A town official in Maine was visited by the Secret Service Tuesday after posting a message to Facebook referring to President Barack Obama with a racial slur and calling for him to be shot. David Marsters, a retired Massachusetts police officer and a candidate for selectman in Sabattus, Maine, posted a photo of Obama along with a link to a story about a Republican push to impeach the president at 8:17 p.m. Friday, writing "Shoot the N-----" above it. Marsters said after his Facebook post was flagged to local law enforcement by other residents, he was visited by both the Secret Service and the CIA." I might have used the wrong words. ... I didn't say I was going to do it," he said. "I should have said, 'I hope the bastard dies.'"
