Facebook Deletes Pro-Cliven Bundy Comments


Posted 3 hours ago by Gary DeMar Filed under 1st Amendment, Liberal Bullying, Liberalism, Media


The following offensive text was considered by someone at Facebook to be inappropriate. It was posted by Todd Starnes of Fox News:

“Rancher Bundy should’ve told the feds that those were Mexican cows – who came across the border illegally to seek better grazing opportunities. It was an act of love.”
 



Any late-night comedian would have delivered this line and got lots of laughs. It satirized all the liberal clichés about immigration and liberal double standards.

Apparently it was too much for the folks at Facebook. Starnes was told, “We removed the post below because it doesn’t follow the Facebook Community Standards.” Of course, he was never told what “standard” he had violated. This is classic liberalism.

Starnes went on to write, identifying the real sin against Facebook: getting out the message to a broader audience.

“Thousands of you posted comments and many more shared that message. It’s now gone — blotted out by anonymous redactors.

“I reached out to Facebook to find out which part of the message violated their standards. Never heard back. I suspect I should’ve used the term ‘illegal alien cows.’”

The king can’t be reproached in any way.

None of this should surprise us since that the BLM/Bundy standoff, the government put up "Free Speech Zones." These were the only places where the First Amendment applied.
 



Liberals can’t stand contrary thought. They are all about it when they are not in control of the process and means of expression. They use the First Amendment as a wedge to get in the door, and then once in the building they close it to shut out all competitive speech. It’s a common tactic. The Berkley “Free Speech Movement” is a classic example.

“In protests unprecedented in scope, students insisted that the university administration lift the ban of on-campus political activities and acknowledge the students’ right to free speech and academic freedom.”

It was a scam. They were using the free speech argument so they could sometime later block competitive speech, and they have been wildly successful.

Many colleges and universities have speech codes. Writing in Forbes, Greg Lukianoff, identifies the appalling course our nation’s schools have taken when it comes to free speech:

“We found that an appalling 62 percent of institutions surveyed maintain policies that restrict a substantial amount of speech protected under the First Amendment — what we call ‘red light’ speech codes. Such schools include Harvard, Columbia, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

*****

“Speech codes come in many forms. The University of North Dakota bans student speech that ‘feels offensive’ or ‘demeaning.’ The University of Missouri at St. Louis boasts a policy restricting speech that will ‘discredit the student body.’ Texas’ Sam Houston State University broadly prohibits ‘abusive, indecent, profane or vulgar language.’”

So what has been a mainstay of liberal bullying on college campuses is now affecting major social media companies. Much of this has to do with the fact that there has been almost a god-like allegiance to Barack Obama. His candidacy was viewed as messianic. The liberal utopia was about to dawn, and they had found their leader.

As a result liberals have done everything to protect him and his policies, and free speech, logic, and facts be damned.
