This is awesome. The next time some flap hits Rush, his sponsors are going to think really hard before pulling their advertising to appease the Radical Left. Just look at the nose dive Carbonite took and now these clowns groveling to come back. I bet their bed sales are in the toilet now.

It would be nice if we’d all call Sleep Train and let them know we’d never think of buying a Sleep Train bed in the future.

Your next battle is with the free market. Your company has infuriated many good people; the majority of the people that BUILT your business.

For $1000.00 per week I'll use the words 'Sleep Train' as the signature on all my emails. Don't dismiss my offer to quickly, give it some thought.

Love it! Hope "Sleep Train" goes outta business fast...
Don't mess with Rush, nor his 20,000,000+ listeners!

Good for him! I have only contempt for a sponsor that tried to come back now. If they decided to make a business decision to drop Limbaugh, so be it. You make that call and you live with the the consequences. I could probably respect that, even if I don’t agree with the call they made or why they made it. But to come back and say “aw, we didn’t really mean it, Rush” after denouncing him very publicly and in no uncertain terms, is just the epitome of corporate weaseldom.

Judging by how fast the Train wanted to get back on Rush’s advertising roster, I have a feeling many people made that call to them.

Just look at the nose dive Carbonite took and now these clowns groveling to come back. I bet their bed sales are in the toilet now. Rush is a cagey guy. It actually occurred to me that he might have provoked this on purpose to smoke out (and sift out) which of his sponsors are vulnerable to liberal pressure. Then, with his stable thus cleansed and his income stream immunized, he's even more free than before to say what he wants. Might be a long shot, but the thought crossed my mind.

Rush put Sleep Train in the catbird seat with his initial endorsement of the fortuitously helpful product of a company without a good sales plan or even a very attractively named product.
He’s got to know that they’re really going to suffer over their part in egging on Slutgate.
Will some deep pocketed liberal take them under his/her wing (to mix a metaphor)?

I’d sleep on a train track before buying from Sleep Train.

I am just excited that some of these advertisers are gone. Being a listener since the late 80’s, some of these ads bore me to tears they have been around so long. Can’t wait to hear new stuff. I am sure there is a long line of folks that are dying to take their place with their products.

That's gonna hurt Sleep Train more than it will ever hurt Rush. I have to wonder how this all came about.
Sleep Train was a local Sacramento shop -- an early sponsor of the Rush Limbaugh show. As Rush's fortunes increased, so did Sleep Train's. Hard to believe the original owner would have made such a stupid move.

He was a little more blatant today. He called that Petri woman’s comments in WaPoo “bitchy” to elicit a response, which in turn would have proven she knew he called out her lies.
IOW, I think that is exactly what he did!

Rush will not be pleased that this is public.
He never wants to dis people who sign up with him to get favorable publicity via advertising. Shadenfreude is fun, but not worth endangering business relationships.
