Thus the following companies need further encouragement to discontinue their advertising on the Rush Limbaugh show:

#4-Carbonite, #6-Oreck, #8 Auto Zone, #9 Legal Zoom, #10 Citrix Online, #12 Mission Pharmacal

Auto Zone just returned my call and indicated they do not advertise with Limbaugh.

6. Suspended?

Hope it goes beyond that.

[tosh]

8. Ditto that.

3. One of the commentators on MSNBC just said AutoZone was dropping the Turd

She said it was still unofficial but happening.

[tridim]

4. That would be four major advertisers in 48 hours.

I bet Rush is getting chewed out by management right now.

[Fumesucker]

7. Senators bow and scrape to Limbaugh..

You think management will dare to say boo to him?

[tridim]

11. Yes, it's now seriously affecting their profits.

When the 1% loses money, heads roll.

[Fumesucker]

13. I'm not sure that profits have much to do with Limbaugh..

Limbaugh is far too useful to them for reasons other than the profit on a few radio stations..

He can be effected but it's going to take more than has happened so far.

15. like Beck, I'm sure Rush could stay on the radio with no advertisers at all.

Rich RWers will pick up the tap, and allow him even more freedom to lie and smear.

It's worthwhile to boycott, though.

I wish we could get him off Armed Forces Radio.

12. Cool!

[Iggo]

23. Rush IS management.

He ain't gettin' chewed out by nobody.

[tridim]

26. He doesn't manage his affiliates..

Who make their money from advertising on his show.

You lose 5 or 6 major advertisers it doesn't matter who you are, you're in big trouble.

5. Rush's sponsors are dropping like dominoes. Beautiful! nt

17. Do Men that Don't Respect Women Send Flowers?

This flower company needs to get off that sinking ship!

[wilsonbooks]

20. And folks are kicking the crap out of them

on their fb page.

[mercuryblues]

22. They sure are!

I'm lovin' it.

Within an hour my post sunk to 5 pages back. There were about 700 posts under their stated position, now there are over 2,500. Someone mentioned earlier that PF web site removed there comment button off their website. There are getting bombarded.

[MelissaB]

19. Yeah! Called them this morning.

[PA Democrat]

21. Woo hoo!

Keep up those calls and letters coming folks!

[Uncle Joe]
