MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - A campaign skirmish flared this week in Minnesota over a bumper sticker comparing President Bush (news - web sites) to Adolf Hitler that was briefly on display at the local Democratic Party headquarters.
Minnesota Republicans called the bumper stickers -- which read "Bush/Cheney -- Most Hated World Leaders Since Hitler" -- "a repulsive smear." A Republican campaign worker asked for and received one of the stickers at the opposition party's headquarters earlier this week.
The bumper stickers were not placed into circulation but one campaign worker "unwittingly" left a stack of them on an office counter for two hours before they were removed, said Democratic party spokeswoman Tonya Tennessen on Thursday.
Republican objections were an "attempt to distract, distort," she said.
The bumper stickers were mailed by a Bush opponent in New Hampshire, the St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper reported.
