend about $300 a year at Proflowers...not any more. I emailed them Sunday and told them they will never get another dime of my business!
Not all sponsors believe the same thing Rush does, I suspect we have weeded those folks out here. I am done with businesses that send money to the left or support them in anyway....I work too hard to earn every damned dollar I make to spend it at a company that supports the destruction of this country!

[steve86]

Rush is unwise. Every time the right gets “nice”, the left steamrolls them and continues their anti-Catholic (Christian) agenda.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Now pronounced Sandra FLUCK.

Be careful on spelling.

[datakcy]

Rush is cowardly sniveling now on the air because he is bleeding advertisers. This is pathetic. I wrote to several advertisers stating I will never use their services again.

Stop it Rush! You’re being humiliated by the Left. Ask your listeners to step up to the plate. Everyone knows you were speaking tongue-in-cheek about Ms. Fluke. We now know that she was no 23-year old innocent student but a 30-year old seasoned leftist activist.

This makes me sick. Call the Left for what they are: pathetic liars who twisted this issue as they do every issue.

I’m ashamed to say that I was a ProFlowers customer

I became a ProFlowers customer when I first heard your ads on Rush Limbaugh’s show a few years ago. Like the other 25+ million weekly listeners to his show, I value what he says, and what he recommends.

I don’t know how much business Rush has brought your company, but I’ll guess it’s substantial. This being the case, I was beyond disappointed that ProFlowers decided to be politically correct and drop their sponsorship to Rush’s show simply because Rush expressed a valid opinion about this fraud…Ms. Fluke.

Just as you have made a decision that will affect Mr. Limbaugh, many more of us are also making a decision that will indeed affect you. I have made my LAST purchase from ProFlowers. Please remove my name from your database and stop the solicitation emails.

I’m certainly not alone in my feelings for the politically motivated decision you have made to drop sponsorship of Rush’s show over this phony outrage by people who are neither listeners to his show or your likely customers, past or future.

You might want to take a look around the blogosphere this day; outrage at your decision will have the opposite effect you had intended. Do you really think that dropping sponsorship to Rush’s show in such a politically motivated way will not have financial consequences for your business?

Perhaps you believe that the Occupy Wall Street and MoveOn.org crowd who have astro-turfed this phony outrage are a better demographic for your product.

I believe that you are mistaken

What would Breitbart do?

[Berlin_Freeper]

My City Was Gone

[vanilla swirl]

Just heard Rush slobber all over himself.
We’ve lost him.

[Windflier]

Guess there won’t be a whole lot of commercial breaks today, but new advertisers will soon fill up the empty spaces.

[pallis]

None of the companies that dropped their advertizing with Rush will ever see a dime from me, and whenever I can steer business in another direction, I will.

Sandra Fluke Says Rush Limbaugh's Apology Doesn't Change Anything

[Vendome]

I would like request a special exception for multiple post of this article.

It is the only one that de-mystifies the hypocrisy and exposes the web of ties the leaders of these companies have with each other and their disturbing connections with outright socialist and leftist organizations that seek to undermine the United States

[Sacajaweau]

I love what these withdrawals said..."Rush's words don't reflect their values."

They're all saying the same thing....so of course they mean that they reflect Fluke's values...government funded abortion, sex, sex, sex...gays....

Why should I or anyone else EXCEPT YOURSELF provide 1 cent to fund your sex life??

[Nanny7]

I can’t get to American Spectator site. Do you think they’re “just busy” ... or something else interfering??? It’s likely they are swamped if many others sent emails with the link like I did.

[goseminoles]

I’ve never figured out why these companies were allowed to advertise on some of the conservative shows. Sean still does that work at home speech. That company is a scam.

[texaschick]

I would love to see Hannity and the rest to tell these companies who also advertise on their shows to take a flying leap.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I’m listening to him now. He says Flukes name is pronouced “Fluck”. Say what? Come again? Fluck? And she has a degree in sex studies? Come on, this ditz has GOT to be a put on. This is something out of a porn flick “Sex studies starring Sandra Fluck”. I can’t wat for Coulters column this week. It goes without saying she is researching this broads background right now.

[phil413]

We should definitely send a clear message to these spineless sponsors, and we should also send a positive message by supporting the sponsors who did not cave in.

In one way we do owe Fluke an apology for letting our culture keep sliding towards Gomorrah (as Robert Bork put it). That’s a sin of omission for which I must atone. Women have been brainwashed into believing that there’s no difference between the sexes and therefore if a man can hook-up “consequence free” so to speak, a woman should also be able to enjoy that so-called freedom. Of course it’s a big lie, but you have to feel sympathy for the likes of Fluke just as Christ had compassion for the prostitute facing stoning. What’s rarely mentioned is Christ’s last words to her - “go and sin no more”.
