Subway, the Anti-Rush Limbaugh Boycott and the Sad Debacle That Is #UniteBlue

Posted on Comments

A late lunch with 10-year-old daughter Reagan at Subway today.

The entirely negative and destructive agenda of the Left — they hate America, and if you love America, they hate you — has turned its focus to attempting to destroy Rush Limbaugh by boycotting his advertisers. The so-called “Stop Rush” campaign was recently commercialized by Democrat Party consultant Zack Green, who on Friday put up a post called “Boycott @Subway until they dump Rush Limbaugh” at his 140Elect.com firm’s site. Zack Green is also the founder of “Unite Blue” (@UniteBlue or #UniteBlue), about which he had this to say in February:

In August of 2012 we launched UniteBlue.com to connect the Left on Twitter. I wasn’t interested in another top-down organization. UniteBlue is a bottom-up attempt to empower activists to push their agendas. . . .
We are growing rapidly, would love to bring others on board. . . . We are also in the process of becoming a 501c4 non-profit.

The anti-Subway/anti-Limbaugh campaign would seem to be a demonstration project by Green intended to showcase the effectiveness of (a) his online prowess as a Twitter consultant, and (b) his group, Unite Blue. If he can take out this one advertiser, Green wins — he’s the Big Dog and, presumably, he gets more consulting clients.

Well . . . Hello, massive fail: Rush Limbaugh has millions of radio listeners, while Green’s supposedly influential online organization @UniteBlue has only about 18,000 followers on Twitter (fewer followers than I have as an individual) and Rush’s listeners quickly put together their own “Rush to Subway” campaign that led to crowded dining rooms and lines out the door today at lunch time.

There is a problem that the anti-Limbaugh crowd can’t seem to understand: Bad causes attract bad people. Trying to shut down the most successful talk-radio program in America — to silence dissent against the Democrat-Media Complex — is a very bad cause indeed.

Is it therefore surprising to know that one of the key activists in #UniteBlue — indeed, a board member — turned out to be a drug dealer who was fighting child pornography charges? William “Bill” Talley was exposed in May after Zack Green and #UniteBlue tried to quietly dump him from the board and hush up the scandal. On May 29, Talley was sentenced to prison at a hearing in Nashville:

Detective Chad Gish testified to THOUSANDS of images and videos William Talley had in his possession, including children as young as THREE . . .
Detective Gish also testified to credit card receipts found on Talley’s PC as proof he had been buying access to child pornography . . .
Detective Gish: “These videos were so reprehensible. A three year old girl screaming while she was being raped”

Are we really surprised that a drug dealer who buys child pornography of 3-year-old girls getting raped is a progressive activist?

And are we surprised that people like that hate Rush Limbaugh?

Sure, Rush sometimes says things that are controversial. But given a choice between America’s Truth Detector and scum like “Unite Blue,” I think decent people know what side they’re on.

Also, those Subway sandwiches were delicious.

  3. #Rush2Subway 2day, 2morrow &next week—–Rush tells the TRUTH which makes him the ANTI-Obama—
    HOORAY The ANTI-OBAMA is what the NATION NEEDS.

  4. Foot-long steak ‘n cheese on honey oat with American cheese, toasted, with all the veggies but tomato, and just a bit of spicy mustard.

    While sitting in the store eating my sandwich I watched what eventually proved to be, apparently, a confab between a couple of tactical-team sheriff’s deputies and, if I’m not entirely wrong, the Sheriff himself, just outside the parking lot. I didn’t like that, from that distance, I couldn’t make out any insignia on the olive-drab uniforms, but later they came into the parking lot and I got a closer look.

    For their sake, I hope they always raid the right house.

  5. I have noticed the left always claim a campaign is grassroots, or bottom-up, as our Man Zack calls it. No coincidence, for the drunken zeal with which the left pursue their goals certainly lends itself to being accused of a bit too much “bottoms up”. As is usual from the left, their claims are precisely the opposite of the reality; no group are more top-down, or astro-turfed, as we call it, than the left. That is how they spontaneously have nation-wide protests with the same slogans printed on signs – in fact, often the same-source signs!

  10. They’ve gotten better. You have to choose the right franchise, though. Management makes all the difference.

    Subway can never beat the local shop with a following (like something you’d see on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives), but it is definitely better than regular fast food.

    Also, speak out if it looks like they aren’t doing it right! You have to watch the spinach they put on, for example. Be nice, but say, “wait! That spinach looks a little past it!” They’ll fix it right up.

  17. how can a collection of degenerate idiots be considered a “Social Welfare Organization”? unite blue strives to put companies out of business because the companies have differing views – and exacerbate the crummy economy. That sounds prison-worthy, not 503(c) recognition-worthy…

  19. Something wrong with that picture!
    A genuinely relaxed McCain, no laptop, keyboard, mouse, fedora, or beer!
    Glad you had time to do that, and great story!

  20. I have to disagree, the steak and cheese at Subway is one of the worst tasting things I’ve ever eaten.

    I like Rush but not enough to patronize subway over the excellent local sub shops around here.

  21. Limbaugh is as anti-American as anything that I can think of. He’s set the country back 100 years intellectually and his ilk is a large component of our demise. I have patronized Subway in a huge way but did not know they sponsor this drug addicted psycopath. The left need to get the message out more….let them come over to this kind of web page and see how you terrorist gush over “Rush for Subway”.
    Sickening… I won’t feel a bit of sympathy upon the demise of Limbaugh.
