Since July 16th when shock jock Michael Savage spewed his hateful remarks about autism as being “A fraud, a racket” Aflac has dropped advertising with his show. Add to the list DirectBuy which has decided not to renew their contract. They had decided this prior to his Autism rant but a company representative was quoted as saying that this show re-affirmed the company’s decision.

Radio Shack and Anheiser Busch have made announcements that they have never approved ads for his show. These companies want to assure the public that they are not associated with the Savage Nation.

Radio stations in Mississippi, Virginia and Cleveland have dropped Savage’s show from their line up.

I found a list of the current advertisers for the Savage Nation on Wrong Planet. Please take the time to write or email these companies and tell them that they need to drop advertising for that hate-filled show. Let them know you’ll be boycotting their products. There is a sample letter included.
