CNN's partnership with Bing and Microsoft was going great until someone switched the camera angle.

From the front, all midterm viewers could see last night was an immaculate row Microsoft Surface Pro 3 tablets:

...But like a Playboy resting comfortably in a geometry textbook, there were iPads lurking...

Everybody uses communist computers, even with Gay CEO Microsoft donates far more to leftist causes than Apple, but it still isn’t perceived to be as “liberal”. And in case you were thinking about going to linux, Linus Torvalds who wrote the original linux kernel is the son of card-carrying Communist party members. When it comes to choosing a computer/operating system you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

No doubt. But only one of them advertizes their crap as a gay/eco saving lifestyle choice. Consider Microsoft a ‘lesser evil” ;)

Please, show us that advertising from Apple that says iPhones or Macs are promoting gay or eco lifestyle as a preferred choice. I can think of nothing more gay than the dancing, clicking Microsoft Surface ads. Apple ads are about family for the most part.

Swordmaker's and Kathy's proposed diagnosis for the new ICD-10 addenda:

90210 iOS Munchausen's Apple-Plexy Syndrome (MAPS), The overwhelming compulsion to post negative, judgmental, aggressive, and false commentary on any website thread related to Apple products wherever found, including phobic reaction to projected Apple user euphoria. First and subsequent encounters.

Yes, you are a sufferer of MAPS.

Companies can donate to whatever they want.

But as far as I’m concerned, the single greatest threat to American freedom and traditions are the LGBTQS. And Freepers that act like loony cheerleaders for that company and their hero homo CEO are basically on their team.

But I guess their devotion to a logo and a stupid gadget outweighs everything else.

And cheif Apple Wingnut, Swordmaker, illustrates perfectly:

“omg cnn hides ipads behind surfaces. Their prefered devices! Gush gush gush! Ping ping ping! “ *gigantic fruit logo*

This stuff about all of the other companies is a red herring. You certainly to see a daily stream of propaganda shill articles from people using Microsoft, Linux, or Android on FR.

But you were spreading your particular anti-Apple hate and bile long before you knew anything about the sexual proclivities of anyone at the head of the executive suite at Apple. You've had an anti-Apple agenda far longer than Cook has been associated with Apple. You are just filled with hate. Irrational hate. You are a troll. You simply cannot stand that anyone make different choices about technology than you. You cannot post in these threads without insulting and offending people who you don't knoe. You act just exactly like a left-wing Liberal. You suffer from a severe case of MAPS.

This makes me ask what they use over at MSNBC? That MS does stand for something no?

To me, this just illustrates the silliness of the notion that the producers of programming should somehow be beholden to their advertisers within the context of said programming. The advertising relationship should never go beyond

1. Take $$$$

2. Air commercial

That's it.

Blah blah blah.

You go stand with your LGBTQs company to hell and back if you want. Running around calling people Apple “haters” like your ilk love to do, is no different than your average leftist calling people racist for daring to not kiss Obama’s ass.

You are no better than they are. You even lied and said that Jim Rob had forbade anyone from being critical of them on FR. And now you look even more foolish now that their CEO is out of the closet.

Im not required to love that company. And I dont care how much it hurts your feelings that people on a conservative website actually are less than thrilled with an outfit that is becoming the most leftist computer company in America.

So go back and scour the web for some more apple crap to wave your rainbow pom-poms over. Im sure Tim Cookie will keep you in his thoughts and prayers.
