Question?...How come NewsMax continually pops up all over Liberal Sites?

Rather new to computer and political sites........Are they paying for this intrusion? I swear to God if I see one more of those Bad Obama facial shots followed by a poll concerning his “honesty,”, Benghazi or overall job performance, I’m gonna take sledgehammer and find out where the fuck their home office is..

It will cost the assholes money and you can close the screen as soon as it opens. If every single member of DU and other liberal sites would click them it might hurt their budget.

Their web site is chock full of woo.

Periodically, the word goes out to their "faithful" to spam message boards with their "message," using deception to get in, of course.

to pop up all over. Upthread is a good suggestion, click on the ad, make them pay Google for that click, and then close it out immediately.

Adblock Plus for your browser. I have it, and I never have to see another annoying ad from them or while I'm viewing YouTube videos ever again.
