[release]The Facebook group accused of “praying” for President Barack Obama’s death is continuing to be controversial online and has now reached over 1 million members.
The group called, “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." currently has 1,172,263 members.
It has an album of anti-Obama photography uploaded by the members, including photos that show the president against a communist flag, photos with derogatory captions and cartoons that associate Obama to Hitler.
Another Facebook group, “Petition to remove Facebook group praying for President Obama’s death,” was created to protest the anti-Obama group and advocate for its removal and currently has 654,500 members. Its sole purpose is to “encourage Facebook to remove the page praying for the death of President Obama” by listing steps that members can take to do so.
Facebook’s terms of use claim that it bans all members from posting any content that may be “hateful, threatening, pornographic, or that contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.” As of now, Facebook has taken no action against the anti-Obama group.
This is not the first time Facebook has dealt with controversy over President Obama. In September 2009, many users complained after discovering a Facebook poll that weighed whether President Obama should be killed.[/release]

They're praying for a dark cause.

Hahaha they are SO witty! I've never heard that joke before!
I can't stand Obama, but I would prefer to see him just not win reelection.
Asking for his death is going a bit far. People like this just reflect badly on all of the normal conservatives of the world.

Why? It isn't like the group is really that bad, it's just another generic group of conservatives who wanna cry about obama together.

You're getting Bullets confused with HeadOn, a grave mistake to make.

There's 300 million people in this country, I'm surprised such a small percentage of them are stupid and crazy enough to sign up for that.

Actually a million people is still a lot, considering not everyone in the US is on facebook, and even then getting more than a few hundred into a single group is a huge task.
And not every American is the country is on facebook
Farrah Fawcett is the favourite actress of 1 million people? Really? She never really did anything outside of [i]Charlie's Angels[/i]!

That's the first thing I thought while reading it.
I hate Obama so much, but why do people do this?

It's part of the joke.
You know what? We should impeach Obama and let McCain into office.
They'll be begging for Obama to come back in absolutely no time.

Better yet, we should just let the Tea Party have their way and elect their leader into office.
Let's see how badly he can ruin the government before the year ends!
Ooohh say can you see??
