As the Rush Limbaugh show became embroiled in
Rush Limbaugh's attacks on a female college student are scaring off advertisers. controversy Friday, Cleveland Cavalier's owner Dan Gilbert made a hasty exit, declaring his company would no longer support the talk-radio host with advertising dollars.
Gilbert announced via his Twitter account that Quicken Loans Inc. was pulling its ads from the show in protest over Limbaugh's verbal attacks on a female college student.
"Due to Rush Limbaugh's inflammatory comments along w/valuable feedback from our clients & staff, Quicken Loans has suspended ads on his show," according to a 4:09 p.m. Tweet attributed to Gilbert.

Jammie Wearing Fool reported:
I put that in quotes because in the beginning she was described as a Georgetown law student. It was then revealed that prior to attending Georgetown she was an active women’s right advocate. In one of her first interviews she is quoted as talking about how she reviewed Georgetown’s insurance policy prior to committing to attend, and seeing that it didn’t cover contraceptive services, she decided to attend with the express purpose of battling this policy. During this time, she was described as a 23-year-old coed. Magically, at the same time Congress is debating the forced coverage of contraception, she appears and is even brought to Capitol Hill to testify. This morning, in an interview with Matt Lauer on the Today show, it was revealed that she is 30 years old, NOT the 23 that had been reported all along.
In other words, folks, you are being played. She has been an activist all along and the Dems were just waiting for the appropriate time to play her.
For every advertiser who calls it quits on Rush’s show, there are probably at least a dozen or more waiting in the wings. I know if I had a product that I wanted to make a killing on, I’d want to advertise on his show. Everything Rush touches turns to gold. They’re shooting themselves in the foot.
Rush told the truth. Fluke decided to go to that College BECAUSE it didn’t pay for birth control.
A slut is a slut no if ands or buts.
Try a tempurpedic matress.
If Auto Zone did, I can use Advance, NAPA, etc.
Best prices, and no taxes taken to support the trough feeders - RockAuto.com
I’m sick of hearing the Lifelock commercials. I think I’m listening to Rush one minute, and then the next, he’s incorporating the Lifeline commercials into his show as though it’s part of his show.
“Stunner. Georgetown “Coed” Sandra Fluke Is a 30 Year-Old Women’s Rights Activist”
Sorry for being misleading in my post. Thanks for the links!
Never set foot in one. Advance and Auto Zone aren’t really that great.
One man’s activist is another man’s provocateur.
I believe Pep Boys is a conservative company. Auto Zone - go pack sand!
Why are these “independent” women needing to be dependent on government for a handout?
Sounds like her side has a gravity well problem the size of a small black hole! LOL!
Wow. There goes that Schwab/quicken refi I was planning.

My wife & I don't like our queen size sleep number either. It's fundamentally two side by side air mattresses with a remote control. If you don't both like the same setting, it's horrible. The firm partner rolls off their rock and "falls into" the soft partner's side. Even slight temperature variations throughout the day/night can vary the firmness significantly. When the firm side partner inevitably falls into the soft side, the soft side gets much harder as well - basic physics, gravity & pressure due to air mattress "technology." All around - air mattresses are a bad idea for a daily bed (ok for camping - that's about it), especially one with two occupants that don't want to sleep miles away from one another - in which case - get dual singles instead.
Wary of these too. None of the 3 couples I know of that have one like it. Complaints range from "extremely hot" to "it's like sleeping in wet cement."
“Why are these “independent” women needing to be dependent on government for a handout”
They’re not. Idiots such as Sandra, seeking the phone call from Obamao are nothing but pawns.
BEHAR: You know, she’s only focusing on Delaware. Isn’t she running for the Senate? It’s the United States Senate, Christine, not the Delaware Senate.
JUDGE KAREN MILLS-FRANCIS, JUDGE KAREN’S COURT: Yeah, but she’s a real train wreck, and the reason why she said that is, I mean, have you looked at this woman’s resume? She was a whore by her own admission. She was an alcoholic. She owed her college $5,000 for 10 years – they had to sue her. The IRS levied an $11,000 tax lien against her. I mean, do I need to go on?
