1. There's a way to alert on that, isn't there? I'm going to check it out.
Edited on Sun Apr-18-10 09:49 AM by babylonsister
And if someone could post this on FB to get it alerted on, I'd sign up in a heartbeat. Not too good at that stuff, but I did just alert, I think.

5. There is a link
It gives you a dropdown to choose from, listing specific violations of FB's terms of service. I thought of selecting "inciting violence" (or whatever the wording was), but the page doesn't do that directly, so I settled for "hate speech" instead.

Hard to know if the FB admins will agree.

4. They are trying to make it sound like a joke, but it is offensive to me.
You can report it.

7. Ew.
I hope those people somehow get to explain themselves to the Secret Service. Yes, I know the nice folks in the Treasury Department have a lot of issues to deal with that are bigger than these freakazoids, but those posters are sicksicksick.

8. You get back three times that which you wish onto others.
Be careful what you ask for.

9. We will need a few hundred more reports on this, so I hope people
will report it and tell us that they did so.

10. This same "prayer" was written back in Feb. with the last line being about Ahmadinejad:
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
Dear Lord

I received this email today:


Dear Lord



This last year you took away my favorite singer,


MICHAEL JACKSON,


my favorite actor,


PATRICK SWAYZE


and my favorite actress,


FARRAH FAWCETT.

I did a search and found this:


Let me remind you



that my favorite politician is


MAHMOUD AHMEDINEJAD.



Please don't forget!



Thank you very much!

11. I reported it. I cannot believe how many fans they have....172K people wish for the death of our
President? I loathed, despised bush, but I never wished for his death - all I ever wanted was to see him behind bars.

22. Then the teachers' union owes...
Christie an apology.

It's a dumb line to use on any politician, Democrat or Republican.

15. They linked to this thread on their FB group page...
It states:

"The socialist idiots now have two threads on their forum, to try and destroy this group. They are reporting the group to FB administrators.

Make a name on their forum, and let them have it. You will get banned pretty quick, but just use a different email, and make another name. They want to attack this group, make it at their forum's expense."


Of course, we're all socialist idiots because we don't wish death upon our President...I reported the page as inciting violence.

23. My brother's stepdaughter has joined this group
My brother and his whole "new" family (he has very little to do with the sons from his "old" family--probably because both are smart, hard-working, and responsible) are repug tea baggers, and the second wife & her kids have become very religious in recent years. Anyway, I knew my step-niece wasn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but she has surpassed even my very low expectations. She joins these hate groups while posting about how much she loves the Lord . . . :eyes:
