Citrix drops Rush sponsorship
Citrix Facebook ^ | March 2, 2012 | Brett Caine SVP GM

Posted on 03/03/2012 9:00:22 AM PST by Leroy S. Mort

Over the past day, we’ve heard from many great Citrix customers about our advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Show. These customers have expressed their growing concern that some of his recent comments seem inconsistent with the core values Citrix has always stood for – humility, integrity and respect.

While Citrix obviously does not control any show’s content or endorse opinions of their hosts, we do take the concerns of our customers seriously. When they are upset about something, we listen. After careful consideration, we have decided to discontinue our advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Show.

Sincerely,

Brett Caine

SVP and GM, Online Services Division

Citrix has gone downhill. Their bloated software doesn’t help anyone anymore. VPN rules the roost.

Dear Brett Caine:

When all this blows over, and people have forgotten, and your sales are down, and you want to go back to advertising on Rush, I hope he tells you to go to hell. Where you belong.

With no regards,

Me.

Poor old Rush!

I imagine he will still be able to eke out a living somehow.

Something tells me that a radio host with an audience of twenty million will not have much trouble replacing them...

I have to use them for work but there are many other remote options that cost little to nothing.

People who are upset about Limbaugh’s comments don’t listen to his show anyway. Advertisers are shooting themselves in the foot.

I swear.... These companies just can’t wait to jump the line for shooting themselves in the foot... or elsewhere.

And what are they going to do when it comes out that once again Rush was right? His show doesn’t have to take their advertising. There are literally hundreds of companies in line for the limited number of Ad spots on that show.

It comes down to one thing in business be careful of who you piss off. Your customers usually have an alternative to your products.

Yep, this is the time to get onboard with Rush advertisers. He’s going to get even more listeners and more BUYCOTTS. Heehee

I don't know about GoToMeeting but I looked up GoToMyPC online and read the forums. Everyone there said it was a total ripoff. Rush is probably better off without them anyway.

It is bloatware, semi-useless software that takes up a lot of spaces and resources and that borders on malware. Citrix products fit the description very well. It is also usually overpriced and overhyped as well.

Here! Here!

I hate advertisers that focus more on being PC than providing a quality product and service to a true market.

Sleep train here in sacramento has also pulled their advertising on KFBK 1530, Rush’s former home base station. Rush talked about his sleep train bed and the owner even said in the story on our local news that Rush made his business because after he talked about his bed on the air his business skyrocketed. I hope Rush does not allow him to advertise during his show EVER AGAIN. Ingrate.

I use GoToMyPC every day. Is there an alternative application I can subscribe to?

Considering this lack of leadership, and meek caving to a politically-motivated whine campaign from people who would not be buying their product anyway - the fact a company would cave this way makes me think this would be a good stock to sell short.

I predict a Chapter 13 in their future.

Weenies.

They will soon find out there are not enough liberal business owners to keep them afloat. Don't let the door hit you....

My question is--will Hannity drop THEM? I don't listen to him if I can help it - he's a lightweight and a poseur, but I know he shills for them.

So Rush can free up even more advertising time to sell his tea now.
