Verizon And Other Advertisers Pulling Ads From Ann Coulter's Website

Some huge advertising accounts are pulling their ads from Ann Coulter's website in the wake of her antiGay slur and outrageous attacks on John Edwards this past weekend. One of the biggest is Verizon, and a large bank and another business are following in pulling their ads as well. Verizon reportedly has a company policy not to advertise on extremist political websites, and Coulter's site apparently violates this standard as being written by a political extremist and appealing to extremists.

Coulter's hateful language regarding all Muslims, weekend slur against Gay citizens, and features appearing in HUMAN EVENTS that seemed to nearly condone violence against a U.S. Senator, as well as wishing a U.S. Supreme Court Justice a heart attack, are apparently the last straw for large companies such as Verizon who are pulling the plug on advertising on such political extremist websites as Coulter's.

There simply is no moral justification for political extremists who seem to nearly condone violence against public officials or use widespread slurs to attack all Muslims and Gay Americans. Verizon is morally right to pull the plug on Couter's website. Reactionary thuggery like Coulter's offensive dribble doesn't deserve the support of the business community.
