Facebook Poll Asks "Should Obama Be Killed"?

It is sickening enough to have purveyors of hate speech like Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck and the rest of the Reichwing whackjobs out there spewing their hatred daily. Now, perhaps in response to the hate those alleged humans spew daily, there is a new poll out on Facebook titled "Should Obama Be Killed?"

Remember just a few short years ago when people would show up at George Bush rallies wearing anti-Bush t shirts and they would be arrested and hauled away? Now we have entire political movements and the Fox "News"Channel advocating the overthrow of the government and not one of these bastards languishes in jail. On top of that we have idiots like the person who created this poll asking people if the President should be shot - and for what? For wanting everyone in the country to have health care?

Just a minute ago I called the US Secret Service office in Tampa (813-228-2636) and spoke to the duty officer there. I identified myself as a retired Federal employee and asked if the SS was aware of this poll advocating the murder of the President. The Secret Service agent told me they were well aware of the poll and its underpinnings. I begged him not only as a retired Federal employee but also as a US citizen to track down the scum posting this poll and arrest them and have them prosecuted. The SS agent seemed as disgusted as I am and assured me they are on the issue. I hope they find this creep and the local US Attorney prosecutes him/her to the fullest extent possible.

Its one thing to have a disagreement with those in power. That is what democracy (majority rule) is all about. It is quite another to foment so much hatred that the crazies in society are out there wanting to kill the President of the United States. What is most unfortunate is that there are enough sick bastards out there listening to Rush and Glenn Beck and Michael Savage that one of them is going to snap and do it. And then when the deed is done they will all blame Bill Clinton.

Who would have ever thought that wanting to ensure that every American has access to quality health care, and not have to worry about breaking the bank to do it, would cause people to go off the fucking deep end.
