Update: Angie's List WAS Returning to advertise on the Rush Limbaugh Show

However, Angie's list is experiencing a back lash. People haven't forgotten; and people haven't changed their mind about Rush Limp-bow, either. His non-apology apology was inadequate and as insulting as his original grossly offensive comments.

I'm a consumer who votes with my feet and with my $$$. I haven't set foot inside Target since they made offensive right wing political donations. Until they change their policy, despite decades of having been a dedicated Target shopper, I won't go back. And every time a friend, neighbor or acquaintance mentions shopping at Target, I encourage them not to do so --- and most haven't returned.

Here is the petition from Credo to protest Limbaugh advertising. And here is the phone number to call to protest to them directly:

If this isn't effective, I plan to look up and call every Angie's listed business in a 50 mile radius of my zip code, to complain to THEM.  Because I believe that businesses, both large and small, have the ability and the obligation to be good citizens in our community.  That happens when those businesses realize that people care and are paying attention.

Rush Limbaugh is an adult, not a naughty child who should be given a time out.  He should be held to a much greater accountability, and to date he has shown no indication of addressing the issues with his conduct.  He remains as offensive as ever.  That should not be rewarded.

Not to put too fine a point on it, Rush Limbaugh acts as a right wing political enforcer, and he has for years behaved on the radio and in his comments in other venues as the worst kind of pig. Women do not have to put up with this conduct, or reward it with our business -- and the reality  is, women are capable of flexing a significant financial muscle, just as we should flex our political muscle in the face of the right wing culture war on women.  This is the perfect time to do so.

The Credo petition:

Tell Angie's List: Drop your support of Rush Limbaugh!According to Media Matters, just this week, Angie's List, which stopped advertising on the Rush Limbaugh Show in March, became the first major company to resume advertising after Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute."
Since we launched our campaign targeting advertisers on the Rush Limbaugh Show, over 140 advertisers dropped their support of the Show, and Premiere Radio suspended all national advertising on the show for two weeks.
But, now that Angie's List has resumed advertising, other advertisers could join ranks and start supporting the Rush Limbaugh Show again.
That's why it's incredibly important for us to respond quickly and forcefully so Angie's List, and other corporations who might be thinking of resuming advertising on the show, know that we won't stand by as corporations resume their support of Rush Limbaugh and his sexist comments.
Tell Angie's List: Immediately and permanently end your support of Rush Limbaugh.
Unfortunately, what Rush Limbaugh says matters. He has a bigger audience than any other commercial radio host in the country, and what he talks about on air has the power to drive the Republican agenda -- an agenda that is already obsessed with radical backslides of women's ability to protect their own health.
Sandra Fluke's testimony before Congress included important points about why access to affordable birth control is so crucial, including the story of a friend who had lost an ovary because she couldn't afford the birth control needed to manage her ovarian cysts.
Rush's unforgivable translation of that was "slut" and "prostitute." Sandra Fluke rightly has called Rush Limbaugh's comments "an attack on all women." We agree.
Every American enjoys the right to free speech, but that doesn't mean that advertisers who are accountable to their customers should pay people like Rush Limbaugh who make such appallingly hateful and sexist comments.
Angie's List needs to hear from us loud and clear -- if you advertise on Rush Limbaugh, you are supporting his reprehensible attacks on women. And other advertisers thinking about resuming their support of this program need to know that we won't let them quietly begin supporting such hateful and sexist rhetoric.
Tell Angie's List: Immediately and permanently end your support of Rush Limbaugh.
In the fight against the Susan G. Komen Foundation we proved that when women and the men who support them fight back against those who would restrict women's access to healthcare, we can win. And MSNBC's firing of commentator Pat Buchanan after a campaign protesting his white supremacist rhetoric shows that there will be consequences when certain lines are crossed.
Rush Limbaugh has a long history of hateful rhetoric. But with his comments about Sandra Fluke, Rush Limbaugh has crossed the line at a moment when women, and the men who believe in equal rights for women, are more organized than ever and are ready to fight back.
Tell Angie's List: Immediately and permanently end your support of Rush Limbaugh.
We will not let the rightwing take away women's access to birth control. We will not let Republicans brand women who assert their right to health care as "sluts" and "prostitutes."
Thank you for joining CREDO in taking action to stop the escalating attacks on women and hold Rush Limbaugh and the Republican message machine accountable.
