AFLAC Pulls Advertising From Michael Savage Radio Show

The duck will quack no longer on Michael Savage's radio hate fest. AFLAC has announced it will pull it's advertising from the syndicated radio show after Savage made the statements that autistic children are simply, "a brat who hasn’t been told to cut the act out.”According the the ThinkProgress website, AFLAC stated:

“Aflac has a strong commitment to helping children through the Aflac Cancer Center and Aflac Foundation,” said a rep. “We understand that radio hosts pick on any number of targets however we found his recent comments about autistic children to be both inappropriate and insensitive.
Let's hope it's a trend. Savage has been spewing his hate on the public airwaves long enough.
