Growing list of companies reject host's bigoted rhetoric
WASHINGTON, April 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --
The Hate Hurts America Community and Interfaith Coalition (HHA) today announced that Motel 6 (http://www.motel6.com/), part of the Accor North America chain of more than 950 hotels, has joined a growing list of companies that have stopped advertising or refuse to place their ads on Michael Savage's "Savage Nation" radio program.
A company representative told HHA the chain will not air commercials on Savage's program "in any market."
HHA, a group of religious and civic organizations seeking to challenge hate speech on talk radio, was formed as a result of Savage's rhetorical attacks on religious and ethnic minorities. Coalition members are calling on advertisers nationwide to stop airing commercials on his nationally-syndicated program.

I wouldn’t stay at Motel 6 regardless, I always enjoy listening to Michael, good stories, and correct on most issues.
Sorta controversial. I don’t blame them for staying away.
And neither would I. I have this abiding fear of being beheaded in my sleep.
They need not leave the light on...
I don’t think I’d place an ad on Savage’s program either. All you’d get are the whiny-and-depressed demographic.
more people need to speak out about this like savage. the politically correct morons want to silence him.
this situation involves a real free speech issue
My wife and I spend a considerable amount of time in motels but Motel 6 isn’t one we stay in anyway. So no boycott for us.
Most Motel 6’s i,ve seen, look they are are being used by the hour. If you get my drift. Seedy would be putting it mildly.
Ping the infidels. I don’t have a list handy.
Thanks, Beaversmom!
IMHO, most people who go to a Motel 6 are not there for the free cable and furniture.
since when did it matter what Motel 6 did or didn’t do? Are they still “leavin’ the light on for ya?” Or did the greens bludgeon them off that message?
IMHO, most people who go to a Motel 6 are not there for the free cable and decor.
I’ve been in a Motel 6. That’s the demographic they’re after.
Check the source for this "news:" PR Newswire, the ultimate media whoring outfit. They'll publish anything for you if you have the bucks.
In other words, since this is not legitimate "news," the Hate Hurts America Community and Interfaith Coalition had to resort to paying to spread their propaganda.
If it's from PR Newswire, it may be an idle curiosity, but it is most certainly not "news."
Oh, and FWIW, releases from PR Newswire DO NOT need to be excerpted.
. . . a group of religious and civic organizations Hate Hurts America (HHA, pronounced H’ Ha! Ha Ha Ha H’ Ha! Ha Ha Ha Ha H’ Ha!. . . .)
Well I guess this means only one thing
I WILL NOT PATRONIZE MOTEL 6
Anything more you want to add to the list?
I and we can play this game too.
These organizations, left wing media and liberals have gotten hate speech mixed up with the TRUTH!
This is an inside job
