That’s interesting!

ABout the woman and her politics and her activism.. Ha, ha.

I love it when liberals get hoisted on their own petard.

Ha, ha, again.

And I’d like to know more about the Obama thing... was she asked to resign or what.

When I first read the story, I was appalled at her being given a ticket based on an innocent word. I also wondered at why she would take it upon herself to butt into a situation like that with parents watching.

It’s beginning to sound like justice for all.

“I also wondered at why she would take it upon herself to butt into a situation like that with parents watching.”

I got the impression that she felt she was sticking up for the landlord. These people were renters and perhaps she felt they were going to damage the tree of her former neighbor, and possible friend. Nevertheless, she should have called the landlord rather than trying to handle it herself. That said, the reaction was ridiculous.

Right! She was cited for disorderly conduct which is apparently a village ordinance. IF this ticket is allowed to stand, it could also bring about a lawsuit for hate speech. The ACLU from Chicago has already weighed in..guess on who side??

I agree she should have minded her own business, but for the cops to be brought in, is just scary. If the neighbor had just stated to her that she was offended and left it at that, I don’t think we would even know about this today, but the police were called. The biggest “mistake” she made after that was allowing herself to be pressured into resigning her delegate seat for innocent speech. She has now admitted guilt...at least according to the Obama campaign by stepping down. Can you say scapegoat?

When does this stop? Who gets to judge whether or not I or anyone else is a victim of hate speech? Where is the evidence? I will be watching how this goes in court in front of a judge. Will the ACLU be there? Will a criminal complaint be filed after this?

Truly horrifying!
