2. .
I guess you mean the ads by Google.
Yeah, hard to have control on them for the Admins. I think they are generated depending on the content of the threads or site.

3. Bastards, but at least we get their money...
Blackwell was advertising on Air America Radio here in Ohio over the past few weeks too. I thought that people didn't listen to progressive talk???

:sarcasm:

6. in the mean time Freeps get a good giggle

8. The admins CAN block it, but they have to be watching for 'em
Google has a "competitive ads filter," and now that democratssuck.com has had an ad appear, Skinner knows about it and can add their name to the "blocked" list. Google serves the ads based upon the content it finds on the page, so it isn't surprising these will get by every now and then. The best thing to do would be to click on the ads, because the advertiser PAYS PER CLICK, and DU makes money off each click, too. What's the worst that can happen? Are you afraid you might buy one of their t-shirts or something?

10. Anyone can block Google ads
Mozilla Firefox and the Greasemonkey extension can block/hide ALL Google ads.

Just sayin'.

11. Who cares? Let Republicans waste money on worthless ads.

I really doubt anyone's going to be on here and cross the aisle due to it.
