I thought she was in prison for voter fraud.

1. I recently discovered that you can get rid of those...
It's easy...Just click on the X and it will allow you to make them go away...

6. I Always Tag the Repiglickin As as "Misleading" or "Offensive"
Edited on Mon Nov-22-10 05:24 PM by AndyTiedye
Coulter's face certainly rates as "Offensive".

She'd do well cast as the "Wicked Witch of the West" in the Wizard of Oz.

9. I do that too
but I click them first because they stop after X number of clicks. I make them waste a click on me.

2. You probably have a cookie on your computer that indicates...
that you are politically aware and therefore would be a good customer for Anne Coulter products.

4. Theres some kind of adblocker program you can use if you have Firefox that will get rid of all

banner ads. I installed it on recommendation from some DU'er and it cleared my browsing window right up. Might also want to keep your cookies and other temp files cleared, and regularly check for spyware. You don't want the KarlRove.exe virus inside your system tracking your every move.

11. More Like Because the Conservatives Have Enough $MONEY$ To Saturate Every Media Outlet
The Supreme Court opened the floodgates with the "Citizens United" ruling.
