Several years ago, Hillary Clinton told GOOD MORNING AMERICA she believed there was a vast right-wing conspiracy in place with a goal to take down her husband, then President Bill Clinton. Now, former President Clinton has made the identical claim on MEET THE PRESS, saying these same right-wingers are out to get President Obama. WATCH:

And let's just "tell the Truth and shame the devil" DJ…a number of right-wing nuts want to see the President assassinated NOW. How do I know? Because as usual, they tipped their hand!Facebook Poll: 'Should Obama Be Killed?'A Facebook poll — apparently advocating assassination — has cropped up, with the question, "Should Obama be killed?"Pam Spaulding points out the poll on her blog. The answer choices are: Yes, No, If he cuts my health care, and Maybe. These polls are part of an application run by an outside party, not Facebook itself. An ancillary poll has also popped up: "Should the person who created the 'Should Obama be Killed Poll' be arrested?"Late update: The application that hosted these polls has apparently been disabled. The links above now lead to an error message: "The application 'Polls' is temporarily unavailable due to an issue with its third-party developer. We are investigating the situation and apologize for any inconvenience."Late late update: The Secret Service is investigating the incident and asked Facebook to remove the poll, Greg Sargent reports. "We are taking the appropriate investigative steps," said a Secret Service spokesman. "We are aware of it."Late late late update: As far as we can tell, a blog called The Political Carnival first flagged the poll Sunday night and called the Secret Service. Another update: Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt tells TPM that it was not the Secret Service who brought the poll to Facebook's attention, but the social networking site did report it to them.And another update: Schnitt clarifies that the Secret Service asked Facebook today to take down the poll, but it had already been removed.

Thank goodness right-wing NUTS tend to be too STUPID, too crazy and full of sh*t, to keep their mouths shut! We know what they're thinking and what they're up to because they can't resist shootin their mouths off.A TPM reader wrote:Regardless, if prosecution is successful (I would bet a plea bargain would stop it long before it ever was fought shamefully in a "higher court") as long as it exposes the guilty parties to the public!And I disagree with everyone here who seems to think this falls under the 1st amendment right to free speech. Soliciting opinions that mortally threatens ANY elected official is far more egregious than distributing anti-war literature during wartime.Seriously, if anyone is actually tried in court for this, and they attempt to fight it on a 1st Amendment defense, it will become one of the most publicly watched courtroom cases tried since Scopes or Bush V. Gore.Maybe it should happen just that way, If they want to fight this as a 1st amendment issue let me quote the original monkey; "Bring em' on!"
