Rush Limbaugh Advertisers Begin Pulling Their Ads After ‘Slut’ Comment

Rush Limbaugh—a man who rarely evades controversy—has angered enough people this time that some of his radio advertisers are pulling their ads, including Sleep Train Mattress.

Now groups like ToppleBush.com are publishing lists of Limbaugh’s radio sponsors and advertisers so that consumers can begin to boycott the brands.

Companies include: Quicken Loans based in Detroit, Century 21 Real Estate LLC, based in Parsippany, NJ, ProFlowers, Sleep Train Mattress Center based in North Highlands, Calif., and eHarmony based in Pasadena, Calif.

Interestingly, eHarmony founder Nell Warren, also is against gay relationships. His Limbaugh ties give clearer in dications of Warren’s political views.

Sleep Train, today, announced via their Twitter account @theSleepTrainReply that they are pulling their Rush Limbaugh ads: “We don’t condone negative comments directed toward any group. In response, we are currently pulling our ads from Rush with Rush Limbaugh.”

Consumers and anti-Limbaugh supporters are encouraging other companies to follow Sleep Train’s move.
