Obama Assassination Poll - Right Wing Plot!
71
Apparently, over the weekend of September 26th and 27th, someone posted a poll on Facebook asking the following question: Should Obama Be Killed? The Secret Service is naturally taking this poll very seriously and Facebook removed the poll on Monday morning. The possible answers to this poll were; “No”, “Maybe”, “Yes” and “Yes, if he cuts my healthcare”. Facebook features third party applications like polling much the same way HubPages does. The Secret Service had e-mailed Facebook Monday to remove the poll but Facebook had already done that by the time they got the message.
So, it’s in the news today. It’s a big deal that someone that failed their “Internet Polling and Survey Etiquette Training Class” posted the absolute worst question that could be imagined in the era of Messiah—er, President Obama, the most beloved President in the history of the world. Ok, United States. Ok, Illinois. Ok, Chicago - but you get my point. You just don’t do stuff like this in today’s world. Ok, today’s America. Ok, today’s United States. Ok, today’s Administration. Ok, today’s Media either – But you get my point.
Ok, ok, anyway, it’s clear that the Obama Administration needs to take drastic steps to curb this kind of behavior on the part of those “Right Wing Extremists” that clearly stepped over the line with this despicable poll. Why, If I ever get my hands on……… What? Wait? Why? What do you mean how do I know that it was a “Right Wing Extremist” that posted this poll? Well, that’s easy. Just ask Bob Beckel, Democratic Party strategist and Fox News Analyst. He’ll tell you and make no bones about it.
A Fox News article posted on their website Monday quoted Ol’ Bob making the following statements:
“This is the kind of garbage that's generated from the extreme right against Obama, and it's going way over the line," Beckel told FOXNews.com. "It's got to be stopped. Find him, prosecute him and put him in jail."
"If they don't like what Obama is doing, then maybe they ought to go out and vote for someone else," he said. "But relying on this kind of attack is un-American and unacceptable."
Way to go Bob! Wow! You’re some kinda Dick Tracy aren’t you? I mean, While the Secret Service is still tryin’ to find their asses with both hands and a mirror, you (you Sherlock Holmes you) have already solved this case! Amazing! But hey! You should know a right wing extremist when you see one with your political background.
You worked on Bob Kennedy’s Campaign in 1968. You were Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Jimmy Carter’s administration, Walter Mondale’s campaign manager in 1984. Yep, pretty impressive credentials, Bob. If anyone would know a “Right Wing Extremist” when he saw one, it would be you, Bob. But - that’s just the problem, isn’t it Bob? You haven’t seen a “Right Wing Extremist”, in fact, no one has. This poll was put on Facebook by somebody, but we don’t know the politics or the mindset of that person yet.
Another fine example of the level of intelligence that supports the policies of this current administration. You have, all by yourself, determined it was a “Right Wing Extremist” that put this ill advised poll on Facebook. I mean gee, couldn’t have been a 13 year old that thought it was funny, right Bob? Or, maybe a Neo-con? Or maybe someone from another country, uh, you do know that someone from another country can access Facebook right Bob? And of course Bob, this means if they don’t like what Obama is doing then they can’t go out and vote for someone else, hell, they can’t vote in America at all Bob, Right? Uh, you do know that, right Bob?
But hell Bob, I understand your frustration at those Tea Baggin’ Birthers; those Census Worker killin’ – oops, sorry Bob, they haven’t caught who did that either. But I bet you know, don’t you big boy. I bet you’d tell me whoever hung that poor man in the woods had to be some of those damn Right Wing Extremists, right Bob?
Here’s what’s really bothering me Bob. It’s that careless and baseless accusations such as the one made by yourself today are becoming the norm in the current administration. That if I want to attend a Tea Bag protest, or believe in the second amendment, or believe that the Constitution meant what it said about limiting the power of the Federal Government, that this somehow makes me an “extremist”. That if I don’t want the Federal Government intruding on my privacy, increasing my taxes and dictating my health care choices that also makes me an “extremist.” Because that word is the same word being used by members of the Obama Administration about anybody that believes these things. We are a “Mob”. The “Fringe”. We are “Nazi’s”. We are “un American”. And all this because we didn’t ask Obama to use our tax dollars to bail out automakers. We didn’t ask Obama to force Government Run Healthcare down our throats. We didn’t ask for “Cap and Trade”. What we do ask is for the Obama administration to listen to us. But they’re not having any of it. They are too busy trying to ram policy down our collective throats to let ordinary American citizens distract them from their holy self appointed mission.
