Sleep Train: Your Ticket to.....a CHIROPRACTOR...!
Posted on 03/05/2012 4:31:40 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY
The one I’m really going to ENJOY maligning will be Sleep Train, because Rush RESCUED the CEO decades ago:
The guy was strapped, staring biz failure right in the face, and simply because of a chance encounter in a run-down Sactramento pizzeria he was SAVED.
The guy’s table-mate had met Rush the day before in Sacramento at KFBK, and since Rush still had no bed in his tiny, dingy apartment, radio account exec guy suggested Rush as a customer.
Rush convinced him to buy ads on KFBK —Sleep Train was Rush’s VERY FIRST sponsor.
He was saved by Rush and now makes $300 MILLION per year.
TELL YOUR BUDDIES TO NNNNNEVER BUY SLEEP TRAIN.
“Everyone is pushing Carbonite on the radio.”
Including Ed Schultz, who called Laura Ingraham a slut. Carbonite didn’t bail on that asshole.
Sleep Train: Your Ticket to.....a CHIROPRACTOR...!
The government funds a car that will never make it as a commercial success on its own, based on market forces.
Same government encourages successful firms to abandon the advertising the helped make them successful.
This is sort of like Jimmy Carter, as predicted.
“The letter I saw posted from carbonites owner was insulting toward Rush. Use Crashplan.com. it is free.”
Breitbart’s site today explained why CARBONITE’S owner was so quick to denounce Limbaugh... Because the guy donates heavily to Soros groups like MoveOn.org and other Communist front groups such as the “Truth” group that pushed the forged Bush “national guard memos.”
Do a search for Breitbart; Carbonite and you’ll find the long article detailing what a Commie the owner is!
PS Carbonite also admits they’ve been losing tens of millions every year. They’re a losing operation. Probably just another Air America that exists to funnel money to the Marxists until it collapses.
This from Carbonite CEO David Friend:
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. Mr. Limbaugh, with his highly personal attacks on Miss Fluke, overstepped any reasonable bounds of decency. Even though Mr. Limbaugh has now issued an apology, we have nonetheless decided to withdraw our advertising from his show.
Friend added:
We hope that our action, along with the other advertisers who have already withdrawn their ads, will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse.
Now. Carbonite really deserves some special attention.
David Friend is making his attack on Rush sound like he's one upset Dad with a couple of nice young daughters. And oh, yes, he wants a "more civilized public discourse."
Is that all there is to Mr. Friend? Quite aside that he gives a pass to Sandra Fluke for her obnoxiously intolerant behavior when it comes to the free speech of others, is there anything else going on here?
Yes. Of course.
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.
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.
In other words, to put it politely, Mr. Friend's woe-is-me I'm-withdrawing-my-company's sponsorship-from-Rush Limbaugh-because of-my-lovely-daughters is as close to certifiable BS as one can imagine. Mr. Friend, one can only suspect, placed Carbonite's ads with Rush Limbaugh because he knew it would make him money -- which he obviously then funneled to MoveOn and the rest. Meanwhile, he keeps advertising on the Ed Slut Show… sorry… Ed Schultz Show. His daughters? His daughters? What a deeply cynical man.
Not to mention Friend's chutzpah calling for a "more civilized public discourse" when he is busy contributing to MoveOn.org, the self-same group that put together this charming video comparing George W. Bush to Hitler. Not to mention MoveOn's "Bush Lied" routine. This is pathetic.
Too funny if it was not for Rush’s show I would have no idea what Carbonite did. Rush would really sell that product to the point you would feel like a dumb ass if you did not have it. I wish I was a subscriber to Carbonite so I could dump them.
He said he called himself to cancel, but the lines were busy...
I tell you, the hypocrisy in the leftist media is just about to drive me nutty. I just don't have clear memories of their own mysoginists’ apologies after denigrating women repeatedly, especially conservative women....and liberal women let them do it!!!!! So much for “sista-hood!”
Nothing is free.
Never understand why folks—even those who are completely in the dark when it comes to technology—use a vendor to back up their systems.
No wonder there are so many “shameless profit center” breaks! He has more commercials than radio show it seems.
I’ll bet that the list is twice as long for those waiting for an opening to advertise their product on the EIB!
LLS
So...is Friend admitting that his daughters listen to Rush? That may be the reason his commie self is so ticked off.
A bit of hyperbole there, Friend?
My daughter 's a grad student somewhat younger than Ms. Fluke, and I certainly wouldn't be "proud" of this kind of display, as The One stated...
Rush used to speak highly of GM and mention all his GM vehicles until GM went begging to the Obama bunch for a bailout.
Haven’t heard a whisper since.
