1. ...
:rofl: It's just so funny! I'm thinking how shocked I would be if I'd received the invitation - I imagine you feel the same. Kind of surreal.

2. Don't
Just ignore it. One of my conservative friends is always sending me tea party crap, so I just click on the ignore button.

3. Tell them you know the law and it is insulting to be asked
to join a corrupt group.

7. Or a Hugo Chavez group!
:rofl:

Seriously though, can't you just pretend he never invited you and basically not respond at all? That would be diplomatic.

8. Invite the person to join THIS group
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=25823130196

Hey, FB keeps suggesting I join the "Conservative" group. Likely because three 'friends' are in it.

17. thanks for the link
I just joined the group.

I have one friend who's a "fan" of Kay Bailey Hutchinson and they keep suggesting I become a fan-- I don't think so!

I get ads on FB for Glenn Beck stuff all the time.

19. That's a good response
Me, I'd probably say, "Thanks, but my brain still works. Good luck to you."

Another delightful reason for me not to create a Facebook or My Space account.

14. not unheard of ...
plenty of liberal FB pages/groups/whatever are joined by Repugs/"conservatives"/psychos, solely for the purpose of calling us idiots ... some of them actually TRY to be sensible, and thus give me more ammunition for when Repugs f*ck up ...

15. I just hid messages from one of my Facebook contacts
Don't want to offend the guy by defriending him (business reasons), but anyone who is a "fan" of the Palin is someone whose opinions do not matter to me.

18. There are a couple of
groups you might suggest in return. Not Having George Bush as President and Telling Dick Cheney to Shut the Hell Up come to mind.

Trojan-Horse fun. Think of all the outrageous, ridiculous statements you could pass along, claiming they were hers. The possibilities are endless.

23.  Nothing wrong with joining just for a larf
You don't have to be active and you might find something interesting inside. You don't have to change your values to monitor a group you don't agree with.

24. Just tell them that exactly. That way they'll leave you alone and maybe think about what
they are doing.
