The Gestapo arm of the Leftist Party is trying to take down America’s strongest conservative voice. It’s time to stand up to their lies, threats and intimidation.
Helping lead the charge against the speech police is Jeffrey Lord @ the American Spectator. His weapon of choice is always the most effective; the Truth:
About Sandra Fluke ~
As a student at Cornell and treasurer of a pro-choice organization at the school, Sandra Fluke, helped shut down a pro-life speech on Cornell’s campus by counter protesting. She argued that a pro-life organization at Cornell was about “manipulating [students’] emotions” with misleading statistics about abortion. But when it is her turn to speak on Capitol Hill, the third-year Georgetown Law Student demands she gets her say in a hearing that has nothing to do with birth control.
And about the left-leaning companies who have pulled their sponsorship from Limbaugh’s show:
Carbonite’s CEO, David Friend is a real friend to the radical left ~
Here’s the list of just where David Friend spends his political money:
MoveOn.org, America Coming Together and Democracy for America, all three listed here as George Soros funded groups, the latter set up by Howard Dean. Texans for Truth also drew Mr. Friend’s support. This group, according to Wikipedia, was set up by MoveOn.org spin-off Drive Democracy.org in 2004. Why? To… wait for it… challenge then-President Bush’s service in the Texas National Guard. The precise same stunt for which CBS fired Dan Rather after documents were discovered to have been forged.
Sleep Number ~
Sleep Number’s CEO Bill McLaughlin, Sleep Number being a product of a company called Select Comforter? That appears to be the same “William McLaughlin” who identified himself to the FEC as being with Select Comforter of Minneapolis — when he contributed to the same Soros-funded “America Coming Together” as Mr. Friend.
Legal Zoom. Two of the four guys running the company ~
Mr. Brian Liu is recorded as giving tens of thousands of dollars to two Obama campaign outlets, including the Obama Victory Fund 2012. Brian Lee gives his bucks to the Democratic National Committee Services Corporation. Did I mention Mark Templeton of Citrix gave Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign $2,300?
Considering the organizations they support, Rush’s listeners probably shouldn’t have been enriching the coffers of these companies to begin with.
What should we be doing?
~ First check out Lord’s 3-5-12 article, as well as today’s up-date: A Nation of Breitbarts Rallies for Rush. Included are names and contact information for the companies who have pulled advertising from Rush’s show.
Let them know how you feel. Don’t support cowards who won’t support free speech (Please keep it civil – we don’t want to sound like the vicious Left.).
~ Support LifeLock. They’re sticking with Rush – so far.
~ Exercise your options. Just Barking Mad lists several other companies that would appreciate your business.

This fraudulent Fluke campaign is not about a slang term for a promiscuous woman.
It’s not about consequence-free taxpayer-funded sex.
It’s not about a disingenuous 30 year-old political activist/law student.
It’s not even about Rush.
It’s about the First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an [a] establishment of religion, or [b] prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievance.
And ultimately, it’s about whether or not we’re willing to stand up to the tyranny that’s trying to void those rights.
After the numbing shock of 9-11, it wasn’t until Rush Limbaugh was back on the air several days later that I finally felt a sense of calm. Somehow just hearing his steadying voice, I knew America was going to be OK. That we’d go on to recover from that tragedy.
Even if you don’t listen to Rush regularly you surely realize that he’s inspired hundreds thousands of other torch-bearers for the conservative movement. We can’t let the radical Left shut Rush – or US – down!
Rally for Rush!
