Oh, the Left was so happy. This time, they were finally going to get Rush Limbaugh!
He had made the mistake of calling a left-wing activist a slut. While in most cases, calling a woman a slut or a whore is way over-the-line, it didn’t acttually seem all that inappropriate in this case. Personally, I don’t consider it misogynistic at all to speculate about the sex life of a woman who asks Congress to help pay for her birth control because she thinks no human being could reasonably be expected to spend as much as she has to on it.
Anyway, Sandra Fluke and other liberals who were DELIGHTED by all the attention she was getting, pretended to be offended and started trying to get Rush’s sponsors to cancel. Soon, the claims about the numbers of sponsors “cancelling” started to rise, Rush apologized, and liberals thought they had him on the ropes. This time Rush Limbaugh was over, done, finished, kaput.
However, when you look a little closer, you can’t help but notice a lot of their “cancellations” look pretty shifty. Take Allstate’s “cancellation” for example.
Allstate’s advertising purchase strategy has not included the Rush Limbaugh Show. Earlier today, we responded to inquiries about our advertising relationship with the show by stating we did not advertise on or sponsor it. As radio listeners notified us that they were hearing Allstate ads during the show this afternoon, we contacted the vendor that arranges for our advertising placements and discovered that an error had been made and advertising time had mistakenly been purchased for the show.
We regret providing mistaken information about this situation. We have asked our media buying firm to correct the error by discontinuing any advertising on the Rush Limbaugh Show moving forward in keeping with our original advertising plans and strategies.

i called carbonite on tuesday and told them when it comes time for renewal i will be going with another company.
ReplyDeletelast night it was reported their stock dropped dramatically. of course not because of my little account, but i'm sure many others called as well.
go rush...
I deleted Proflowers today from my emails and will never use them again.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing that it's OK for your prescription coverage to pay for Viagra for you, but it won't pay for birth control pills for your wife. There isn't any irony in this is there? So who is the slut now?
ReplyDeleteMy insurance does not pay for Viagra, Cialis, etc. but does cover BC pills and other contraception. More insurance plans cover contraception that cover ED products. All plans are different and Anon. 5:57 is really stretching it when he tries to make generalizations about this issue.
ReplyDeleteShe's not too swift if she paid $3000 a year for birth control since you can get through Care First an individual policy for less than that a year that includes birth control plus much more.
ReplyDeleteRush is an idiot, although the Republican party is not the party that listens to Rush Limbaugh, the Republican party IS Rush Limbaugh
ReplyDeleteto 9:55. remember dear one, libs have been declared mentally ill.
ReplyDeletefunny what education can do to you. this poor 30 yr. old doesn't realize she can get birth control at walmart for $5 monthly, or go to planned barrenhood and get it very cheap. she probably doesn't have a lick of commonsense and now wants all taxpayers to pay for her sexlife. oh, how about using a condom... just sayin'
Boorish behavior is boorish behavior whether from Rush Limbaugh or Bill Maher. Stop justifying name calling on the basis of partisanship.
ReplyDelete10:29, at least Rush has the decency to apologize. I agree the behavior is not acceptable, but I haven't heard one liberal that has been called out for their antics apologize.
ReplyDelete142 sponser have dumped limbaugh. YES!
