Suburban Obama delegate quits over 'divisive' remark

Good lord, here we go again. A latino woman was WAS an Obama delegate is not anymore. Why? Because she told some kids to "get out of the tree, ya monkeys" or how ever she said it.
She was worried that they would get hurt. But the kids were black and the mother decided it was a racial slur.
The woman was FINED and she was asked to step down by the Obama campaign. This is ridiculous. I can almost understand the mother thinking her neighbor might have meant to make a racial slur. Apparently they do not get along. But this would have been the time for Obama to stand up and say "hey, this woman is a supporter of my campaign. She would not be supporting me if she was a racist"
But he did not, instead they threw her under the bus. She is Latino, she probably doesn't even know the historical context of that word as applied to African Americans in this country.
