OK, stupid me, what is this tea everyone is writing about?

Rush’s company Two If By Tea at www.twoifbytea.com

Yes, it is expensive but it is the best tea I’ve ever had except for what I make at home. I love it. Shipping is free and they offer plain, peach, raspberry and blueberry and diet versions of each of those.

Why are these companies surrendering to these people? They don’t even have enough money to buy a condom, let alone their products.

I just emailed Sleep-Comfort that we were planning on purchasing one of their beds this weekend after receiving our tax refund. But due to their ignorance and bowing to the left wing crazies in this country, we will take our money else where. I USED to be a big customer of PRO-FLOWERS, but I will never again use their services.
If you screw with Rush, you screw with millions of his dedicated listeners.

All of these companies should be boycotted, and we should let them know why.

Slut will soon fade from memory. It’s just the controversy du jour.

Lovely reply from Pro Flowers - you can tell they don’t give a BLEEP:

Thank you for your feedback. We spend our advertising dollars across a wide spectrum of media channels. The views and opinions of the media outlets and personalities we advertise with are not necessarily those of our company.

We simply wish to delight our customers with fresh and unique gifting products, and that will continue to happen to the best of our abilities.
Best Regards,

CS Diane C
Customer Care
ProFlowers

Let proflowers know about it too, whether its phone, email or their FB wall where the left is all happy.

“We had one of those monstrosities, lasted two years then started to leak. Was a big disappointment even when it worked.”

I can’t say that surprises me. I think some of Rush’s advertisers are not all that great, but they have the political knowledge to know that if they advertise on EIB, they will do just fine. I suspect many of these advertisers will come back to Rush, with their tails between their legs, once they try to sell their product in the real world - where other advertisers are not afraid to enter.

They’re taking our money, religion, healthcare, etc.

Why not our speech?

Conservatives are sitting on their asses doing nothing - if I was a lib, I’d be pushing the envelope too.

Now go pay your taxes - the activists need your money. :)

Maybe Pro Flowers should include a free condom or two with every bouquet ..... this would definitely add a fresh, unique touch. Just a thought.

Glenn’s loss of advertisers compelled him to move to Internet where the subscriber pays for the programming, not advertisers. He also moved to Texas because NY is tooo expensive and when the ‘CIVOLUTION’ starts, who would want to be in New York?

“controversy du jour”

It’s interesting though that “dumb sluts” is such a desirable demographic for advertisers.

Makes sense though.

Dumb sluts are famously manipulable- just what an advertiser wants.

I usually start to tune out around 2:40. The end of the show was usually about Carbonite or Two if by Tea. Rest of the show is usually great, so not complaining per se.

Back to the topic at hand: It no surprise the left will be pulling out all the stops. Their usual M.O. is to distract with some sort of Reichstag publicity stunt. This “contraception” thing has been in the works for months.

Different colors, floral scents? Hire on Slut to work in marketing if they can get her out of the sack.

I’ll be glad to see Carbonite go. I detest the commercials because he reads them off as part of the normal show, I don't like them either.

"Let’s be honest. Rush’s vast radio empire and vast personal wealth can’t be maintained by small start ups. They literally can’t afford him."

You are absolutely correct.....when Rush just started. But now, he has enough money to retire today and not blink about it.

I think it would be a perfect set up. Rush helping new small business's get off their feet with his advertising. As they grow, so does his margin.

Look at how much money Rush gives to charity. What if he held a contest amongst all small business's just starting out...with a year or 2 of free advertising? If they take off, the profit margins start. If they don't, the next in line takes it's place.

Remember that bbq, or cookie selling thing he had going many moons ago and how many people showed up? Same concept.

Not only would it boost these small business's and Rush, but our economy as well.
