Social Media Site Squelched Free Speech
to Protect Obama from Benghazi-gate
This week, Facebook censored the truth.
On Sunday, we here at Special Operations Speaks posted a meme on Facebook. The post simply stated "When Obama called the SEALs, they got bin Laden, but when the SEALs called Obama, they got denied"
A few hours after the meme went up, Facebook took it down, claiming that it violated the site's terms of Rights and Responsibilities.
It looks like Obama's liberal followers in Facebook HQ are terrified of how damaging the Benghazi scandal is for the President.
We understand that Facebook can run their site however they like, but when they're trying to quietly squelch opposition to what is a clear leadership failure that resulted in the tragic deaths of some of our nation's heroes, they deserve the highest level of scrutiny.
The fact of the matter is that our post in no way violated the Facebook terms of service. It's disgusting that Mark Zuckerburg and the other co-founders of Facebook, who have strongly supported Obama since 2008, would sell out patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice – all to serve the political ambitions of the man who let them die.
As my colleague and Co-Founder of Special Operations Speaks, Colonel Dick Brauer Jr. USAF (Ret)., put it:
"Americans across the country deserve the truth about what happened in Libya, and they certainly deserve to know when people who hold the keys to a lot of their online communication are trying to keep that from them,"
"This whole affair has become the poster child for liberal arrogance and incompetence – from the President's complete leadership failure in Libya to the liberal media's desperate efforts to keep this out of the hands of the American people across the spectrum from broadcast news to social media. I hope they'll stop this shameful game and stop sacrificing the truth – and Americans abroad – in the name of politics."
Facebook's politically motivated censorship of our meme, justified by an erroneous claim that we somehow violated the site's terms of Rights and Responsibilities, is both outrageous and insulting.
We will not allow such behavior to deter us from our mission to stand up for our troops and bring the truth about Benghazi to light.
We will not be silenced.
Special Operations Speaks will continue advocating on behalf of the brave men and women who serve our country every day.
If you believe as we do, if you believe that these brave men and women deserve advocates who will tell the truth about the way Obama has treated them, then I urge you to make a donation of $25, $50, $100, $250, or more, to Special Operations Speaks today.
With your generous donation, we will fight to combat any attempt by Obama and his supporters to censor the truth.
Sincerely,
Larry Bailey
Captain (SEAL), USN (Retired)
Co-Founder, Special Operations Speaks
P.S. With Election Day days away, your support counts now more than ever. Please consider making a donation of $25, $50, $100, $250, or more, to Special Operations Speaks today.
P.P.S: As I write this the international
publication the Daily Mail just made the claim that the SOS meme "reignited the debate over how much the administration knew about
the circumstances of the Benghazi attack and could influence the result of this month's presidential
election."
With the stakes this high, America cannot wait. Please donate today.
