Facebook Removes Post About Rancher Bundy
FOX News Radio ^ | April 17, 2014 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 04/17/2014 6:34:29 AM PDT by george76

landed in the Facebook gulag when I tried to post our daily Bible verse.

...

Now before you call up the preacher had put me on the church prayer list – let me assure the posting was neither unseemly nor ungentlemanly.

Nevertheless, it caused great consternation and angst among Facebook’s left-wing censors. Following is the egregious text:

“Rancher Bundy should’ve told the feds that those were Mexican cows – who came across the border illegally to seek better grazing opportunities. It was an act of love.”

Thousands of you posted comments and many more shared that message. It’s now gone — blotted out by anonymous redactors.

I reached out to Facebook to find out which part of the message violated their standards. Never heard back. I suspect I should’ve used the term “illegal alien cows.”

It’s not the first time my postings have been bleeped by the Facebook Purge Police. Heck, I’m a serial offender. I’ve been banished, blocked and censored for writing about Chick-fil-A, God, the Bible, Paula Deen, Cracker Barrel rocking chairs, sweet tea, Jesus, the Gaither Vocal Band, the Gideons, the National Rifle Association and June Bugs.

I'd go for "Undocumented migrant cows".

It wasn’t a post about Bundy, but “Mexican cows” that the FB censors flagged.

Act like you're enjoying it - that always pisses 'em off.

Sorry, but being on facebook is tantamount to admitting that one’s IQ is just slightly below that of the Obamadork...if that is indeed possible.

Congratulations! You know you are on the right track when you get censored for smacking the left around with whit and style.

Some of the most intelligent FR posters are on Facebook.

I’m not carrying Facebook’s water. It has problems.

But your premise has a very basic flaw.

Well, hell, I'll just copy and paste it on my FB page and see what happens.

It is my goal to force Facebook to permanently ban me.

I reposted the offending quote.

Well your comment has found a good home here.

And Bundy's supporters should have all claimed to be illegal aliens looking for work on Bundy's farm. The goons would have put their guns down and gone home immediately. One thing the BLM is deathly afraid of doing is offending an illegal alien. They have laid out their version of the red carpet for the illegal aliens near the border.

how "uncivilized" of me..I've used "Cows/Sows"; as an apt description of
pregnant wetback/illegal moms-to-be "droppin' 'em citizens" on this side
of the border to collect all the feds' & states' "bennies" use to buy their
illegal votes.. those are the facts, I used to live in TX @ aTm.

Does Facebook have an “open forum”? I don’t facebook. If they do, and they censure it, then they’re just an update of CompuServe/aol....and that gave rise to Free Republic, iirc.

If they don’t, and they’re just randomly hacking people’s personal conversations on inane things like cows, then we need JR to write the software for a new Free Republic FaceTime. If they were cutting of racist or violent posts, then fine. But...cows?

What does facebook do that FR doesn’t already do? Just curious.

"a good graphic, says a thousand words in a few second"
that's concise/short and to the point!

Reaches more people...and more people that are not conservative.

Yes it can be, but I've found it very good for connecting with old friends and classmates. For that, I'm grateful.

I mean nuts and bolts do, not accomplish do.

What important services do they offer that FR doesn’t?
