An errant classified "personal" ad which appeared in Thursday's Times Observer has drawn the attention of law enforcement officials.
A person from Warren placed the ad, which apparently alludes to the wish that President Obama meet an untimely end by linking him with four assassinated presidents. The ad representative didn't make the connection among the four other presidents mentioned and mistakenly allowed the ad to run.
Upon realizing the mistake early Thursday morning, the ad was immediately discontinued and the identity of the person who placed the ad was turned over to Warren City Police as per newspaper policy. The local police department forwarded the information to federal authorities, as per department policy.
The Times Observer apologizes for the oversight.
What the hell is the Times Observer's hiring policy, anyway?
A newspaper employee wasn't able to make a connection to this wording: "May Obama follow in the steps of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy!"
That's one helluva news organization they have in Warren, PA.
Where was the editor? Clinging to guns and religion?
