Facebook Group Praying for Death of President Obama Passes 1 Million Members
http://www.geekosystem.com/obama-death-facebook-group/

by Robert Quigley | 11:30 am, April 28th, 2010

A Facebook group implicitly calling for the death of President Barack Obama now has more than 1 million members who ‘like’ it, and there’s no ban yet in sight, though there’s a rival group petitioning Facebook to remove the anti-Obama group as offensive speech.

The anti-Obama group is 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.” This is likely a riff on a letter circulating New Jersey teachers’ unions earlier this month that employed similar language with respect to (Republican) governor Chris Christie. The president of the New Jersey Education Association went on to issue a formal apology for the email.

2. Karma has a way of paying back for those sorts of "prayers"
They'll find this out soon enough.

11. Remember when...
Before Obama was elected, Michele Bachmann asked everyone to pray it would rain in the stadium where he was to talk. God was listening! He spoke on a beautiful night, however it stormed later at the Republican Convention. God does listen! LOL

10. If you asked me...
I didn't like Obama for his foreign policy.

But this is hate-riddled overkill!

Those Obama haters should be ashamed of themselves.

13. This is the one I called a distant cousin on (Facebook..aargh!)
Monday and she de-friended me immediately. I had no idea it was a group. I thought she was just being the lame brain she has always been.

14. and that, is how you waste time.....
but, some one could be dumb enough to actually attempt to make that wish of theirs come true. So when some dumb ass does, who ever put up that face book page should be seen as an accomplish to a federal crime.

15. If their prayers are answered and tragedy befalls Obama, will they form a similar group for Biden?
