Facebook page prays for Obama's death.

[RandySF]

The anti-Obama hatefest on Facebook is not letting up one bit. Recently I discovered this page on Facebook with the following prayer. As of tonight it has over 400,000 supporters.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/DEAR-LORD-THIS-YEAR-YOU-TOOK-MY-FAVORITE-ACTOR-PATRICK-SWAYZIE-YOU-TOOK-MY-FAVORITE-ACTRESS-FARAH-FAWCETT-YOU-TOOK-MY-FAVORITE-SINGER-MICHAEL-JACKSON-I-JUST-WANTED-TO-LET-YOU-KNOW-MY-FAVORITE-PRESIDENT-IS-BARACK-OBAMA-AMEN/111712585523370?ref=ts

"DEAR LORD, THIS YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT IS BARACK OBAMA. AMEN"


I reported it to the FB administrators but so far no action has been taken.

1. I about lost it when

my son's Mother-in-law posted that she was a fan of that FB page. Another proud member of the misinformed floats to the top.

2. You know what gets me the most?

George Bush left this country in shreds. He ballooned the deficit, trampled
over the Constitution, illegally spied on us, took away Habeas Corpus, bankrupted
our country with a lie-based war and wrecked the economy.

Where were these fools and their Facebook pages when Bush was weedwacking our
nation with his monkey-boy Presidency? I'll tell you where they were...cheerleading
Bush and rationalizing and justifying every crappy move and policy.

And now look at their indignant cries and raging anger for Obama! Suddenly, those
who were silent for Bush's REAL crimes are now loudmouths for Obama's phantom crimes--
such as "Socialism" and "a government takeover of healthcare" and "skyrocketing
deficits."

These buffoons were nowhere to be found when Bush was engaging in real atrocities--before
our very eyes---but now these same idiots can't screech and wail loud enough about
bizarre allegations and lies that have nothing to do with reality. Disappear
when real crimes happen and show up and protest things that aren't real.

The idiocy...it's blinding!!!!!!!!!!!

9. FaceBook finally stopped this group!!!!

A small spark of decency.

[CoffeeCat]

16. That's good to hear...

...and such a bummer that there are so many low-life people, in this
country, who would sign up for such a group in the first place.

[Political Tiger]

20. Unfortuantely not, it's still there and open. n/t

[WolverineDG]

21. If they did, it wasn't for long

I just reported them AGAIN for racist/hate speech.

3. And how puke-worthy is it that they made it into a PRAYER?

scummy

[Amonester]

4. Well, there still are US Secret Service phone numbers...

At the link in my sig.

If FB admins take no action, that is (I doubt they won't).

[buff2]

5. I reported it

But since it's not the King George Bush,they probably will ignore the whole thing. :argh:

[ohheckyeah]

7. They probably won't do anything

because it's not a threat.

Yeah, I know.

[zbdent]

10. but a joke about a "burning bush" will get you a few years in the pokey ...

[ohheckyeah]

15. Yeah, I know. It sucks. n/t

[ohheckyeah]

6. Oh, gheesh..

I just addressed this on another message board. Of course the poster (at the other board) is hiding behind freedom of speech and claiming I have no sense of humor.

[chollybocker]

8. How many more times is this facebook garbage going to be promoted on DU?

Give us a f*cking break.

[Naturyl]

11. They misspelled the name of their "favorite" actor.

But you know, in the spirit of their little prayer, I think all 400,000 of them are my favorite people...

[SemiCharmedQuark]

12. Who cares? Consider it an Asshole-Magnet and move on.

Look at those smiling dipshits who pop up on the fan page...they all look alike-fat, old, white teabaggers. The median age on that group looks to be about 50.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. No problem. You canot petition the lord with prayer.

When I was back there in
seminary school
There was a person there
Who put forth the proposition
That you can petition the Lord
with prayer
Petition the Lord with prayer
Petition the Lord with prayer
You cannot petition the Lord
with prayer

14. LOL. One of that fan's other groups:

"we can find 1,000,000 people who don't believe in evolution befor (sic) June"

[Shell Beau]

17. I've seen that often, and I find it disgusting.

[dccrossman]

18. Unfriended a few people based on this

Despite my dislike for 'W', I never actively wished for his death, even as humor, as this page claims to be.

[scheming daemons]

19. Since prayer is a completely useless and pointless exercise.... no big deal

Prayer is talking to oneself... nothing more, nothing less.
