How embarrassing for the Navy SEALS that they post MS Paint memes on their facebook page.
Over the weekend, Facebook took down a message by the Special Operations Speaks PAC (SOS) which highlighted the fact that Obama denied backup to the forces being overrun in Benghazi.
The message was contained in a meme which demonstrated how Obama had relied on the SEALS when he was ready to let them get Osama bin Laden, and how he had turned around and denied them when they called for backup on Sept 11.
I spoke with Larry Ward, president of Political Media, Inc -- the media company that handles SOS postings and media production. Ward was the one who personally put the Navy SEAL meme up, and the one who received the warning from Facebook and an eventual 24 hour suspension from Facebook because Ward put the meme back up after Facebook told him to take it down.
Here's what Ward told me:
We created and posted this meme on Saturday after news broke that Obama had known and denied SEALS the backup they requested.
Once the meme was up it garnered 30,000 shares, approx. 24,000 likes, and was read by hundreds of thousands of people -- all within 24 hrs. On Sunday, I went into the SOS Facebook page to post something else and found a warning from Facebook that we had violated Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities with our meme. So I copied the warning, put it on the meme as as caption, and re-posted the meme to the Facebook page.
Along with the re-posted meme, Ward put a link to the Facebook "feedback comment" inbox so visitors to the SOS page could send a message to Facebook if they were as outraged over the meme being jerked down as he was.
Most likely because the meme, like most memes, are intellectually dishonest, at best.
lol outrage. It was an idiotic thing to post on fb.
The attention whoring will probably get them a few more donors. Mission accomplished.
But, I have seen stupider things posted that apparently are ok w/the facebook overlords.
Holy Crap THIS RIGHT HERE.
Streisand effect will undo any stupidity, tbh
I think all you gotta do is click on a pic, hit options and report it as inappropriate. Just takes one person.
A picture got removed by mistake and was back on Facebook shortly thereafter, and has not been removed.
I can certainly see why people are so pissed off.
It was probably NBADan, tbh...
Picture Fraud!!!1111!
Why are conservatives such when it comes to the internet
This particular meme was being advertised for use by the Washington times webpage.
The picture is still on fb.
This is bull .
"the fact that Obama denied backup to the forces being overrun in Benghazi"
there is no such "fact". Just another Repug/right-wing slander
