Take a look at this. I’m taking this right off Jihad Watch:
The David Horowitz Freedom Center is calling upon all supporters of freedom of speech and of Israel to join in its protest against Facebook, the Internet social networking site. Facebook has allowed a group of hackers who openly support the terrorist group Hizballah to take over and destroy what was once the largest pro-Israel site on Facebook. In a blunt act of internet censorship, Facebook added insult to injury by disabling the account of that site’s creator, 14-year-old Todd Snider.
Snider established the Facebook group called “I Wonder How Quickly I Can Find 1,000,000 People Who Support Israel,” in July 2008. By February 2009 it was Facebook’s largest pro-Israel site, with over 180,000 members.
But on February 15, 2009, Snider’s Facebook group was hacked and destroyed by a pro-Hizballah group calling itself “Lebanese Shee’a Hackers.” The hackers completely erased the original site content and replaced it with threatening, obscenity-laced pro-jihad, anti-Israel propaganda datelined Bint Jbeil, South Lebanon: “DEAR ADMINS, DON’T WASTE MY AND YOUR TIME , LEAVE THIS GROUP ITS BETTER FOR BOTH THIS IS THE LAST TIME ILL EDIT YOU INFO , NEXT TIME…”
Facebook allowed the hackers to destroy Snider’s site, answering his repeated entreaties for help with blandly evasive form letters.
And now, after the appearance on March 6 of an article about the incident in FrontPageMagazine.com (“Facebook Jihad” by Robert Spencer), Facebook has taken the additional step of disabling Snider’s account altogether, capitulating to the jihadi hackers and accusing Snider himself of “misusing” Facebook’s “features.”
Facebook’s outrageous action is not only an assault on free speech and internet freedom and a breach of its own social networking protocols, but also appeasement of a group of hackers who have invaded Facebook’s space and who openly avow their support for the jihad terrorist group Hizballah.
We therefore urge all Facebook members who oppose Islamist terror and internet censorship to contact the site administrators through the Facebook contact form, and all others to join us in protesting against Facebook’s outrageous behavior by writing to abuse@facebook.com.

Robert SpencerI will be asking other prominent bloggers, writers, media figures, lovers of freedom, to join their names to ours in this, and will be adding them.

Spencer’s involved? This’ll prob’ly NOT be featured on 1.0

Oh, Spencer will be called all manner of vileness. Probably accused of hacking into Facebook and making it all up.
And you will probably see the hand of medusa and that cocksucking hubby of hers, MPH.
Never used FaceBook or MySpace much. I had accounts on both because People I know used it for messages and such. I got tired of being spammed with “friend” requests from other users trying to sell me something. I killed both accounts long ago.
I can’t see 1.0 taking this up now that it’s been “tainted.”
Some Facebook users are nazi’s.
Some Facebook users are 1.0 LGFers.
Therefore 1.0 LGFers are nazi’s.
I think that’s how it works.
Don’t forget to set your clocks ahead tonight.
I know there is something out there called facebook, and have been invited, but the whole concept evades me.
While I find the actions of the owners reprehensible, I find the idea of a “social” network puzzling.
Maybe if I was fourteen, and living in this age. When I was fourteen, I got my unrestricted Driver’s License, and a car. Didn’t hang around the house much, after that.

Same here. I have a facebook account, but don’t use it much. To me its like a blog that nobody is really at.
bar,
I’ve never even looked at facebook, to see what it is. That goes for all the other so-called “social” network sites.
I’ve always been a private person, and my first career in life is minding my own. Putting my life on the innernut for all to see, is not something I would ever do, or even understand why any one would.
Funny, I thought that Spencer was a whie supremist nazi………. why then would he be supporting an isreali facebook poster?
Oh… wait…. 1.0 is full of crap.
so, once again, the muslim terrorists and LGF will likely be on the same side due to a common enemy.
off with my head
Hey,… no 1.0 logic here buddy.
I wonder if any 1.0/er will have the guts to post a link to the Spencer story.
We can be fairly certain 1.0’s derision of Spencer outweighs the so-called support they claim for Israel.
n2l & bar
Never been to Facebook and went to MySpace a couple times because a band member has an account there. I have no interest in looking at peoples faces whom I don’t know.
On my facebook, I am private and only have friends and family.
Psaturn who I met at 1.0 got me started, I blame him.

Hey. I remember Psaturn. Smart cookie—- and articulate, too. Always polite, but not intimidated by the Chuckling crowd.
Gee. Wonder why he’s not at 1.0 anymore!

Psaturn is a creationist with a degree in get this, “biology”, how can that happen?
And he is also a great guy, I am glad I got to meet him.
Psaturn is over at Babba’s place posting under a new name.
I’m a creationist in the biology/chemistry degree category also.
Got a question for the physicists out there. I’ve often heard it said that if we had a powerful enough telescope we could look far enough back in time and observe the big-bang or moments thereafter (since the light we see from stars originated zillions of years ago). Since the movement of space and molecules as a result of the big bang would necessarily have to be slower than the speed of light, isn’t that moment in time lost to observation? Maybe the space-time thing kicks in and a bunch of new string-theories and the like?
Never did get an answer from Scientific American online.
off with my head
Next time you see aussie dave here ask him. He is a physicist.
Facebook can be addictive
Wow, I can comment here? After being summarily banned from LGF1.0 with no warning after several years of active, constructive participation, I figured the same would apply over here. We’ll see how long this comments stands.
Off topic: Charlemagne is turning over in his grave.
17. off with my head:
“I’m a creationist…Never did get an answer from Scientific American online.”
If you told them you were a creationist, then they probably just ignored your question becauce of it.

This is the blogmocracy, we allow different opinions here this is not a 1.0 eco chamber.
22. Escovado,
Yeah, my father-in-law taught anatomy and physiology at a local college and is in his very senior years. He still likes his Scientific American so I get him an annual subscription, but I swallow hard each time I do. It’s sad to see his mental decline, but he keeps his sense of humor up. He will ask if he has already read an article, we’ll say yes, and he will respond that we can get by for cheap and just buy him one issue since he will keep reading it.
