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."

3. Apology?? I don't think so. Fire her ass.
A government employee using taxpayer owned computers for campaign purposes (let alone the whole slander part of it) is totally illegal.
