Facebook keeps pushing "friends" who have "liked" Scumney's page to the top.

I keep hiding them, and even reporting the repeated posts. None of my "friends" has "liked" him anew in a week. Yet, the ugly posts keep popping up.

Is the the Scumbag campaign using Facebook's new "promote" feature?

If so, goodbye Facebook. Sheesh.

instead of making me think better of Romney (or Ryan, who's being featured today), it just ends up making me think less of my friends.

It keep suggesting "friends" that are people I don't know. It's amazing its friend search gets worse every year. I use to find people I knew easy, now their smart friend search is so clunky I don't even bother to try to add new friends.

when I search anything, his site comes up. He is desperate to get 9 million followers, when Obama is over 30 Million now, I think.

It's not just the ads on the right side of the page -- it's in my newsfeed, telling me that my friend, so-and-so, likes Mittens. It keeps repeating every day, with no option to comment. And man, could I comment!

Apparently, none of my "friends" have "liked" Mittler. Unfortunately, several of them play online games, especially casino-type games. So, I'm inundated with ads and posts inviting me to play a bunch of dumbass games. Grrrrrrrrrr...

It's shocking how many of my friends (actual people I've known for years) like Rmoney and LyinRyan!
