This is awesome. The next time some flap hits Rush, his sponsors are going to think really hard before pulling their advertising to appease the Radical Left. Just look at the nose dive Carbonite took and now these clowns groveling to come back. I bet their bed sales are in the toilet now.

[Steelfish]

It would be nice if we’d all call Sleep Train and let them know we’d never think of buying a Sleep Train bed in the future.

Your next battle is with the free market. Your company has infuriated many good people; the majority of the people that BUILT your business.

To: Sleep Train

For $1000.00 per week I'll use the words 'Sleep Train' as the signature on all my emails. Don't dismiss my offer to quickly, give it some thought.

[nutmeg]

Love it! Hope "Sleep Train" goes outta business fast...

Don't mess with Rush, nor his 20,000,000+ listeners!

[DemforBush]

Good for him! I have only contempt for a sponsor that tried to come back now. If they decided to make a business decision to drop Limbaugh, so be it. You make that call and you live with the the consequences. I could probably respect that, even if I don’t agree with the call they made or why they made it. But to come back and say “aw, we didn’t really mean it, Rush” after denouncing him very publicly and in no uncertain terms, is just the epitome of corporate weaseldom.

Rush is a cagey guy. It actually occurred to me that he might have provoked this on purpose to smoke out (and sift out) which of his sponsors are vulnerable to liberal pressure. Then, with his stable thus cleansed and his income stream immunized, he's even more free than before to say what he wants. Might be a long shot, but the thought crossed my mind.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Rush put Sleep Train in the catbird seat with his initial endorsement of the fortuitously helpful product of a company without a good sales plan or even a very attractively named product.

He’s got to know that they’re really going to suffer over their part in egging on Slutgate.

Will some deep pocketed liberal take them under his/her wing (to mix a metaphor)?

[fullchroma]

I’d sleep on a train track before buying from Sleep Train.

[fortheDeclaration]

Excellent!

[fish hawk]

Makes my night, going to bed with a big smile on my face. Laugh out loud!! this is better than just a LOL.

[GVnana]

That's gonna hurt Sleep Train more than it will ever hurt Rush. I have to wonder how this all came about.

Sleep Train was a local Sacramento shop -- an early sponsor of the Rush Limbaugh show. As Rush's fortunes increased, so did Sleep Train's. Hard to believe the original owner would have made such a stupid move.

[ReformationFan]

Good for Rush!

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Rush will not be pleased that this is public.

He never wants to dis people who sign up with him to get favorable publicity via advertising. Shadenfreude is fun, but not worth endangering business relationships.

[County Agent Hank Kimball]

Rush to SleepTrain: “Go Fluke Yourself.”

[reaganaut]

Good. I hope more advertisers come crawling back and Rush tells them where to shove it.

Of course, if I had a forum, I would call Fluke much worse than just a slut. Something about her just makes me want to vomit.

[The Citizen Soldier]

I live in the Sacramento area and I sent an e-mail to Sleep Train Monday informing them that as a conservative, I vote with my wallet. We needed a new California King mattress this past week-end and I spent $2,100 at Mattress Discounters who is almost directly across the street from Sleep Train.

I told them they would have gotten the first opportunity to get the sale because of their ads that run frequently on local Rush station, but because of their knee-jerk reaction to a liberal campaign they never got the chance.

I don't know how much business Sleep Train gets from the left, but for what it's worth, I paid cash.

Rush absolutely put Sleep Train on the map in Sacramento starting in the late 80's when KFBK became, as I understand it, their very first radio sponsor--during Rush's air time.

[muleskinner]

I bought a bed from Sleep Train in Dec. The mattress feels firm on one side and much less so on the other side. Time to tell them to give me a new one.

[dangus]

Hey Sleep Train, you know the expression: you made your bed....

[Raycpa]

Reliable source?

[AmericanInTokyo]

EAGLES UP!!!! PAYBACK IS A FLUKE.
