1. K&R

[Sparkly]

2. Yay!!!!

[jillan]

3. Still waiting for Proflowers. Flowers are usually purchased for Women. This burns my butt.

[csziggy]

5. Yeah, but sexist pigs are probably the men who buy most of the flowers

Because they would be the ones who would piss off the women in their lives much more often than sensitive liberated men.

[spooky3]

21. That may be what they assume but I'll

Bet they're wrong.

Many women send flowers to their mothers, daughters, sisters, friends--and husbands. And many men are disgusted by sexism.

6. I just emailed proflowers

[spooky3]

22. I did too and got a bland corporate response

Along the lines of "we advertise on many programs where views don't necessarily reflect ours" etc.

I replied to say I would not again order from them.

I hope other former and prospective customers will too.

[catrose]

30. I did so yesterday n/t

[11 Bravo]

32. I emailed them as well, but my final sentences said, "Please do not offer me a boiler-plate ...

response along the lines of, 'We are not responsible for, nor do we support the words of a talk show host.' Your money provides him a platform from which to spew his filth, so you ARE responsible."

[spooky3]

34. very nicely put!

Thanks to all who contacted ProFlowers or any other sponsor.

I think if enough of us do it, they will change their actions.

[ohheckyeah]

4. How many does that make now?

Quicken books
2 mattress companies
Legal Zoom
citriz

Anybody else?

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. there was a tweet a bit ago that the number is 6....see below

ThinkProgress ? @thinkprogress
MORE: @citrix says it won't advertise on Limbaugh anymore. That makes 6 companies to drop Rush today.

[ohheckyeah]

10. Thanks -

I appreciate the info.

[sarcasmo]

24. Autozone

[PA Democrat]

8. Sweet!

Hey Rush, ask Glenn Beck how that internet thing is working out for him.

[Thinkingabout]

9. Maybe the Koch brothers will spring for Rush

I almost bet he will say he was under the influence and go back in rehab or make the GOP feel sorry for him since he is taking the heat for a poor field of candidates they are trying to push

[banned from Kos]

11. Rec, rec, rec, rec, rec, rec and

fuck Rush Limpcock.

[Uncle Joe]

12. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, NRaleighLiberal.

[nobodyspecial]

13. Keep up the pressure

With so many defecting, it is REALLY bad PR for any company that remains. Actually, mentioning others who have left might be a good point to emphasize, noting that remaining makes it seem the company is endorsing the comments. Maybe a movement for women to refuse delivery from Proflowers.

[calimary]

27. LOCAL sponsors, too. You can fight back with the LOCAL sponsors. Here's how:

BEST THREAD ON DU!!!

I've already shared it on five other Facebook pages besides just my own. I strongly suggest everyone else share this as widely as possible. From the perspective of a former radio insider and it's Absolute Solid Gold-Pressed Latinum! As a former radio person myself, I couldn't agree more! 'Cause I've seen it work with my own eyes.

[pokerfan]

14. He still has Armed Forces Radio

he's been on there for what, twenty-five years?

[jwirr]

23. Who do we contact to get that out of his hands?

[pokerfan]

26. it's managed by the DoD so we contact our representatives

15. Autozone...

...is sending nonspecific autoreplies to Limbaugh questions. The gist is that they have a policy not to advertise with political shows. Either this is a very new policy or they have some weaselly way of considering him just an entertainer. I asked for clarification, but have received none.

Anybody gotten anything clearer from them? I'm really not happy with the answer I got. You can see their response by emailing [e-mail] and mentioning Limbaugh.

On edit: Autozone has been advertising with Limbaugh for a very long time, and has been unshakable in the face of other Rush-related controversies. If we can get them to commit to dropping him, it will have been a real coup.

16. K/R N/T

[cilla4progress]

17. Got an email from Carbonite President earlier today

in reply to my protest email to him...said they have received huge amount of negative feedback, and plan a face-to-face with Limbaugh next week to discuss. I think they should simply dump him!

[yortsed snacilbuper]

18. "a face-to-face with Limbaugh"

The President of carbonite is a sick person!

[dogknob]

19. They all need to leave Fox as well...

I saw Billo defending Rush today on his program, stopping short of repeating the sex-tape thing.

[Auggie]

20. Big K&R!!!

[Gruntled Old Man]

25. Keep 'em coming

Actually, GOING!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

28. If he can't find sponsors, Limbaugh will start selling his used underwear to his conservative fans

That'll keep his show running for years

[Quantess]

29. Remember when Glenn Beck started losing a lot of advertisers on FOX?

Not long after (or surprisingly long after, depending on your assessment) Glenn Beck's show was discontinued.

[stubtoe]

31. Excellent!

[Dollface]

33. I think I'll contact these companies and thank them. Positive reinforcement, and all that.
