If you're being serious, a great example is a guy who literally spends aaaalllllllll day posting, sharing, and commenting on anti-religion, mainly Christian (who he refers to as Christ-insanes), Jewish, and Muslim. He also does the same for anti-GOP and refers to them as "Republitards" or "Republiscum". In his clinically-insane little heart he really, truly believes he is fighting the good fight and being a voice for the voiceless. Of course, he also lives in his car and sings on the streetcorner for a living, so, there's that. I'm sure the local McD's is sick of him buying one $1 tea and spending all day there on their WiFi.
Oh, and in case you're wondering he's only still on my list because we have mutual connections and he's been known to slander me to those people and I like to be able to know about it and report it.

Okay, thanks. I was definitely serious because I do not know what people do on faceboook. LOL.
So, when is someone truly being a voice for the voiceless? When are people not being over the top and annoying? Is it only when people agree with their stance?

Well, I think it has more to do with them (and not just my example, but "them") thinking that they are actually contributing to society with their Facebook page. Also, when I see the same person post more than about three memes in the same day on the same subject I want to roll my eyes regardless of what the subject is. There are Fan pages for EVERYTHING, and if I wanted to see fuzzy puppies all day, I'd subscribe to the Fuzzie Puppies fan page.
