Here are a few of the posts courtesy of Addicting Info:
This led the folks over at Crooks and Liars to ask the obvious question:
Someone needs a visit from the Secret Service. I'd like to know why this hasn't been taken down yet.
The page has over 1,300 likes from conservatives who seem to have no problem with threats against the duly elected leader of our country.
President Obama is the most threatened president in American history, and for that reason alone this page should be shut down.
I thought it was unpatriotic to criticize a sitting president?
ReplyDeleteAnd criminal to advocate "hanging" him.
DeleteIt is. I was very disappointed that a movie was made about killing George W. Bush, and that it got so much praise. We should ALL at least respect the office.
Deletewhat movie was that? I saw the Michael Moore movie about 9/11, But even then, folks still respected the office and President bush gave him the benefit of doubt.
DeleteYou misunderstood.
DeleteIt is unpatriotic to criticize a sitting REPUBLICAN president.
Likewise it is patriotic to threaten a Democratic one.
They're just doing their patriotic duty as they understand it.
My understanding is that websites, FB pages, Twitter feeds, etc., like this and others are monitored and scrutinized and investigated. For the FBI and SS, keywords are your friend. If there are arrests they won't be publicized unless the group has a large following that would be influenced by a government intervention.
ReplyDeleteWhy hasn't Facebook shut it down? You telling me this doesn't violate some user policy they have?
DeleteOf course it violates their policy. But if the SS and FBI are trying to find the source of the site, they would likely ask FB to maintain the page (and certainly have all the metadata behind it) so they can track the owner(s) and get to them. Assuming it's a US owner.
DeleteTo shut it down would simply confirm their conspiracy theories and hatred. I couldn't finish reading them; they are insane.
ReplyDeleteBest to leave it up and read what they are posting. If they DO something, that's a different story. With a site, they can blow off steam.
Just another reason that I deleted my Facebook account in 2010; it's a free-for-all of hate and disgustingness and shouldn't be supported by anyone. Big Brother has always been a threat ever since George Orwell wrote 1984...guess what, it's here and it's called Facebook. To give one man, one company so much power over the social interaction of both the real (and fake) masses is inexcusable and this monster should have never been able to grow such lengthy tentacles. Friends don't let friends Facebook...my husband and some of his family engage in it and are always trying to get others to engage as if it's some sort of religion, which for them it seems to be. I don't get it, but I don't understand religion either.
ReplyDeleteI never joined FB but am in Twitter. However, I find it less and less interesting except for breaking news.
Delete+1,000 There's no need to expose oneself to this grab bag that stores your thoughts, opinions, and "ideas" forever. Orwellian is right.
DeleteITS THE DEVIL! (sorry I don't have a sarcasm font)
DeleteI also never joined Facebook. I took a wait and see and as time went by there were way too many privacy issues so I decided I didn't need it. I don't do LinkedIn, Twitter, Imgr, Pinterest or any of the other social media. There is way too much data mining and release of personal information and way too lax security.
DeleteAnd to be honest. I don't miss them at all.
I had a Facebook account for a while. A SHORT while. I dropped it very quickly when I discovered three things.
DeleteFirst, the hatred, lies and despicable intolerance eagerly displayed by those I considered my "friends" when it came to President Obama. (When I quit, I sent a message to all those on my list explaining how disgusting their postings were and how ignorant. Some still don't talk with me when we meet. Break my heart. BOO HOO.)
Second, When I discovered how much garbage I got in my personal email account that could ONLY have come from Facebook "selling" my address.
And third, when they deliberately changed my email address of record in my personal info section WITHOUT MY CONSENT!
I wouldn't go back to Facebook under ANY circumstances.
as a rule i fukin' hate facebook - besides serving as a vehicle for dipshits like this ..
ReplyDeleteA student of Latin here--the reasons they give for the "fall" of the empire are beyond laughable.
ReplyDeleteBut why am I surprised? "Don't know much about history...don't know much biology....don't know much about the French I took....don't know much about a science book..."
Why is this not the right wing theme song? Why was it not played proudly, at top volume, at the Values Voter Conference??

I'm not a student of Latin, and I thought the same thing. Their reasons pretty much ignore the makeup of the external forces against Roman Empire, and they don't seem to understand that the Roman Empire was pagan (religion!), not Christian (religion!), for the bulk of its existence (say, 300bc - 450ad).
DeleteDidn't Rome absorb and adopt the religions and cultures of the people they conquered? I thought that was one of their strengths. That they didn't so much conquer as annex. (Well, except for the Jews.)
