Facebook blocked Fox News Radio’s Todd Starnes after he posted a message on his fan page supporting the National Rifle Association, Paula Deen and Jesus. He was also prevented from posting a daily Bible verse on the page.
“I’m about as politically incorrect as you can get,” Starnes wrote on his Facebook page. “I’m wearing an NRA ball cap, eating a Chick-fil-A sandwich, reading a Paula Deen cookbook and sipping a 20-ounce sweet tea while sitting in my Cracker Barrel rocking chair with the Gather Vocal Band singing ‘Jesus Saves’ on the stereo and a Gideon’s Bible in my pocket. Yes sir, I’m politically incorrect and happy as a june bug.”
The post generated hundreds of comments and went viral. But Facebook said what Starnes wrote violated their policies.ban1
“We removed this from Facebook because it violates our Community Standards,” Facebook wrote in a message to Starnes. “So you’re temporarily blocked from using this feature.”
For the time being, Starnes has been blocked from his fan page as well as his personal page. He was also prevented from posting a daily Bible verse called “Morning Glory – Start Your Day Inspired.”
Starnes is the host of Fox News & Commentary – a daily radio commentary heard on hundreds of stations around the nation.

The Daily Bell has also been saying this for some times. Says that the revenue streams of both Google and FB do not jive with their income. Postulated that monies are coming in from the government(s).
Libs, Leftist’s, call ‘em what you will are cowardly bullies just like the punks we knew back in grade school. First sign of fight out of those they bully, and they cower. Push ‘em back, and push ‘em back hard.
Facebook (and Twitter) are the new “group mind” of the human mob. Since many conservatives consider these time wasters to be, well, a waste of time, the “group mind” is leftist. Leftists thrive on pushing their ignorant opinions on the rest of us, after all. Other than Gov. Palin, who on the right is using these weapons effectively? They are mostly leftist tools used to mainstream radical leftist propaganda and make it look like “people are saying that.....”. I applaud Gov. Palin for taking the enemy’s weapon and pointing it at them - I wish more on the right would do so, but I sure wouldn’t want to be the one to do it.
