Quicken Loans Inc., the Detroit-based online mortgage lender, has joined the list of advertisers who have pulled advertising from the Rush Limbaugh syndicated radio program because of the conservative talk show host's disparaging description of a Georgetown University law student.
"Due to Rush Limbaugh's continued inflammatory comments — along with the valuable feedback we have received from our clients and team members — Quicken Loans has suspended all advertising on The Rush Limbaugh radio program," a Quicken Loans spokeswoman said Friday in an email.
The move is effective immediately, the Quicken Loans spokeswoman said.
The advertising cancellation happened after Limbaugh on his Wednesday show called law school student Sandra Fluke a "slut" and "prostitute" for supporting the Obama administration's rule requiring health insurers to include birth control coverage even for religious institutions.
Fluke told a House Democratic committee that it costs a female student $3,000 to have protected sex over a three-year stint in law school without insurance. Georgetown is a Catholic institution that does not cover birth control for religious reasons.
Limbaugh responded on his Wednesday show.
"What does it say about the college co-ed (Sandra) Fluke, who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says she must be paid to have sex?" Limbaugh said. "What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute."
Democrats and liberal groups subsequently called for the advertising boycott.
Sleep Train Mattress Centers announced earlier on Friday on its Twitter account that it pulled its ads. "We don't condone negative comments directed toward any group," the company said.
Mattress company Sleep Number reportedly followed suit. Subscribe to *Elections 2012*

Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!

So has eHarmony and the Cleveland Cavaliers, with Carbonite planning on having a sit down with el Tubo next week.
It looks like Limbaugh is working for the Democrats. He's doing a damn fine job of it, too.

That Fluke girl is definitely a slut. She isn't married. She should buy her own birth control. She is very trashy.

Regardless, Limbaugh should know better. Especially after Beck got hosed the same exact way.

Then it should be no problem for the 'SLUT' to get a $3000 loan from Quicken Loans Inc to finance her prostitution.
And since they sympathize with her also, Sleep Train Mattress Centers could donate to the cause too....
Good fking riddance to bad trash.

Fluke will now forever be known as a slut. I bet she poses in some dirty magazine before the year is out.

So why hasn't someone asked her exactly how much money she makes from having all that sex???
Think the IRS would care???

No one asks because it's a story made up by Rush Limbaugh, the guy caught by a customs inspector with a bottle of Viagra with somebody else's name on it.

Wasn't Rush addicted to various pain killers and God knows what else, then, too?

Yes. He spent some time in rehab for his drug addiction before the viagra incident.
I wonder if contraception was used by Rush's partner in the Dominican Republic, and if so, who paid for it.

Simple solution to that problem.
Don't have sex if you have no insurance and can't afford your own contraception - slut.

He's your typical liberal stoner, but with an R after his name. Believe me, if Obama had an R after his name, elRusbo would LOVE him. They're brothers, from another mother.

Rush's just another Israel Firster, just like half of the posters here.

Wrong again. Your problem is reading comprehension.
