All significant corporate and organizational advertisers, with the exception of one, have now pulled ads from www.anncoulter.com. This was the result of a successful advertiser awareness campaign launched on DKos, which then snowballed throughout the progressive blogosphere.
In an article published on right-wing propaganda outlet Cybercast News Service entitled Bloggers Celebrate Ann Coulter Backlash
Coulter had this reaction:
In an e-mail to Cybercast News Service Tuesday Coulter stated that she did not feel threatened by the anti-ad campaign and that it would not prevent her from airing her opinions.
Coulter indicated she laughed when she found out about the liberal campaign and joked that it has taken the bloggers so long to act. "It takes the left a little longer to realize they've been insulted," she said. "In about 20 minutes they'll realize that sentence was an insult."

PROGRESSIVE BLOGOSPHERE SLOW TO REACT????
Coulter has hardly ever written or spoken (or plagiarized) anything that couldn't be shredded into scraps of disinformation with a five minute visit to Google.
True to form, Coulter ignores reality (and truth, of course) in a lame and high-schoolish attempt to mock the progressive blogosphere for being slow to react. Just to set the record straight, Coultergeist, here's the timeline:
-In less than 36 hours from the time of Coulter's hate speech incident at the CPAC Conference on the evening of March 2nd, the advertiser awareness campaign was launched on DKos and started spreading across the progressive blogosphere.
-By Monday evening, March 5th, about 60 hours after the CPAC dinner, CNN was announcing three major advertisers were pulling ads on www.anncoulter.com.
-By Tuesday, March 6th advertisers were bailing from her site faster than rats fleeing a sinking ship.
-As of Wednesday, March 7th, all major advertisers with the exception of Amazon had said "sayonara" to Ann Coulter. The remaining ads were basically "scraps" hawking such important commodities as Vicodin through an offshore pharmacy.
So there you have it, Coultergeist. The progressive blogosphere reacted at warp speed. Seems like it was Coultergeist who was slow to respond.
It's a great thing Coulter plans to continue airing her opinions, although we would hope she can figure out a way to do so in the future without resorting to hate speech.
Keep talkin' Annie! Every time you open that noxious piehole and spew forth your vile verbal flatulence, you send a few more moderate Republicans and Independents into the welcoming arms of the Democratic Party.
