I've been trying to get across that this is way beyond the scope of civil discourse...

Thanks for posting this -- I'll write them, too. (What's the email address or URL for the form?)

sounds like a b.s. response. NPR, gmafb.

right wing wack job making that NPR request.

total bullshit

I'd say you contact "Dave" again on March 12 and find out if he got a satisfactory response from his meeting with Limbaugh.

and ask Limbaugh to tell her she's a slut to her face.

At least he writes like one.

Dave's...not here man.

as in /dev/null ?

Just wondering...

david.friend@carbonite.com

of backups...

Money talks...

That's the first I've seen them as one!

I'll write them a sorrowful message about how sad I am that I will miss their Seriously Sharp Cheddar since I will not buy their products anymore as long as they sponsor that person.

Thank you!

I love their Seriously Sharp cheese, but I can live without it if they keep sponsoring Limbaugh. I'll still eat the block I have in the fridge though, since it's already paid for.

responsible on-air personalities. Ed Schultz, in particular, took personal responsibility for a comment he made "in the heat of the moment". These types of comments are Limbaugh's stock-in-trade. For instance, his insistence at mispronouncing Mayor Ray Nagin's name during coverage of the Katrina disaster. He has yet to take responsibility for any of his inane comments.

Dave: Its not just his most recent outburst. He has a long history of making insulting and vile comments. Because of your past association with this offensive personality I personally will not do business with Carbonite.

One of these things is NOT like the others.

We'll know they take this seriously when they yank their advertising support. Platitudes don't make it.

Fire his ass and be done with it. Set a good example, Carbonite.

You have scheduled a face-to-face meeting next week with Limbaugh during which you will impress upon him that his comments were offensive to many of our customers and employees alike?

That's not good enough. This is not the first time that he has said horrid, misogynistic things about women.

This is not how any civilized country treats women. These are our mothers, aunts, sisters, nieces, co-workers, and neighbors. These are women. These are people.

I am forwarding your "response" to every women I know. My daughters, granddaughters, nieces, co-workers, and neighbors!!!

They're really nervous about what's going to happen. They just put a casual face in the response to you. Believe me, behind the scenes they're scrambling. Probably scared of him but more terrified of losing what may be hundreds of thousands of customers at this point.

This is beyond the "entertaining" talk radio - this is a full blown war on - not only Ms Fluke - but all women.

So, I will be emailing "DAVE" and telling him that that his response is not quite there yet. For myself and having listened to both Stephanie Miller and Ed Schultz, I don't believe I ever heard either one of them calling a college student a slut or prostitute. In Stephanie Miller's case, she is self-denigrating only and certainly not cruel. I also think that at the very least, Ed Schultz has taken responsibility for some of his remarks. Never heard Limpballs ever accept responsibility for anything.

public figures.

I think they are planning to give him a time out and take away his Nintendo privileges for a week.

1. Sign up with Carbonite and say I heard an ad on one of the progressive shows. I never listen to talk radio, Limbaugh-type or our side, but I could tell them a little white lie to give one of our people a boost. Any specific code or URL I should use?

2. Sign up with a competitor. Someone in this thread mentioned Veritas -- never heard of them, are they any good?

3. Any other ideas from knowledgeable people? I'm increasingly thinking that I need to shell out for some kind of online backup.

First he says "the outcry over Limbaugh is the worst we’ve ever seen" The problem being the outcry and not Limbaugh's words. Second, there's no promise to pull advertising, just "talk" to Limbaugh.

that hateful gasbag is offensive every time he speaks
