BOYCOTT RUSHLIMBAUGH SPONSORS
I will no longer purchase products from your company. Through your sponsorship of Rush Limbaugh you are supporting his degrading and disrespectful comments towards women. If in the future, you should choose to remove your sponsorship, I will once again purchase from your company. Today he he referred to a woman who testified before congress as a slut and that she should post videos of herself having sex on the web if taxpayers paid for Birth control.

You pitiful little DUmmies. Y'all don't have the political or financial muscle to effect any changes. Rush made more money today that the combined wealth of all 150,000* DUmmies.

*LOL- not even close.

Rush is in trouble now. The DUmmies have legal representation.

Still new and sure to grow.

A truly meaningless gesture.

I have posted before that when Randy Roads (sic don't care) did that bit about killing GW Bush on Err America and I found out about HP sponsoring her show but Will do so again. At the time our company was buying about $800K/yr of high end logic analyzers and meters form them. I called our salesman and told him I was going to get quotes from B&K, LeCroy and others for the equipment as I was so pissed that HP would be sponsoring this shit. The sales guy had no idea what was going on but would send it up the chain. The next morning I got a call from the southern regional VP of HP assuring me that there was no reason to look elsewhere as HP had immediately stopped their ads on Err America from all the complaints received. By the end of the conversation we had agreed on a 8% discount for the rest of the year. Also got a few dinners out of the local rep to keep us happy.

That is what happens when there is actual buying power and it is used. A DUmbat boycott will do nothing to Rush. Hell it might even get him more sponsors.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I'd luv to have one! It would have to help my back! I've tried that memory foam shit, and am not impressed.

If Rush likes them, that's all i need to know! He had some pretty serious back problems in the past, and he says these things work!

Maybe, but when you're talking about 1000 or so true members of the DUmp, they ain't the 300 who held off how many thousands of Athenians . . . . so 20 or 30 million listeners for Rush is overwhelming at that point, either way one looks at it.

Oh you won't regret it...it's the best decision we ever made. It does get interesting sometimes, though because my husband's sleep number is 45 and mine is 25 so we tend to sink in that direction during...well you get the idea.

Wow! That is one lame form letter, complete with typos and random capitalization.

It looks like it was written by DUmpmonkey rsmithnumbers.

As for Rush's advertisers, he's the reason I developed a taste for Snapple, have a Bose Wave radio in my office, have an eight-pound Oreck in an upstairs closet, and know my sleep number is around 75.

Celebrity endorsements work, as much as people like to deny it.

My wife got 2 dozen roses from ProFlowers on Valentine's Day (she didn't want any Sharri's Berries, although we have had them, and they are GOOD  :drool:), and for the price, AutoZone's cheapest brake pads work great on my mail delivery car.  (The "good" ones cost 3 times as much, and don't last any longer.  Exception: the "Carbon Metallic" ones from Performance Friction, but they squeal like a banshee!)

I usually get my parts from NAPA, (son works there, owner is a friend), but if I need something after 12 noon on Saturday, it's either AutoZone or Advance Auto.  Otherwise, I call NAPA, have it the next morning, no extra charge for the shipping, AND I DON'T HAVE TO PREPAY FOR THE PART!!!!   :II:

So, can you DUmmies explain to me how boycotting companies you don't buy from anyway, because they advertise on a program you don't listen to, played on radio stations you don't tune in, syndicated on a network you demonize, owned by a corporation you despise, is supposed to bring financial ruin to Rush Limbaugh?
