HA! One sponsor down for Rush
Sleep Train Mattress (@theSleepTrain)
3/2/12 1:01 AM
Thanks to all of you for your concern and input. We are currently pulling all ads with Rush Limbaugh

First off. Who?

Secondly, Rush has said many times that he uses the products of his sponsors. We know that he uses a sleep number bad, so there's more to this than sleep train is telling.

I haven't heard the Sleeptrain ads, never heard of them.  Maybe they advertised many years ago and no longer do.

LegalZoom is useful for those who
a)  have business interests and
b)  require having a will.

Doesn't apply to DUmpmonkeys.  I have an account, though.

Jesus, how many bongloads and bags of Cheetos does it take to buy a Sleep Number bed? 

And no, DUmmies, that wasn't a serious question, and NO, they won't take them in trade.

How many times are they going to try this? It hasn't worked in the past 25 years, why would it work now?


Ummm, they are Liberals. It's gonna work, this time.

I've been eyeing a sleep number bed.  It's in our budget (after saving for a few months). 

You DUmmies are so cute.

This is more than likely some local station's advertising, cause as far as I know, they've never advertised on the show, and i have a Rush 24/7 subscription. Never heard of 'em!

My local station has Rush on and when he takes breaks, they play their own commercials. Some of them are corporate sponsors.

I used to read those customer reviews on Amazon religiously, and lots of times based buying decisions on them.

Over time, I've concluded that their reliability is very nearly zero, like restaurant reviews on Yelp.

In the retail world, posting bad reviews on competitors must be a full-time job for one's friends and relatives.

Like he wouldn't just get another sponsor. Though I'd like to see proof that this is real. Companies are going to do more than "thank you for letting us know", there's going to be a little bit more PR crap than that. If it's a response to an email/letter they'd make sure to let the person know they don't support Rush's point of view (chances are it would be more than one paragraph) and they would be sending said email/letter back all those who wrote them. If it's a phone call, the people answering are NOT authorized to give this kind of response. They're job is to say "Thank you, I'll let X,Y,Z know". But the DUmmies will eat this up because it's what they want to hear.

They've been trying this boycott shit for years, Cindie. I don't know why they think "oh, no you d'int! We're REALLY going to boycott now, damn you, you reichthug!" is going to work this time.

BTW, who has the DUmmie boycott graph?

I never heard of Sleep Train, so I nadined them. They're a local group of mattress stores in Sacramento and the Sodomy City Bay Area.

So they're a local advertiser, not a customer of the EIB.

I doubt Rush can be damaged by one of those outfits that hires winos to spin "mattress sale" signs on weekend street corners.
