Classified ad calling for Obama's assassination draws law enforcement

By GottaLaff

Yesterday I posted about an ad that was, well, so wrong that it couldn't be any wronger. We've all been waiting for the sequel, and here it is:

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.

Where was this person schooled? Wait. Let me rephrase that. Was this person ever schooled?

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.

Apologies don't explain the ignorance of a newspaper employee. Apologies don't suppress hateful racist messages. Apologies don't keep the president safe.
