Rush Limbaugh calls War Protesters "Anti-American, Anti-Capitalist Marxists and Communists"!!

- List of Products and Companies to Boycott or send Complaints about Limbaugh - UPDATED February 26, 2003. Send thank yous to MIDAS, EHARMONY, RADIO SHACK, and AMTRAK.

-NEW! Formal responses from companies! See where you're making a difference! See the latest responses from Geico and EHarmony!

- Update on Overstock.com: "We don't advertise on Rush Limbaugh." ...although their affiliates do. Send letters to Overstock.

Haven't we had enough of this bellicose burden on the American airwaves? Are you sick and tired of the Hateful chortling and guffawing - while smearing everything that most
decent people consider the very Freedoms our ancestors or Founding Fathers Died to Protect and Honor?

"...the sponsors of these protests were not peace protesters at all. They are all talking about racism, environmental wackoism, feminism or other liberal causes. Very little about these protests was about the war in Iraq.

If they were for peace, they would give every dollar they raise to the U.S. defense department because it's the U.S. defense department that keeps the peace and liberates the oppressed in the world and gives them the opportunity to have freedom, which is what we want for Iraq. It's beyond me how anybody can look at these protesters and call them anything other than what they are: anti-American, anti-capitalist, pro Marxists and communists." - Rush Limbaugh

You can view the rest of his statements on his web page where he has singled out groups from the A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition in a derogatory and racist fashion - including several Muslim groups. Interestingly enough, he made no mention of the Pastors, Christian Groups, Veteran Groups, Jewish Groups, or other world organizations who are also part of the A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition.

There is something we can do about it. We can complain directly to the companies that sell advertising on his show. We can also boycott the same products or institutions he promotes with his hateful, abhorrent speech and behavior. We've made a list for your convenience below.

Please write to each and every one of these companies. Tell them why you are no longer purchasing their wares, foods, or products. Tell them that you won't support people like Limbaugh who insult honest working Americans of all races, creeds and sexual orientation - or his advertisers. Tell them you'll change the station. Turn the channel off.

Tell them when he's OFF the air you will return to buying their products.And please DO what you say, don't buy what they are selling, make them feel the pressure of those who can vote with their dollars.

Tell Rush he's gone too far this time.

And when you are done with his advertisers, write to Clear Channel's board of directors and tell them what, when, and why you are not buying. HERE

And it CAN be done! Look at the group that kicked Limbaugh OFF Amazon.com HERE! Let's Shut him up or shut him DOWN!

You're Making a Difference! Advertisers respond to this Action Alert!     

      - Midas has removed their advertising. See Official Response.

     - eHarmony: Says they don't intend to change their advertising. TBTM action: Email, FAX, write letters and call them.

      - Overstock.com - banner ads are running again, apparently through an affiliate. Overstock maintains it does not advertise on Limbaugh. TBTM action: Send them letters letting them know that while their banners are on Limbaugh's site, they're still supporting him - regardless of who purchased the ad.

     - Amtrak - states to have a corporate policy against advertising on shows such as Rush Limbaugh. Advertising that is currently running is part of a barter swap with San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau that ends next week. They are working on getting these spots removed from the Rush Limbaugh show. Dan at Amtrak commended Take Back The Media readers as being an extremely intelligent, educated bunch and was impressed by the hundreds of well written letters received. Official response from the Chief Marketing Officer. TBTM action: Amtrak removed from the list. Send them thanks!

     - BOSE: claimed to have stopped purchasing advertising on the Rush Limbaugh show but listeners have reported hearing Wave Radio ads. TBTM action: Removal from list.

     - Radio Shack: will not buy any advertising on the Rush Limbaugh show. Read Radio Shack's official response. TBTM action: Radio Shack removed from the list. Send them thanks!

     - Blue-Emu: says their Rush advertising is part of a national campaign. In other words, they intend to continue advertising with Limbaugh. >>More TBTM action: Email them.

     - Avacor: Says they do not support Rush Limbaugh in any way except for advertising, and they're taking it to the max - imploring every person that writes them to "grow some hair!" and touting their product at every turn. TBTM Action: Email them.

Rush Limbaugh BUSTED on Chickenhawk Status!
The mysterious "Greg from Orlando" from the EIB network gets RUSH Bigtime!

"As with a previous call, when I nicknamed Rush 'The Jabba the Hut of American Politics' (which stuck and caused him to lose 100 pounds over a year's time), all of the rest of the show was dominated by damage-control over my call. A number of callers took issue with the correct labeling of most right-wing war-hawks as 'Chicken Hawks' -- and this allowed Rush to obscure the issue by claiming that he'd merely not served, rather than dodged the draft with a bogus 4-F status. At least nine times that I counted, he referred to me by name with the usual cheap smears, and I collected each as a badge of honor I'm sending to John Kerry to add to his uniform." >>More
