An NBA team? The way pro athletes treat women is better than how Rush TALKS about them? Kind of funny.

BTW — we got whoopie dropped as spokesperson for Slim Fast and got that hateful anti-Reagan hit piece starring mr. stresand moved to public cable so Conservative “boycotts” DO work.

Because we have money and all but a small number of power-crazed liberals (who wouldn’t have a DIME if not for capitalism) DON’T.

In fact, all this controversy has done is drive even MORE people to listen to Rush's radio show. Watch for a big spike up in Arbitron ratings for the show to as high as 18 million listeners per week because love him or hate him, everybody wants to know just what all the fuss is about.

If that is true, then all those advertisers who bailed on him are going to regret it.

Sluts are, by definition, the most desirable advertising demographic of all.

But there are occasions an advertiser profits from an informed, intelligent audience.

Good for Rush!!! Glad to hear it.

I may be critical of him at times; but, I also realize he does a whole lot of good and supports some very worthy causes. He deserves to do well.

Now that they dumped Rush, the long dark secret can finally be revealed:

ProFlowers seriously sucks.

My beloved got wilted deal old weeds. I was completely outraged.

“The REAL reason some of these advertisers are pulling their ads is because they are probably TANKING ANYWAY BECAUSE OF THE 0BAMA ECONOMY and now was an opportune time to act.”

I don’t think so. I think they were mostly a bunch of cowards and they picked the wrong side; Rush did really good today, Monday. Rush will be fine and this problem will go away. The advertisers will have to decide how to reach those potential buyers now after they dissed Rush and his audience. Note that conservatives actually buy and contribute whereas liberals just lust and covet.

I am surprised that Autozone has joined the group to pull advertisements. Their clientele is largely male and conservative.

I sent an email informing them I will stop doing business with them, they responded that “AutoZone has recently received several inquiries regarding our advertising policy. It is AutoZone’s policy to not advertise with any politically focused personalities or shows.”

What BS, why did they advertise with Rush in the first place if they were concerned with politically focused personalities or shows? Any company that pulls advertisement in a situation like this either wants to send a message or is run by chicken-livered weasels.

"Oh yeah, ProFlowers is toast."

It would be fun to know how these companies fair after boycotting Rush's show and pulling their adverts.

Maybe some of the Stock Market Freepers can track this info, would be very interesting to see if they lose dollars and/or market share.

“It is AutoZone’s policy to not advertise with any politically focused personalities or shows.”

what a joke
so, where are they going to find their target audience of consumers? Running ads on the sides of buses?

No doubt Rush listrners made these folks some bucks.
No more.

ProFlowers seriously sucks.

About three blocks from here is a florist in an industrial area. They sell a dozen fresh long stemmed roses for $19.99. So I'm going to order flowers from Proflowers why?
