The faux activist group One Million Moms has just disappeared from Facebook, by far its largest social media outlet. Earlier today administrators of the One Million Moms Facebook site posted a “warning” about Green Lantern being rebooted as gay, which they quickly pulled when over one hundred pro-gay comments flooded the post. Subsequently, they wrote a Facebook post stating they would be away for a week, possibly next week, for bible camp.

Then, sometime on the past two hours, the One Million Moms Facebook page disappeared.

It is unclear if the page was taken down by One Million Moms, or by their parent organization, the certified anti-gay hate group, American Family Association, or by Facebook.

The One Million Moms website still has a link posted to their One Million Moms Facebook page as of this writing.

1. Good. Maybe it was pulled by Facebook. That would be best. n/t

2. There are many Green Lanterns,there wouldn't be any need to reboot.

They would just need to recruit a new member that happens to be gay.

3. One Million Moms is just one angry mom that can't juggle...

...moderating her Facebook page along with hiding her kid(s) from reality. So, it's off to bible camp!

4. "...the page was taken down by One Million Moms,

or by their parent organization, the... American Family Association...."

Never heard that connection before; now confirmed. Audit their asses off, all thirty-twelve of them. Vile cheating beasts.

6. Subsequently, they wrote a Facebook post stating they would be away for a week....

..... possibly next week, for bible camp."

All one million of them?

That's a lot of port-a-potties for that camp

[complain jane]

26. Yep

all million of them (I think it's a couple thousand) are just going to pop off for a random week at the drop of a hat for Bible study soon maybe next week or something not sure.

Asshats.

7. Good. Didn't we do a mass alert on Facebook on those idiots?

9. Maybe it was Anonymous? nt

11. This was mostly due to the folks at Reddit...

mostly due to these two sub-reddits:

http://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/ufqi1/til_the_american_family_association_one_million/

http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/ug3pw/one_million_moms_has_had_its_facebook_page_removed/


I believe that it was taken down by Facebook itself due to ToS violations due to hate speech, etc. (brought to their attention by people at Reddit)


I post with the same user name there..please don't hold my colourful language & opinions against me!

Folks aren't as nice there as they are here & I got into a few arguments with numerous right-wing trolls, lol!

15. Don't apologize

It's better to state your state your opinion, and be crucified, than to be honest, and renig...You are entitled to your opinion...thank-you vets, it's a freedom many don't appreciate.!!!

20. Better blatant than latent. nt

[Wait Wut]

22. I don't think it's in the DU TOS...

...that we can ban people for being potty mouths on other sites. If it's hidden in Skinnerspeak somewhere, I'm doomed.

Edit: Welcome to DU!

[canuckledragger]

32. Thanks..I've been part of DU for at least a year or 2 now though..

I just attempt to post with a little more forethought & offer soemthing useful...(which is the reason for the low post count)

But sometimes my snarky nature gets the best of me!

23. The second Reddit link says

They hide their facebook page any time they get negative media coverage. Then gives a link to the last time did it. http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/pg6rq/ellen_degeneres_responds_to_antigay_one_million/c3p59wt

12. Maybe they really are attending Bible School -- all one million of them at once.

Any excuse to get the kids out of the house!

[progressoid]

13. For Bible Camp?

Right, and the dog ate our kid's homework too.

[WriteWrong]

14. Their goal? One million moms, one dad.

[secondwind]

16. They've gone underground!

[complain jane]

27. All six of them!

[tanyev]

17. Not with a bang but a whimper.

[madrchsod]

18. they went off line because of bible camp

this was tweeted 20 hours ago. these people do`t give up that easily

[Scuba]

19. I would hope Facebook pulled this hate group.

[Quantess]

21. I'm gonna miss One Million Moms.

They had the opposite effect of their intentions, nearly every single time.

[complain jane]

28. Ha ha ha ha!

[pinboy3niner]

31. Don't worry--they'll be back. But I think we're gonna need...

...a bigger milk carton.

[jtuck004]

24. All 10 of them? (leverage - it's the new thing <G>) n/t

[pinboy3niner]

25. Former SC Gov. Mark Sanford says, "Bible Camp! ...

...Why didn't I think of that instead of 'hiking the Appalachian Trail'?

I just got through going through my morning news reading and read the above article. Then I checked DU and saw this.
Of course I also read another DU post slamming Facebook.

It could have been Facebook that pulled it though.
