... because people made the advertisers aware they were supporting and profiting off her ilk. A lot of work went into that and people can still help. Check out this Daily Kos diary where someone tracked down all the advertisers on Coulter's site and gives the pertinent contact info. As this poster notes, it's not a boycott of those advertisers, but a chance to let the advertisers know what they're being connected with a la Spock-O. Also included is a snip of what Verizon told people when they emailed them.

Howard Kurtz comments on the coverage--and lack thereof--of Coulter's latest "stink bomb."

Dear Mark,

Thank you for expressing your concerns about the advertising of Classmates.com on AnnCoulter.com.

We are opposed to discrimination, period. The vast majority of our advertising is purchased through third party advertising networks that place the advertisements on thousands of different web sites. Our agreements with these networks generally prohibit placing ads on sites that have objectionable content. We did not directly place these ads on Ms. Coulter’s web site. We asked the ad network to pull the ad from her site and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Sincerely,

Judy
