Cornel West backs Occupy the Rose Parade
Los Angeles Times ^ | 12/19/11 | Rong-Gong Lin II and Joe Piasecki

Liberal professor Cornel West told a Pasadena church Sunday that he backs an Occupy the Rose Parade demonstration, a newspaper reported Monday.

The noted academic, who previously taught at Harvard University, was speaking at All Saints Church to discuss "The Role of Progressive Religion in the Occupy Movement" when he made the comments.

"Any time you get a chance to bear witness for justice, I support that," the Pasadena Star-News quoted him as saying. "If I was around Jan. 2, I would be a part of it."

...

Protesters who plan a post-parade march down Colorado Boulevard have promised not to disrupt the main Rose Parade event, while police have agreed to treat demonstrators fairly as long as they keep their word, according to the Pasadena Sun.

"We want to make sure this is completely nondisruptive to the main parade," said Occupy the Rose Parade organizer Peter Thottam.

"We're going to work with [Occupy the Rose Parade] to ensure that the parade goes smoothly and they have the opportunity to have their voice," said Pasadena Police Department spokeswoman Lt. Phlunte Riddle.

this is disgusting -— the scumbags can ‘express’ themselves anytime but they have to glom onto publicity for the Rose Parade like the parasite scumbags they are.....

They occupy and hate all things American these days. And they have the full support of their anti-American resident.

"The Role of Progressive Religion in the Occupy Movement"

Its to provide religious cover for a marxist revolution that would be palatable to the theologically deficient Christian Left.

Progressive religion is an oxymoron.

He talks the talk but when it’s time to walk he’s not going to be around on Jan. 2? Where is he going to be? Aspen? Btw, there are a lot of horses in the Parade of Roses. A LOT of horses. Bring’em by Occupy just before the protesters arrive. It worked for the Boston Tactical Patrol when the Hippies used to go to City Hall Plaza. A nice draggin’ through the hoss bleep made my heart feel like an alligator for them.

A big joke on West would be to arrange to "Occupy Cornel West's Parking Space".

He's living in Harvard owned property so that means his parking space is "controlled".

The way you do this is every time he leaves you roll a broken down beater car into his space.

You can get these things at junk yards without needing a "title".

Do that a few times and he'll reconsider this infatuation he has with "Occupy......".

He’s not at Harvard anymore. He quit when Larry Summers suggested he “occupy” a classroom and earn his pay.
