The social networking site Facebook is cooperating with a Secret Service investigation into a survey posted on the site asking users if they supported killing the president.
A spokesman for Facebook confirmed the company was cooperating with the government investigation, but downplayed Facebook's culpability in the creation of the poll, emphasizing that it was posted using third-party application hosted on the Facebook website.
"The third-party application that enabled an individual user to create the offensive poll was brought to our attention this morning. The application 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," Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt said in a statement.

ss probing ....sounds like hitlers germany
Morons.
what was the poll result?
How stupid can someone be?
It wouldn’t surprise me if it were someone fronting for the 0bamunists who created that ‘application’ just to see who they could draw into the net.
Bunch o’ dummies.
That was totally inappropriate. Whoever posted it is a jerk, and conservatives will get the blame regardless.
SS would look into this regardless of who was sitting in the White House. Talk of assassinating a POTUS is no laughing matter, and whoever posted it is just a jerk.
Knock, knock.
And it’s up against the wall mother trucker.
What’s the matter with some folks?
If it’s some libtard, you’ll never hear about it again.
its a trick question,,,SAY NO!
Now every public participation blog has to have a 24/7 nanny so we never see death threats to Bummer?
I agree, it should definitely be investigated and prosecuted if laws were broken.
From the way it was worded though, I suspect it was an Obamabot who put the poll up. Again, if any laws were broken, they should be prosecuted as well.
I think it’s far more likely they created the poll in the first place.
No matter how much you front or pretend or mask - you leave a trail of electronic fingerprints.
The secret service/FBI would be talking to this person some time soon - he better have a good “i am a retard” defense ready.
damn! you had to ask.....
WOW I hope those persons get the same treatment that those idiots who made a film about killing Bush did. I mean after all whats fair is fair and as any liberal lurkers would have to agree we are a country where we have equal protection under the law.
Right?
Like “I had no idea that Joe Biden was a walking case of brain damage”
If Zero gets hit by a bus, has a heart attack, or falls down a set of stairs in front of the whole world, it will of course be an “assassination” followed by decades of conspiracy theories all pointing to decent conservative Christians who DON’T hire Communists, perverts, prostitutes or narcissists, channel taxpayer money to crooks who do, or spend their energy and the entire gross national product doing nothing useful, but telling everyone else how to run their lives.
That they didn’t speaks more to our First Amendment than anything else.
