Well, I cut up my Radio Shack card 3 years ago, I don't ride AmTrak, and there goes my Bose radio I was considering.

Yes, but did you tell the advertisers that there are two sides to that coin.

Aren't Radio Shack and Bose competitors in some product lines? If both of these companies pulled their ads from RL's show, it might not be the result of some pissant pressure group as this article would have us believe. Several sponsors have left Rush's show over the years simply because the client's ad contract had expired and they didn't have the budget to renew (Snapple and Florida Orange Juice come to mind). But the Rush haters will spin this any way they can to make it look like the show is in trouble. Snapple came back for a while, left, and came back again. I guess the payoff for advertising on Rush was just too sweet, since the company's sales took off every time they signed on for another ad campaign.

Amazing about radio shook. It hires a spokesman from the muslim terrorist camp and then backs away from a comedian. Radio shook carries a line on compaq computers, turn about would be fair play considering that most pc savy folks are not left wing extremestists.

Dito, I won't shop at Radio Shack

I won't take Amtrack

and Bose just lost my business

I'll buy JBL speakers.

That's what we have to do.

These companies who will not advertise on right-wing radio because of the thousands of protest letters from the DUmba$$ Rats need to be E-mailed by the MILLIONS of FReepers that do listen! Repeatedly and often.

I'm serious guys. This needs to be nipped in the bud yesterday.

They'll reconsider, just watch.

The Onkyo Surrond Sound receiver is better and cheaper than the Bose anyway.

Both sides practice boycotts and always have. They seldom work, for either side.

Despite the ads stating that Radio Shack isn't asking for names and addresses any more.......

I purchased a $10 item the other day and remarked that I was pleased not to have to get into an argument over the requirement to give my name and address.......they stated that if you buy anything that might be returned you still MUST give the name and address...........
