Conservative Google ads on DU piss me off.

1. I don't think we can do anything about them

[Jamastiene]

4. Yes, you can.

Check Post #3.

I was so happy when I found that little nugget of sanity in Options.
:)

6. Other than that I mean

7. Oh, yeah, I see.

Maybe someone could send an email to Skinner here on DU and see if he can adjust some preferences somewhere on Google Ads to stop conservative ads on DU. He may have that optioin, although I am not certain.

At the bottom, it says, "Display Google Ads?"
Click No

5. You ought to hear the one running on the "progressive" xm-sirius

channel.... For some dvd/book that purports to show how Obama is destroying the world... I PAY for XM and have to listen to this BS on the ONLY progressive talk channel they have. It pisses the shit out of me, but I'm pre-payed for another year, so there's nothing I can do.

9. Me too.

I heard it on a trip this past week and it really torqued my jaws. I pay for this crap? :mad:

10. This issue comes up here at DU with unfailing regularity.

The ads pay the bills here. Gotta say I don't pay attention to any of them and it's pretty unlikely that many here at DU will "Click Here" and "Tell Obama to Oppose Big Labor's Card Check".

11. hate em too, wish I could be donor again

LOL

12. They make me laugh

Conservative groups paying *money* to help support DU! And every time you click on one of these ads, the conservative group will lose more money!

13. Firefox with Adblock

No ads anywhere ever.

14. Adblock rocks.

I love it. You can even block individual pictures. I am currently using TinEye and Adblock together to "erase" any pictures(and variations/size etc.) I see of Bush and Cheney. Reagan's next, unless Skeletor keeps popping up too much and I decide to block him first. :evilgrin:
