I think such “shaddow companies” should be prohibited under a false advertising premise.

It implies two competitors when in fact there is no competition.

Either way, I thank you for the list of companies. I will not be using any of them in the future and have already cancelled my email notices and specifically mentioned their cancellation of Rush ads as the reason.

My money, my rules.

It's that the advertisers have been intimidated by leftwing agitators.

From what I'm reading, some of the advertisers ARE left-wing agitators.

Why is it that Republicans and some conservatives insist on angering their base (in this case through an apology) as a matter of policy?

No surrender.

I went on Facebook too and voiced my disapproval too. The number of the negative comments and boycotts of ProFlowers is quite amazing.

I wonder what the Obama/leftist “October surprise” will be this time?

I shudder to think.

Make it a point today to hit the MSM message boards and simply point out all the double standards laid out in todays American Spectator article as well as Front Page. Both excellent fact based stories on this double standard once again in media.

We could call this a process of darwinian selection, not for Rush who is still popular enough (Clear Channel did not bail) but for the chicken livered advertisers. Rush should be busy getting replacements and when, say, Sleep Train begs to come back... NIX!

Kudos to Sean Hannity, because I heard him advertise ANOTHER company on Tuesday, 1-800flowers.com, which is NOT Pro-flowers. It looks like he switched.
