Inexplicable Edits on Sarah Palin's Facebook Page
Inexplicable Edits on Sarah Palin's Facebook Page
Sarah Palin has a reputation for being an agressive editor of comments on her Facebook page - a reputation that has always seemed likely accurate to me, given the tedious consistency with which all comments on the page are along the lines of "I love you SARAH!"

But in the wake of the terrible events in Arizona, with many commentators pointing out the obvious fact that Gabrielle Giffords had been targetted by Palin in the November election on a map that used a chilling gun site graphic, I thought it would be worth watching her page for a little while to see if her team were indeed deleting negative comments routinely. But I had no idea how incredibly, almost comically, efficient her people would turn out to be in deleting comments that were even slightly critical of the former Governor. And then I came across... well, what I guess you'd have to politely call an appalling example of editorial misjudgement at best.

Here's what I found, from a brief sample achieved by the simple expedient of hitting the refresh button repeatedly over a short period of time:

1. well, Sarah's improving the unemployment numbers
she has so many people fixing her Facebook page that there might even be a shortage of labor.

3. How horrible. This is allowed to remain on Palin's face book page.
Wow, there are some really hateful people on Palins face book page. Seems Palin attracts all the crazies. Look at his comment that Palin decided was A OK (which is the blogger's true intent for posting the different captured screens).

"It's ok. Christina Taylor Green was probably going to end up a left wing bleeding heart liberal anyway. Hey, as 'they' say, what would you do if you had the chance to kill Hitler as a kid? Exactly."

Sarah Palin thought this horrible comment was just too good to delete from her face book page.

I'll bet you Limpballs will be saying the same thing on his toxic show.

6. If you read the comments section in the link provided in the OP, you'll find
Palin suporters claiming that no one on the Palin team knew who Christina Taylor Green was and tht's why that comment wasn't deleted.

They always have an answer, no matter how ludicrous or repugnant.

4. Someone should start a facebook page on sarah where they can make comments on her without being
deleted. I don't have a interest in her. I wouldn't go on her facebook anyway.

7. A commenter there says that on FreeRepublikkk they were celebrating the shooting. If true, I wish
someone had screen-grabbed that and shared it with the M$M and all over the web.

10. Thanks. That was quite disturbing, but I do believe that it needs to be exposed. Has the M$M ever
acknowledged this massive hate group?

11. Not that I can remember but I had never checked out these
losers before. Seem mostly dumb but it's the smart ones to worry about. A DU member did PM me for the direct link to the page to turn over to DOJ. Peace R
