BLOG POSTS with the TAG: "Facebook"

Good Evening Everyone,

I find it necessary to share something that I experienced only minutes ago on Facebook. In an attempt to get the word out, I tried to post a link to a national petition in opposition of government-run health care.

I was met with a notification informing me that I could not post it because the content was considered abusive. Yep; you read that right … “abusive”.

A simple request for people to sign a petition if they oppose government-run health care was censored by Facebook. I used no profanity or derogatory comments of any kind, yet I am not allowed to post a petition on MY profile page.

It has begun people. The attempt to silence us is underway. So much for the 1st Amendment!

With more than 875,000 fans following her political commentary closely on Facebook, Sarah Palin trails only President Barack Obama as the most popular politician on the social networking site. She has gained 60,000 new followers since we reported her soaring popularity exactly four weeks ago today. Amazingly, she is expanding her high-profile posture in political debates armed only with a notebook computer and an Internet connection.

Palin has used her Facebook page to comment on health care, energy policy, and tort reform. She’s also highlighted other causes, such the celebration of Constitution Day and the commemoration of the eighth anniversary of the 911 terrorist attacks.

Sarah Palin’s Facebook page has gained more than 300,000 new supporters in the last two months. She gained over 100,000 of these in the last week. As of this writing, she has over 800,000 supporters.

This soaring trend is likely due to the fact that Palin is using Facebook as a podium. Armed with only a notebook computer and an Internet connection, she is arguably communicating her messages more effectively than President Obama with vast millions of tax payer dollars at his resolute disposal for enormous marketing campaigns.

She’s recently posted op-eds on hot topics such as federal stimulus programs, Cap and Trade, America’s use of foreign oil, and, of course, health care reform. When she referred to ObamaCare’s end-of-life counseling as “death panels” and labeled the system itself as “downright evil”, she got the attention of the White House. President Barack Obama and Press Secretary Robert Gibbs have both (derisively) mentioned her comments.
