Rep. Speier calls for boycott of Limbaugh sponsors

By Eric W. Dolan
Thursday, March 1, 2012 16:25 EST

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) on Thursday said that if the sponsors of Rush Limbaugh’s radio show continued to support his “hate mongering” then women should boycott those companies.

“I rise this morning to say to Rush Limbaugh, shame on you,” she said on the House floor. “Shame on you for being the hatemonger that you are. Shame on you for being misogynistic.”

Limbaugh on Wednesday called Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke a “prostitute” and a “slut” because of her testimony in Congress about contraception.

- snip -

“So I say to the women in this country, do something about this,” she continued. “I say to the women of this country, ask Century 21, Quicken Loans, Legal Zoom, and Sleep Number to stop supporting the hate mongering of Rush Limbaugh and if they do not do that, then I ask them to boycott those companies.”

We used pressure on advertisers to get Glenn Beck out of mainstream media, why can't we do it with Rush?

Here is a list of Limbaugh sponsors current as of Jan. 2011 (It may include some companies who are no longer sponsors. I Googled and couldn't find a more recent one.): http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002369972 (h/t trueblue2007)

...and in addition to boycotting them and not buying products or using these businesses, write and call these companies letting them know...



Glad I have an accountant and dont use Quicken/Turbotax...but I reccommend anyone who does, find an alternative as you get ready to do your taxes. They exist...but it would send a loud message to Quicken if people wrote them and said no more.

101. Here's a letter I posted on another DU post;

Granted this is for Columbus OH, but there are a lot of LOCAL advertisers also;

Dear Sirs,
I heard Rush Limbaugh’s recent radio show featuring his comments regarding Susan Fluke’s brave testimony regarding her statements before Congress. I went to the local radio station’s website, www.610WTVN.com, in order to determine if your station did in fact allow this commentator to make these vile statements. I will not repeat what Mr. Limbaugh said on this occasion because my household does not use that type of language.
This has not been the only vile statements Mr. Limbaugh has been associated with; he ridiculed Michael J, Fox’s debilitating condition, he ridiculed Hu Jintao, the Chinese President, “He was speaking (President Hu Jintao) and they weren't translating. They normally translate every couple of words. Hu Jintao was just going ching chong, ching chong cha"Hu Jintao--He was speaking and they weren't translating. They normally translate every couple of words. Hu Jintao was just going ching chong, ching chong cha," Mr. Limbaugh said.," and used racial overtones in describing Donavan Mcnabb, "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well,'' Mr. Limbaugh said at the time. "There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team." This last remark is said to have lost Mr. Limbaugh his chance to own an NFL team.
Any one of these remarks should have gotten Mr. Limbaugh a public rebuke, if not from WTVN, but from Clear Channel, the parent company which distributes Mr. Limbaugh’s show. As far as I know, no formal apology has been forthcoming from him.
I have written to the following advertisers below. I have included the facts included in this letter and have asked each and every advertiser to reconsider advertising on Mr. Limbaugh’s show.
Schmidt's
The Funny Bone Comedy Club and Cafe
Plank's Cafe & Pizzeria
BalletMet Dance Centre
Wings Sports Bar and Grille
Bobby Layman 3900 W Broad St, Columbus, OH 43228
chevydealer.com
I sincerely hope you do reconsider what shows, radio stations you spend your advertising dollars with. While I do not personally listen to the radio station, because of the hatred Mr. Limbaugh in particular but other commentators as well spouts on a daily basis, I have friends who listen to the commentators on your station. I will try hard to convince them to reconsider their choice of radio stations.

I also sent the following letter to the local station, get this, a CLEAR CHANNEL owned outlet:

"Dear Sirs,

I went to your website, www.610WTVN.com in order to determine if your station did in fact allow this commentator to make these vile statements.

Bobby Layman 3900 W Broad St, Columbus, OH 43228
chevydealer.com
These were the advertisers I was able to locate in a cursory search on your website. I admit I do not listen to your station because Clear Channel, and mostly Mr. Limbaugh, are a big part of the station. I do know people who do listen and I will tell them of this current controversy and hopefully they will rethink their choice of radio stations.
I understand you are required to put this and any letter in the Public Inspection File. I trust you will do the same to my letter."

