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.

The market is up over 200 points today, Carbonite is down 30 cents after posting record quarterly results on Wed (that means less red ink year over year) Some estimate it's book value at less than $1.

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.

I’m in the same boat as you. I’m in the middle of a subscription period with carbonite, but when it is over- I’m gone. Additionally, I have owned at least one GM vehicle since 1983. Currently, I have two GM vehicles. But I will never again buy a GM vehicle.

Friend added that he was “not regretful of the decision. I think things would have been worse had we not done that.”

How fast was he spinning when he said that?

Didn't see the video, but I suspect that the spin velocity was somewhere around Warp Factor 9...

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

I know that’s shopped, but it sure puts a different spin on a ‘rubber room’....

“WLet’s not forget that this “young, courageous woman” brought the “slut” description upon herself”

I can’t believe Mr. Limbaugh apologized for that.
