The US Secret Service is trying to identify the people who launched on online poll at Facebook asking whether US President Barack Obama should be assassinated.
Facebook on Mondey shot down the user - generated poll, which was titled "Should Obama be killed?" and offered answer choices of yes, no, maybe, and "if he cuts my heathcare".
"Once we found out about it, we worked with Facebook to have it removed," said Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley.
"We are certainly investigating; just like we would with any threat case."
More than 750 Facebook users had reportedly cast votes by the time the poll, was yanked from the wildly site.
"This is sick and sad," a fAcebook user with the screen name Cocoa Fly sid in a posting on the website.
"All of this anti-Obama rage is pure racism."
