1. You can alert the admins that it's here..
And you can (if you want, of course, or can afford it) buy a star. That enables you to block the ads.

4. Email the management
Here is the link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/contact.html

Google ads are based on keywords. DU cannot filter all ads in advance because they are not prognosticators. Help them out by informing them of the ad and it will be blocked.

5. Can we get a sticky for this sort of thing?
Not attacking you, Robin, but there are at least 4-5 of these threads a week. I think it'd be helpful to post something like: "The ads on DU come from a separate server. If you see an anti-dem ad, please alert an admin and we'll have it dealt with. Thank you."

6. Shouldn't you be writing this to the admins?
It's not in the hands of us regular DUers.

7. Because her spending is robotic, and doomed.
"Welcome, new sponsor! We hope your Google Ad impressions here are frequent, expensive, and that you can't comprehend click-through-rate or conversions per click."

8. It's on this page in 3 different places.
I've seen the ad. It is despicably misogynist.

9. Google adsense picks up keywords and puts what it wants here.
I'm surprised we aren't inundated with NRA and teabagger ads.

16. Actualy, now that I think of it, let them spend their money here. It won't buy any votes.
