BOYCOTT ProFlowers! They support Hannity, Limbaugh, etc...

[AnArmyVeteran]

They are a big advertiser on Hannity and every chance Hannity gets he plugs them by telling his callers he will send them flowers. It sounds like he is giving them something, when he is just using them as part of his ad. It's sickening. It's Mother's Day Sunday so don't use ProFlowers. If you use them part of your money will be going to Hannity, Beck, LImbaugh and the rest of the hatemongers. Thanks...

1. okay. I don't want to support anything that supports sedition. nt

[Seneca]

2. Stephanie Miller has endorsed them for years

[tblue]

5. Yeah, they have advertised on the progressive stations I listen to.

I've bought their stuff before and my hubby sent me their flowers a couple times, when they sponsored Al Franken's show.

3. Mothers Day

Proflowers was founded by Jared Polis who is the "D" Congressman from Colorado

8. Then if Polis is still running things he should be ashamed of himself!

No advertiser would advertise on shows like Hannity's unless they supported hate, racism and lies. I would rather go broke than advertise and get money that way. Did Polis sell his business to a right wing conservative extremist?

12. As A Former Media Buyer

and knowing that in the flower business there are only handful of holidays where flowers are popular, it would be remiss of any media buyer to boycott those high-rated assholes.

[AnArmyVeteran]

13. But if I owned a business, I would not allow my ads to be ran on those shows period!

I wouldn't let a third party middleman take over my business decisions and taint my business name by advertising on programs which sell hate, racism and fear. How does 'media buying' work? Does it mean getting anyone to run your ads? Don't businesses put conditions on where their ads will be seen or heard? In Proflowers case, I will never do business with them because either 'they' or a 'media buyer' made the decision to advertise on the evil hatemonger Hannity show. I can see a 'media buyer' putting a company out of business real quick.

I have a list of other businesses which give money to right wing hatemongers and I will not do business with them either. If everyone who is against people who make a living by spewing hate stopped doing business with those companies their only customers would be members of the KKK, and I doubt if they buy very many flowers for others. They'd all be white flowers if they did.

4. No! Use Code "Steph" or "Ed" when you buy from ProFlowers!

because they are advertising on both Stephanie Miller's and Ed Schultz' radio shows.

[namahage]

11. You can also use these codes:

Hartmann (Thom Hartmann)
Randi (Randi Rhodes)
Rachel (Rachel Maddow)
Press (Bill Press)
Colmes (Alan Colmes)

Probably some others that I missed.

[Rhythm]

16. another code: science

Saw the ads while watching "How It Works" on Discovery tonight with the kids...

[madmax]

6. SHIT!

Last night I ordered flowers delivered to my daughter in law from them. Grrrrrrrrrrr

Ok, won't make them rich. Thanks for future reference.

[donheld]

15. Ed Shultz endorses them all the time.

[peacebird]

7. I use Organic Bouquet - with one caveat - order for EARLY delivery for holidays

http://www.organicbouquet.com/

because otherwise they get over booked and you can get a pitiful arrangement. Their stuff is AWESOME if you order for early delivery on holidays - once they figure out how to limit orders to available stock then all should be fine...

[WolverineDG]

9. they're also big supporter of liberal radio

looks to me like they spread their advertising dollars around.....

10. it truly tells someone you care when their discounted flowers come in a box labeled 'pro flowers'

and if Hannity supports their business and vice-versa, well, that says all the more.

[miscsoc]

14. Just a thought, someone with the requisite skills should author a firefox plugin

or greasemonkey script which alerts you if the site you are buying stuff from is owned by wingnuts.

it could suggest an alternative.

[AnArmyVeteran]

18. Excellent idea Miscsoc! It'd be nice to have a firewall to stop doing business with all rightwingers

[Greyhound]

17. K&R.

[gov for sale]

19. And of course Google ads is pushing ProFlowers ads on DU to this very post

....kind of funny. or not?

[AnArmyVeteran]

20. I don't care. If they give money to evil liars, why should I trust them?

If Hannity, Beck and Limblah love Proflowers, there must be something wrong with that company. If Proflowers advocated killing all first born male children would you still buy their flowers? I will not support any company that uses it's profits to give money to corrupt, dishonest frauds like right wing radio bullies.

It's my right to stop using them. It's your right to support Limblah, Beck and Hannity. BTW, when you place your order, be sure to put in the discount code box "I support radio terrorists' and you get 10% off! Go for it while quantities last! Your liberal moms will be thrilled to know you spent money so that right wing radio hosts could lie and deceive, while promoting hatred, anger, racism and fear.
