Facebook Censors Political Content!

Critical Remarks Removed
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer posted some critical remarks on Facebook regarding Obama's latest attempt to give backdoor AMNESTY to ILLEGAL aliens. OK, so far so good. But then, apparently someone at Facebook did not like those remarks and summarily removed Brewer's content from her web page.

Obama Violates the Law AGAIN!
So let's get this straight. Obama decides not to deport ILLEGAL aliens because they are deemed "no threat" even though they broke the law to get here and are taking jobs away from US citizens! This is a violation of existing immigration laws. Shouldn't someone be pointing this out to Americans? Obama swore an oath on the Bible to obey and defend those laws and the US Constitution. Now he chooses not to so he can get the Hispanic vote in the coming election. How's that for transparency!

No Free Speech at Facebook
What's wrong with saying whatever you may think about that situation? The first Amendment guarantees freedom to say whatever you want in this country. Facebook said that it "mistakenly removed a post" in which Arizona Governor Jan Brewer criticized Obama's decision to stop deporting ILLEGAL aliens. "Mistakenly?" Are you buying this explanation? We're NOT! Facebook explained in an email to Brewer that her posting was removed because it contained an illustration that violated Facebook standards. No other details were given.

However, when The Associated Press (AP) confronted Facebook about their blatant political censorship, their spokesperson Andrew Noyes emailed AP that Brewer's post was removed "in error and that Facebook was sorry." Keep in mind, that Governor Brewer never received this explanation or apology. This SMELLS LIKE A DEAD FISH!

The "Offensive Illustration"
It turns out that the so-call offending illustration was nothing more than a drawing of Jan Brewer in a "Rosie the Riveter pose with the headline "Doing the Job the Feds Won't Do." On a side note, this drawing has been posted on Brewer's Facebook page several times before without any repercussions. SO Why THIS TIME?

Apparently someone at Facebook didn't like the criticism and they took the initiative to take it down. Was this a rogue act, or is this the new policy at Facebook? Either way, better watch out if you use Facebook - Big Brother is watching and may do the same to your remarks!
