Removing Hate With The Click of A Button

Nothing gets me going in the morning like 3 cups of extra strong coffee, some ADD medication and the repulsiveness of Ann Coulter. I was going to write another blog about her this morning but Dino already took care of that - shortly after he greeted the sunrise from his balcony, polished his hardwood floors, ran a marathon, did some landscaping and wrote a short story non-fiction in Italian. I envy morning people. The good news is that I can still do my Ann Coulter story because it differs from Dino's. The bad news is that I hate spending this much time on Ann Coulter. I'll justify it by saying this: if you don't educate yourself on EVERYTHING, especially people you disagree with, you will never have enough information to engage in meaningful dialogue or debate thus leaving increased opportunities for people like Ann Coulter to sound rational.

So by now we all know that Attentionwhore Coulter decided to do an impromptu stand-up act at the Conservative Political Action Conference and drop the new f-bomb (faggot is the new fuck) in reference to John Edwards. Sometimes I don’t think she even believes the shit that comes out of her mouth but it sure does keep her Palm Beach closet stocked with slinky black minidresses. It turns out that her latest rant might with withdrawing some cash from her bank account pushing back her adam's apple-reduction surgery to 2008:

At least three major companies want their ads pulled from Ann Coulter's Web site, following customer complaints. Verizon, Sallie Mae and Georgia-based NetBank each said they didn't know their ads were on AnnCoulter.com until they received the complaints. OOPS! Verizon, Sallie Mae and NetBank said the ads were put on a variety of sites by a third party company. Shouldn't someone be paying attention to this stuff? In many cases, advertisers do not know which sites feature their ads. "Per our policy, the networked Web site ad purchases are supposed to be stripped of certain kinds of Web sites," said a Verizon spokesperson. "This one could be considered an extreme political Web site, should be off the list, and now it is off the list." A Sallie Mae spokesperson said the company was only testing an online advertising agency, and that their ads were not meant to show up on Coulter's site. The company said they planned to pull ads from other political and religious Web sites as well. A spokesperson for NetBank said Coulter's page "is not the kind of site we want to be on." [source]

I wonder if those complaining consumer have some leftover paper to write to Paris Hilton’s merchandisers....or Perez Hilton's advertisers. That was the quickest case of consumer complaint action since Janet Jackson's nipple came out to watch the Superbowl.
