"The only Hispanic on the board, Ramirez-Sliwinski has been a strong voice for Carpentersville's 40 percent Hispanic population. She and Village President Bill Sarto opposed an English-only proposition and an ordinance to crack down on illegal immigrants."
Don't you love it when a sancturay city backer gets bounced from Obama's campaign for alleged racial remarks.
Finger pointer should look into a mirror April 7, 2008
"Carpentersville trustee Linda Ramirez Sliwinski, who says shes the Latino leader and has a very bad habit of calling anyone who opposes illegal immigration, as RACISTS and BIGOTS, has shown her true colors. "

Sarto said he hopes Ramirez-Sliwinski will plead "not guilty" to the $75 charge and stay on the board So, it's illegal to say "monkey" now?

She was charged with something and fined? What would she be charged with? I didn't see any other reference to it in the article.

The irony in this story is enough to write a book about.

Good thing she didn’t call them cotton-picking monkeys.

This is so stupid. I used to call my kids “monkeys”.
I was watching Geraldine Ferraro on O’Reilly last night. She was “deeply hurt” by charges of racism over the past few weeks.
I don’t have much sympathy for these libs. They are the ones that started and encouraged this nonsense, and now that it has reached impossible proportions, they are shocked, just shocked.

I guess Mr. Obama has never listened to rap music......a place where very “creative” labels for black americans can be found.

While I can somewhat agree with your premise, I personally am fed up with the PC crap. WE call our own daughters “monkey” and many other names on occasion.
While in this PC world, calling black children “monkeys” when they are climbing a tree would seem innocent, nothing is any more. Rather depressing thought.

I truly wonder what kind of world my kids are going to inherit when I read stories like this.
They will never have the chance to know how good we had it when we were growing up.

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!
I'm glad to see the thought police occasionally nab liberal do-gooders...

“She broke the law! Ask George Orwell.”
...”The idiot liberals betray their incredible inability to reason or be honest through their positions. Think about it. On the one hand they claim their goal is a “color blind” society - yet, at the very same time, they preach preserving every archaic and mostly useless custom, tradition and myth for every culture that comes through America’s broad and welcoming door. Well, which is it, you idiots? Are we all the same? Or is each so uniquely different we need to indulge stupidity like Kwanza, or Cinco de Mayo through national declaration? Because, what you morons haven’t figured out, or won’t admit, is that you can’t have it both ways.”...
