On Saturday, Carbonite CEO David Friend released a statement on his company’s website declaring that Carbonite had decided to “withdraw” advertising from Rush Limbaugh’s radio show in the wake of his controversial remarks involving Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke because it will “ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse”:
Even though Mr. Limbaugh has now issued an apology, we have nonetheless decided to withdraw our advertising from his show. We hope that our action, along with the other advertisers who have already withdrawn their ads, will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse.
However, it hasn’t done much to contribute to his company’s stock price. Since the market opened on Monday through its close today, Carbonite stock (NASDAQ:CARB) has plummeted nearly 12 percent, outpacing the drop of the NASDAQ index in that same time period by nine-and-a-half points.

I think she did mention herself in the conversation
I sure hope their CEO and board were wearing condoms, cuz they just (expletive deleted) their stockholders.
It isn't the initial reaction that hits a company's bottom line but the depth and sustained reaction that breaks their banks.
My Carbonite is good until the end of the year, I will probably change over then to Moxi
Capital One... what's in your wallet - next to the government mandated rubber?
If I said beer goggles, would that provide a clue? /s
Now really, if you're going to make your sex a national issue then I am going to confront you. If you can't handle that then get it out of my face!
I think Carbonite can access the info from your computer that they warehouse in a “safe” place, anytime they want to.
I wonder if Obama ever asks them to make “your” info available to him. Who would know? Would make sense that they’d advertize on a conservative program to have info from as many conservatives as possible. Brilliant.
I will see if I can do something like that. There are much more capable people on freerepublic that can probably make it some sort of graph. I simply looked up each of the advertisers I saw listed and googled a stock quote for them.
I wonder if their are those that support Rush that are buying “puts”...
Carbonite - fluked again!
The CEO's making these calls will land on their feet, but people working to pay the bills will lose their jobs - all because of Democrats.
I am so sick of hearing that bull crap. The left is uncivilized and filled with hate not Rush or his listeners.
Carbonite Clusterfluck
She doesn’t nor will she ever.
Having seen the woman, I have no idea how she gets so much sex.
i was thinking that myself...Carbonite——Friend-—MoveOn.org-—media matters-—Obama. Nice list.
