WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is a statement by U.S. Senator Norm Coleman, regarding John Kerry's Minnesota DFL party's distribution of bumper stickers comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler:

"When I first heard about these outrageous and offensive bumper stickers being distributed at the epicenter of Kerry's Minnesota campaign, I didn't believe it. It is absolutely unconscionable to me that supporters of the Massachusetts Senator think it's a good idea to try and stir the base by making this offensive and outrageous comparison. Someone needs to tell John Kerry that this is not the way we do things in the American heartland. I call on Senator Kerry to renounce the message of these bumper stickers now and demand that their staff stop distributing them now."
