Remember, Proflowers owns QVC, the home shopping network. Pass it on.
Forget about rallying for Rush - how about drumming up some support for Rubio, Fortenberry et al...?
Making outraged Facebook posts isnt going to pass legislation.
He sounded interested and said he was going to pass the informaton on to Glenn. We'll see.
From the article:
Take a look here at this link to Bloomberg/Business Week which profiles Mr. Friend and affirms him as "General Partner" of an investment group called "Orchid Partners" in Boston, Massachusetts. And Orchid Partners? Yes indeed, they are the venture capital firm behind… Carbonite.
Where Mr. Friend is listed as "Co-Founder, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President."
So?
So when you cross check Mr. David Friend of Orchid Partners in Boston with the Federal Election Commission, one finds -- ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh shocker!……… that a Mr. David Friend of Orchid Partners in Boston has been a contributor to… ready? Here's the list of just where David Friend spends his political money:
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.
i’m thinking that if everybody who patronized these sponsors because of Rush left them, with the proper notification, then they’ dthink twice before bailing. remember snapple?
BTTT
ProFlowers owns “ProPlants”, RedEnvelope”, “Personal Creations”, “Cherry Moon Farms” and “Sheeris Berries”. Boycott them all.
Rush is awakening the Sleeping Giant.
Thanks. Good pro action piece! Didn’t know that about Reagan and GE and Kennedy. Interesting!
How many remember this disgusting remark by the nasty lesbian sandra bernhard?
Sandra Bernhard issued a blistering warning to Sarah Palin during a performance of her new one-woman show.
The Republican V.P. nom would be “gang-raped by my big black brothers” if she enters Manhattan, Bernhard said. Palin is said to be making a campaign stop in New York next week./
I back Rush 100%. I have contacted carbonite and will soon contact pro-flowers. I will also purchase Blueberry Tea. Rush needs us now. Let’s not let him down.
I wonder if Rush was even aware of David Friend's ties to George Soros.
But this confirms what my Spidey Senses were telling me about why Ally Bank hasn't dropped Rush.
Ally Bank was called GMAC before President Clouseau stole GM from its shareholders and gave it to The UAW.
This is what I just sent out to all of my family & friends:
Dear folks,
This is a personal e-mail that I have written, not one that I copied off the internet. I am “getting off my butt” and Doing Something! My personal ‘Doing’ is to spread the truth by sending the articles in this e-mail and to participate in a ‘Rally for Rush’.
Regardless of what you may or may not think of Rush, please do me the personal favor of reading the following two articles:
The first article, “The Real Point of the Left’’s Uproar Over Limbaugh” does an excellent job of detailing “we see the real progressive agenda at work: increasing the power and reach of the federal government and its bureaucratic minions by discrediting and marginalizing any other source of authority over our behavior, especially institutions of moral authority such as churches. “
http://frontpagemag.com/2012/03/05/the-real-point-of-the-left%e2%80%99s-uproar-over-limbaugh/
The second, from American Spectator, shows the extent of thevicious, organized effort to damage Rush and get him off the air. Did you know that the Carbonite CEO is connected to Moveon.org? Read the article for the details about this, some of the other advertisers and the extent to which the Left is organized and operating - I’d say it’s ‘shocking’, but nothing shocks me much any more about the Left.
http://spectator.org/archives/2012/03/05/rally-for-rush/
These are very important reads –please pass them on and if you are so inclined, please let the advertisers who caved to the leftist campaign to damage and silence Rush know what you think about such tactics (details in the 2nd article).
We lost a Conservative Warrior this past week, Andrew Breitbart. He was not afraid to tell the truth and he did it every day. His conviction was that the enemy we are fighting is the media ….. the leftist media. American Patriots, you’ve been handed the torch. Breitbart is in all of us now. We are living in the times described by George Orwell when he said “In an era of universal deceit, the truth is a revolutionary act”.
I say: To cower in silence is no longer an option.
BE BREITBART!!
Regards,
MM
PS - as Newt Gingrich so aptly stated when David Gregory tried to draw him in to the Rush kerfluffle:
“‘I am astonished at the desperation of the elite media to avoid rising gas prices, to avoid a presidential apology to religious fanatics in Afghanistan, to avoid a trillion dollar deficit … and suddenly decide that Rush Limbaugh is the real national crisis this week.”

One line of my letter to Sleep Train (where we have purchased two beds): "We are amazed that a woman complaining that she wants her irresponsible sexual activities to be sponsored by your customers would turn you away from the man who has brought you many of those customers."
One line to Legal Zoom (a company I have used before):"How ironic that a company founded by one of the O.J. Simpson defenders would take offense at the truth"
Before I am done, I will contact them all.
Thanks for the info.
Phoned or emailed most on the list...
Hi All, 12-year lurker, first time poster here. This mendacious attack on Rush has finally motivated me to say something on FR. I hope I’m putting this in the right place.
After spending the past two days writing angry emails and deleting my subscriptions to Rush’s former sponsors, I started searching for a list of sponsors who are still standing by Rush. My thinking was that we should all be contacting these folks just as fervently as we do his traitors - to offer them reassurances that they’re doing the right thing.
It should come as no surprise that the most comprehensive listing (broken down by day) that I could find is located at:
http://mediamatters.org/blog/201203050019
If you click on “Ads Aired” you’ll see there are still quite a few sponsors hanging in with Rush, but it’s also clear that the enemy is very organized in their targeting of them (it’s what Soros pays MM to do, after all).
If you have some extra time, please think about contacting these companies and pledging your support.
