7th advertiser pulls out of Limbaugh's show (vanity question How long have you listened to Rush?)

NEW YORK (AP) - A flower company is the 7th advertiser in recent days to say it is pulling ads from conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh's radio program. ProFlowers says on its Facebook page that it has suspended advertising on Limbaugh's program because his comments about Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke "went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company."

Unfortunately for the leftists, there's still a relatively free market for ideas in this country and, too bad so sad, conservative ones sell the best.

I don't think they're willing to pay the price for changing that.

It’s a Twitter based controversy reportedly initiated by a Media Matters staffer.

See what some are saying here twittbox

Rush is getting blasted on Twitter.

[VanDeKoik]

1992 or 1993-ish. It was the summer between 8th and 9th grade for me that I started listening regularly.

Hannity hawks their crap as well, it will be interesting to see what he has to say about this. Got balls Sean?

[Carriage Hill]

I had a terrible experience with that company for Mother’s Day, a few years ago. I’d NEVER use them again!

[Ancient Drive]

What would Rush say? go pound sand! I’ve listened to him since ‘88

[eyedigress]

Rush will survive. I only had an AM radio in my work truck in 1990. KFI 810 or something was it. I worked about 30mi WNW of Ajo,Arizona. No truer peace on earth.

[BlatherNaut]

Never used ProFlowers even when they were with Rush. Now I will tell all my friends to avoid them as well.

Ditto! Along with any other sponsors that pile on. He merely pointed out the obvious.

I may also join the boycott of his show for apologizing to that effin’ fraud. The only way he will get me back (for now) is to make an amendment to his apology: “I did not mean to call her a slut. I meant to call her a whore” I’m serious, I cannot believe he apologized.

It’s going to be very interesting Monday what Levin has to say about all this. Also, even though I no longer consider her a conservative, I have no doubt Ann Coulter will do a detailed expose on Ms. Flukes life on her column this week. She can’t resist. She is going expose the hell out of this grifter.

“There can be no debating liberals because there is no honesty in their outrage or positions.”

That is absolutely so.

And where does that leave us?

[Thorliveshere]

I had HEARD of Rush, but never heard him on the radio. Then a former friend told me was going to start a television show, so I agreed to come and view. So, since, what 1992 then I’ve been hooked.

[aruanan]

I’ve been listening since about 1990. When you actually heard what he said, how he said it, and take into account who he was saying it about and the occasion which made it all possible, it was pretty minor. It’s always a mistake when people judge the degree of offense by the degree of reaction by the Left. Truly horrendous things (such as 53,000,000 killed by abortion in the U.S. since 1973, over 60% of which came from minority populations that make up about 24% of the total U.S. population) don’t even rate a shudder, rather cheering. Other things, such as a Constitutionally-protected right to carry a gun or to practice religious liberty or to home-school or to practice free speech in criticizing socialists in Congress and the White House provoke hatred and scorn. The most sure thing you know about the Left is that generally whatever they praise is to be suspected and whatever they oppose is more likely than not to be praiseworthy, with a few notable exceptions, and even those things which can be opposed by conservatives are opposed from an entirely different worldview than that of the statist utopians.

Maybe Spatula City will buy time again.

Started listening early 1990

"ProFlowers and the other companies that have pulled there advertising from the Limbaugh show have proved that they have no regard for the First Amendment Rights of Rush Limbaugh."

Wow, its scary how many people who post on FR these days have no clue about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

You should read the First Amendment and commit it to memory before posting again on the subject.

Here is a hint: "Pro Flowers" is not "Congress"

I may also join the boycott of his show for apologizing to that effin’ fraud. The only way he will get me back (for now) is to make an amendment to his apology: “I did not mean to call her a slut. I meant to call her a whore” I’m serious, I cannot believe he apologized.

And I can't believe that you are so ill-informed about the content of his "apology." Of course, some people relish any opportunity to bitch. Look at the little birds that are always dive-bombing the big ones.

May all of these PC jokers go belly up with lost revenue.

[eyedigress]

Watch these advertisers learn who supports them. Occupy Wall Street idiots don’t buy anything. They have made a categorical mistake.
