Facebook blocked Fox News Radio’s Todd Starnes after he posted a message on his fan page supporting the National Rifle Association, Paula Deen and Jesus. He was also prevented from posting a daily Bible verse on the page.
“I’m about as politically incorrect as you can get,” Starnes wrote on his Facebook page. “I’m wearing an NRA ball cap, eating a Chick-fil-A sandwich, reading a Paula Deen cookbook and sipping a 20-ounce sweet tea while sitting in my Cracker Barrel rocking chair with the Gather Vocal Band singing ‘Jesus Saves’ on the stereo and a Gideon’s Bible in my pocket. Yes sir, I’m politically incorrect and happy as a june bug.”
The post generated hundreds of comments and went viral. But Facebook said what Starnes wrote violated their policies.ban1
“We removed this from Facebook because it violates our Community Standards,” Facebook wrote in a message to Starnes. “So you’re temporarily blocked from using this feature.”
For the time being, Starnes has been blocked from his fan page as well as his personal page. He was also prevented from posting a daily Bible verse called “Morning Glory – Start Your Day Inspired.”
Starnes is the host of Fox News & Commentary – a daily radio commentary heard on hundreds of stations around the nation.
SNIP
UPDATE: Facebook has now apologized for removing the posting and blocking Starnes.
“A member of our team accidentally removed something you posted on Facebook,” read a statement from Facebook. “This was a mistake, and we sincerely apologize for this error.”

Conservatives need to get the heck off of Facebook, is the lesson.
What’s a “facebook?”
“accidentally removed”
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
Facebook is the tip of the spear for a totalitarian state.
Facebook sincerely apologizes for this terror.
Well, that’s something...
I dunno. I post a lot of very conservative articles on Facebook that I find on FR. I've never had a problem.
Yeah, we bet, Suckerberg, you slimy piece of sh7t. Anyone who knows the story of your success knows what a scumbag you are
exactly.
“Conservatives need to get the heck off of Facebook, is the lesson.”
Facebook is the bastion of the low information voter. I’ve tried posting conservative links and sentiments and it’s met with crickets chirping. My “friends” are overwhelmingly Marxist, I’ve learned. Facebook unexpectedly ostracized this conservative.
We must be doing enough because we're still here.
I still have a Photobucket account although I don't intend to give them any more money. I've had a lot of political images removed that someone didn't like.

Once this was called American. Now it is called the Enemy.
Most of my messages are from other conservatives. I learn a lot on there. Some people just like to complain. One message I really love is from Godvine. That site has wonderful videos. Jim and others from here even posts messages.
I LOVE it! That’s a keeper!.
I de-active my profile in 2009. I reactivated it some months later on request from some friends(we’ve moved to different states so FB and email are how we contact each other now).
Wow! I love it!
I dumped facebook last year.
Why willingly help a lib corporation???
