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.

Promises are just words to a Leftist. The words they say at the moment mean nothing later on, as those words spoken before are now old words that did what they wanted those words to do back when they said them. The Leftist is amazed that anybody would hold them to their old words NOW.
To a Leftist everything is a tool to gain what they want including words.
One must never, never, never, ever believe what a Leftist says, and never, ever negotiate with one. The result of any negotiation is they win, you lose, BECAUSE they lie.
I'd hope we didn't need to follow him around but it should be possible to find beater cars pret' near everywhere now.
Let's see the city of Los Angeles take the side of "occupiers" over legitimate permit-getting, fee-paying, law-abiding, citizens and businesses of the city.
If these "occupy" mobs continue to disrupt the legitimate daily goings on of the people, these same people will start to question why they are paying their taxes and fees at all, if they are just going to get pushed to side for it in the end.

I doubt the "Occupy....." crowd has fully considered what a disruption might cost them.
She looks like a real phlunte!
He’s been at Princeton for a while.
True, and for some strange reason, Princeton decided to "beef up" its black studies department with him.
Personally, I'd consider it a disservice to the real faculty, not to mention the students that would have to put up with his antics regardless of any and all transgressions of that clown.
I suppose it screams "Poverty Pimping Grifting Pays!", and why not, considering the tuition Princeton charges for shortchanging its students by watering down the quality of the faculty and expectations of the students. (Anybody take two minutes to read Muchelle's thesis?)
If you are planning to go to the parade go to your icebox and remove any eggs you have there set them outside to ripen up and take them with you for the Post paraders.
Cornel West is crazy as a junk yard rat... a black one..
He’s Noam Chomski’s b!tch...
I'm sure West has no illusions
Progressive Religion is the religion of haSatan.

So the nuttiest, leftist academician in America (and that’s saying a lot) supports radical leftist attempts to cause problems. So where’s the surprise?
Cornel will no longer be “occupying” Princeton as he is returning to his roots at Union Theological Seminary.
The All Saints church in Pasadena is Episcopal. I used to have several “progressive,” wealthy co-workers who attended that church. Other friends have left it and joined the Catholic church.
Progressive Religion = terrorist mosque
Great opportunity for anti-occupy folks in the L.A. area. Just bring lots of rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs (or even not rotten ones) with you to the parade and hang around until, you know, the “Occupy” portion of the parade, and then, you know, directly express your feelings about the .000000000001%!