Notice the highlighted sentence. I got this helpful hint from another poster. Seems they are required to put this in to Public Inspection File. That same post also recommended sending the letter registered so the station could not say they 'never received it.'

The more liberal outrage he can cause, the more outrageous he'll be, laughing all the way to the bank, basking in the admiration of his minions - their hero.

6. I've wanted a Sleep Number

mattress for years but haven't purchased one because they advertise on Rush's propoganda machine. Same with most everyone else who advertises on his and Hannity's programs. I've been boycotting Rush and Hannity's sponsors all along, it's a personal thing.

When I told Sleep Number's salesmen at our state fair this year why I wouldn't buy from them they said "well why are you listening to him then?" I replied you must know the enemy to defeat him.

91. Unfortunately in the

7. If someone has the gumption to figure out who they are, I'll play!

This liberated male finds the Republican war on women reprehensible and I will gladly not only boycott the drug addled gasbag's sponsers but I will happily contact them and tell them. What I cannot do is listen to that asshole to find out who they are. It's sort of like going over to rimjobs site. I just can't take enough showers to wash the filth off so I don't do it.

14. At the very least, the nastiness of his comments should be enough

for us to force our representatives to get him off of Armed Forces Radio!

Let the letter writing/Facebook/petition campaigns begin!

[24601]

94. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines should be allowed to decide this for themselves. They don't

people from either side of the spectrum butting in.

[tblue37]

99. Nevertheless, shows from the center-left side of the spectrum are banned from AFR, so there is no

good reason why RW spew should be on there unchallenged. Propaganda does work, and our troops are being relentlessly propagandized from one side--and a particularly nasty form of that, to boot. Since they won't allow even mild counter-programming, Rush should not be on there.

[24601]

100. The center-left isn't banned from AFN. The full radio lineup is below:

Most importantly, this isn't about right - middle - left - or about idealogy at all.

It is about a modicum of respect for those who wrote a blank check to the nation, payable on demand for any amount, including their lives. They have earned the voice to say which station they want on the radio. Troops don't need/don't deserve to be patronized.

[HopeHoops]

17. I've owned RushOffAFN.com for a while now but haven't done anything with it.

I'm open to submissions (referenced only).

[patrice]

25. A page of sponsor contact links might be useful. nt

[HopeHoops]

26. I'm mostly concerned with Armed Forces Network (formerly AFR - "Radio")

[47of74]

42. Still, that could be part of your site

So that people both inside and outside the military know who not to do business with.

[HopeHoops]

43. I'm looking for contributions (and links in particular). He's a disgusting pig.

It's an abomination that our men and women in the services are subjected to his drivel.

[rfranklin]

21. Personally I prefer the method used by the Founding Fathers...tar and feathers!

As the focus of tar and feathers shifted from informers to loyalists, the practice became more violent. In 1775, a physician named Abner Beebe was blistered by the hot tar poured upon him. The mob then "carried [him] to an Hog Sty & rubbed [him] over with Hogs [sic] Dung. They threw the Hog's Dung in his Face, & rammed some of it down his Throat.&quot 6) In 1776, a Charleston mob committed a even grizzlier execution. According to the local paper:


John Roberts, a dissenting minister, was seized on suspicion of being an enemy to the rights of America, when he was tarred and feathered; after which, the populace, whose fury could not be appeased, erected a gibbet on which they hanged him, and afterwards made a bonfire, in which Roberts, together with the gibbet, was consumed to ashes

22. It's about time.

[JDPriestly]

23. This weekend, go to the open houses held by Century 21 agents

and tell the agents (gently since they are not responsible for company advertising policy) that you are offended by the fact that Century 21 pays for Rush Limbaugh's show.

As a woman with daughters, I most definitely will do this.

[Orrex]

24. Although this boycott is at least 20 years too late, sign me up!

[CBHagman]

27. The almighty dollar is all they get.

Given the backlash against the bishops and Komen, I think this might have momentum now.

[OneGrassRoot]

28. Where are the DUers saying she's advocating censorship?

Each time I called for a boycott of Limbaugh in previous years, the threads were full of those claims.



Regardless, he's been on the air 20 years too long, imho, so I absolutely support this!

[sabrina 1]

29. K&R

Way past time for him to suffer the consequences of his lies and propaganda. It worked on Beck and a few others. I don't know why it has taken so long with him.

