Here’s a better idea, Sheryl:

Let’s just bomb the expletive deleted out of ‘em

Via Business Insider:

The best way to combat hate speech is with overwhelming acts of tolerance, including “like attacks,” Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg said during a panel at the World Economic Forum.

She shared the story of how a German nongovernmental organization (NGO) dedicated to combatting neo-Nazis swarmed the Facebook page of the National Democratic Party.

“Rather than scream in protest, they got 100,000 people to ‘like’ the page who did not like it, and put messages of tolerance on the page,” she said.

She continued: “So then when you got to the page, they had completely changed the content. What was once a page filled with hatred and intolerance was now filled with tolerance and messages of hope.”….

“The best antidote to bad speech is good speech,” she says. “The best antidote to hate is tolerance.”

Hence the “like” attacks….

    This has to do with federal gov’t asking Silicon Valley tech businesses to help stop ISIS recruitment on electronic media. My response; what is gov’t doing to stop ISIS recruitment in prisons and mosques? Do your job there first, then come talk to me.

    Per USA Today, Kerry’s speech at Davos was on: Fighting Corruption is Key to Defeating Extremism. So, Kerry is going to fight the entire Democrat Party now?
