ProFlowers Latest Rush Limbaugh Sponsor To Pull Its Business
A post on ProFlowers' Facebook page announcing it has suspended advertising on Rush Limbaugh's radio show. (Facebook)
By Michael A. Memoli March 4, 2012 The number of advertisers who have at least temporarily cut ties with Rush Limbaugh grew to seven on Sunday in the aftermath of the conservative radio host's self-described "insulting word choices" about a female law student.
ProFlowers, an online florist, is one of the latest companies to announce it would halt advertising on Limbaugh's show.
"Mr. Limbaugh’s recent comments went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company. As such, ProFlowers has suspended advertising on the Rush Limbaugh radio program," it announced on its Facebook page.
ProFlowers, like other Limbaugh sponsors, faced pressure from women's groups to end its relationship with his show after Limbaugh branded Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke, 30, a "slut" and "prostitute," equating Fluke’s advocacy of expanded coverage for contraceptives with her wanting to be "paid to have sex." Fluke has been a vocal supporter of a new Obama administration rule that mandates greatly expanded access to contraceptives through health insurance plans.
One activist group, UltraViolet, said 91,000 people had signed its petition urging ProFlowers to suspend advertising on Limbaugh's show.
"UltraViolet members are glad that ProFlowers decided to suspend their advertising from the Rush Limbaugh show. … Our members hope that ProFlowers will do the right thing and not only suspend their advertising but pull it permanently," it said in a statement.

Yep, and there are more of us than there are of them.
Its time to “Buy Right”, and only support those companies that share our values.
Haven’t heard that they withdrew.
The vast majority of the parasites vote democrat so good luck for these companies getting more business from the left wing voters.
An alleged comedian Chris Titus was on a local radio talk show Friday, ripping Rush. Then I found this....http://dailycaller.com/2011/06/07/comic-chris-titus-hints-at-assassinating-palin-if-she-gets-elected-president/
Yes, the outrage of the left is fake.
I’m going to keep my eyes on any other companies who drop Rush - I need new windows!
“Did LifeLock pull. I use them, but will drop if they did.”
No. LifeLock and the Keystone both use large taxpayer funded condoms to prevent flow these days.
I wouldn’t take them back if I where Rush.
Good start- Can FReepers start a counter boycott?
“What’s in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;”
And, that which we call a liberal activist, concerned with the moral degradation of the Catholic Church and every other religious order, THAT which would demand subsidizing immorality, by any other name,(liberal or progressive or feminist) would stink to high heaven.
Put THAT in your vase and sell it, Pro Flowers.
Yet another example of Selective Liberal Indignation.
I’m sure ProFlowers will get a lot of business from all those women who can’t afford to buy $9/month birth control but CAN afford to buy ProFlowers...
I was getting really tired of the same old commercials anyway. There will be other advertisers who fill the gap.
I havn’t heard anything about them, but carbonite dropped their sponsorship....
Not surprising since the mouth breather who founded the company is a bigtime moveon supporter
LOL.....WELL PLAYED !
Im not a liberal but I have your answer. In the political wars, boycotts are a weapon. In what war does someone turn a weapon on themselves.
If you want to counter attack, you have to start a petition to tell ProFlowers you will not buy from them because they are mixing politics with advertising.Have you called ProFlowers to tell them you will not buy from them because they pulled their ads?
Get off your lazy butt or take a beating by those that are outgunning you
PF suspended their account with Limabaugh
I canceled my account with PF
ProFlowers is also Sheri’s Berries and Cherry Moon Farms.
I’ve already unsubscribed from their mailer.
I suggest we start calling beginning first thing in the morning.
