"On Sunday, a blogger at
The Political Carnival noticed a
user-generated poll on Facebook that asked, "Should Obama be killed?" The blogger wrote about the poll, then called the Secret Service to alert them to it.
The poll, posted Saturday on Facebook, was taken off the popular social networking site quickly after company officials were alerted to its existence.
A Facebook official said the question was created not by the company but by an independent person using an add-on application that has been suspended from the site."
