The pocketbook is where it hurts the most

Interesting. The backlash from Coulter's "faggot" comment at this years CPAC seems to be maintaining its head of steam. A group of right-wing bloggers has written CPAC sponsors, asking them not to invite Coulter back next year. With the amount of publicity her slur has generated, perhaps this will show whether the old "there's no such thing as bad publicity" adage will hold true.

Possibly more importantly is the fact that three companies have pulled their advertising from Coulter's website in response to her attack on Edwards. From CNN:

At least three major companies want their ads pulled from Ann Coulter's Web site, following customer complaints about the right-wing commentator referring to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a "faggot."

Verizon, Sallie Mae and Georgia-based NetBank each said they didn't know their ads were on AnnCoulter.com until they received the complaints.
