that says, "Barack Obama's dead fly". I clicked on it and I don't even want to say what it was. Let me just say it was an open holy book with feces and bacon on it.
This woman goes to church all the time. She goes to prayer meetings and healing services.
I wrote to her that it was disgusting and wrong and that she should take it off. I also said it was the type of thing that incites violence.
I'm still shaking.
EDIT: I just found out how to submit a link to FB. I submitted it for "Hate speech"

(114,904 posts)Normally, I wouldn't suggest defriending someone but this is so egregiously awful and hateful that perhaps, for your own sake, you should.
Sorry this happened to you.

(11,304 posts)the christain way. I also would defriend her. Especially if she knows your a Obama supporter. It's one thing to disagree about politics but this is over the line.

(13,461 posts)I'm glad you told her the truth about it.
I think people on the right think that Christianity IS hating President Obama at this point, along with gays, Muslims, non-Christians....HATE. They have no idea how vile their words are now that the extremists have taken over so many Churches in this country and the people are just turning over any critical thinking abilities to those they view as "in charge" of their "side".
I keep wondering why being easily brain-washed seems to be such an ingrained trait in so many? It turns people that would otherwise be decent into virtual monsters.

(1 post)I read this post about how a christian woman clicked LIKE re dead flys picture of the Koran with bacon etc. well ! we will just call it what it was "poop" defacing the Koran.
I did the same thing as she did!
My story is this- It was early morning
and instead of clicking comment I clicked LIKE by mistake.
I actually never even saw the poop because it was the same color as the Koran-
but to be called out on it really isnt fair in the first place.
Isnt Facebook for expression Its all ok as it is freedom of speech.
If someone does not like what they read or see on Facebook the easiest way to change that is to RESTRICT them from access to your page why come here and cry about free speech. But you like it when its your turn to speak out- we call that freedom.
This election has abused everyone in America and we are all stressed to its highest point. So chill out!
