The official Web site of the Sacramento County Republican Party compared Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama to terrorist leader Osama bin Laden and urged people to “Waterboard Barack Obama.”
Images promoting the comparison have been removed from the site. The Sacramento Bee reported that the Web site showed Obama in a turban next to bin Laden, the al-Qaida leader, and said: “The difference between Osama and Obama is just a little B.S.”
County Republican Chairman Craig McGlashan did not immediately respond to a telephone message left at his law office by The Associated Press on Wednesday.
A spokesman for the state Republican Party, Hector Barajas, said the party asked Sacramento GOP officials on Tuesday to remove the material.
