I find it funny that there are Republicon ads on DU.
Just pulled up the front page and it said donate to Beohner to make him speaker of the house and stop the Pelosi reign. Talk about poor market research. I wonder if a Pelosi ad is in freeperland? Doubt it.

1. Sometimes these sites don't have control of the ads.
One of my favorite science sites has a bunch of ads for snake oil miracle cures. Drives me nuts to see em there but I know ScienceDaily isn't endorsing them.

2. The advertisers are targeting their audiences, and
as it turns out, a lot of DU readers (especially the ones who don't donate, thus meaning you have to see the ads) are RWers.

Donate as little as $5 or $10 and the ads disappear.

3. I have donated but I guess enough time has lapsed since.

5. A star lasts a year, I'm pretty sure.

4. That is for the benefit of the trolls in GD
Especially the long-term ones.
