Not sure where to post - but has anyone seen Facebook "likes" of Rmoney by people you know hate him?

A couple of months ago my sister noticed on Facebook that our nephew, whom we know to be liberal, had supposedly "liked" Rmoney. I noticed just yesterday that my husband's FB page also says he "likes" Rmoney, when I know he loathes the ground upon which Rmoney slithers. Now my niece, the liberal sister of the aforementioned nephew, "likes" Rmoney. A friend from KS said it had also happened to her liberal friend.

What is going on?? Is Rmoney that desperate?

stronger stomach than I do and they want to mess with Robme bots' minds.

I think I'm also seeing some of that going on under the banner of "centrism" supposedly for Obama too. I usually watch it for a bit and then block it, when I get fed up with the bullshit games.

I keep trying (and failing) to leave FB. Crap like this makes me want to leave again.

and maybe make some comments in response to his status updates.

"Like" should probably be called "follow".

Michael Moore bought Halliburton stock, IIRC, in order to be on their info/mailing list, getting inside information.

Just today my Facebook said that I liked the page when I have never even went to his page. I was very upset. To even suggest I could support that look out for the rich jerk was a deep insult.
