CARBONITE CEO David Friend was advertising on Rush Limbaugh's program, but giving money to MoveOn and "Texans For Truth," which pushed the (forged) Bush national guard memos that ended Dan Rather's career.

A couple days after pulling CARBONITE's ads from Rush's program, today CARBONITE stock (symbol CARB) tanked -8.74%.

CARBONITE apparently loses tens-of-millions every year. Perhaps this added publicity helped educate people (shareholders) on their terrible business model and year-after-year losses.

Instead of paying left-wing CARBONITE, folks should purchase an external hard drive to back up data.

Giving money to CARBONITE means giving money to folks like Soros, Howard Dean and John Kerry.

Be sure when ever you hear a carb-— commercial to see what program they are sponsoring. Write the program and express your distaste. This can be truly fun.

Lots of business concerns donate to both major political parties. But Moveon?

See, all CARB had to do was say they are working on battery technology and voila, taxpayer money appears.

So they became a market driven company and the market sain, no thanks. The CEO needs to be fired and the company needs to salvage one of the working lines of business and focus soley on that.

go to your cupboard.... get your roll of tin foil, and make a hat, because here comes my conspiracy theory... these here advertisers offered rush tons of cash to be advertised on his show.... knowing that the day would come when they would pull their advertising, along with several other high profit advertisers, in the hope of either putting him “in line” or bankrupting him and forcing him off the air... the only way they could not win is if he did not give a damn about these here specific advertisers.... rush got ‘em again... they lose

It is a stupid product anyway. You can go to Walmart and buy a terabyte of backup for under $100.

Silly, silly liberal business people.

Conservatives are the people with jobs and money to spend on your products.

Liberals, outside of a few elite, live off the government teat and spend their money on fast food, cigarettes, drugs, lottery tickets, and alcohol.