[Lil Missy]

30. save for later

[NRaleighLiberal]

32. No decent human being should waste a microsecond of their life listening to the trash that is Rush..

No decently professional company should allow their product to be advertised on his hate fest.

[bloomington-lib]

33. absolutely!

[veganlush]

35. this would work

but it's hard to get people to take a few minutes and do it. Just pick of the phone and call the public relations office of the sponsors, one by one. Tell them calmly why you can no longer buy their product, and why you are spreading the word. period. then call the next one on the list. If thousands do it, it will definitely work.

[certainot]

36. ALL sponsors of ALL radio stations that broadcast his show need to be boycotted

with few exceptions any station that plays his show is all RW. he's the headliner and they rest of their content takes his lead.

and sponsors escape responsibility because those radio stations move their ads around.

ALL businesses advertising on RW radio needs to feel the shame for their part in helping RW radio get us to where we are now.

[certainot]

37. PS CABOT CHEESE told me they were going to keep sponsoring limbaugh because it was just part

of a larger ad buy targeting a particular demographic- fuck them.

[wryter2000]

40. Do they sell at Costco?

If so, I have some of their cheese at home. No more.

[certainot]

54. don't know about costco, but most health food chains and trader joes.....

[Aerows]

58. I let them know I'd stop buying their cheese

I love it, but there are other brands. I refuse to support Limbaugh's hate speech, and I went to their website and said so.

[CBHagman]

73. Thanks for mentioning Cabot cheese. I somehow missed that on the list.

I'll boycott them and tell them why.

Here's their contact page:

38. list of 76 universities (w/links) that endorse Limbaugh by broadcasting sports on his stations

https://sites.google.com/site/universitiesforrushlimbaugh/

all these universities mock their own 'mission statements' by maintaining these associations. these associations are huge for bringing in sponsors. and these stations are dedicated to mysogyny, hate, racism, global warming denial, and partisan lying.

they all need to be petitioned, and shamed until they look for alternatives or force balance on those stations.

if they want to argue they'll lose money then their mission statements mean nothing.

47. Limbaugh boycott

I cannot believe this pig is as popular as he is. I started an email campaign this evening. Sent the text below to every sponsor or radio/tv entity I could think of PLUS all my women friend and family... asked them to forward it to everyone they know... next step is facebook. Here it is:


I will not purchase products from your company, and if any of my acquiantances or family have, or intend to, I am asking them to join this boycott. If you are employers or sponsor this hatemonger in any nature or form, I will boycott your radio stations (which will therefore boycott your advertisers) or other media forms.

Through your sponsorship of Rush Limbaugh you are supporting his degrading and disrespectful comments towards women. He has finally crossed a line that is unforgiveable. If in the future, you should choose to remove your sponsorship, I will once again consider your brand a good one to deal with.

Today he referred to a young 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. If this is the kind of programming that you sponsor, I want NOTHING to do with you.

about these posts, and the sales ad was zapped. But there are so many tonight, I hope they are just zapping.

[lunasun]

You folks are on it already then I take it

49. Ug, I didn't know Carbonite sponsored Limbaugh-it also sponsors Stephanie Miller

I signed up for Carbonite online backup because it is a long-time sponsor of the Stephanie Miller radio show. Please, someone tell me it is no longer Limbaugh's sponsor. Otherwise, I haven't done business with any of Limbaugh's other sponsors.

[Segami]

52. K&R!!! Mount Up!

[BadgerKid]

53. What? No men offering to stand up to this misogyny? n/t

[47of74]

55. I have

[qb]

74. I'm boycotting. I was wondering why Rep Speier limited her announcement to women.

[toddwv]

56. Should start calling and send letters to his sponsors.

Do they REALLY want to be attached to a man who openly calls women sluts on the radio?

[alp227]

57. That also worked for Glenn Beck, who eventually quit TV. Let's get ED SCHULTZ on more stations too.

Could some stations would replace Limbaugh with Big Eddie? (Thom Hartmann is moving to the 3-6pm ET timeslot in a week or two, so Ed Schultz is the one smart alternative in Limbaugh's 12-3pm ET time slot in the near future). Good on Speier! Proud to live near (not in) her district.

