Carbonate was unusable for me would have taken days to do a back up.

No one with daughters the age of Sandra Fluke, and I have two, could possibly abide the insult and abuse heaped upon this courageous and well-intentioned young lady

. "courageous and well-intentioned"....I about spit up on my keyboard with that.

As I always say, liberals are incapable of embarrassment. Which is necessary given their limited powers of reasoning and large mouths.

I hate to sound like a jerk but I’m glad it cost Carbonite a lot of money and I hope all the other companies that dropped him were hurt too.

Obviously though not much of a lesson has been learned if they think their company would have been hurt more by continuing to advertise with Rush.

As I told the companies I quit doing business with over the Rush brouhaha, conservatives have money and spend it with the companies that advertise and support the people they support. Liberals are often less well off in that area and just say they used your company in the past and won’t use it in the future - they lie. At one company when I told them that, I was laughed at! Wonder who is laughing now?

It's hell when you misread a controversy....this idiot though all his liberal friends would come a running....they seldom do... that is a conservative trait(see Chick-Fil-A). What he got were the people who listen to Rush supporting their guy. I only regret I never signed up so I could have called up a dropped it!!

With all due respect, she was neither. I have two daughters, as well. Both of them older -- and more mature -- than Ms. Fluke.

Neither would've allowed themselves to be used -- as Ms. Fluke was used -- in service to a political agenda. Especially one that was counter to their own moral standards...

Because you know at the time there was a lot of noise, I mean we had a huge spike in web traffic around that time just because of all the interest in the whole subject. And it took close to a month for that to sort of die down. And meanwhile our metrics were, we really couldn’t see what was going because there was so much noise around the website that we had no idea what the ultimate impact was going to be.

A lesson to others: that "noise" is liberal astroturfing from a few savvy computer users to make you think that there is a big groundswell of support.

Carbonite appears to have not learned this lesson. Will you?

Too bad, so sad.

What’s even funnier was Rush saying on his show (multiple times) that most of the sponsors who cancelled tried to come crawling back, but Rush told them NO.

I think things would have been worse had we not done that.

The old "I meant to do that!" excuse.

[Theophilus]

Always thought it was a flukey product. At the time I spitefully wished I were a customer so I could drop them.

[DouglasKC]

Friend added that he was “not regretful of the decision. I think things would have been worse had we not done that.” Legal Insurrection’s William Jacobson calls that “laughable” adding: “It’s too convenient now to say things would have been worse, when Friend completely misjudged the impact of dropping Limbaugh.”

I'm only still using it because I already paid for it...but took off my credit card info so they're sol after this runs out. Whoever made this decision is a tone deaf idiot.

[JediJones]

Carbonite is certainly not the kind of product whose marketing campaign should be centered on pleasing liberals. Liberals are either too rich to value what’s on their computer enough to protect it or they’re too poor to ever buy something so unnecessary. This is a product for the middle class, hence ticking off conservatives is a bad idea.

[SuziQ]

Shows the danger of flying off the handle and getting caught up in the heat of an issue because the MSM wants to push it. Had the CEO simply said, if asked, that he wasn’t responsible for what someone on a radio show on which he advertises says, and left it at that, he probably would have been fine.

[yoe]

It was Political Correctness ‘what’ stole the day not the word Rush used. Think about it.
