Here's an updated list of which companies pulled ads on Rush's show and which remain...


During the day on Friday, Limbaugh sponsors began responding to the outcry over his statements. Jaybercrow updated the Reddit list several times on Friday as sponsors pulled their deals with Limbaugh. By Saturday morning, Legal Zoom, Citrix Success, Heart and Body Extract, AutoZone, Quicken Loans, Sleep Train, Sleep Number and Oreck said they yanked ads from Limbaugh's show.

Nine companies remain on the list: ProFlowers, CARBONITE, Inc., Mid-West Life Insurance Company of Tennessee, American Forces Network, Mission Pharmacal Company, Life Quotes, Inc., Life Lock, Tax Resolution and AOL, parent company of The Huffington Post.

sees this? I've taught in two different states, and both schools instituted a school wide anti bullying program. People act like bullying is a phenomenon that only occurs in schools. This just in... the power of modeling cannot be understated. Again this week we renewed our horror at yet another school shooting in Chardon. Bullying may have played a part. Rush Limpballs uses the public airwaves to bully and intimidate every day. There is tacit approval by our society. Now is a chance to attempt to bring a change and restore civility. You must act NOW that the heat is on! Please call these sponsors and let your feelings be known. I sure did.
