Citrix drops Rush sponsorship

Citrix Facebook ^ | March 2, 2012 | Brett Caine SVP GM

[Leroy S. Mort]

Over the past day, we’ve heard from many great Citrix customers about our advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Show. These customers have expressed their growing concern that some of his recent comments seem inconsistent with the core values Citrix has always stood for – humility, integrity and respect.

While Citrix obviously does not control any show’s content or endorse opinions of their hosts, we do take the concerns of our customers seriously. When they are upset about something, we listen. After careful consideration, we have decided to discontinue our advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Show.

Sincerely,

Brett Caine

SVP and GM, Online Services Division

Tell everyone you know to never use go to my pc again. Tell them to tell their friends, family, and coworkers to spread the news as well.

My God, I’ll bet they have advertised on shows with spokesmen who have referred to Palin (or her children) as sluts - often.

Bump the daylights out of this statement...never a peep out of advertisers who sponsor shows where Governor Palin is referred to as a 'tw*t' or a 'c**t', but let Rush use the term 'slut' in reference to a deceiving anti-Catholic Democrat operative, and it's 'Katy bar the door'.

Go to hell, hypocrites, and stay there.

The long arm of obama reaches through the radio to try and stifle free speech, again.

These advertisers do a lot of research for the best place to put their national advertising, and believe me, they KNEW what Rush Limbaugh was controversial long before spending the first advertising dollar.

But, they wanted that vast audience to hear their sales pitch, and they got it.

I used to run a radio station and I have also had advertisers call up from time to time and try to tell me what to broadcast, or, pull their advertising when they heard something they didn't like. So, I would take their ads off the air. Later, when they cooled off and wanted their ads running again, I would tell them that I'm "sold out".

They paid me for the 30-seconds their ad was running...not for any of the other on-air time. I said what they wanted to say during "their" 30-seconds, the rest of the time was mine, and the other advertisers.

Those self-righteous advertisers are too stupid (aka liberal) to know that this will just increase Rush's audience and his ratings.

The only people upset by what Rush says about liberals, are liberals, to the rest of us he is shining the spotlight of truth.

Given Sandra Fluck's [sic]background and what we have found out about her, Rush is right.

Democrats have one huge advantage over conservatives — organization. At the drop of a hat Democrats can organize massive email, phone and letter writing campaigns to force their will upon “publicity conscious” advertisers.

Conservatives are almost always too busy with life to bother with such tactics. Democrats have nothing better to do.

The more successful they [Democrats] are in sponsoring boycotts of products and threats to sponsors the more encouraged they are by their success to press on.

Conservatives need an effective, national network/organization to fight back. Unfortunately, I don’t know of one and conservatives, by nature, don’t like being told what they should do by anyone. Democrats, on the other hand, love being part of a fascist hierarchy and being ordered around.

As far as boycotting the list of former sponsors — easy for me. I never used any of them to begin with.

Gotta Love Rush

Rush waiting for Bill Clinton to call Sandra Fluke to see if she’s OK

RUSH:
...“Where is it written that when all of a sudden if you want something and don’t have the money for it, somebody else has to pay for it. I think the whole notion of being insulted here –there are a lot of us insulted by this whole idea that is growing throughout the Obama administration, that the people who make this country work are somehow doing their fair share, not paying their fair share, that we have to be punished even more. Here’s the latest example of it.”

I’ve always been amazed at the complete garbage advertised on these shows, especially Hannity.
Never used any of thses products, because they are useless.

[Hot Tabasco]

I haven’t heard a Snapple commercial in a very long time.

Neither have I. In fact, I think they only advertised when they were small and privately owned then their sales started to skyrocket. I think they were then bought out by a company that had a nationwide distribution system already in place........

Rush is in that category right now, the only distribution is via FedEx or some such delivery company.....

“Conservatives need an effective, national network/organization to fight back. “

Well after they got outed, the MSM changed to another “journolist”.

Perhaps “journolist” is as a result available now for sale, to conservatives. :D

Would be a fitting poke in the eye, to the liberal media.

Maybe Jim Thompson could buy it for FR!

Not to mention, the same basic functionality that Citrix provides is built in to Windows Server and Windows 7 desktops on a domain. I believe the Server components are built from the same exact code, since Citrix software originated from what they built for Microsoft for Windows NT, but Microsoft failed to get exclusive rights on it, so Citrix was able to resell it to others.

nothing skype and a few free apple apps cant replace

"Users of GoToMyPC, GoToMeeting, and other Citrix products be aware."

Shift to Cisco's Webex. Not to support Cisco, but to punish Citrix.

Same with Sleep Train, buy your bed anywhere else. Send them a copy of your receipt.

Hold on now, Citrix isn't remote control for PCs, they bought that functionality from some other company. When you're talking Citrix, most likely you're talking about the ability to publish applications in a window and present only these applications to the user with the admin allowing access based on group membership. Citrix is awesome.

They have Xenserver which allows you to virtualize several servers on one device and they use a hypervisor so you don't even need Windows although you can run Windows or Linux in these virtual sessions.

I don't see why they need to advertize on Rush anyway. People that need what Citrix offers know where to go.

They are going to feel stupid when they find out the truth of this operative Rush is talking about...

[Lx]

There’s WebEx which was bought by Cisco.

[who knows what evil?]

This whole thing is a set up to distract us from the REAL issues (gas, debt, and so forth) and to rally naive female voters to the Democrat party...I have little doubt that George and his fellow operatives were talking to Ms. Fluke LONG before he sprung 'that question' on Romney at the presidential debate...

Set up, set up, set up...

[Boogieman]

You can use Symantec's PcAnywhere to achieve the same thing. Or, you can set up a VPN connection through a whole variety of means, and you probably won't have to purchase any software to do that. If you are accessing computers on the same network domain, you can also use Windows Server Terminal Services and Windows Remote Desktop Sharing for free also.

What a change in America. When Rush started he used a pointer made from the Rain Forest and danced around a bear skin rug on the floor. He’s always made ridiculous comments about those in the news (and this woman did put herselt out there if you know what I mean).

Anyway, of all the things the liberals have taken from us, too many to list, I grieve the loss of our sense of humor more than anything else. The fact they pounce on some literal meaning for everything said and take the fun out of everything.

I laughed at Rush for this bit on the slut, it was funny to those who still have a sense of humor.
