    Pa. Newspaper Ad Calls For Obama Assassination

    Pa. Newspaper Ad Calls For Obama Assassination - San Diego News Story - KGTV San Diego

    Newspaper 'Apologizes For The Oversight'

    POSTED: 10:57 am PDT May 29, 2009
    UPDATED: 11:47 am PDT May 29, 2009
    WARREN, Pa. -- A northwestern Pennsylvania newspaper is apologizing for running a classified advertisement calling for the assassination of President Barack Obama.

    Warren Times Observer Publisher John Elchert said 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 told The Associated Press that the newspaper's advertising staff didn't make the historical connection.

    He said the 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 said the newspaper "apologizes for the oversight."

    Clearly they meant the car brand, the cartoon character, the mountain and Senator Ted Kennedy.
