Defriended on Facebook

I was defriended on Facebook today. Reason given was that my republishing of negative Obama articles was causing this person extreme duress.

Some of my younger closed-minded relatives de-friended me because I suggested they read various arti9cles criticizing LIB/moonbat ideas. Such is life. Maybe some day they will apologize when they are living in a dumpster(aka: nobama condo) some day.

Watching this recent episode of South Park (which BLASTED facebook) should help. :o)

You have 0 friends

[Let's Roll]

They should be apologizing to us.

I’ve defriended people who posted smug, annoying liberal claptrap. I log on to Facebook for fun and relaxation, not to read a bunch of intolerant liberal gloating. One thing about Facebook, it does show you which of your friends and acquaintances are conservative and which liberal.

It happens in the opposite order, too. I had my sister’s comments blocked for quite some time because she’s a flaming libtard.

[Revolting cat!]

Your relative King Lear had it worse, Shanda.

RE: “Badge of honor.

My husband defriended one of his high school friends because he got tired of the pro-Obama spewing by this person. I don’t think her feelings were hurt too much. :-) “

Agree, badge of honor. I beat them to the punch by deleting ALL of my former school mates from the sixties — apparently they have all become leftists over time but then, we WERE in CA back in the day so I guess they could not resist the leftist teachings even so long ago. Somehow I came out of it unscathed and ‘on the right.’

I hear that a few of the UNfriended ones are a little miffed, but too bad — they are not now nor were they ever really FRIENDS, but classmates. I have taken on more FB like-minded ‘friends’ now and enjoy daily comments with many about all the topics posted.

"My husband defriended one of his high school friends because he got tired of the pro-Obama spewing by this person. I don’t think her feelings were hurt..."

I'd be more concerned that your husband has high school females for his friends ;-)

I was threatened with being defriended once but I told the person that if they felt that way then go ahead. I have completely civil conversations with very liberal people all the time. I don’t compromise but if nothing else in the end we agree to disagree. Leslie Marshall, the radio host, for example is someone I enjoy debating with we seldom agree but I enjoy it. I like her as a person. I’d never vote for her though. If someone wants to be small then why should I care. I’ve had conservative here be extremely small trying to get people kicked for disagreeing with them. I can say I’ve never tried to do that ever and I’ve never felt the need to de-friend someone. I would if someone was being consistently inappropriate/vulgar/obscene or spamming my wall otherwise I am not offended by different opinions. God knows I’m not afraid to strike out alone based upon what I believe to be true.

I’ve heard this from other Facebookers. Liberals are very intolerant.

[fish hawk]

Big deal! My own liberal granddaughter barred me from any contact with her. AND, she really is my granddaughter. LOL

[toddausauras]

I’m surrounded by liberals and boy, have they lost it politically. I mean, we’re talking no intellectual honesty at all. If you want to enrage them point out the facts and they go ballistic.

[ladyvet]

Your not alone. I have been disowned by two liberal siblings.

[richmwill]

As others have said- they must have not been a good friend. Sorry if you’re feeling snubbed by them, but don’t worry- new friends come and take their place.

[murron]

I got news for you. My son also got defriended on Facebook for the same reason. This wasn’t just any friend, though. It was his sister.

I had to block one of my old high school friends for all the idiotic postings he kept putting on his wall. An actual post:

"Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh r all trying too drive this country back to the days of Jim Crowe.....Better known as the "tea party" Don't be fooled people cast your vote in November. Don't be silent and sit on the the sidelines."

I just got tired of arguing with him all the time. He simply refused to listen to logic.

Another classmate "defriended" me because she couldn't tolerate the truth about Obamacare. She kept drinking the Kool Aid.

I have “de-friend” several of my left of center relatives until after the election. After the election I will ask them to be my friend again so I can gloat. Am I 12 or what?

I don’t do politics on Facebook (my band’s account)because I dont know the leanings of our fans there. There is one person who is constantly sounding Democrat talking points and it’s REALLY HARD not to rebut him, but I take a lesson from the Dixie Chinks and don’t piss off half my audience.

[Yaelle]

I can’t think of a single close friend that supports Obama.

Far more than 51% of my friends do or did. Sigh. I made a lot of friends back in my youth, and so many of them went Hollywood liberal. This is probably true for every conservative in L.A.

...a good way to snake out Commies and idiots.
