>Trying to stop the President from inciting violence isn't the responsibility of Facebook.
I didn't say it was, nor is that my read of the issue at hand. Facebook choosing not to host a message does not stop the message from being said. It would just be said elsewhere.
>People have a right to know what the President is saying and his hostile intentions.
I am not under the impression that Facebook is the exclusive source of information for presentenial statements. I understand they are also frequently run in other media.
> If the President says a bunch of racist and violent things in the State of the Union address, would you also blame ABC for airing it?
I haven't said anything about blaming anyone. Someone asked what message was controversial and I linked the message along with an explanation of the controversy. If you think I'm taking a position I'd appreciate you speaking directly instead of imputing intent.
I also don't really understand your question. I would "blame" ABC in that I would expect them to account for how they chose to cover it (whatever that form took).
