Companies turn on right-wing ranter Coulter

At least three major companies want their ads pulled from Ann Coulter's website, following customer complaints about the right-wing commentator referring to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a "faggot." See the clip here. Now Verizon, Sallie Mae and Georgia-based NetBank each say they want their ads, which were placed on Coulter's site by a third party without their knowledge, removed. According to Joe Solmonese Coulter's bigotry is big business for Universal Press Syndicate because it sells her column to 100 papers, and he urges people to protest here. (Via CNN.com)
