Facebook Deletes Member Pages Over Gadsden Flag (RUMOR)

Facebook has sensationally banned the official Alex Jones Facebook page after a customer services representative admitted that all material containing images of the famous Gadsden flag was being deleted by the social networking giant.

Not confirmed as of now. I suppose the best way to find out is to post a Gadsden flag on Facebook!

[Moonmad27]

For Facebook’s sake they’d better not — if these guys are on FB — mess with that biker bunch who passed me yesterday on the LA freeway - all with the American flag and the Gadsden flag on their motorcycles! As for me I deactivated my account after it was hacked.

“I use the Gadsden flag as my profile pic because I heard that it pi$$es off some people”

Perhaps, I know Old Glory really rattles quite a few!

[timetostand]

I have posted the Gadsden flag with the header “Facebook bans patriots for displaying Gadsden flag! We shall see!

[DTogo]

Same here, and to follow some of the mainstream Conservatives I listed who have active pages and regularly advertise post there. Laura’s got a lot of great photos of herself on the road, as do Michelle and Sarah.

I just put in an order with my favorite flag dealer... FlyMoreFlags.com (they're conservative and support the troops)

I wonder if Facebook's getting rid of the Culpepper Minute Men and Gonzales flags, too.

Facebook has sensationally banned the official Alex Jones Facebook page...

I just checked and that page is still there, at that, I use it often to help identify and weed out the nuts off my friends list (any mutual friends with Jones are gone unless they are family).

Well, I don’t know how many people it will piss off, but if there’s anything to this story, I’d like to know. I updated my profile pic today...we’ll see!

[mnehring]

..another confirmation this is a bogus rumor, I just checked my friends list and at least a dozen have the Gadsden as their profile pic.

These type of rumors about Facebook pop up all the time and so far none seem to have been true. I think they are just ploys to drive attention to another page (such as spreading a rumor about Alex Jones’ page being removed there to drive up searches for his page.)

I also posted it to my fb page as soon as I read

That was late yesterday...it’s still there...thus far...

Yep, Jones is an idiot and no friend to Conservatives.

[Borges]

Pretty quick with the ‘evil’ aren’t you?

[Drill Thrawl]

Alex Jones is a truther. That’s all one need know.

[icwhatudo]

"What caused Limbaugh to order the material removed? Our guess is that he was probably bombarded with e mails from the legions of virulently retarded Neo-Cons that make up the audience of phony right-wing websites like Free Republic, on which all Alex Jones material is aggressively banned."

-From Alex Jones website "Prison Planet"

[napscoordinator]

I doubt highly this is true.

[gunnyg]

yeh!

[RC2]

People need to understand that anything that reflects our countrys history, makes you a radical. There needs to be another outfit that can come up with a, some what, copy of Facebook but from a conservative point of view.

[napscoordinator]

No because if you had read others on this site. They have Facebook pages with the flag and it is still on the Facebook page. Before you start trouble why not see if it is true first and also check out the idiot who wrote this trash story first.

[napscoordinator]

Oh Brother...they do it is called Free Republic. lol. So you want a site that has conservatives only. So the liberal family member is banned from joining? Facebook is fine....it is this story that is crap! Remember how people will knock down anything that is successful.
