So I posted this image on the phatmass.com Facebook page yesterday.

It was already shared by over 500 people...

So I wake up this morning and get this message from Facebook.

Don't take it personally Dust. I have uber liberal friends who tell people to report any Religion or anti-Obama related post as threatening and obscene content...

Yup. I was just going to say, someone probably reported it.

It is still there, looks like it was shared by over 750 people.

I wouldn't go quiet on this. You might want to consider tipping off some press outlets/ blogs, that FB is doing this.

It's not FB that is "doing this," they send out a generic warning to anyone whose content was reported. It's a form letter.

Dust, just document what has happened. I'd advise sending a letter to FB that shows what the pic was and that there was no hateful speech or any other violation of their terms of use agreement. The thing is, though, that the ToU agreement is pretty loosely structured and leaves a lot of room for subjective interpretation. Just be aware that FB can and will decide to shut you down pretty much at their discretion. Best you can do is keep a paper trail, though ultimately it won't make a lot of difference there. Just be aware. :)
