Contact JC Penny and ask them to drop Rush Limbaugh

Was surprised to find JC Penny advertised on Pigboy's show. Dropped them an e-mail and had a pleasant conversation with the lady on the phone. Said I was proud of them for standing up for Ellen, but this is different. This is not censorship. This was a depraved personal attack against an innocent woman, and all women...and that as long as they advertised with Limbaugh, I was ending my 40 year relationship with their stores.

Maybe they just advertise on a station that carries Limbaugh...and

maybe it's time that wasn't acceptable either.

I wrote to media matters as well.
the guy at JC Penney said that they have been getting a lot of phone calls...

but i don't want to boycott them because of a mistake. I WILL boycott them if i find out this is true.
