Facebook is demonetizing the Christian, political satire page “The Babylon Bee” after they published an article satirizing Sen. Mazie Hirono’s comments during the Amy Coney Barrett hearings in a fictional depiction.

The Bee’s CEO Seth Dillon announced the demonetization on Tuesday in a tweet, claiming that the big tech company pulled down the article based on a “regurgitated joke from a Monty Python movie.”

“So after a manual review, Facebook says they stand by their decision to pull down this article and demonetize our page. I’m not kidding,” he wrote. “They say this article ‘incites violence.’ It’s literally a regurgitated joke from a Monty Python movie!”...

Almost sounds like a BB headline.

Facebook rules for October 2020: One does not mock or lampoon Democrats, even when they are making a mockery of themselves.

Forward to John Cleese. He HATES this kind of thing and already beat the BBC into submission over some of the classic Monty Python skits. I think it might be fun to watch him skewer these idiots.

BabyBee will have a Charlie Hebdo moment and again Obamunists will applaud the slaughter of satirists.

The only people who can reign Twitter in is their advertisers. If they were to see real impact on their corporate images they would force Twitter to stop their censorship of free speech like this. Here’s the list of the top 10 advertisers

Nestle
Verizon
Disney
Kraft Heinz
Unilever
Kellogg
GlaxoSmithKline
The Penny Hoarder
Comcast
CVS

Wow just unreal. I knew the left was completely devoid of any sense of humor, but seriously? Inciting violence? Stating that Hieono wants to weigh ACB against a duck and burn her as a witch is not something ANYaoNE took seriously. To quote their POTUS candida, “C’mon man!”

I hope all those FB Nazis are killed by an attacking rabbit. I fart in their general direction.

I tried to instant message a link to the Duck article to a friend over Facebook IM. It came up as “Forbidden”. They are literally a joke.

Zuckerberg is such a freaking loser and dork. Billions to one’s name can’t by class and character.

If you’re on F-cebook, you’ve literally taken the Mark of the Beast.

Make amends, confess, whatever you have to do to save your mortal soul.

Now, click on the link to the (Whore of) Babylon Bee article, and click on every ad.

Drive some evil revenue without letting Satan skim off the top over at Deathbook.