So, bob, there you have it. I believe in all of the things I listed here, and that makes me a “Special interest group” as I’ve heard the citizens expressing outrage at Townhall meetings called. But take heart Bob! I have a plan I think will prevent anything like this abominable poll from happening in the future. All we need to do is ask Obama to appoint an Internet Poll Czar! That’s right, and you could be the first one. Think of the work you would save the Secret Service. Anytime something like this comes on the internet you simply have to point at the nearest flag waving American and have them detained. Sounds great ‘eh Bob? There’s a position that would really let you stretch your wings as a left wing commentator. You could throw around Jerry Springer style lines like today’s whenever you felt the need to whip the “real” Americans into action against those pesky “Right Wing Extremists”. (Not my words Bob, yours.)
But, I’m afraid I won’t have time to follow your meteoric career Bob, I’ll be too busy hunting with Ted Nugent and watching Wrestling on TV. Cause that’s what us redneck, uneducated extremists do with our time.
But, Bob, I’m gonna laugh my ass off if the creator of that poll turns out to be a bored 12 year old.
Take the Poll!
Should Bob Beckel be the next "Internet Poll Czar"?

Hey hey hey! Don't you keep up? It's NOT okay for us sheeple to jump to conclusions and stereotype others, but remember, if you're an extreme left liberal (I know, Department of Redundancy Department), you have complete latitude to say and do what you want, because, hell, you're rich and powerful and you can pee on the floor of the oval office if you want, because it's YOURS.
What? What do you mean the "people"? Sheesh, don't pin me down man, the people elected us to run this country and they know they've given is complete power and latitude to do whatever WE want.
So lay off Bob, he's just doing his job :-)
Just to be clear, I loved your article and the above comments were pure sarcasm in support of your hub. I love it!
What I don't love is how the left are turning the actions and responses of the W. Bush administration around, like they are "getting us back," with it. What a bunch of losers. They destroy while the conservatives build.
Jiberish - You're right and I thought about that as I wrote the hub. we'll probably never know if that's the case. Thanks for the comments!
Alexander Mark - LOL your comments are funnier than My Hub! And dead on the mark. The Liberals reactions as though they have the power and we don't matter is a hub all by itself. Thanks for the comments!
Stupid and irresponsible posting on Facebook. Stupid and irresponsible accusations. I can't keep up with all the lunatics in and out of Washington.
I am a right wing extremist, a neo con, un american, nazi and part of the tea bagger, birther, mob mentality the left is so fearful of. Proud of it too!
Good hub!
Awesome hub! Its not facebook's fault either. There are so many ways for someone to make a poll like that.
Great hub der sir! I just created a new t-shirt which, is a little extreme, but reads: "I am a Christian and proud to be an "evil right-wing extremist." After all, we are responsible for most of the violent crime in the U.S. I am facetious and you my friend are 'stupid.'" You can follow the link from my profile if you'd like. GBU -- oops the "left" probably thinks that I've bestowed some George W. blessing upon you -- they are, for the most part, mostly brain-dead and I'm sick of our not pulling their plug. They almost never bring numbers to their arguments; so I've stopped listening, and started creating. Take care,
A cowboy from South Dakota
So tell me what were the results?
Liberals are what? LOL
No I'm not starting a new poll.
Thanks for all the comments so far! To see the poll results, simply click on the blue words "see results without voting" and it will show you. thanks again for all the great comments! This was a bit of a rant since I feel that the new administration's overall agenda has to do with far more than bailouts and healthcare and that part of that agenda is to paint everyday middle class conservative Americans as "Extremists". This is a radical departure from our history and signals a paradigm shift in American politics. I think more should be made of the cavalier manner in which ordinary and patriotic Americans are being made out to be possible (or probable) terrorists.
