Companies to pull ads from Coulter's Web site

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- At least three major companies want their ads pulled from Ann Coulter's Web site, following customer complaints about the right-wing commentator referring to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a "faggot."

Verizon, Sallie Mae and Georgia-based NetBank each said they didn't know their ads were on AnnCoulter.com until they received the complaints.

A diarist at the liberal blog DailyKos.com posted contact information for dozens of companies with ads on Coulter's site after the commentator made her remarks about Edwards at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington on Friday. (Full story)

"One of the best ways to communicate one's distaste for Coulter's repeated incidents of hate speech is to respectfully but firmly let her advertisers know you are deeply troubled by their indirect support of bigotry through their advertising on Coulter's Web site," the blogger VolvoDrivingLiberal wrote on DailyKos.com on Sunday.

Verizon, Sallie Mae and NetBank said the ads were put on a variety of sites by a third party company. In many cases, advertisers do not know which sites feature their ads.

Her next book should be on political correctness and it will sell big time.

The Kos kids, enabled by the limp wristed conservatives, have won a minor skirmish.

"...customer complaints about the right-wing commentator NOT referring to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a "faggot."

Yes, everyone is upset that she declined to call him "faggot".

Or, they would be if they knew...

But apparently liberals calling conservatives murderers is perfectly okay.

I know that Anne Coulter is loved by many but I strongly believe that she is our version of the left wing hate filled lunatics. She always steps in it, big time.

I disagree, since the last elections (and our losses) we have not really done very much, except comment on Rudy threads.

Perhaps this will be the start of a turning of the tide?

I would LOVE to see a movie starring Mel Gibson, Kramer,
Isaih Washington and Ann Coulter. Some kind of comedy displaying the idiocy of the left.

Could not disagree with you more. Her "stepping in it" is purposeful and calculated. A) to make her rich and B) to slam political correctness, wherever it raises its ugly head.

Turning a tide? by childish and stupid name calling of an insignificant candidate like Edwards?
