CALIFORNIA mattress store chain SLEEP TRAIN has announced via Twitter that it has pulled its ads from RUSH LIMBAUGH's syndicated PREMIERE NETWORKS show after the host referred to a college student testifying about contraceptive availability as a "slut," then demanded that women on the pill provide sex videos since the government mandates insurance pays for the pill -- comments LIMBAUGH asserted were made as a form of absurd humor.

“Maybe they think Mattress Sandy will make a better spokesperson for their company than the MahaRushi.”

“Hi. I’m mattress Sandy here to tell you there’s nothing like taking a handful of taxpayer subsidized birth control pills, and getting a good night’s thumping on a Sleep Comfort mattress....”

Liberals have BIG MOUTHS and always threaten business but these business need to grow a spine!

It is time conservatives start SCREAMING from the rooftops too! At least, we actually spend money at most of these places unlike CHEAP liberals!

This woman never described herself as promiscuous. She said not a single word about her own sex life, or anyone else’s - the vast majority of her testimony was actually (misleadingly) focused on women who needed contraceptives for reasons other than preventing pregnancy.

This woman has given us every reason to call her an idiot, a socialist, and a liar (e.g., $3000 for birth control). But not a slut. It’s one thing to criticize the vile, unconstitutional policies this woman promotes. It’s another to go after her personally and call her a slut.

Name-calling, personal attacks, and the like are the domain of the left. Why stoop to their level?

They want too much personal info when emailing them. But as the owner of 2 Sleep Number beds, they’ll get the message when I tell the manager of my local Select Comfort store the reason I won’t be buying a third.

Contraception is available to everyone. It is as close as the nearest roll of Saran wrap.

People joke and threaten their own personal boycotts, but the sad fact is that the left is very successful at scaring national advertisers away from conservative talkers while the right is uniquely unsuccessful at punishing left wing talkers.

No matter how nasty and outrageous the quotes are on MSNBC or Current TV you still see mainstream national advertisers advertising there everyday.

Or Jimmy Fallon’s show when they played the ‘bitch’ song as Palin entered the stage?

That was Bachman.

This woman set herself up for the attacks she is getting and deserves every bit of it. She specifically chose this school because of it’s policy against contraceptives and her testimony was another knife in the back of religious institutions and other taxpayers who choose not to support contraception, abortion and sterilization. These liberties she is attempting to deny to all of us through her lies and deceit. I say flame away at her and those who are helping her to destroy the true RIGHTS of others.

Bet Rush is just devastated.

Ironic a mattress store dumps Rush over free birth control pills. Must’ve felt like he was ripping into their market somehow....

And surprise, it’s a Califreaky company.

Very Stupid on Select Comfort’s part. Rush made that company. They never learn.

Told my wife when this started, “Rush will see a 50% gain in listeners.”

I own a business that was controversial in certain markets. The negative press brought people out of the woodwork to see what this was all about. Been growing at 40% a year since. Rush will kick ass if he stays the course.
