A Facebook Clone for Republicans!

I’m not a big fan of Facebook.  I had a flirtation with it for a few months, found Farmville totally addictive, and ended up spending so much time consuming their fast food for the mind, that it was interfering with my blog and with my life.  Worse yet, I’ve seen a few lefty bloggers succumb to their siren song and stop blogging.  Now there is a Facebook clone that caters to the racism and bigotry of the Republican base.  So I wonder, can the white supremacist version numb Republican minds any more than they already are?

“We’re aware of this website, and our legal team is considering what action to take,” Simon Axten, Facebook’s manager for public policy, told Hatewatch in an E-mail. “We’re also investigating the website owner.”

That would be music promoter, entrepreneur and accused con man Chris “Big Poppa” Hogan of Heber Springs, Ark., who earlier this year was the Arkansas state leader and mid-South regional coordinator for a faction of the neo-Nazi group Aryan Nations before he resigned in late November. He registered Aryansbook.com on Nov. 16… [emphasis added]

Will they offer online games, perhaps Lynchville?  It may even be positive of it keeps Republicans exploring their hate-fantasies there, instead pf perpetrating them in real life.
