ProFlowers just announced on Facebook that it is dropping its advertising on Rush. DailyKos and others had been organizing a boycott of ProFlowers, which had held out until now. For full article here is the link:

Leftists are using any means possible , particularly on social media where they get there minions to post, to get Rush Limbaugh off the air. I guess the emails finally got through to Proflowers. Goodbye, Proflowers!

The Left can only make non-substantive attacks. Sure Limbaugh's comments included a personal slur but his attack in the main was substantive and the loony left doesn't and can't refute it. The Left doesn't have a substantive leg to stand on so they'll attack collaterally instead. All they can do is take a comment out of context, beat an emotional drum, and chant - this time it's "Stop Rush."

Captures them in a nutshell - the so-called Intellectual Progressive movement is really irrational and degenerative.

Is someone keeping a list of those who are dropping Rush?

I want to know who to boycott.

Dammit all, Glenn Beck was warning about this sorta thing just this last monday.

I hate to see these companies cowering so easily to special interests....

Gotta protect that goddamned “mouse”....

I am disgusted....Not with Rush but the spineless advertisers.

I may have to buy more Tea.

OH WAAAAH.

For every advertiser who protests/cancels there are about a thousand who are willing to pony up the congfiscatory rates to reach 20 million listeners.

oh well.

Let’s see if they boycott Rush closer to Mothers day and if they are still gone next Valentines day. Lots of flower shops around,should probably buy locally anyway,
don’t need proflowers.

[geege]

1800flowers.com is great....I use them all the time(:

[toddausauras]

Rush will survive and thrive. I only hope he continues to stay safe. The left wants him gone.

[mick]

I concur with that...Free Republic should run an on going list of who is scrubbing Rush to we can return the favor to the spineless bastards !!

[jiggyboy]

Rush should call ProFlowers personally and order their biggest bouquet to be sent to Fluke and make a big deal about it on the air, then call Sleep Train and do the same thing.

Rush is going to get the last laugh on this one. His tea sales are going to go through the roof & all the cowards who cut and ran from advertising on his show are going to find out that Rush listeners are loyal ..... they purchase products that are advertised on Rush .... the Left does not. The Left is not going to make up in sales what the advertisers will lose when all the Dittoheads boycott them. I doubt Rush will take them back either. Bottom line, ProFlowers, Carbonite, et al are in the process of being “Fluked”. Big time.

I’ve never bought from any of them anyway. LegalZoom? From the guy that represented OJ? No thanks.

The only one I’ve bought from is Cherries Beries(sp) And I must say, the recipient of my gift LOVED them.

But I’ll make them myself if they join this feigned ‘anger’ response...

[mrsmith]

Stupid: nobody sends flowers to sluts...

I wrote to proflowers, earlier to tell them that I would never be buying their product, ever.

[Mountain Mary]

I think Pro Flowers is mediocre. Buy locally!
And Freepers, do you like iced tea? Rush’s is the best.
Blueberry and raspberry are my faves.

[Jacquerie]

I think you nailed it. There are certainly obscure companies with super products that Rush will now sign up.

Sidebar, I wonder if Levin, Bennett and others will drop once no name entities like Sleep Number Beds, Carbonite, Citrix in simpatico with El Rushbo. The demographics of Conservative radio must be awesome.

I just sent two of my daughters’ Sherries Berries choc. covered strawberries for V. Day. They said they were the size of fists and the best they’d ever had.

I just sent emails to all the companies pulling their advertising from his show. I also emailed the websites to 2 dozen friends to do the same. Hit them where it hurts, their wallet.
