I was going to paste the #1 thread right now about Sarah Palin

and the great beat down given to her by the foreign press. I went to FaceBook and looked her up and realized that she has it set up so you cannot post comments but it is filled with comments!

One wonders where these comments came from when there is no way to add a comment. (Well truth is we all know)

1. She writes her own comments.

Bet all those comments were positive. She just doesn't have the courage to post anything negative regarding herself.

2. You can comment on her posts, and if you write something at the top box, it goes over to the right

where it says "Recent Posts by Others on Sarah Palin".

At least I can post comments. Maybe they have you blocked?

4. Still don't see anyway to post and I have no idea why they would

block me considering I never wrote to her.

I think you have to look at the comments to realize she writes them or has staff write them. Any other GOP on FB has all sorts of negative comments on their page.

5. That is odd. My regular account I can't post, my secret account I Like the page and it will let me.

I got blocked by them a while back, maybe they blocked others related to me since the secret account is not related? If that makes sense. Weird. I know they remove negative comments as they did mine when they blocked me.

Check this out: Bush went on Fb and had open discussion group for only a few hours:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8472711



Once he realized people might post something he didn't want his fans to see,
Bush shut down his discusssion area, but not before it was captured on DU.
Also, not before "someone" captured his computer's IP address by posting an image in the discussion!

10. You note the time you post the thread and name of the image, then you search the server log

for the file request. You can do this on DU too. The trick is to control (or hack) the server where the file resides.