DeleteAnd that also led to their downfall since Caesar's exposure to Egypt led to him adopting their concept of Pharaoh and considering himself a God. Something subsequent Caesars adopted. Then the Republic became a dictatorship for life, then the Senate was pretty much abolished and the office became hereditary rather than elected.
Then there was the whole subcontracting out of the military. Like we've been doing with all sorts of military services. Soon we won't have a military. It will all be privatized and eventually we'll hire soldiers from other countries to "defend" us.
And of course, falling under the weight of an overextended government without an efficient communication system.
Then there's their math. Roman numerals aren't very convenient for higher math.
Or was I not paying attention in High School history class?
haha they are being invaded by goats.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Someone flunked Latin, and read the comic book version of "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," important for its sourcing, but not its conclusions.
ReplyDeleteI have met people like this who are insanely irrational about our president. They are so un-selfaware they don’t even know how racist they sound. I recently asked someone why she didn’t like the president and the response had nothing to do with policy or even politics. It was straight up a racist rant. I am not surprised by this FB post in the least. We live among really nutty people.
ReplyDeleteMy sisters don't like him because he's 'arrogant.' Yet they adore Beck, Rush, and Trump. Both needed the ACA, but refuse to admit it's saving their lives. Both have pre-existing conditions and are either self-employed or work for small offices.
DeleteOnly one votes, and if you call her out on anything, she acts like a two year old. She hasn't spoken to me in three years. That is the divisiveness of the GOP. Hate and distrust anyone who denies the lies they are fed.
My next door neighbor is a confirmed birther. When I asked him about the "birth certificate" POTUS handed out, he called it a fake. When I asked him "So what?" he went nuts. When I pointed out to him that the ONLY authorities to verify if a candidate was a citizen was the state in which they were born and the Federal Election Commission (with the assistance of the other agencies as needed), he didn't believe me. Flat refused to accept the information. I laughed and walked out. My visitor from Sweden laughed and left as well. Even SHE knew he was stupid.
DeleteOne of my highly educated (?) Facebook friends is constantly going on about impeaching President Obama. No reasons given; just that. Her other posts are straight out of Brietbart and FOX. BTW, she is a big fan of Dr. Carson. I can't believe it, but there it is. The website quoted in this thread is not a surprise. Unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteAnd does she know that in his earlier years Ben Carson took a hammer to his mother, stabbed a friend over the choice of a radio station and seriously injured another friend in the head? The GOP wants this clown to be in charge of the nuclear button?
DeleteThese people are pathetic, it burns their ass that when he leaves office, He will go down as one of the best Presidents in History. So they try to get their digs in now.
ReplyDeleteWHEN A TRUE GENIUS APPEARS IN THE WORLD YOU WILL KNOW HIM BY THIS SIGN: THAT ALL THE DUNCES ARE IN A CONFEDERACY AGAINST HIM---JONATHAN SWIFT
Thanks Sarah Palin for setting the tone for the ignorant unhinged of the country you lowlife sleeze.
ReplyDeleteWhat I find absolutely stunning is how the Fox News crowd scream about the importance of preserving their "heritage" while questioning "what good will come" of minority children learning how their people overcame the death and destruction caused by American "culture/heritage".
ReplyDeleteWhat good?! How about learning the truth about why they look the way they do, where their people came from, how they got to where they are, and that they come from something good instead of the negative stereotypes that society has forced upon them?
Of course it reveals that American "heritage" is all about using irrational and made-up fears of a minority uprising to justify wiping them out. It sickens me how they are attempting to whitewash and rewrite the bitter truth about the inhumanity of their violent and atrocious path through a forced superiority.
For some reason, even though they've done bad things to other cultures all around the world (in the name of Christianity), they don't want to actually admit that they were/are the "bad guys".
Sports as a problem - HELLO - where is football and NASCAR a religion (hint, it isn't the NORTH, but the uber conservative south as in Friday Night Lights. Doofuses.
ReplyDeleteI bet that those haters pretend to be "christians", and "patriots".
ReplyDeleteSo what's the difference between your hate blog and theirs?
ReplyDeleteNo one here is suggesting Palin be arrested, convicted and hanged.
DeleteAre you really this stupid?
Are you fucking kidding? You are kidding, yes? To get me to ask you how have you put your head so far up your ass, right? How did you do it? Did you use that new Hate Blog Lubricant that we've been hearing so much about? Or did you just say 'fuckit' and take the plunge? And after you rammed your head up your ass, I'm curious, could you see Russia from out of your navel, you fuckin blockhead?
