JCPenney Drops Rush-that makes 33!

http://thinkprogress.org/media/2012/03/06/439229/jcpenney-drops-rush/

JCPenney Drops Rush |

On a Facebook posting, the clothing retailer JCPenney announced that it will ensure that its advertisements do not appear on the Rush Limbaugh radio show: “We have a strict ‘No Run’ policy in place specifically regarding The Rush Limbaugh Show. After jcpenney confirms the facts, we will contact any local radio station that is in violation of our radio advertising parameters to ensure that our ‘No Run’ policy is adhered to regarding this program.” According to a ThinkProgress count, at least 33 companies have dropped Rush.

Conservatives and Liberals both shop at Penny's. They do not want to lose half their sales. What if all the conservatives start to boycott NBC? You better go buy a lot at Penny's.

WOMEN WERE DENIGRATED AND DISRESPECTED...They all have MOTHERS, SISTERS, DAUGHTERS, AUNTS, GRAMMIES, FEMALE FRIENDS...Rush f$cked all of them over, dear. People get a bit pissed when you imply that at least half of their families are whores and sluts...IT'LL WORK, trust me.

Limbo is just a jerk. But please. I do not see a war on women over free birth control pills. Limbo only represents the far right. By November this will be a blip on the radar. Lots of other things will happen.

sex tapes in return for BC he's bloody well knows neither he nor anyone else is going to pay for. The students will have to pay premiums for the INSURANCE that pays for the hormonal medicine, ( which BTW is used for FAR more than contraception). Funny that he didn't say anything about the BD medicine that INSURANCE pays for, ie, cialis, viagra, etc. Ask theser cretins about insurance paying for BD medicine, which is NEVER a life threatening condition whereas endometriosis, PCOS, heavy menstrual bleeding,etc CAN AND OFTEN ARE life threatening and all you hear is crickets. I am a woman and have had two of the previous medical issues and was prescribed BC, Depo Lupron etc for it. When he calls the woman who wanted to tell the panel about her friend who lost an ovary due to not being able to get preventive meds "a prostitute and a slut", (and implies that she was having sex around the clock because the idiot didn't understand that you don't take the meds when you want to have sex like BD medicine), HE.INSULTS.ALL.WOMEN...PERIOD!

You buy ad time on Clear Channel and Premier Radio stations?

Clear Channel and Premier run Rush Limbaugh?

You SUPPORT Rush Limbaugh!

Drop your ads from Clear Channel, and that might be enough!

On edit - I needed to go back and pick up the link to my favorite thread of the month!

I wanna make sure EVERYBODY sees this thread:

How to fight back at the local radio, with insights from a former radio person. As one of those, myself, I can vouch for the good ideas in it. I have personally personally witnessed how effective these strategies can be.
