English-Only Advocates Whine and Moan Under Misspelled Banner

This is pretty hilarious. A few points:

1. If you're going to pay for a professionally printed banner, you should spell-check both your input and the finished product (whether you do it yourself or have someone else do it).

2. If you're going to have a conference where attendees are likely to be endorsing "official language" (English) and English-only policies, #1 above is at least twice as important if you wish to avoid looking like a complete dumb-ass.
And if Pat Buchanan is at your conference, you can be pretty sure both of those topics will come up (in addition to a bunch of other racist ****).

3. If the error had been spotted, even at the last minute, a nice blue felt marker would have been better than nothing, I think - again, especially considering the context.
