Soo... decided to de-friend her and message him.  I am just not very good at keeping my mouth shut.
"Dad,
I love you and I know it's been several years since mom left. I realize that it's time to start developing new relationships. I am very happy that you have found someone who makes you happy.
However, the posts back and forth on Facebook, the mushy songs and the "hey baby"s are a bit too much for me to handle right now. To be frank, I find it disgusting and distasteful. Those comments are posted for the world to read and I think it's really inappropriate to post bedroom talk on the web.
Whatever the two of you have going, good... great... but it is being displayed, rather flaunted in ways that make others uncomfortable. Is it really necessary to tag her 25 times a day with every love song you can find with hearts and all sorts of other nonsense? I don't even do that to Kevin.
I friended Jodi in an effort to get to know her better, but I think I have learned too much too fast with all of the crap you two post. I have de-friended her and blocked your posts. Until you are better able to censor the parts of your relationship that should be kept private, I want no part of it.
I apologize if this hurts your feelings. I know you had good intentions when you asked me to friend her. I know you are very excited about this new relationship and I am happy for you. Hopefully the novelty of it will wear off soon and you two will be able to interact via facebook like adults, and I will feel more comfortable interacting with both of you."
Too harsh?

It is a bit harsh. I think your Dad, like most old people, doesn't have a clue about facebook ettiquette. Does he even know that he's flooding your newsfeed with this mushy crap? Does he think only she sees it? My mom would do something like that. I agree, it's gross and I would definitely say something to him, but maybe you should tell him to make a list or something so when he posts that crap only certain people can see it.
I feel your pain about watching parents date. Divorces are rough. But that behavior would piss me off even if it just a friend. Get a room!

I would probably say something like that to my mom and then she would promptly get really mad at me.  But I think it's good to speak your mind like that sometimes.

Yayy good for you! I'm proud haha... harsh or not (I don't think it is) now he knows how you feel about the situation and can makes changes if he so desires. I'm all for honesty and I think you were really clear that this is not cool with you but that you ARE happy for him. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" />
