Paper says mistakenly ran ad urging Obama killing: Reuters
Saturday, May 30, 2009 at 9:53AM PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A local newspaper in northwest Pennsylvania apologized on Friday for running a classified advertisement that called implicitly for the assassination of U.S. President Barack Obama.
The Warren Times Observer, with a circulation of about 11,000, ran the ad in Thursday's paper and pulled it as soon as it was discovered by a manager, said publisher John Elchert.
The ad read: "May Obama follow in the footsteps of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy," Elchert said.
Elchert declined to identify the person who placed the ad, and said he had referred the case to local police, who notified the Secret Service. more
