MILWAUKEE – Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has fired a campaign aide for making demeaning comments about Hispanics on social media.
Walker ousted Taylor Palmisano as his campaign's deputy finance director Tuesday. The Republican governor made the move after No Quarter contacted his campaign about the tweets.
In a March 2011 tweet, Palmisano referred as a custodian in a library where she was working as "illegal" and said "turn off your Walkman."

No, a scapegoat - that's the republican way. Rememer Tricky Dicky was not a crook (just a thief, lyer and cheat) - he didn't do the dirtly work only hired people to.

OP,
Your source is 'thinkprogress.org'.
This is one of the groups that was working on getting the recall vote to get Walker out of office - it has major sponsorship from the unions who were most effected when he balanced the Wisconsin budget.
Thinkprogress is known for publishing blatantly false stories.
The source has no credit and neither does your post - sorry about that OP.
Edit to add, the woman who sent this out was fired for this and for her crazy racist tweets. Seems she was working against him from the inside intentionally. Check the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for more info.edit on 3-12-2013 by EvenParanoidsHaveEnemies because: found more stuff
And more importantly, in reading through Palmisano's twitter page it is clear that many other members of Walker's staff were regularly communicating back-and-forth via twitter with Palmisano. The notion that they had no idea about Palmisano's racist tendencies doesn't pass the smell test-- especially considering that only a few months ago, another Walker aide was fired for similar social media situation where he called undocumented Hispanics "the Devil" and defended a bumper sticker that advocated hunting and killing of them.
Clearly, there is a very ugly underbelly of racism within the organization and this type of institutional culture starts at the top --with Walker. Keep in mind that this is the same Scott Walker that has made a career of race baiting on issues like welfare reform, voter fraud and a wide variety of criminal issues. In fact Walker, is soooooo comfortable with racist jokes that he not only told one to his staff, but he put the "joke" in his book, where he says, "one of the top ten ways you can identify a public sector union member: You know by having a copy of the Holy Koran on your desk your job is 100% safe."
