"GOP clerk apologizes for 'black Hitler' posts
'Never intended to offend anyone,' she says of online attack at Obama
FRANKLIN, Ind. - A Republican county clerk in Indiana said she apologized for distributing to two of her employees an Internet blog posting referring to Barack Obama as a "young, black Adolf Hitler."
According to a police report, the employees discovered printouts of the unsigned post at their desks after returning from Labor Day weekend. They had both voted for Obama in the Democratic primary.
Johnson County Clerk Jill Jackson told The Associated Press that she was merely passing along an item that already was circulating in the office and that she "never intended to offend anyone."
The posting does not mention Obama by name but refers to events in his life that make it clear Obama is the target.
Local Republican Party officials call the incident unacceptable, saying it taints Jackson's ability to appear unbiased in administering this year's election.

To get rid of her?
Ok, this woman should NOT have distributed this post in her office, but why is there A POLICE REPORT on this matter ?
Are we now reporting workplace violations to the POLICE ?????????????
You know, the kid "was" using his freedom of speech to call the teacher a bad word - BUT the school has rules and regulations and it is "their" right to give the kid a 3 day vacation or however long they attach to such a violation of school rules and "show him the door" for the alloted amount of time.
Then what do you say to the references in the cartoon "The Family Guy" that has a skit where Hitler and his army are wearing McCain/Palin buttons?
