Good for Rush. And now let his former advertisers ply their wares on Al Gore’s Current TV which I think as 15 viewers.

He who does not like revenge has never tasted it.

This could backfire for Rush if the story is true.

You NEVER burn your bridges in the business world if you can help it.

Bad business decision from Rush if it is true. Future advertisers will keep this mind.

I think it is more about Limbaugh not trusting the advertisers that betrayed him rather than revenge. Eitherway Rush holds the cards.

Somebody please post a list of these companies.

I want to put them on my For Ever And Ever Boycott List.

it’s time to return the favor... the left has been doing it for years

any company that advertises on a program or channel that provides progressive propaganda that attacks America, conservatives, or is an affront to Christian values... should be contacted, explained what they did wrong, and inform them you will start boycotting their product... and will make sure to contact 10+ friends to encourage them to do the same.

this is exactly what the left has been doing for years. it’s time to strike back.

we out number them... MAKE IT HURT

I don’t think rush grasps the unintended consequences of this. It goes far beyond the advertisers that deal with his show. This new age of the perpetually offended, both liberal and conservative is surely going to dissuade advertisers from spending their money on anything or anyone even remotely political.

“As advertisers keep joining in on the Rush Limbaugh boycott,...”

Really, advertisers are continuing to leave?

Seeing Sleep Train and Carbonite get served a severe lesson in economics and human behavior, I’m guessing not too many companies want to be next in line.

Limbaugh I am sure has forgiven them, however that does not in anyway mean he has to reactivate the advertising contracts.

My guess is that Rush is probably most ticked at those companies that pulled advertising and also made nasty PR statements. He may look differently on those advertisers who just kept it about business.

That's what I'd suggest, at any rate.

Is GEICO on the dropped list? I have three policies and will have to make a change to State Farm or one who does advertise on Rush, if so.

"the West Coast mattress supplier's president remembered that when Limbaugh left town for New York, "he said, 'The people you meet on the way up are the people you meet on the way down. I'll always take care of you.'"

Hmmm. I think that's supposed to work both ways. Sleep Train should have given a bit more thought to that before they reacted in such a knee-jerk fashion to the liberal 'outrage'. Had they waited just a few days, they could have had plenty of cover to continue on Rush's show, with the information that came to light about the TRUE misogyny on the liberal side, not the ginned up accusations of the libs against Rush.

I especially enjoy firing these advertisers on-line, when they ask “why” you no longer want to do business with them.

“You boycott Rush, I boycott you!”

... after he called a Georgetown law student a "prostitute" for advocating for inclusion of birth control in insurance plans, the mattress company Tweeted:

Totally outrageous lie from a driveby!!!!

As outrageous as this:

I just heard a Lifelock ad on Rush's show on 1210 Am in Philadelphia. I thought Lifelock pulled their advertising. As for dead air or PSAs, I've hear none.

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.

Nor should he. These people deserted him with great fanfare and lots of publicity. They owe their bottom lines to him and if they are now bleeding profits, they are the only ones responsible.

Rush, the majority of America stands WITH you and we support you. Just keep doing what you do so well!!
