the link to the Tancredo page generated a 404 error. Then the comments were gone, then the post was gone.

Not the OP link - it goes to Rick Perry's campaign Facebook page.

And not the Facebook post - it's still there.

But the link to the story on Tom Tancredo's website is gone - 404 error. And people are posting links to the September 2009 snopes debunking of the story.

And the Rick Perry campaign has STILL not pulled the link, even though you can see them replying about the problem in the OP graphic!

Actually as the person above said, they did manage to pull it in the time I was composing my magnus opus on the situation.
