I made the call to AutoZone - Best # at the Advertising Dept is: 901-495-7123 for Tracey Houston in Memphis or 901-435-6126 receptionist.

This is essentially what I said::

This is not about freedom of speech, this is about a radio personality's blatant falsehoods and repeated racist remarks over the years. Haven't we all heard enough to know that Rush Limbaugh is NOT the voice of mainstream America? His voice is of the extreme and his main goal is to get rich by saying anything that will fuel hate and frustration by pointing the finger at innocents. That is not the America we want to live in.
