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.

"I wouldn’t stay at Motel 6 regardless,..."

And neither would I. I have this abiding fear of being beheaded in my sleep.

I don’t think I’d place an ad on Savage’s program either. All you’d get are the whiny-and-depressed demographic.

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.

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?

I’ve been in a Motel 6. That’s the demographic they’re after.

When is news not news? When you have to pay to get it noticed.

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.

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
