Sales have been great this year for Crayola, so they wanted to thank the group that surpassed the 4-7 year old sales demographic.

Recently, a new page popped up on Facebook that sparked attention and has drawn over 1.5million fans. The title of the page is “DEAR LORD, THIS YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT IS BARACK OBAMA. AMEN”.
(*NOTE* This is the actual title of the page, not a typo on our part. Smart people know that Swayze, Fawcett, and Jackson all died LAST year, not this year)

Some are supporting the page saying it is their 1st Amendment Right and they are only expressing their freedom of speech. But others have cited Facebook’s TOS Policy that forbids “hate groups”. Since the message on this page is clear, you would think that it in fact violates Facebook’s rules. But no!

According to ABCNews, Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes said in a statement that though the anti-Obama page “may be considered distasteful and objectionable to some,” it doesn’t violate Facebook’s policies.

So since Facebook has now said that this isn’t a violation, we decided to see of this would hold true for making our own page.

We tried to create a page titled:
“DEAR LORD, LAST YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PUBLIC SPEAKER IS SARAH PALIN. AMEN”

But to our surprise, that contains a word or phrase that is blocked. So do they prohibit saying anything bad about public speakers while it’s OK to say something about the president?

Here’s the screen shots of what happened:

We have also tried several variations changing the named person and or their description, all with the same results. One thing to point out though, we managed to start a page using Nancy Pelosi’s name. Since it was in poor taste we immediately deleted it.

A counter page has been set up calling for Facebook to remove the original death page. Here is the link

*UPDATE*
Since we first started watching this story, we’ve been watching the comments coming through the original page. This was posted a little while ago:

So Facebook says this group doesn’t violate their “hate” policy?

Let’s play a game, shall we? The name of the game is called “Imagine.” The way it’s played is simple: we’ll envision recent happenings in the news, but then change them up a bit. Instead of envisioning white people as the main actors in the scenes we’ll conjure - the ones who are driving the action - we’ll envision black folks or other people of color instead. The object of the game is to imagine the public reaction to the events or incidents, if the main actors were of color, rather than white. Whoever gains the most insight into the workings of race in America, at the end of the game, wins.

So let’s begin.

Imagine that hundreds of black protesters were to descend upon Washington DC and Northern Virginia, just a few miles from the Capitol and White House, armed with AK-47s, assorted handguns, and ammunition. And imagine that some of these protesters —the black protesters — spoke of the need for political revolution, and possibly even armed conflict in the event that laws they didn’t like were enforced by the government? Would these protester — these black protesters with guns — be seen as brave defenders of the Second Amendment, or would they be viewed by most whites as a danger to the republic? What if they were Arab-Americans? Because, after all, that’s what happened recently when white gun enthusiasts descended upon the nation’s capital, arms in hand, and verbally announced their readiness to make war on the country’s political leaders if the need arose.

In discussing the current tension between the Obama administration and the Israeli government (of which Hannity does not approve), Hannity pitched Lt. Col. North a standard, almost rhetorical question on his program: “Is President Obama emboldening America’s enemies?” North responded with a scathing critique of President Obama’s foreign policy:

“This president is willing to be obsequious to our adversaries, to denigrate our allies, and essentially to walk away from the only real democracy in that part of the world. And no one can say he’s big on oil, because he’s not in the oil business, so what is it? It is his core philosophy of being anti-American.”

*NOTE* Lt. Col. Oliver North is a triple felon. He received 3 felony convictions for his role in the 1980s Iran-Contra scandal, So I guess if anyone knows about being unAmerican, it’s this guy.
