Advertisers Abandon Ann Coulter After Anti-Gay Remarks

More and more advertisers are abandoning homophobic right-wing columnist Ann Coulter after she referred to Senator John Edwards as a "faggot" during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference last week.

"I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards," Coulter said.

Net Bank, Verizon, Washington Mutual, AT&T/Cingular, Dollar Rent-A-Car, SmileTrain.org, University of Phoenix, Sallie Mae, LasikPlus, Power Chord Academy, Gulf Shores.com/Alabama Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau, Ulta.com, and Yellow Pages.com have now all stopped advertising at Coulter's web site.

Coulter has also earlier showed her disgust towards gay people by using gay slur to insult people. Last July she called Al Gore "a total fag".
