President Barack Obama
Facebook has pulled a poll asking if President Obama should be assassinated. The poll, posted on the social networking site Facebook, appeared over the weekend. The poll asked: "Should Obama be killed?" The choices: No, Maybe, Yes, and Yes if he cuts my health care.
The US Secret Service is investigating the poll. The poll, posted on Saturday, was taken off the site as soon as the company was made aware of it. It was put up on the site using a third-party application that was unconnected with the social networking site itself.
A blog called The Political Carnival is getting credit for spotting and publicizing the obnoxious poll.
The poll may have been a harmless prank, or it may have been more serious. Experts tracking hate groups and others have expressed concern over what they described as violent rhetoric and "a genuine backlash" against the president. Indeed, this Examiner has made that point on more than one occasion.

Indeed, I am sure a frightened ignorant right-wing Republican wing nut is responsible for this outrage. That narrows it down to any of the most likely racists that failed to vote for Barry.
Mikey is one to talk about pranks and stirring up hate, does Glenn Beck 1990 sound familiar anyone?
It's a shame that there are always those that have to take things too far.

Obama is taking things WAY too far!
Where was the concern when a movie was being made about assassinating George W. Bush????? Was that movie deleted from theatres.
C'mon Dirty Harry. We ALL know that is was OK to do or say anything against Bush but since Obama is black ALL is off limits.
Got something to say?
