But many conservatives say the social media giant, now with more than 900 million users, appears to be punishing them with warnings and bans for sharing links and posting comments, causing many to wonder if the site is employing a double standard on the content that is posted there.

The page displays a cartoon caricature of Palin holding a pistol to her head while claiming that it does not advocate assassinating the former governor.

Additionally, the page "likes" similarly-named pages targeting prominent figures like Ann Coulter, Pat Robertson, Rep. Michele Bachmann and former GOP Congressman Ron Paul.

According to Pundit Press, the page even attacked Barack Obama, calling him a "conservative."

In April 2011, one poster at the site, a 54-year-old Marine veteran, expressed a desire to see Palin dead...

“On Monday, a post at Pundit Press reported that the “I hate it when I wake up and Sarah Palin is still alive” Facebook page has gathered over 3,300 members. But many conservatives say the social media giant, now with more than 900 million users.”

That means that a whopping 0.000003666% of Facebook users hate Sarah Palin.

I think that makes her the most popular person in the world.

I have not received any warnings on Facebook about my posts. Ask the people here at FreeRepublic that on Facebook. Has the FreeRepublic page been limited in anyway? I am not aware of any.

I found the fb page and reported it. There were different reasons to check- inciting violence and something to do with suicide. I checked the violence one for all the good it did.

Someome should start a Mark Zuckerberg site complete with the same type pistol pointed at his head. I bet he would move to have it censored, saying it incited violence against him.

Facebook destroys your privacy! I’m not the only conservative who says that!!

http://1389blog.com/2013/01/28/facebook-and-instagram-threaten-your-privacy/

Facebook STINKS!!!! If you’re not on Facebook don’t get on it! If you’re on Facebook, get off it and remove all your information from it as best you can.

Phooey!!!!

That’s like saying “just look on the Internet” or some such. Sorry, but it sounds like you can’t back up your claim.

No, the page is called, “I love it when I wake up in the morning and Obama is still president.”

Gag.

I did not say internet, I said facebook.
Good grief, just do a search, it’s just not that hard, to find the same sort of page.
