Rally for Rush (Carbonite CEO tied to MoveOn.org: time for conservatives to fight blacklisting?)
The American Spectator ^ | March 5, 2012 | Jeffery Lord

Posted on 03/05/2012 3:25:36 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

................• Carbonite: OK. Now we'll talk Carbonite. And about Mr. McLaughlin of Sleep Number. And two of the co-founders of Legal Zoom.

Carbonite's statement was especially and curiously unctuous, its withdrawal of sponsorship coming as it did after Rush's apology. Here is Carbonite's CEO David Friend:

...Now. Carbonite really deserves some special attention......................

MoveOn.org, America Coming Together and Democracy for America, all three listed here as George Soros funded groups, the latter set up by Howard Dean. Texans for Truth also drew Mr. Friend's support. This group, according to Wikipedia, was set up by MoveOn.org spin-off Drive Democracy.org in 2004. Why? To… wait for it… challenge then-President Bush's service in the Texas National Guard. The precise same stunt for which CBS fired Dan Rather after documents were discovered to have been forged. The Bush-Cheney campaign said of Texans for Truth that it was "a smear group launching baseless attacks on behalf of John Kerry's campaign that will be rejected by the American people." They were. But that didn't quench Mr. Friend's affection for either the smear campaign or supporting leftist candidates such as Howard Dean, and John Kerry.

And get a load of this. Take a look right here at Ed "Laura Ingraham is a slut" Schultz's site for his radio show. Who is listed as a Schultz sponsor? That's right: Carbonite. Like Rush Limbaugh, Ed Schultz apologized. The difference? If Rush uses the word "slut" to illustrate the absurdity of the left-wing Sandra Fluke's views -- David Friend is outraged. But when Ed Schultz refers in hostile fashion out of the blue to conservative and Catholic Laura Ingraham as a "slut" -- hey, no big deal for Carbonite......

rush tv was good...it got me started listenin, and he did a great job of shining the light on the commie creep...

too bad, when one of us *apologizes*, it rarely if ever *fixes* anything, on the contrary, it usually is a signal to muzzcomms of weakness, and emboldens the pack to go for blood...

RE :”too bad, when one of us *apologizes*, it rarely if ever *fixes* anything, on the contrary, it usually is a signal to muzzcomms of weakness, and emboldens the pack to go for blood...

I listened to him talk about it yesterday. He said he apologized for two words he used, then goes on to blame liberals for him using them (???? missing the logic there). Then he went on to state that he was right and step by step how house Dems carefully planned and used Fluke to setup house Republicans to make them look anti-woman, I thought that part was good.

So Rush got the story off the TV networks, MSNBC will continue their war until they get bored, Rush's ratings skyrocket due to this, his loyal listeners rally to defend their hero being attacked which is part of the continuing Rush theme, the sponsors will eventually come back and Rush will do great $$$$.

The Republican party on the other hand??

The Republican party on the other hand??

they lost and were newtered at the very moment that they allowed the gutting of the 1A to become a controversy about contraception or wimmins health...

taken to the logical extreme, even making it about abortion misses the whole point of the battle...

the rallying cry couldve included anybody, even atheists, to defend the 1A from the power of the fed, but instead, we got the least common denominator, and that invariably goes to raw emotion and staged drama, which is the expertise of the commies...

propaganda and alinsky 101...

Wow you sure showed them, in a year! Dump their ass [Carbonite] this week, Mozy or am external Hard drive will do fine.

Well, actually, since I have already paid for the year, dumping them now would be a financial boon to them, especially since I am a pack rat and have 243GB of data on their server. I do prefer a cloud drive backup, but Mozy would cost me a lot more. www.top10cloudstorage.com has better choices for me.

LOL.....by the way, this is my first one. I only watched because it directly affected my business (mortgage lending), and I wanted to see if he would lie about H.A.R.P.
He lied like a freaking rug : )

Maybe President Obama should call Carbonite investors to comfort them on their $31,000,000 loss since dropping Rush.

#backlash
