Carbonite was made known to the public through advertising on Rush Limbaugh's show yet was the first and most mean-spirited of the Sandra Fluke tools to reject him when he told the truth, as usual, but used words best left to low life sewer worms like Bill Maher, David Letterman and Sargent Shultz. Unlike the rat feces listed above, El Rushbo apologized.
Carbonite is idiots for alienating their elderly base, many of whom are Rush supporters. Their marketing head should be FIRED.
I click on the Carbonite adverts whenever I see them now.
Bullsh!t.
They are the only creatures who can remember a time when the republicans had a spine.
I don't think Maher did, but for what it's worth, I believe Letterman and Schultz both apologized after they made their nasty comments.
I happened to be ‘surfin’ past CNN and they had a discussion about Rush losing sponsors. They said that he lost 127. Can that be possible? Just asking.
is this the stuff Kirk used to bluff Balok?
Carbonite jumped the shark. They are advertising heavy on TV now, but when their are free options that are better than them, the goofed in alienating an intelligent and dedicated group.
Pass the word around that CrashPlan.com is better than Carbonite, and it has an extremely good free plan where you back up to a friend or neighbors computer. Promote Crashplan and get all your friends and family to drop Carbonite. Carbonite uses your money to support liberal causes, so why pay them?
bttt
Rush explained that most of those are local sponsers of the local station...Not national sponsers that just sponser his show...each local runs their own sponsers during commercial time...The station I listen to runs commercials on local business’s...so it is with each station..
“I’ve come to the conclusion that boycotting of commercial goods is economic terrorism. A tool of the left and we shouldn’t stoop to their level.”
We appreciate you sticking around and answering us. Generally, Newbie trolls simply post something inflammatory and then leave.
As to the subject - no. There is NO WAY that we can win by staying “above the fray”. That is the strategy that John McCain tried to use in 2008. It simply DOES NOT work. We must meet them at their level. As far as I’m concerned if they want to jail people 5 years for being conservative, we should jail them for 10 years for being liberal - instead of shaking their hands and wishing them better luck next time.
“I happened to be ‘surfin’ past CNN and they had a discussion about Rush losing sponsors. They said that he lost 127. Can that be possible? Just asking.”
If he had more than 15 national sponsors, then maybe. But he doesn’t have many, since he doesn’t need many. The easy way to tell if he’s in trouble is to listen to his show, and see if the ad spots are filled. If they are not, you’ll hear a PSA or a spoof in their place. So far, at the national level, he’s fine - none of them. At the local level, it just depends, but he’s still doing well.
Right on.
Is it really only about leaving the use "slut" to the worms likes Maher, Letterman & Schultz? The fallacy of thinking this is merely about the word "slut" is exposed by remembering back less than one year ago, when a worldwide feminist propagada campaign sponsored by the leftist media was launched calling itself "SLUTWALK"
For those who do not remember, here are but a few of the 3/4 million images of unknown thousands who marched worldwide, under the SLUT/SLUTWALK banner. See google image search "slutwalk" @ LINK.
Why was that use and media propagation of "slut" OK, while Rush's was treated as a capital offense? It's much bigger than one word!
These Leftists are really trying for an Orwellian society - with their selective rules and language control. They already have it that Whites must say "the n word," while Blacks just say "nigger." (and "cracker" also for that matter) Where to next? Will it now be that Conservatives must now say "the s word," while Leftists just say "slut" (in addition to worse vulgarities)?
We already see the Obama/Holder DOJ making "all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others" a federal policies for voter intimidation, school bullying and other laws. We see PC's corruption of language beginning to control thought and behavior in education, law, media, etc..
It's not just about any one word or any one law; its about allowing the Left to create its Orwellian word of group privileges and thought control via language control - one word and one law at a time - until it's to late to stand up at all.
Left to create its Orwellian word = Left to create its Orwellian world
I am almost positive that I heard a Carbonite commercial, by Rush, on his program within the last few days....did they actually leave him?
So YOU'RE the one still buying the the Dixie Chicks albums.
