Politically active liberal Mark Zuckerbergs Facebook is now blocking Republican candidates from his social media website Facebook in the GOPs bid to retake control of the U.S. Senate in November. Facebook deleted late Monday night an Event this author created to ask for donations to Kevin Wade, running for U.S. Senate as a Republican in Delaware from his 4,937 Facebook friends.
Freshman Democrat U.S. Senator Chris Coons is up for re-election this fall. His approval rating was only at 49% a year ago in September 2013 according to a University of Delaware poll. The year since that 49% approval last September has been extremely bad politically for Democrats, and Coons is in far more trouble than the political class has yet discovered. (The 2010 election was a special election for the last 4 years of Joe Bidens U.S. Senate seat.)
So adding Delaware to the roster of States that Democrats must defend all at once could increase Republican chances across the country of retaking control of the U.S. Senate. But that means Kevin Wade needs to scramble to raise at least a million dollars through September.
Monday night, Facebook deleted the Event this author created: KEVIN WADE: Don't Hope for Change: Vote for It: $25 from 3,000 for US Senate, Delaware, Republican, by August 20 FEC reporting deadline. The common function routinely used by liberals allows a user to invite his own friends (in Facebook terminology) to join in ones Event. Asking other friends to donate to a cause or a candidate is widely accepted and practiced
but apparently not for Republicans. The Event was deleted, meaning that this authors over 4,937 Facebook friends will not receive this authors personal invitation for them to donate to Kevin Wade.

So post it again.
Gee... how very Nazi of Mr. Zuckerberg...
The Democrats have taken over the schools, they have taken over the government, they have taken over the main stream media, and now they have taken over social media. What’s to worry about, according to many here on FR, there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans.
‘Do whatever it f’n takes.’
“The Democrats have taken over the schools, they have taken over the government, they have taken over the main stream media, and now they have taken over social media.”
True.
“Whats to worry about, according to many here on FR, there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans.”
There isn’t that much difference.
I call them socialist networking sites because they are.
Not all views are tolerated. Not even all peaceful views are tolerated nor are all calls for violence deleted.
It’s one thing for someone with a group page under FB to be making such a decision, it’s another thing for the host site to be making biased decisions.
