2. Why not accept ad money from right-wingers on a "take their money & kick 'em in the ass" basis?
From our point of view, it's money well wasted on their part.

4. Thanks. I don't get the objections.
Are some folks so delicate that they can't bear to see a Republican ad?

5. Delicate?
I'll take that. I've never been called delicate before that I can remember. And I work for Republicans, from whom I take my well-earned money to support progressive websites and causes. I've never been on DU EVER and saw it advertising for Rick Perry. Made me want to vomit. Delicately, of course. ;-)

6. Then click it like it's hot

The Perry Campaign has to pay Google and DU for every time a user clicks his ad.

In other FYI news, Google Adwords are based on keywords and search terms and the system is automated. DU cannot predict ads before they happen. When you see an ad that you find does not jive with the spirit of DU, send a message to the administrators and it will be removed.

EDITED - for formatting and typos and general spelling suckage.
