4. if you contribute a dollar, the ads go away.

We're democrats. Not communists.

Let Skinner make a buck off the newbies.

5. No, because the people who support and donate to DU have a star

and turn off all the ads. We don't see what you see.

Possibly your browser history is more at fault than DU Administration... :shrug:

17. I don't turn off the ads

and I don't read them.
They aren't going to influence me anymore than some of the extremist positions here would.
BUT, they support the site financially.
It matters not.

19. Right now there's an anti-war march ad at the bottom of the page.

Just FYI. At least at DU the ads don't blink. I hate those blinking ads that make you hold something over them so you can read a freaking news story. I think it's Yahoo that is the main culprit.
