Rush Boycott

[Conservative Kay]

I just went to takebackthemedia.com (know your enemy) and saw replies from Oreck to the boycotters. They pretty much said "Shove it". Let's send Oreck emails of support.http://www.oreck.com/customer-service/contact-oreck.cfm Also, Scottrade.com actually has a "how did you hear about us" choice for Rush Limbaugh.

I appreciate Oreck for taking that stand....even if their product 'sucks'.....

[hapy]

wonderful wonderful news!
Yet another loss for the libbys.

Do they ever win?

Yeah, they stuck with the most corrupt administration since the Grant Administration and the most Macheiavellian (sp?)president ever - TWICE!

Conservatives can NOT rest on our laurels.

Thank you e-mail bump...

Before Xmas I bought a lot of items from Overstock. I just emailed them and told them I can no longer do business with them due to this issue. I left my name and address so they can see how much money I am not going to be giving them anymore : )))

BTTT!!!!!!

[Democratshavenobrains]

Why haven't the DUmbasses and other assorted lefties been boycotting Rush for years by now? Whats so special about the present? Hasn't he been doing the same things for over a decade?

[Katya]

I went to takebackthemedia.com's site and used their info to contact both the companies who were agreeing to stop advertising on Rush and those who were continuing. Overstock obviously has no one looking at the demographics of net customers....overwhelmingly right of center as are the users of the net.

I love my Oreck. I bought my first one many years ago and it works great. My mother bought one on my recommendation.

[Mudboy Slim]

So Oreck told the Lefties to "STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE"?!!

If so, AWESOME!! They will be receiving an email from...MUD

[Dionysius]

Now it's time for us to boycott those who caved into the boycotters! Everything has a price.

[MHT]

Remember what happened to Snapple....They were one of Rush's biggest and earliest sponsors and their market exploded. They sold out to Quaker Oats, who did NOT advertise on Rush's show (conflicts with their own opinions). Result--Snapple just ain't what it used to be.

Moral of the Story--when you advertise with Rush, stick with it. Ultimately, your business will suffer if you withdraw for political reasons.

Here is a copy of the actual E-mail in which they told SymbolBoy to shove it

"I certainly appreciate your constructive thought and input into the current situation. The situation is not simply about Oreck pulling out of what is financially a very profitable time slot, it is instead about people trying to remove a figure they see as dangerous or evil. In this case, the removal of Oreck will only open the slot for another corporaiton, who will pay just as much and receive the exact same thing.

This cycle is not going to end as you will be fighting companies who purchase air time for as long as Rush Limbaugh has a show.

The only reason why companies strive for this air time is not because they fully agree with whatever Rush Limbaugh says today or tomorrow, but rather because it is one of the largest nationally listened to radio show in the United States. The more controversial it becomes, and the more people fight it, the larger it is likely to get. We have all seen this phenomenon before.

For Oreck, this situation is not about patriotism, as our patriotism as a company in America cannot be questioned by anybody, it is about who is going to have a job and who is not going to have a job. We have thousands of people all across America who rely on Oreck for their income. There is a possibility that some stores will close down due to lost profit from the Rush Limbaugh slot, as it is an incredibly profitable method of advertisement for us.

The reason I am telling you the grim truth about what happens when a large corporation suddenly loses money is because you, as a protester,generally do not think of anything outside of the current agenda. This is by no means an insult. Instead it is an attempt to allow you, as only one person, to realize that there is going to be circumstances to an action that will cost a considerable amount of money over time. At this time, I am not aware of any swing towards cutting the Rush Limbaugh slot or not. It will take some time before we know whether or not we will pull out from the position. We appreciate your continued patience while we wait until a final decision is made.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us again.

It doesn't work for everybody... remember "Loreado and Lefty's Salsa"?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Rush crossed the line when he dared tell the truth about the "peacenik" protestors...said they were led by anti-American leftists. Nothing angers these losers like the truth.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks for going into enemy territory. Have you heard the response from other corporate sponsors?

Mud, Oreck isn't buying the lies from the left. (^;

Dear Mr. Harris,

Where we advertising is not a reflection of agreement or disagreement with the editorial content of a publication or program. Thank you for contacting us with your ideas. We value all our customers.

Dear Carolyn,

It saddens me to hear that Bose is not going to advertise on Rush's show. I am a pilot and own 4 pair of your aviation headsets. I used to promote the headsets, but I can't in good conscience continue doing so. I will probably sell them.

Sincerely,

LeGrande Harris

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks, LeGrande. Bose suddenly stopped advertising on Rush's show because Rush doesn't generate revenue for them? Rush's listeners won't buy that. Big mistake, Bose.

Mud, second confirmation...Bose caved.

[Mudboy Slim]

"Big mistake, Bose."

Yep...you mess with El Rushbo and yer messin' with...MUD
