Obama Assassination Poll Rocks Facebook
September 28th, 2009
by Adam Ostrow
Politics and social media can sometimes be an explosive combination. But now, a poll posted to Facebook through a third-party application has gone so far as to draw the attention of the US Secret Service.
The poll, which has since been pulled, asked the question: “Should Obama be killed?” and offered users four multiple choice answers. According to Talking Points Memo, who obtained a screenshot of the poll, more than 750 users voted in the poll before it was pulled by Facebook.
Facebook, meanwhile, offered the following statement to Mashable():
“The third-party application that enabled an individual user to create the offensive poll was brought to our attention this morning. It was immediately suspended while the inappropriate content could be removed by the developer and until such time as the developer institutes better procedures to monitor their user-generated content. We’re working with the US Secret Service but they’ll need to provide any details of their investigation.”
Technically speaking, this isn’t much different than what we sometimes see with third-party ad networks violating Facebook’s policies and misusing member photos (creating plenty of confusion, myself included). In this case, it appears a user of a third-party app launched a poll that was able to spread relatively quickly and create at least a small national security concern before being pulled.

The only viable path is to defeat Obama politically and let him be relegated as a one term failure like Jimmy Carter. History will prove that Obama's policies only belong on the ash heap.
Who are we to deny some Kenyan village their assigned idiot.
I hate the guy but advocating his murder is way over the line.
“The only viable path is to defeat Obama politically and let him be relegated as a one term failure like Jimmy Carter.”
How about if his wife bludgeoned him to death, after finding out that he gave her AIDS.
Not to mention illegal.
But that didn’t stop Hollywood from making a movie about the assassination of G W Bush.Call it selective enforcement.
Dems are allowed to go way over the line, but conservatives have to toe it.
Two sets of laws, depending on your politics.
Ditto that post. History will deal with Obama in a very unkind manner. I’m expect HOPE and CHANGE in other ways before then, like the courts and the next couple of elections.
This was actually a RAT plot, to prosecute anyone voting in it, and to be able to accuse conservatives of such crime.
Are we guessing or do we know?
The question is how will history deal with zero. The answer is that history will deal with the kenyan by making him a super human leader, who made the right decisions.
Why? Because the left, the loosers, the enemies of this country, will get to write history the way they want it; not the way it was.
So what were the results?
what about all the left wingers who wanted bush dead
Call it a guess. But going by the way the RATS are, there is very little room for doubt. I lived in a communist country, and I have seen hard to believe things done by the left, in order to destroy their enemies.
You beat me to it.
I was shocked when I first heard about this poll. Now I could care less because after running a search on Facebook for “kill Bush” I see 3 groups. Where’s the outrage on them?
So what was the result? :)
Don’t forget they were wishing Dick Cheney would have a heart attack, and thought that was funny.
I don’t know.
The most I can find about the subject is that about 750 voted before the poll was pulled.
Maybe, like this poll, some sinister forces in the Democrat party will have ways of making it happen, right after we find that Michelle is pregnant.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be a Kos Kid or other flaming liberal trying to generate a smear that can be falsely attributed to conservatives.
If he is the buffoon he appears to be, why deprive history of its comical justice.
And if he is the AC...we couldn't kill him if we tried.
Lately I have been thinking that I might becoming just an old carmudgeon. After some contemplation, I realize that I am a genuine patriot, even though I am a naturalized American.Thats just how my emotions run. I know the moment that happened for keeps.It was when I was playing my highland pipes solo at the Alamo in San Antonio, Bexar County Texas, in 2004. We will now have to rescue America from hese national socialist. I am eager to get to work. Dick Cheny is worth more to our country than all the Czars AND Obama combined.Yet he never complained of his ill treatment by the Dems.

Yes and before Carter dies. That way the only Dem ex Presidents would be a rapist, a jew hater and a black supremacist.
Obama needs to lead a long, healthy, discredited life.
Just like Carter.
Sorry I missed that one.
absolutely out of line.
If they had come out with a movie with the plot to snuff him then it would be art.
Not to mention the fact that it would make Joe Biden president.
Stupid to respond to it.
Stuck on stupid.
My mother was naturalized. There was no more patriotic person in the country, she had to earn it.
I don’t want to see him dead; just disgraced and frog marched out of office. He’s doing quite a good job of disgracing himself already. The latest activity involves the “Safe Schools Czar” being involved with pedophiles. That czar will probably resign Friday or Saturday night when nobody will be paying attention.
If that is the case, we will never hear about it. They will let this story die.
“But that didn’t stop Hollywood from making a movie about the assassination of G W Bush.Call it selective enforcement.”
Actually it wasn’t a Hollywood product, it was made in the UK by Newmarket films. It was written and directed by a Brit as well and it was premiered in Canada.

True enough Milarepa, but it was shown throughout the US in covert groups.The SS did nothing about it as far as we know.
