Advertising Stripped from Ann Coulter’s Site

Woah... that was fierce!

I checked in at Daily Kos today, and happened upon an entry where people were posting about who was pulling ads from the conservative Republican Anne Coulter’s site. The diary isn’t fully updated, as it shows several companies as still rotating ads, but noted in the comments is that there ain’t crap for ads on the inflamatory pundit’s site. It’s quite an entertaining read.

A check for myself revealed this:

Kinda bare, except for those you would expect. Oooo.... I can get Bill O’Reilley’s Culture Warrior and two other conservative books for only a freakin’ buck? Wow...

Ad code is still in her site’s header, and similar code is in the sidebar, but nothing is getting served:

<!-- Primary ad code ROS, 468x60 Banner (Above Fold) -->

<!-- Primary ad code ROS, 468x60 Banner (Above Fold) -->
<!-- (c) 2005 INTERMARKETS, INC. -->

So her ad network, Intermarkets, has punted her. There’s also one for Google AdSense, but it isn’t showing anything either. The only one that’s still there is a box of text ads from AdBright.

I’m sure that she’ll just blow all of this off next time she sits down with her bud Sean Hannity. And I bet she’s calling all those advertisers that pulled their ads stuff like ‘wuss’ — except the word probably starts with an F.

I don’t see this as much of a victory, really, since the people that love her hate-mongering haven’t changed their tune. That’s a real problem that calling a few advertisers won’t fix.
