So..Proflowers 'suspended' advertising on Limp-pig's show?....

[one_voice]

Another advertiser, ProFlowers, pulled out after more than 7,000 people commented on the ProFlowers Facebook page about Limbaugh's tirade against the Georgetown University Law School student.

"Mr. Limbaugh's recent comments went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company," the Internet-based flower delivery company wrote in a statement on its Facebook page Sunday afternoon. "As such, ProFlowers has suspended advertising on The Rush Limbaugh radio program."

6. That's the exact same thought I had this morning when I heard it on the drive in to work

I'm sorry, "it helps me stay connected" is what we are supposed to say

7. Actually, FB seems to be a pretty good social media platform for political messaging.

I'm not on FB, but the wife is. She's been telling me about Republican women in our area that are very pissed off with Rush and the current Republican anti-women agenda. She feeds them links to Think Progress, Kos, and even DU and she gets a lot of "OMG" and "I didn't know that" type responses. She tells me about one of the "old school" Republican ladies in our area who started on FB supporting Republican talking points, but now has become a very vocal proponent of progressive ideas and has announced she can no longer vote for Republicans. I'm inclined to think that FB is becoming a very powerful place to discuss politics with people who don't participate on partisan political websites.

2. "suspended"

means they're temporarily withholding advertising until the blowback's over.

Let's make sure the blowback's permanent.

And ProFlowers should be shamed anyway - they are a sleazy company.

5. The word "suspended"

jumped out for me, like Herman Cain "suspended" his campaign.
