"We appreciate your concern and want you to know Domino's does not support this show. For the first time ever, we purchased national radio to promote our lunch business. We buy advertising on networks, not specific shows. We are investigating the source of this information to determine how an ad ran by mistake, but we can assure you that Domino's does not advertise on this show."

Geico
[no longer on list of companies to boycott]. "We have indeed reconsidered our advertising on Mr. Limbaugh's program. While we never 'sponsored' Mr. Limbaugh's show we have run advertisements in his show for several years. That will no longer be the case. We also found his remarks concerning the treatment of Iraqi prisoners outrageous and inappropriate. We have decided to cease all advertising on his program." Please feel free to write Geico at the addresses listed below thanking them for disassociating themselves from Rush.

Response from Lumber Liquidators explaining why we removed them from this list:

"At this point, we have no plans to advertise on Rush Limbaugh.

With that said, Lumber Liquidators purchases broadcast media as a means to reach a mass audience. The stations and networks are selected based on demographic criteria and ratings. We neither select programming or personalities as a part of that purchase. Stations place our commercials within programming that has unsold inventory or available time slots. Our advertising is not an endorsement of or an indication of support for any specific programming. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your concern."

We were contacted by a representative from this company who said their company does not advertise with Limbaugh. When they buy radio spots they buy a group of them that are randomly assigned to specific channels and programs. They do not sponsor Limbaugh or any other political personality.

Hell hath no fury . . . .

Rush Limbaugh is either unschooled or insane. Thirty-five years, four wives, no Rush, Jr., no Rushana!!!!! What's up with that? I thought every person in the universe was familiar with the following:

As you'll answer it, take heed

This Slave commit no Violence upon
Himself. I've been deceiv'd. The Publick Safety
Requires he should be more confin'd; and none,
No not the Princes self, permitted to
Confer with him. I'll quit you to the King.
Vile and ingrate! too late thou shalt repent
The base Injustice thou hast done my Love:
Yes, thou shalt know, spite of thy past Distress,
And all those Ills which thou so long hast mourn'd;
Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd,
Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd.

William Congreve, in The Mourning Bride, 1697

Every Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, Husband, Lover and other living beings must contact his sponsors. To aid in that effort, the following is passed on:

Boycott Rush Limbaugh's Sponsors

Feel free to download the above graphic to send to anyone
who would appreciate a good laugh.

This is our current list of Rush Limbaugh supporters as of 03/05/12. Because of the massive protest against Rush Limbaugh and his sponsors, almost every sponsor we had on our list has pulled their advertising on Rush's program. However we urge you to keep contacting any local advertisers in your media market that sponsor his program.
UPDATE : Due to the recent deluge of complaints created by the slanderous comments directed at Sandra Fluke by Rush Limbaugh, Sleep Train, Sleep Number Bed, Citrix Systems, Inc., Quicken Loans, Carbonite, ProFlowers, and LegalZoom.com have just pulled their advertising with Rush. If you wish to thank them, please use this link to find their contact information.
UPDATE II: We are still in the process of determining if these companies are current advertisers on Rush's program and/or website: Tax Resolution Services [TRS], Lifelock, Hillsdale College, Health/Heart and Body, Allstate Insurance, AOL, Sears, and Lear Capital The Precious Metal Leaders. A special thanks to everyone who contacted us to share new information about these sponsors and those already on our list and to everyone who contacted Limbaugh sponsors urging them to drop their affiliation with him and his hate-fueled program. GREAT JOB!!

American Forces Network
Contact Us: @MyAFN.net
Contact Department of Defense
Website to see schedules of programs and services

Here's what AFN claims: "As a service of the Department of Defense, AFN does not advertise on Mr Limbaugh's program, offer products for sale, or sponsor any of the programs we relay to our audience. The American Forces Network does not censor content and we do not seek to protect our overseas Department of Defense audience from hearing views with which they may disagree. Our mission is to offer program choices, which includes both the one-hour versions and three-hour version of various popular political talk shows."

This is our response: It is topplebush.com's position that the reason so many troops stationed in Iraq were so ignorant for so long and to this day still believe that Saddam was affiliated with al Qaeda and 9/11 and that he had WMDs is because the troops were fed Limbaugh's program [also FOX News and Glenn Beck] by AFN and their COs as a main news source while programs expressing a strong alternative viewpoint were filitered out.

If you know of any other Limbaugh advertisers who should be on our list, you can send them to us. If we can't shut him up at least we can try and make his life less comfortable than it is now.

List of stations that carry Rush's program by state [We weren't surprised that the map was shown in blue versus red states from the 2008 election.] You may want to use this list to locate stations in your area that carry his program in order to boycott local businesses that advertise with him since it is beyond the scope of our website to be able to cover this much territory.

You can view our list of former advertisers who were removed. We urge our viewers to thank the companies on his list for not advertising with Limbaugh anymore.
