Rep. Speier calls for boycott of Limbaugh sponsors

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/01/rep-speier-calls-for-boycott-of-limbaugh-sponsors/



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.”

But on his show, Limbaugh accused Fluke of not being able to afford contraception because she was “having so much sex.” Then on Thursday, he demanded that women post sex tapes online if they use insurance-covered birth control.

“Shame on you for calling the women of this country prostitutes,” Speier said. “Ninety-eight percent of the women in this country at some time in their lives used birth control.”

Many of his sponsors have a facebook page, and I have posted comments (with many others) on several of those sponsors' sites, including Century 21, Legal Zoom, Sleep Number, Quicken Loan, e-Harmony, and Carbonite.

I'll keep on doing that as I learn of more sponsors.
