BULLSHIT NRA ad HERE on DU

[Dirty Socialist]

An NRA ad appeared here on DU. It had a rifle superimposed on an assault weapon. The ad stated "If you ban one, you ban them all". Bullshit. For instance, We went for years banning fully automatic weapons while other guns were untouched. More fearmongering by one of the most untruthful extreme groups in America. What are their ads doing on here anyway?

1. The ads are bundled together and the admins don't choose them.

Also, for a small $$, you can eliminate them completely.

Jus' sayin...

10. And it means the NRA is funding Skinner and his commie friends

Now I'm going back to find that vid of the girl flipping off the Infowars guy.

3. I see you don't have a star.

12. I did not know about DU before Feb and do not know what a star means.

Also, I have tried to add the little animated emojis but they do not work for me. Do you need a star for that?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. You don't need a star to use the smilies. Those are for everybody.

And by smilies I mean the ones that are listed right above where you write your post. They're at the end and they are called smilies.

The star allows you to lose the ads, to do a DU search, to post a poll and to serve on MIRT, if you want.

4. Well, all blogs have profit motives.

It is not in our control.

5. pony up some bucks for a star and you won't have to see that trash

6. Who looks at ads?

7. DU is not PBS. "Also made possible by donors like you. Thank you".

8. I think OP's point is more about the NRA's BS ads, as it should be.

9. The color pic is of a shotgun.

I'm surprised the shadow pic isn't an Abrams tank.

11. The site has no control over which ads get shown

Ever notice the little star some of us have by our names?

13. The star will set you free

15. I believe you can inform the administrators.

I think they only have limited rights in choosing the ads but do have the ability to reject one that has come up.
