Six more major companies have yanked ads from Michael Savage's talk-radio show after he branded autistic children "brats."
Home Depot and Sears withdrew their support from the fiery hatemonger's program, along with Direct Buy, Cisco and Radio Shack, according to Autism United.
Insurance giant Aflac was the first company to pull its commercials off the nationally syndicated show, which has more than 8 million listeners.
"We are going after each and every advertiser that hasn't dropped him yet," said Evelyn Ain, president of Autism United, who joined angry parents in a protest on Wall Street Friday.
"We are doing this in all states and really hoping that more people will immediately drop out supporting him. We are going after every angle."
