Four Companies Pull Ads from Coulter Website

Edited on Tue Mar-06-07 06:30 AM by AtomicKitten

Four companies to pull ads from Ann Coulter's website

Ann Coulter may soon be feeling the effects of her remarks at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference in the pocketbook.

At least four companies have decided to pull advertisements from Coulter's website in the wake of the controversy that erupted after the conservative columnist called presidential candidate John Edwards a "faggot" last Friday, reports CNN.

Verizon, Netbank, and Sallie Mae have all removed ads from the website. The ads were pulled in part due to a grassroots effort by a DailyKos diarist http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/3/5/141633/8349 who is reporting that Washington Mutual has also pulled ads from the website.

2. A little late to leave?

How any of these "reputable" companies could have hung on for so long is beyond me.
The latest flush from this despicable pig's (I apologize to pigs everwhere) mouth is only another addition to her verbal garbage.
Now they're leaving? Why were they supporting this nonsense to begin with?

7. Call her advertisers and the networks that hire her.

This is proof that she can be touched.
