I think the Facebook link is still up.
I know Facebook is full of idiots, but they are going too far.

[Mari333]

1. heres the poll link

http://apps.facebook.com/realpolls/vote/ixnjamypj

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

Thanks for the link... I voted on it so I could...

... publish it to my page and alert my friends what ilk is going on FB!

[movonne]

2. This stuff is going too far....it must be stopped...these people should

go to jail for a long time...this is not a joke...

[BlooInBloo]

5. Uh.... It went too far a long time ago.

:rofl:

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

19. and just down the road... The Holocaust Poll

Do you believe it happened?

1) Yes, one of the worst events in human history
2) No, it never happened
3) Yes, but it was a good thing.


---------------------------------------------

[regnaD kciN]

53. You forgot...

"4) Yes, but we need to finish the job." :puke:

[laconicsax]

3. Has anyone forwarded this to the Secret Service?

Edit: There's an 'e' in "the" and I see from the link an 'update' that someone has.

[graywarrior]

6. An update says someone called the FBI who appreciated the info.

[laconicsax]

9. Thanks, I saw that.

[BlooInBloo]

4. Anybody know where the user is from?

[MagickMuffin]

51. wrong person

:shrug:

[subcomhd]

7. holy shit! nt

[prostomulgus]

8. Thank Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, et al for this

This is why we need to shut these guys down. We need to do it soon before President Obama or one of his family members gets hurt.

Pull the plug on Fox News, EIB, and all RW talk shows NOW!

[asdjrocky]

44. Nobody gets shut down.

That's not how America works.

[prostomulgus]

56. Things change when they advocate killing the President

overthrowing the government, inciting riots, etc. It is not a free speech issue, it's a necessary step to preserving the government and protecting the public.

Shut 'em down now before people get hurt.

[mmonk]

57. You cannot legally incite people to murder.

Free speech is about being able to air grievances in the form of public redress.

[Cetacea]

58. Imagine how long this would last if Bush were president?

[Old Codger]

10. Hopefully

he/it will get some serious consideration from the secret service and FBI ...

[Pushed To The Left]

11. These are the people the Secret Service needs to keep an eye on

People like the church shooter, Tim McVeigh and whoever killed the census worker are as much of a threat to American security as Al Quaeda ever will be.

[subcomhd]

13. I wouldn't be surprised if the authorities created the poll just to go visit

those who voted "yes."

[drmeow]

23. I'd say they are a bigger threat n/t

[KingFlorez]

12. They should get a visit from the authorities

This is downright sick.

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. ...along with all 32 who voted yes.

[gateley]

14. As I suggested to the other DUer who posted this, this should be forwarded

to Facebook, as well as Ed, KO, Rachel, ABC, NBC -- everywhere. This needs to get out there. I'm relieved the SS is aware.

[Mari333]

15. I twittered Maddow

and so did a few others.

[gateley]

60. Excellent -- thanks!! nt

[bluestateguy]

16. Not only should the person who posted this be investigated

but the people who voted Yes should be investigated too.

[subcomhd]

17. what if that was its purpose? see who votes 'yes'

[Mari333]

18. one guy wrote

"you cant change fate."

some sick assholes out there.

[subcomhd]

37. His fate is going to be a visit from the Treasury Dept. nt

[NYC Liberal]

54. Actually..even better. The Secret Service is under Homeland Security now.

"This is Agent Mike from the Department of Homeland Security" will probably scare them a little more than "This is Agent Frank from the Treasury Department." ;)

[CurtEastPoint]

20. In case it gets deleted or if you don't want to click the link, here it is.

Fucking amazing.

[sakabatou]

21. Report it

[uppityperson]

22. first reply there was Aug 25. People even then were wondering about SS/fbi

[subcomhd]

25. and it probably remained there for a reason - an obvious one

[Mari333]

27. yes, surely it had been reported as offensive

how odd..

[subcomhd]

29. not odd at all.

a big ol' collection of "yes" clickers is being collected.

[CherokeeDem]

39. I Reported It as Offensive.

My friends in Miami have been using Facebook to communicate and talked me into it. I am extremely upset that Facebook has not taken this horrid poll down, just might be rethinking my participation on Facebook.

[monmouth]

59. I just copied and pasted the link to my facebook page and said

it was time for me to leave. Disgusting....

[Parker CA]

26. If it has been allowed to remain posted that long, it's possible the FBI or SS posted it to track

some of the "yes" respondents.

[subcomhd]

28. thank you, I've been trying to say that upthread

whether they created it or not, whould they really shut it right down without seeing who clicks 'yes'? of course not.

[Parker CA]

32. If someone from the gvmnt didn't post it, it wouldn't still be up a month later. No chance. This

is an interesting tactic, if it actually is the gvmnt, to track teh strong stupids out there.

[subcomhd]

33. it's a big piece of crazy fucker fly paper. nt

[Parker CA]

34. HAHAHHAHA, perfectly said, sub, perfectly said. Crazy fucker fly paper indeed. ;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. That assumes Facebook polices itself

I don't give them that much credit.

[Parker CA]

38. After a month of being posted, I'm sure someone would have reported it to the SS or FBI. Threats

like that don't usually hang around for more than a few days, let alone a month. I agree though that FB does a piss poor job of monitoring it's users.

[Milk]

24. That's just beyond belief

The related polls are just as nauseating.

[Kievan Rus]

30. Contact the Secret Service on this. I just did.

I bet they're getting sick and tired of these armchair rightwing generals who live in their mother's basement posting this shit, but the U.S.S.S. is better safe than sorry. They've sure as hell been busy with all these lunatics.

[Lex]

36. I'm on Facebook, but I never look at or participate in FB polls

but this is over the top and needs to be investigated. There are a lot of deranged folks on the 'net. And a lot of stupid-ass teenagers too.

[hootinholler]

40. I can't believe this is still up on FB! WTF! n/t

[live love laugh]

41. I thought the secret svc. screened stuff like this. Remember Agent Mike? nt

[kas125]

42. WTF? That thing is still up? I alerted on it Saturday!! n/t

[Toucano]

49. Youtube doesn't give a rats ass about their own policies either. n-t

[subcomhd]

50. youtube comments are like a neo-nazi site at times nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

43. Should Obama be killed? Now what does this tell us

of the US at the present time?

That is why this worries me.

Yes, the question is protected speech... even if on the face of it...

Anyhow, file this under PATTERN...

[unapatriciated]

45. I don't do face book polls and I have only taken one quiz on face book

take this quiz and find out why.

[Historic NY]

46. Hey Agent Mike, Ralph & George get on this ASAP.

[Harry Monroe]

47. The only poll I've ever voted on in Facebook.

***** ******** Too frightening even to contemplate!!
***** voted in the Sarah Palin for President in year 2012? Poll along with over 472,802 other people.

Would you support Sarah Palin for President in 2012?
- yes
- no
- undecided

The "Too frightening..." comment is mine.

[Toucano]

48. Obscenity is not protected as free speech.

This poll is obscene.

End of story.

[Seldona]

52. It's been there a month?

:wtf:

[NYC Liberal]

55. Yup, this one needs to go to the FBI and Secret Service. nt

[WhoIsNumberNone]

61. Velvet Revolution just launched a campaign addressing this sort of thing
