Another Liberal Caught Up In Their Own Political Correctness

It sure is fun to watch liberals get taken down by the aura of political correctness they and their fellow travelers fought so hard to errect. The latest is an Obama delegate who used the term “monkies” to describe children of the darker persuation playing in a tree:

CARPENTERSVILLE, Ill. (AP) - An Illinois delegate for Democratic Sen. Barack Obama resigned after using the word “monkeys” to describe black children playing in a tree, the Obama campaign said Tuesday.

Linda Ramirez-Sliwinski, a trustee in the Chicago suburb of Carpentersville, was issued a $75 ticket for disorderly conduct after neighbors complained to police. She says the word wasn’t meant racially and she will fight the ticket.

“Given the incident, Linda Ramirez-Sliwinski is stepping down as a delegate and will be replaced,” said Obama spokeswoman Amy Brundage.

The incident occurred Saturday, when two children were playing in a tree next door to Ramirez-Sliwinski’s house.

She said the parents were outside supervising the children, but she went over and told them to get out of the tree because she was concerned about the boys’ safety and because the small magnolia tree was being damaged.

The father of one of the boys told her it was none of her business, she told the Chicago Tribune, and “I calmly said the tree is not there for them to be climbing in there like monkeys.”

Of course she meant nothing racial by it. I actually believe her. But saddly in this day and age your fellow travelers have created an environment where if you refer to children climbing in trees like monkeys as “monkeys” and one of them is black, the book is thrown at you.

And, if it’s any consolation if you had refered to them as something else, like say hanging in the tree like a bunch of bananas, then liberals would have taken offense to that too. Heck, if you have simply called them “children” some liberal would have probably said, “what do you mean by that!”
