BOSTON, Aug. 17 (UPI) -- A Massachusetts gubernatorial campaign said it deleted from its Web site a photo of a supporter in a T-shirt that compared President Obama to Adolf Hitler.
The camp of Republican Charles D. Baker said in Boston it was initially unaware of the posting with the photo and said Gov. Deval Patrick's campaign aides were going out of their way to find fault with the Baker campaign, The Boston Globe reported Tuesday.
The photo, taken down Monday, was labeled "MassGOP Summer BBQ," and showed a woman wearing a T-shirt that had pictures of Obama and Hitler, a swastika, and Obama's campaign logo. The shirt bore the words: "Hitler gave good speeches and had his own symbol too," the Globe reported.
The posting was one of many on a Flickr page controlled by Baker's campaign, the Globe said.
Patrick's campaign said the posting indicated Baker is courting his party's fringe elements. UPI
