As advertisers keep joining in on the Rush Limbaugh boycott, one company only lasted a week before it went back to the conservative talk show host with its tail between its legs. But Limbaugh is not ready to forgive and forget.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Sleep Train, which had advertised with Limbaugh for 25 years, asked to relaunch a "voiced endorsement" on Limbaugh's show on Thursday ... and they were turned down.
The funny thing is, Sleep Train was the first advertiser to pull its ads from Limbaugh's show. After receiving a slew of angry messages for advertising on Limbaugh's show after he called a Georgetown law student a "prostitute" for advocating for inclusion of birth control in insurance plans, the mattress company Tweeted:
We don't condone negative comments directed toward any group. In response, we are currently pulling our ads from Rush with Rush Limbaugh.

Did you happen to save that pic? Apparantly something happened. Maybe the lefty who hosted it either took it down or substituted something. Anyways admin mod killed the entry. Tell me you have the animation, and I can host it.
Rush is probably worth one half billion bucks or more. I don't think he cares to much about things backfiring.
lets also not forget, if this advertiser will buckle at this one tiny thing then they will buckle again.
Let them join the Obama recession and have the competitors take hold.
That's what a FReeper who allegedly works for a radio station said early last week. It was one of those "I'm in the know" type of comments.........
If you've been reading them online then please, post the links.
There ain't no way in hades that advertisers are going to pull out of any media that has millions of audience listeners..........
Exactly. They were more than willing to make money off of Rush.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

A little late to the show, aren’t you, HT?
I did not “attempt to cover” myself, nor did I LIE. I told it like I saw it, and when I found out off the thread that I WAS WRONG, I came back on and said so. There is actually a difference between being WRONG and LYING.
No..future advertisers will realize that having 20 million listeners in the richest demographic of all is not something you mess around with.
"..ThinkProgress has reported that 50 companies requested their advertising be pulled from the Rush Limbaugh show following his sexist attacks on Sandra Fluke. The publication of the memo adds an additional 90 companies to the list of companies that have dropped Limbaugh:

If this is true Rush has trouble! This is what was done to Beck.
Some how the second non-italicized line didn’t come through, it was ...zot.
Need I say more?
You know what? You’re a strange jerk. After just getting your FReepmail, I can say so.
I already said to you, and to the whole thread (from last week), THAT I WAS WRONG ABOUT CARBONITE—WRONG! Oh, I certainly THOUGHT I was right, until I FOUND OUT I WAS WRONG, AND I QUICKLY SAID I WAS WRONG!!!
Why don’t you go pound sand?
Strange? Tell you what, post it and let the others here decide..........
Just to save you the trouble Gina, here's a copy of that "strange FReepmail" I sent you...........
I’m not late to the party Gina, you are. Thatcher busted you and your claim because Thatcher is an employee of EIB and has been since she joined. You’re too much of a newbie to know that..........Like I said, be careful what you say because you never know who’s a member here. As a side note, Tony Snow was also an occasional contributor before his untimely death........
Okay. This is what I found to be strange and "veiled" in your FReepmail to me:
As a side note, Tony Snow was also an occasional contributor before his untimely death........
Andrew Breitbart was also a contributor, but whatever.
I have already apologized to M. Thatcher for my stupid, mistaken comments, and M. Thatcher accepted my apology, so your belated attack is unwarranted. If M. Thatcher wants to come back at me, that's a different story. You should have been on the original thread a week ago, where I quickly admitted my mistake--that way, your attack on me would not have been so damned "out of the blue."
