................ 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......

If you want better security:
- Buy two drives
- Encrypt them
- Swap regularly to a safe, external site (NOT the in-Laws ;)
Extra work, but you’re being proactive ... Also, a good disk imaging program is a must.
—Rush has never made a professional mistake that I have heard on air... —
And until this thing plays out, we’re not so sure this has been, either. Wouldn’t it be comical if he made the original statement, knowing full well that he would apologize for it. I’m not saying that’s what happened, but I would be less surprised by that than by this really being a boneheaded screw up by Rush. The former fits his MO. The latter most definitely does not.

On a side note, I miss the caller abortions, but I suppose everything has to run its course...
I have been suspicious of Carbonite since I first heard their ads on right-wing talk radio. The main thing that came to my mind was—who is behind Carbonite? I could easily imagine Carbonite being a communist Democrat-run data gathering operation.
What better way to get all the information on the computers of millions of conservatives who oppose the regime than set up this type of operation and advertise profusely on conservative outlets? They probably advertise on leftist programs, too, but what the heck?
Also, ProFlowers was founded by openly homosexual Congressman Jared Polis. FYI. ProFlowers and Shari’s Berries are sister companies.

(And they do obviously advertise on leftie sites like Ed Schultz who is allowed to call right-wing women “sluts” by the Carbonite Clown.)

Rush made this mistake on the air and it was newsworthy at the time.
I’ll admit to being pi$$ed at Rush on Saturday when I learned of his apology. I regrouped on Sunday, and fired off a letter of disgust to ProFlowers indicating that I will no longer purchase their product for their selective, politically correct outrage at Rush (Even after his apology!), and their decision to drop sponsorship to his show.
In fairness, I think those of us who were angry at Rush initially, have watched our “leaders” apologize time and time again. I think we’re just a little sensitive when our guys apologize when the Left NEVER does. My initial thought was: “How can Rush sit here day after day and tell us that GOP should NOT Accept the premises of the Democrats, and then turn around and apologize for his comments that were spot on?”
At any rate, I’m still a strong Rush supporter, and will be firing off a few more e-mails to the other gutless companies who’ve made the financially dumb decision to drop Rush. If they can drop Rush, WE CAN DROP THEM! ;-)
Had Glen Beck commented on this?
Didn’t want to post pic because it is rather large:

After reading the article, seems it was a good time for Rush to clean out his closet of shadowy Americans who were laughing all the way to the bank on the name Limbaugh. One of the many connotations for “slut” is whore....in my view Ms. Fluke has sold her soul to Nancy Pelosi’s Progressive anti-American machine so call it like she is....looks like Carbonite is a Trojan Horse for leftist causes.
I don’t have TV.
I have FR!!!! all the information and entertainment at my finger tips!
And that is exactly what they have done to Rush in this case.
I never watch the Sunday shows - am always on my way to 11am Mass...
the fact that a doof like Stephie who covered up Clinton’s abuse of women can be considered a “serious journalist” is stunning to me.
But thanks for the info...doesn’t surprise.
I just called Lifelock and the rep told me they had not cancelled on Rush. I told her I was going to cancel if they had. Have they dropped Rush too?
I am one of them. I should have held my judgement and got a hold of my emotions and gave him the benefit of the doubt.
I cannot wait to hear him today.
Although I enjoy your service and am pleased with how it works (I learned about Carbonite from the Rush Limbaugh program), unless you reconsider your decision to pull your ads from his program because of what he said about the 30-year-old political activist I will not renew my service and will no longer do business with you. I will advise my friends and mailing lists to do likewise. Sincerely,
because something about her sets off my gay-dar
Same here
Rereading that, it seems Rush apologized for the words, and not for the content of his comment. He also did not mention what words he was apologizing for. We're assuming it's the S & P words.
Truth is, Rush's words have power no matter how anyone would try to ignore him.
Rush is the left's worst nightmare.