Wrong poll, lol
I'm still laughing... keeps from crying. Great hub.
As a card-carrying member of the right-wing extremist party - I salute you (and thanks for posting a link to my hub :) I find it very interesting how the subject of this poll keeps coming up. I've seen speculation like this before - just makes me wonder why I keep seeing it. Great hub - very amusing :)
John,
WOW! I am sorry you found it so difficult to convey your opinions! You should work on that!! (sarcasm, OK?)
I so appreciate everything you wrote, problem is that anyone who would read this is a "right wing extremist" and in that it means that no one in control of our lives will.
Yesterday our esteemed Keith Olberman (he's esteemed, just ask him) said that because we would rather our President deal with national security and the well-being of our troops being pounded into the ground instead of cavorting with Olympic decision makers we are anti-Olympic.
This is just getting sad.
Kate - LOL Esteemed, that's funny. Yes the Olympic Games are far more important than anything the administration is currently grappling with. I'm sure they need a distraction right now and this is the best they could come up with. Thanks for the comments!
Wow. I can't believe you all think it was such a big nothing. Some jackass posts a poll about assassinating the president and that doesn't give you the creeps, at least for a moment?
At best it was just an asinine joke by someone with an IQ under 50. Let's hope that's all it was. But at worst, there's some gun-loving nutcase out there who saw the poll (or wrote it) and he's stockpiling ammo for his Uzi as I'm typing.
With all the tension and hate being built up and spread around by Beck and "Christian" evangelists, I hope that SOME conservatives realize an assassination poll just might mean the rightwing extremists are seriously buying into all the Beck crap. And don't kid yourselves, that kind of hatred is dangerous.
Sara - Thanks for the comments. Please note that this article is not about the poll or the rightness or wrongness of it - it is about a left wing commentator automatically labeling the perpetrator a "Right Wing Extremist" before we even know who did it. This kind of carelessness on the part of media and administration wonks is also very dangerous.
I agree with you, John. As a media personality Bob should know better than to make a careless assumption on the air. He was wrong to say what he did.
But for the record I'm guilty of thinking he's correct about the whodunnit. Gadzooks, that makes me no better than him, doesn't it? I'd much prefer the guilty party to be some harmless jerk with too much time on his or her hands. It seems unlikely (to me) that a 12 year old would care enough to comment on health care, let alone contemplate an assassination scenario. But you never know anymore -- and how scary is that?
Sara, no guilt for you here! Suspecting it and declaring it to a television audience are two different things. You're ok in my book. Thanks for the comment.
If an adult was responsible for having posted the poll; even a teenager, they should be jailed. I didn't vote for Obama and I don't agree with many of his policies but he is our president.
Tackle - Thanks for the comment! I don't know about jailing someone for this. That's a whole other Hub!
Interesting hub. Check out WWW.GOOOH.com you may do well. non-partisan
I believe most NORMAL people stand on a plateau, right, middle and left.The extremist left and right fell off into weirdism. [I know, it's a mad up word but it fits.] REF
I am not lost on your point about the left's agenda: To label anyone who doesn't agree with them as Evil right-wing extremists."
Let's see if the left can tackle one of my latest points, shall we?
I am a Christian and proud to be an "Evil right-wing extremist." After all we are responsible for most of the violent crime in the United States. I am facetious and you my "friend" are stupid.
God's rapture is coming upon us, repent for the time is nigh. No longer can our Lord and Savior allow his children any more suffering.
Those who endured the hardships of life and live a good life will be spared the earth's use for the final battle between good and evil. It's time. God is upon on us and His works will be done.
Repent. Love and appreciate what is left before it will no longer exist. Our world will end as we know it but first will require the last contest of good versus evil. There will be so much misery.
Repent as the time is close.

If it turned out to be a bored 12yr old, it wouldn't make the news, besides how credible can Bob be, just look who he worked for. Funny Hub!
