Why do I keep seeing ads for Matt Blunt on DU?!
Doesnt' DU have any say over what ads get posted here?

Matt Blunt is a conservative Republican. (not that his web site makes that obviouse. Almost as if he was ashamed of it)

Ok rant over.

1. Are you aware that you can turn off ads?
Check profile options.

4. It wasn't havign ads that bothered me
but specific ads for republicans.

Yes, I know I can turn off all ads. But that wasn't the point.

3. Matt Blunt's ad campaign by buying the ad is giving money to support DU
So when I see these right winger ads, I just smile.

6. does make one wonder a bit....
it's against DU policy to not support a dem in the crunch of elections and always see the pugs as the greatest of enemies, but it's okay to advertise for repugs if cash flow, or whatever, is the bottom line?

I've seen Greens here take a beating for not being 'democratic'. But can they have their ads here?

I'm thoroughly confused.
