- "May I offer this heartfelt prayer from a friend of mine... Dear Lord, In the past year you have taken away my favorite actor (Patrick Swayze), my favorite actress (Farah Fawcett), my favorite musician (Michael Jackson) and my favorite salesperson (Billy Mays). Just wanted to let you know my favorite TV and radio personalities are Bill O'Reilly, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, M Malkin and Sarah Palin. AMEN."
I posed the question; What kind of outrage would there be if somebody replaced the conservative leaders names in this post with liberal names?
Well, somebody tried it. Here's the post (and group):
- "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"
So, what's the reaction? The creation of a group titled, "Petition to remove facebook group praying for President Obama's death." To date this group has over 300,000 members.
Here are some of the most recent comments:
- Absolutely! We don't want our forum defaced and poisoned by these hatefull people. Please FB block them permanently!
So called Christians should not pray for anyone to be taken, do some think its just funny, WELL IT IS NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WISHING FOR SOMEONE'S DEATH IS JUST PLAIN CRAZY!!!
Interesting, isn't it. To date there is NO Facebook group calling for the censoring of the anti-conservative "joke."
Surprised? You shouldn't be.
