Facebook Threatens to Shut Down Conservative Site
“Chicks on the Right,” a popular conservative website, could lose its Facebook community after posting a critical message about the White House press secretary that allegedly violated the social networking site’s standards.
The controversy involves a posting on their Facebook fan page that referred readers to a website posting titled, “You Know What? Liberal Hypocrisy is Starting to Cause Me Actual Physical Pain.”
“Jay Carney can kiss my assular area,” wrote Mockarena, who runs the website with Daisy, a medical writer and adjunct professor of communications.

Facebook Threatens to Shut Down Conservative Site
Not to denigrate *The Chicks* or Todd Starnes, but I have to ask; are you people as far out there in *STOOPID LAND* as you sound?
It’s a sad day when people that are thought to be Conservative leaders, BLOGGING for the RIGHT reasons and doing it the RIGHT way all of a sudden start crying like a butt hurt Libber that was caught in a lie when they get their hands slapped by Facebook.
Listen folks, I know you’ve heard of The First Amendment;
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Please try to grasp and understand that one *Chicks* and Mr. Starnes; its content is very much a huge part of everything we, as bloggers, do and/or say.
If YOU are posting on YOUR blog, you can say pretty much say anything you want to say, and if your post isn’t making a threat of violence or death against someone, you can generally get by with it; IF you are posting on a Blog or page that YOU OWN!
If you are using ANY type of FREE service they will likely have a set of rules that they want followed and the owners and/or management of that FREE service is the final authority of what gets posted on THEIR service through THEIR server.
A prime example is a person using a blog from Google, a *Blogger* blog if you will.
You, through YOUR use of that blogging platform, agree to follow any and all rules that are set by Google and Blogger, and here’s why they can delete a post or an entire blog if they so desire; it’s THEIR server, it’s THEIR service and they ALLOW you to use it FOR FREE.
You get what you pay for!
Facebook is a FREE SERVICE. Facebook is populated by a massive number of Libbers and the ownership and management are leaning so far to the LEFT it’s a wonder they don’t all fall down; that is a well known FACT.
In any case; it’s FACEBOOK, it’s FREE, it’s THEIR server and THEIR domain, and it’s also THEIR rules. This is how those rules work; it’s their ball, their bat, you play by their rules or they ram the bat up your ass. Even a Caveman can grasp that concept.
Facebook is one of the best syndication methods I use to help promote this blog, and I have, so far, had NO problems with Facebook, but if they cut me off tomorrow all I can do is work harder to get my stories and opinions out there.
If you don’t like Facebook, don’t use Facebook. If you have an account on Facebook and you become unhappy with the way THEY manage THEIR FREE SERVICE; leave, close your account and never be bothered by Facebook again.
Facebook is NOT violating any persons RIGHT to FREE SPEECH; your right to free and relatively uninhibited speech only applies to YOU when YOU are posting on YOUR site, one that YOU own.
Deal with it and stop your damned whining!

And people wonder why I’m not on Facebook — ?
Let me count the ways. . .
Nothing like taking power and GIVING it to other people who are Leftists.

Be that as it may, Facebook is STILL the BEST syndication you can get… You cultivate the Conservatives and build your audience, and if FB banns you for being *too American*, no big deal, you have used the *useful idiots* to YOUR advantage and to that of the Conservative side!
You have friends on FB that follow you faithfully, and if you miss a day or 2, they call or email and check on you, you just overlook the assholes that RUN the place…
Facebook has some very strange ideas. Criticize Obama and you can be banned. Criticize the UN and you can be banned. Call for the genocide of the Jews and they applaud your efforts.
Free services always come with a catch. Just as the folks at Gates of Vienna. Blog was put under review for anti-Islamic rhetoric. They have moved. So sorry blogger.
Well what do you know: Facebook Apologies for Threatening Conservative “Chicks”.. AFTER FOX News got involved…
I still say Facebook is a FREE site, they can do anything they want to do and that is their right, but in this instance FB actually got it right…
I am not a member of this.
PERIOD
It’s NOT for everyone, but it works very well for me, has really helped make the blog a success…
I feel the same way about Facebook. I don’t particularly like it, but I have used it with good success to publicize my blog.
It’s Facebook’s website and service. Go there you play by their rules. Like Fred said you can use them as useful idiots, and prosper. I don’t really do a lot there due to op/sec for a couple children as well as personal reasons for not being all that open about where I am and such.
But really, it is like that driver that got “lost” and went into Mexico with a truckload of ammo. Guess what? It’s their country so play by their rules…
Sorta reminds me of a dipshit that I arrested once that whined about the sentence that the Judge handed him ( He got off light, real light, one year county and five years probation with the firearm allegation lifted and dropped from first degree robbery to Second.) and cried racism when he should have been sent to Folsom or Soledad Central for five to life! Anyways, mimicking others I said to him; “If you can’t do the time then don’t do the crime.”
And yes Fred, that was the one that I told you about, and that I could never be a Peace Officer in today’s PC world without getting me or my department sued big time. Seems that “Drop it Nigger or I will blow your ass out from under that wool!” isn’t proper arrest procedure in a one on one felony hook up these days… I still love 870′s!
Unfortunately many of these so called services come with a bait and switch attitude. Just because one has a private domain does not insure our freedom of speech by a long shot IMO.
I have to disagree, to a point… The only way I am getting censored is if the whole ‘net gets shut down, or my wife tells me to shut-up…
