Palin's Facebook mods remove criticism but leave one celebrating the murder of a 9 year-old:

"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."

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. So she is leaving freeper comments on the page!?

Wow, her stupid facebook fans are saying the exact same shit that the murder did about liberals. I hope the FBI is taking notes.

[frazzled]

Yikes

I guess they agreed it was okay that a future liberal was eliminated. I am just so sad and disgusted today. At everything.

[jillan]

2. I cannot believe that someone would actually write that in the first place.

WTF is wrong with these people?????

[Arrowhead2k1]

3. Gotta keep those "negative" comments flowing.

Keep the fuckers busy.

[bluestateguy]

4. Maybe just a mocking taunt from a critic on our side?

Or then again, maybe it's the real thing. Disturbing.

[Kurovski]

5. K&R. Good record. (nt)

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

6. and wonder what congress will do Monday? And Hate Radio will continue on.

will they show this FB page and the other DU thread with all of the hate
posters, bumper stickers etc.

Hate Radio is 90% or more of all radio and it has reach.

[madmax]

7. No words - just tears for Christina

and those sensely murdered. :cry:

[pokerfan]

8. An endorsement

or at the very least, tacit approval.

[emulatorloo]

9. Sounds like the FBI needs to pay that person a visit

What a horrible thing to say.

[Quantess]

10. Nauseating.

[Kablooie]

11. Truly horrible people follow the right wing and the Republicans love it.

[Kievan Rus]

12. Proof that listening to hate radio 24/7 rots your soul

What a sick nutjob.

What's even more ironic is that she was born on 9/11/2001. This idiot wingnut is saying pretty much what a lot of Jihadists said about the victims in the World Trade Center.

All that separates wingnuts from al-Qaeda is 10,000 miles, and that the former grossly misinterprets the Bible, while the latter grossly misinterprets the Qur'an.

13. comments scrubbed after 2 seconds. She must have a full time crew hitting the delete button on her

site. You should start a Palin scrubb archive on DU so
this stuff can be referenced when/she declares her candidacy.

[onehandle]

14. That's how she'll distance herself from it. 'It's my staff's responsibility.' nt
