It is about time that American business recognize the influence of women on purchasing.

And BTW they don't like being called sluts.

> While we do not condone or agree with Limbaugh’s statements regarding
> Sandra Fluke, we respect his right to express his views


< Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown law student, was barred from testifying at the
all-male Republican birth control hearing because she (like all other women)
was deemed "unqualified." Undeterred, Fluke went on to testify at Democrats'
own hearing, and said that for a student at her school -- which offers
health insurance that does not cover contraception -- birth control can cost
an astounding $1,000 a year.

< Fluke was referencing a student who uses birth control for medical
reasons, but Rush Limbaugh nonetheless responded to her testimony with an
attempt to defame and shame her for advocating for women's health:

< What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] who goes before
a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have
sex -- what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a
prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex.

< She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception.

< And then, he said this:

< So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you Feminazis, here’s the deal. If we are
going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we
want something for it. We want you to post the videos online so we can all
watch...

< That is NOT true:
< PULL YOUR ADDS FROM THAT UN-AMERICAN MISOGYNISTIC SCUMBAG'S SHOW--
< NOW...

9. This is getting some real traction.

Perhaps the Bloated Sack has finally screwed the pooch. Couldn't happen to a more deserving asshat.

10. Autozone and Sleep Train have purged the excrement from their bowels

according to this link:

11. AutoZone: "ad was run in error"--

Heh...

[GoCubsGo]

12. I wonder how many of them will slip right back in a few months down the road.

How many of these advertisers are really gone for good? It will be interesting to check back a few months down the road to see if any of them start advertising there again.

13. They did it to Beck

Let's hope this does it for Limpballs. They should take him off the armed service too, Limpballs puts women's lives in danger.

15. I doubt it. Talk radio peaked a while back, and with the economy in the doldrums, the expense

of advertising on a hyper-partisan show which alienates many consumers is no so smart. Advertising dollars can be spent on entertainment shows. They are gone.

14. legal zoom has suspended all advertising also

legal zoom saying that they have suspended all advertising on the Rush Limbaugh . got it on facebook

[itsrobert]

16. Keyword "suspended"

Once this dies down, they will be back on the air. IMO.
