NPR: Blogger (TPC) Gets Credit For Blowing Whistle On Vile Poll

By GottaLaff

NPR, thank you. Seriously, thank you:

A blog called The Political Carnival is getting credit this afternoon for calling out the ridiculous "Should Obama be killed?" poll that showed up on Facebook over the weekend (and is now being investigated by the U.S. Secret Service).

GottaLaff, one of the blog's authors, pointed out the offensive post last evening. Today, says GottaLaff, the Secret Service tracked her down to say thanks for having posted a screen grab of the poll.

Facebook, the company, had nothing to do with the poll, according to spokesman Barry Schnitt. It's no longer on the site.

NPR. Link. Go. Give them hits. They deserve it.
