Secret Service Probing Obama Assassination Poll on Facebook

Secret Service Probing Obama Assassination Poll on Facebook

Source: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,556722,00.html


The U.S. Secret Service is investigating a Facebook "poll" that asked the most unsocial, unspeakable question: Should President Obama be assassinated? The poll was posted on Saturday and was taken down as soon as Facebook officials were alerted of the poll. Possible answers were "no", "maybe", "yes" or "yes if he cuts my healthcare." A Facebook official told Fox News in a statement that they suspended the "third-party application" while the poll was taken down. They are cooperating with the Secret Service while the investigation goes on.

    Intense case. I wonder if they will prosecute anyone who replied "yes" and interpret it as a threat to the President's life.

    Wow, it is amazing what some people will put up on Facebook! I can't believe someone would put that on there. I am sure they meant it as a joke, but they must not have thought it through very well.

    Grade: 10/10
    *Note: Try to avoid opinion in your news summaries. "Unsocial, unspeakable" are pretty biased.
