Facebook Approved “Kill Mitt Romney” Page
Freedom Outpost ^ | August 27, 2012 | Tim Brown

Posted on 09/14/2012 7:41:19 AM PDT by TBP

Apparently, Facebook approved a “Kill Mitt Romney” page that was put up and left up over 17 days. I pointed out that Twitter followed a similar example in the George Zimmerman case a few months ago.

The description for the page indicates its purpose, which is a directly threat on the life of Mitt Romney stating,

“This is a page advocating the murder of Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney.”

What’s even more disturbing is the page had 30 likes!

“Kill Facebook” is doing alright, 26 members, but not easy to join.

Probably because no body really wants to join anything that says “Kill”, including me.

Now if it was to say “Defriend Facebook Day” I think you will see numbers double fast;)

Headline should read: “Facebook advocates assassination of Presidential candidates who don't share their socialist views”, it would be closer to what they're thinking in their pointy little heads. Leftist f!@#$ all of them.

I’d bet that as soon as the first “like” appeared, FB got a call from the FBI telling them to leave the page up for a few days and forward the info on all the “likes.”

Seems like an easy way to gather the names of some people who should be investigated as potential threats to the next President of the United States.

Seriously, what are the chances that the Secret Service or FBI haven’t checked them out already? I’d say about zero.

Facebook should have been priced at 11-15.00 per share,
based on current earnings. Anyone could replace it in a few months.

30 likes is basically none. Did anybody bother to hit the complaint button? FB is very stimulus response, you can put all kinds of crazy stuff on there as long as nobody complains.

If pressed, I'd prolly vote for All, actually.

But I'm old-ish, so that's to be expected, most likely.

Social Media is a must these days. You will not get a job without being on LinkedIn for instance. Employers think that if you are avoiding it then you have something to hide.

Have a look at my profile .. I am my (ostensible ;-) employer .. at least until such time as that putrid marxist maggØt destroys what's left of our economy.

The silly phenomenon is prolly with us for the foreseeable future, but:

Twitter (or whatever) behind the wheel > license suspension

Twitter (or whatever) on my time > unpaid day off