In fact, many areas in the US can receive up to 4 stations carrying Rush at once, usually the local affiliate and a few distant ones (given how AM signals at a certain power level can reach a larger areas than FM signals). For instance in my hometown if I'm tuning on my AM radio, Limbaugh is locally on San Francisco affiliate KKSF 910 as well as out-of-market stations KSCO 1080 (Santa Cruz), KMJ 580 (Fresno), and KFBK 1530 (Sacramento). Similarly, I noticed that in the Cleveland area Limbaugh can be heard on TWO local stations - WHLO in Akron and WTAM in Cleveland, as well as distant ones WKBN Youngstown and WJR Detroit. And while Limbaugh gets the luxury of 1000+ stations nationwide even on multiple frequencies in some areas, someone like Thom Hartmann can be heard only in the most (D)-voting areas of the nation and in those areas only one station per area? (Exception: The area around Bellingham, Wash. and Vancouver, B.C., Canada can hear Thom on both KBAI Bellingham and KPTK Seattle.) We the People need to take back our airwaves and make the radio stations serve the public interest once again.

[hughee99]

83. Yes, because Big Ed hasn't called someone a slut on air in almost a year! n/t

[olddad56]

61. Good for Jackie Speier...

Boycotting corporations is probably the strongest tool the people have against corporations. All it takes is a courageous, visable person to plant the seed.

I have always been disappointed in Raplh Nader because at one time, he had the power to organize consumers and he didn't. We have a better chance, at this point, fighting corporate control of this country by organizing comsumers than we do with organized labor.

Just my opinion.

[evilhime]

63. Maybe not boycott

I think this article makes a good point: http://trueslant.com/tinadupuy/2010/01/18/please-don%E2%80%99t-boycott-rush-limbaugh/

[IndyJones]

66. Excellent points. I think that the media just needs to ignore what he says. Don't give him

attention. Maybe just laugh at him like he's the drunk uncle at the family party that everyone nods and grins at.

[SunSeeker]

67. Ignoring him doesn't seem to have worked.

He's been on the air for 24 years. I'm sick about what he has done to our country. I can't ignore it anymore.

to ProFlowers. I have been a long and frequent customer of ProFlowers and have recommended them to many friends. As I told them, I can no longer support their company and will explain to my friends why. I also informed them of a new, national boycott of all of RL's sponsors (which they are listed as being one) and suggested they review their advertising dollars. I asked them to inform me if/when they are no longer a sponsor of the RL show.

79. Just sent e-mail to CEO of clear channel

his show needs to be pulled.

84. Komenize the Fat Slob

Spread the meme far and wide:

"Komenize" Limbaugh via Twitter, Facebook and email

[Herlong]

85. Count me in. Here's my message to his sponsors:

You may have heard this before. It goes like this; Rush Limbaugh says something egregious as you get emails from people telling you to stop advertising with him. Now is my turn to complain and thank you for reading this email. I want to let you know I am patronizing other companies until you no longer advertise on Rush's radio show. Recent comments made by Rush Limbaugh concerning women's health was beyond the pale. We can't move forward as the greatest of nations if this hate speech is to continue.

Thank you.

[catrose]

Like Stephanie Miller, Ed, and Thom Hartmann. It is a misnomer to assume that our military is solely
Republican. Our military is a cosmicism of the American republic at large. Both democratic and republican.

[jimlup]

88. Women will be joined by many men here...

Limbaugh is an affront to all of us. His latest attack on women is inexcusable.

As a man I proudly support and endorse the boycott.

[MindandSoul]

92. Thank you! It's nice to see that men also care enough for the women in their life to be offended!

[Herlong]

93. We are not alone.

Yes, fight.

[somewhat otd]

95. Boycott

This is the straw that broke my camel's back....(I acknowledge that I may seem little late in this respect). Actually, I am probably like a lot of people who rant and rave in the privacy their own space, but who long to find a way to voice their rage but don't have any idea how to make a difference. Help us get involved.

I am ready for an all out boycott of anyone and everyone even slightly connected. I appreciate the list of sponsors that has been published and I will contact each and every one, but I plan to drill down on the local level. I have been looking locally and, while it seems extremely difficult, l plan on mapping out at the local level all businesses that can be linked to from his site. Not "knowing" where your advertising $$ goes is no longer an excuse.

I am pretty new at this so any advice would certainly be appreciated. I guess I am tired of being part of the silent majority.
