"Posted over the weekend, the poll was removed by Facebook after the Secret Service received a tip and contacted the company, which was not aware of the survey, sources tell ABC News.

"When the Secret Service became aware of the poll we worked with Facebook to have it taken down and are conducting an investigation," said a spokesman for the Secret Service.

The poll asked: "Should Obama be killed?" The answer choices: "No," "Maybe," "Yes" and "Yes if he cuts my health care."

I wonder if anybody did this when Bush was in office? The mentality of these people is self defeating for the whole country.
Thanks Dee

people do some really DUMB things, but this ones a doozy.

Another sick, proof positive indicator of how hateful and stupid these people are. Limbaugh and Fox "News", Beck, an their ilk are just as guilty as the morons that put this poll up, on the air every day ginning up hatred and fear. Do they have any idea what would happen to this country if Obama were assassinated, to say nothing of how it would affect his family friends? Such a thing would destroy this country, figuratively and literally, and I think the US would be mentioned in the same breath as Rwanda, and Bosnia. A bigger nightmare I can't picture.

AlF?
Like Obama is not doing enough on his own to destroy our country.
The Secret Service has one job and only one job, protecting the president. This includes investigating EVERY and ANY threat no matter what the nature. We should ALL be glad (whether we like Obama or not) that there is at least ONE Government agency that is actually DOING it's job, not just sitting around twiddling it's thumbs and sucking up our tax dollar's. Like congress and the rest of the current incumbents!

When you have stupidity like Limbaugh and Beck running their mouths about our President, getting people all up in arms over talking about Nazi's, and the like it brings out the crazy people, the people that are motivated by hate, and that have no morals about anything. We need so squelch their kind of behavior. No one should threaten our President... and why would some other than a nut be that upset over a health care reform bill they felt the need to threaten anyone??? Something is very wrong in our nation.... when our President is trying to help the citizens, not harm them, and the nut jobs out there have no thought about harming, threatening, and harassing the President or any member of the government as far as that goes. If they will threaten the President, then they are also a direct threat to all of us.

How many here have a Face book? I do and it is really disturbing as to how many polls on President Obama are down right disrespectful and fulled with hatred.

The truest President who would be given any type of Nazi label was Bush JR. Now those who support him are calling President Obama one, I guess that is a good for the goose, so it is also for the gander...

There is a lot of wrong in our Nation, we should really try and start with ourselves and stop ANY AND ALL generalizations, stereotypes...

I do not ever recall Bush Jr. having any poll asking about his death... The one movie, made in the UK, that showed a likeness to Bush JR, being assassinated, was not even allowed to be shown in American theaters, cause of the fact it was wrong and disrespectful to imply such to happen to any President, let alone a US President.

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!! I do have facebook and never even saw that. My sister in law works for the feds I probably would have let her know as soon as I had seen it. YOU DONT DO THAT CRAP!!! I dont think Obama is destroying this country I firmly beleive it is the politians behind the scenes that are doing this....besides noone is perfect I wish they were but they are not. We are all never going to agree with everything he does but cant blame him soley for the US problems...

We have a great many idiots who listen to Glenn Beck and the others like him who spew hatred not to mention a Preacher who wished Pres. Obama would get a brain tumor and die like Ted Kennedy. This kind of thing has been going on since the campaign trail with Mc Cain/Palin and the talking heads just took over where Mc Cain and Palin left off.

Tuesday September 29, 2009, 2:20 pm
The Secret Service just called to thank me .... for my screen grab of the poll asking whether President Obama should be killed, and said without it, they wouldn't have been able to address the matter.Go here to read the original post.... they rely on people like us to help them out. Sounds awfully grassrootsy, doesn't it? Almost community service-like. Imagine that.

Oh, Oh, Oh My Gawd. Don't tell me that Fox is being blamed for this too! Come on people! Where does it end?

Tuesday September 29, 2009, 11:33 pm
Noted ..Thanks Dee..Yeah, that is really stupid. As if anyone that actually had any bad intent toward Obama would post it on Facebook! LOL!

It's amazing how many times the word 'stupid' has been used to describe this.

Stupid is not the word that comes to mind, mine in any event:

I would go for:
dangerous, criminal, sick, appalling, hateful, disgusting, unconscionable, unacceptable

I happened to be driving yesterday and switched on Glenn Beck's radio show. He spent a portion of his show discussing this. I can't give exact quotes, but to paraphrase what he said:
No sane person would ever threaten the president's life. People who do are crazy. He went on to say that this would be a terrible thing for this country, and given the chance he himself would step in front of a bullet meant for the president. He said that even though he disagreed with Obama's policies, to want him killed was insane and no one with any credibility would advocate that.
This aren't exact quotes, but it was the essence of what he said, and I was glad he said it.
Now I rarely listen to Beck, but have on occasion. I do like Rush's show, and turn it on maybe twice a week if I am in my office. But I can say I have NEVER heard either of them advocate any type of violence and certainly neither has called for the president to be assasinated.
Also later in the day I heard a retired Secret Service agent discuss this on another show. He said that this did not appear to be a credible threat. In order to be a crime he said that it would need to be a credible threat which would include the person making it to both intend to carry it out AND having the means to carry it out. Otherwise it would not fall in that category.
Sounds more like some 15 year old doing something stupid to me.

Wednesday September 30, 2009, 8:34 am
From my understanding of the law, any threat to the president is a threat. I see this as a threat.. Funny Glen Speck is saying he would stand before a bullet for President Obama, when just a few weeks ago, he him self, was calling out the sheep to over throw his administration by starting civil war.

Wednesday September 30, 2009, 11:03 am
The people who participated in this poll that answered "yes" along with the original poster of this poll are most likely to be investigated especially the originator.

Anytime you say, write something on-line can be traced back to you...

TY, Dee.

dearest Jim, How right you are... we had a story a few years back where an older man mentioned his dislike to a fellow gm memeber about w. they came and visited him like six times, it was in the St.Pete times.... like we'd say what we really think or do.. me I could only hurt someone hurting me , my girl or my pets...

"I would go for:

You cannot currently send a star to Alba because you have done so within the last week.

I couldn't agree more with Alba's comment above..It is indeed hateful and everything she described it as..

Regardless of who is was aimed at..that sort of behavior is just wrong on every level..

Wednesday September 30, 2009, 1:46 pm
"when just a few weeks ago, he him self, was calling out the sheep to over throw his administration by starting civil war." That WOULD be news if it was true. It isn't.

Wednesday September 30, 2009, 7:42 pm
Thank you for saving me from having to say that Mark, but 'they' won't believe you or me anyway. 'They' have never listened to Glenn Beck or Rush, BUT trust whatever other talking head tells them is said . . . Talk about sheep!
