Attack by Limbaugh Awakens a ‘Stop Rush’ Campaign
NYT ^ | 3/2/12 | BRIAN STELTER

Posted on 03/03/2012 10:37:06 PM PST by Nachum

Actually, they are remobilizing. A Twitter account, “Stop Rush,” which has been dormant since late 2010, woke up on Wednesday, when Mr. Limbaugh first called the student, Sandra Fluke, a “slut.”

On Friday, as complaints from “Stop Rush” and others about Mr. Limbaugh’s comments mounted, a handful of companies said that they had halted their advertising on “The Rush Limbaugh Show,” at least temporarily.

One of the companies, Quicken Loans, wrote on Twitter, “Due to continued inflammatory comments — along with valuable feedback from clients and team members — QL has suspended ads on Rush Limbaugh program.”

Two mattress companies, Sleep Train and Sleep Number, made similar statements on Friday. A representative of Sleep Number wrote on Twitter, “Recent comments by Rush Limbaugh do not align w/ our values, so we made decision to immediately suspend all advertising on that program.”

Mr. Limbaugh’s comments on Wednesday about Ms. Fluke, who had testified in support of the Obama administration’s requirement that health insurance plans cover contraceptives for women, were immediately noticed by Media Matters, a liberal media monitoring group that has been raising red flags about Mr. Limbaugh’s language for years.

Great. I’m cancelling my Carbonite, too. F**k them. If they want to be p*ssies for the Left, let them have it.

I don't know who this joker is but how about we start a campaign to force Georgetown to expel Ms, Fluke for bringing such negativity to its good name?

It looks like Rush doesn’t have any reason to avoid talking about Obama’s fake birth certificate anymore. War.

When are they going to realize that as it is today, media (as they define it) Doesn’t matter. These people are flakes, flukes, whatever. They’ve been at this game fr decades because they can’t compete in the market, ala Air America. Sniveling, craveen, spoiled little brats. They use every tool (and I do mean Tool) the stifle opposition. It hasn’t worked thus far and it won’t work now.

Now, why is it that it’s okay for advertisers to pull out of Rush Limbaugh’s sponsorship, due to concerns about his program content, but it was NOT okay for Lowe’s to pull out of advertising the reality show “All American Muslim”, due to concerns about that program’s content???

You hit upon a crucial reality regarding dealing with the Left. The concept of "fairness" does not apply. They are allowed to do anything they want to conservatives because conservatives are Evil. Nobody is allowed to displease a Leftist in any way, because the Left is Good and Noble.

Rush is a survivor. .This however will hurt Santorum in my opinion. . . even though Rick didn’t say it.

Sadly to everyone I pinged I noticed something the last few weeks. It started on Facebook for those that use it. But the left is in full character assassination mode.

I made a few "controversial comments" on FB to weed out people who are Obama Worshipers only to have them copy my statements and post them claiming....... I'm a RACIST!!!

Because God forbid if you oppose Obama you are a racist!

To Jim Robinson, thank you for providing a home where we can express ourselves without the race pimps screaming "racist" anytime you criticize Emperor Zero.

And Nachum, keep pinging me to your threads, this is one of the last bastions of freedom on the internet. I foresee a very ugly future. And if the dictator and his friends from ACORN give him another 4 years, I doubt we'll have a country left.

I finally watched Atlas Shrugged and literally got chills...

For a second I thought that was Chis Cristie. :o

Otherwise, I think the left’s attempt to make contraceptive (”women rights”) the focus of the upcoming election is not going to work. In fact, it may very well backfire on them.

Sandra Fluke and the Media Matters people need to get a life.

There's something that you and others really need to understand. This IS their life! This is their Mission! While you and I are most interested in hanging out with our spouses, our kids, our friends -- while we are focused on earning a living so we can put our kids through college or whatever, these people are totally focused on their Mission.

The committed Left can best be thought of like Terminators.

"Listen, and understand! That Terminator is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead." - - - - Kyle Reese

To a committed Leftist, his life has no meaning except to the extent that he advances the Mission of bringing the world under total socialist domination. They will, like William Ayers, devote DECADES of their lives to the purpose of getting power to implement the Plan.

Glenn Beck called Obama a racist, lost advertisers, and lost his TV show. Anyone notice how many times Rush stops himself from saying something? The left is evil and vile and relentlessness. They churn out more leftists in the public schools and colleges. They control the govt (even when Republicans are in office, liberals are in control) the media, the schools and the foundations. I know many liberals and keep my mouth shut as they are nuts and I want to have a reasonably quiet life.

After cancelling subscription to Carbonite, I later checked the site and got this message: Maintenance In Progress

Recommend Crashplan ( www.crashplan.com for your on-line data backup ). In the years I've been using crashplan they have never gone down, to my knowledge.

Being on Facebook is a bad idea. If you ever get a Leftist among your "friends", and you make any statement that impugns the Left, he will conduct a campaign against you (as you've noticed). He will try to discover where you work and complain about your being a racist to your HR dept. If he can find people at your workplace who are Leftists, he will talk to them about seeing to it that your career is sabotaged. Any organizations you belong to will receive complaints about you. etc.

I think she’s actually a lesbian. Who was trying to make the case that even lesbians need the Pill for non-sexual activity like treating polycystic ovary syndrome. So Catholic institutions like G’town are supposedly denying healthcare to lesbians with PCOS.

I heard a gynecologist call into Mark Levin and explain that her testimony about PCOS was untruthful.

So absurd - anyone can get the Pill cheaply or free from a variety of sources. We’ve all had to pay for or go without things that insurance
doesn’t cover. But they’ve gotten control of the narrative and are leaving the majority of women thinking of the GOP as the party that will take away
your contraception.

Found this at another site.

Georgetown University requires certain groups of students to have health insurance coverage. Students enrolled in nine (9) or more credits in a degree-granting program (Eight or more if a graduate or law student) as well as those enrolled full-time in thesis research will be charged for the university’s most comprehensive insurance plan, the Premier Plan. The cost is $1895 for the 2011-2012 year. Coverage is effective August 15, 2011 through August 14, 2012.

You may waive the Student Health Insurance plan through MyAccess beginning in July provided that outside coverage meeting university requirements is documented.

http://http://studentaccounts.georgetown.edu/Information/TuitionandFees/healthinsurance.html

Its the UNA Card. Any good Lawyer, advocate or FRIEND would have told those women too poor to buy their scripts about it. That so called hearing was a sham, geared towards forcing a school to pay for something against their conscience and to try and get it for free to boot.

http://http://unarxcard.com/about.html

This program makes prescriptions more affordable for the uninsured and the underinsured, and can be used to supplement most health insurance plans. Membership to the UNA Rx Card program is completely FREE and available to everyone. No personal information is required to join and there are no enrollment forms, no eligibility requirements, and no restrictions of any kind. Creating a card online is a quick and easy process.

The UNA Rx Card program provides members with savings as high as 80% on prescription medications (average savings are roughly 30%). It is accepted at over 56,000 pharmacies around the country and provides discounts on both brand and generic medication. This program uses Lowest Price Logic to guarantee that members always get the best pricing on prescriptions.
