Ace Hardware Resumes Laura Ingraham Advertising, Sparking Outrage
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/ ^ | 4/13/18 | Jenna Amatulli

Posted on 04/13/2018 7:25:35 PM PDT by BBell

A spokeswoman for the hardware chain told The Wrap the company had “incomplete information” when it decided to stop advertising on “The Ingraham Angle.”

Ace was among numerous companies that fled Ingraham’s show after she mocked David Hogg, a survivor of the February mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 people dead.

“Advertising on any network or show, is in no way an endorsement from Ace of the content contained or spoken within that program,” the Ace spokeswoman said in a statement.

“We appreciate the different points of view from our customers, and believe people should be treated with respect and civility. ... At this time, we have not altered our current media schedule; however, we regularly review our media strategy.”

A week ago, an unnamed Ace spokeswoman confirmed “we do not have any plans to nationally advertise on Ingraham’s show in the future,” according to The Wrap.

HuffPost couldn’t immediately reach an Ace representative for comment.

Fear of liberal outrage prevents me from getting a good night’s sleep.

Rush survived, and when the brouhaha fizzled, many of these former sponsors wanted to come back. However, Rush told them to go jump in the lake, and I don't believe any of them ever returned.

I remember that. I think one of those sponsors was Carbonite.

People on social media quickly vented their outrage with Ace’s reversal, with some vowing to boycott

Senior management at ACE likely thought and said, "If we are to worry about a boycott, let's worry about the boycott by people who actually buy stuff."

You asked.

How many SJWs does it take to change a lightbulb?

1.Nobody knows, since they always sit in the dark and complain about lightbulb privilege.

2.Just one. She just stands there with the lightbulb in her hand, and the whole world revolves around her.

3.Three. One to call the landlord to change the lightbulb for her because Daddy wasn't there and never taught her how, and two others to console her over her fear of the dark.

4.First they have to loot the bulb.....

5.None: They'll just sit in the dark and demand light.

6.They can't change the bulb cuz..... They would have to turn right to screw in the bulb.....

7.none. they just protest and complain about being treated unfairly by the fixture.

8.They don't. They just sit around in the dark bitching until a politician hires a straight white guy to change it just to shut them up.

I think Gorka would have strangled her if they were in the same room.

Laura Ingraham didn’t mock the spoiled brat in relation to his claim to fame.

Laura Ingraham mocked the spoiled brat for his public whining about an unrelated manner.

As opposed to people who loot stuff.

she was pretty out of control. there is no way that blowing up a bunch of syrians is going to lead directly and inevitably to president elizabeth warren,

must not have been a very restful vacation.

Carbonite's stock fell sharply immediately after they decided to drop Rush, and many of its stockholders were furious.

I’ve given her non-stop moronic asides, nervous giggles and ear-piercing shrieks enough of a chance. I’ve listened to her relentless “endless war” diatribes for the last time. “NEWSFLASH,” Miss Ingraham: This country is “at war” three-hundred-and-sixty-five-days-a-year, every year, in various spots all over the globe. We simply aren’t informed of it. The way that she attacked Sebastian Gorka, tonight, was “the final straw,” for me. If either Laura or her military guest, Colonel McGregor, believes that she or he could make better decisions than Mr. Trump, then run for President!

After her smirking, obnoxious behavior tonight, I think I’m going to contact Ace and ask them to resume the boycott.

I’m sure David Hogg and his alliance will appreciate that.

I was in San Bernardino when the terrorist attack occurred.

That makes me the survivor of an ISIS attack and as such an expert on all Middle East issues.

Hubby bubba listens to Laura each morning. I have learned to tune her out. I find her very annoying.
