US newspaper ad calls for Obama assassination
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WARREN, Pennsylvania (AP) - A small-town newspaper is apologizing for running a classified advertisement calling for the assassination of President Barack Obama.
Warren Times Observer Publisher John Elchert says the ad appeared Thursday. It read, "May Obama follow in the steps of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy!" The four presidents were all assassinated.
Elchert tells The Associated Press that the newspaper's advertising staff didn't make the historical connection.
He says the northwestern Pennsylvania newspaper turned information over to police and that the Secret Service is investigating the person who placed the ad.
A note in Friday's paper says the newspaper "apologizes for the oversight."
Oversight my ass. I bet Warren, Penn is one of those hick ass counties that went for Clinton in the primary because Obama is an elitest gun hater. I'm sure the people working the Classifieds in Warren aren't the sharpest tacs in the wall but I doubt the gun nut that fooled them is a Rhodes Scholar either. Either way, the newspaper's excuse is like a school bus on a Sunday. I'm not buying it!
