Ok I have it working now.
I used the star hack and set the right and left columns to display: none
Incase anyone else wants to use this.
In your CSS file sheet
Add the star
* html
then your rule.
Like this:
* html #TallLeft {display: none}
IE6 sees the star but the other browsers don't.
My page still looks good to IE6 without the columns and I don't need to continue to test and retest to get the columns to line up correctly...they are just gone in IE6.
