Get a Bissinger’s or Merb’s catalog, or go to the tribal chocolatiers in OK.

my post at your blog:

Guess who is working feverishly to put the supplement companies out of business and to keep those of us that depend on supplements from getting them through onerous legislation? That’s right, liberals. The same liberals that Rush fights every day. The same liberals that feign insult when they put a FRAUD of a woman up as their spokesperson and have her claim that tax payers need to buy her rubbers and pills. OMG. I will switch ALL of my supp business to Swanson’s. Good job vitacost. You kneejerked and lost.

What Limbaugh did was not gentlemanly, and an Freeper who adheres to traditional manners had to be disappointed with what he did.

You obviously don't listen to Rush, or if you do..you don't understand him. No one who listened to him believed that HE believed Fluke was a slut....he was satirically coming to an absurd but logical conclusion based solely on her absurd and ridiculous "testimony" which was very long on emotion and very very very short on facts and reality.

I am a long time customer of Vitacost. I order a LOT from them. I just went on their chat and had them pull up my account. Then I told them I had to fire them. They gave me the usual nonsense that you already posted and then she got a little upset. I told her that my decision to fire them was purely a business decision just like their decison to pull advertising. They don’t care. They really do not even understand that Congress is trying to pass a law to make vitamins illegal. They will be gone in a minute when that happens.

“Well when a single women comes before Congress and basically tells the world she needs more free contraceptive ideas... ...she’s one of three things.”

Was it even a valid session of Congress or some sideshow hosted by Pelosi?

He should be more sophisticated. He changed the debate from religious freedom to a bunch of nonsense.

Sending your ad out to 15 million Less people in this economy is a seriously stupid mistake. Then top that off with thousands of letters and phones calls telling you they are done with your product. I expect more will back peddle before this is over.

Our decision was in no way a statement about Mr. Limbaugh’s or his listeners’ political views

Oh, but it is! You are participating in a concerted effort by foes of Limbaugh to force him off the air by eliminating his revenue. Own it, coward.....and the consequences.

I've done a lot of shopping with Vitacost in the past - usually when I place an order it's in the $150 range. No More! I've been transitioning to Swanson - they now get all of my business.

I decided not to buy from them anymore so when I got an email from them today, I decided to unsubscribe from their email list. At the bottom it asks why and I checked other and wrote...You decided to drop Rush Limbaugh so I decided to DROP you!!

He never outright called her anything. He asked what would a person be called who wants someone to buy their contraceptives? What would you call someone who wants you and me to pay for their sex? Only after asking did he suggest that she was a slut. I support Rush all the way and will not and did not think he was out of line. She is a slut of the left.

Thanks for the update.
I sent them a couple of emails (one a general comment in their 'Contact Us' section, and a second when I asked to get removed from the email list and I responded to their standard exit questions). I didn't bare any venom. I just pointed out that although I don't listen to Mr. Limbaugh, Vitacost should not have been motivated by leftist agitators that routinely assail conservative broadcasters. Vitacost should stick to business and not get whipped around by petty politics lest they lose half of their customers - and I was now an ex-Customer.

Sharies berries, proflowers and several others that dropped Rush also advertist on TV...they probably figured there won’t be much of a drag on their business with the TV advertising getting their message out....I am sure they weighted the results before they made the business decision. I don’t use their products anyway so I cannot quit using their products..

I like his nonsense. To bad you do not have the capacity to understand.
