Sponsors and government officials marched away from the Puerto Rican Day Parade on Monday — with the New York Yankees, JetBlue and even the city’s top cop ditching the event over its decision to honor a deadly terror organization’s kingpin.
Police Commissioner James O’Neill cited the bloodshed caused by the Puerto Rican nationalist group once run by Oscar López Rivera, who will be hailed at the June 11 march by the organizers of the annual celebration.

I wonder if the gay mafia will boycott the parade.
Any support for the Clintons honors such terrorism because that’s who pardoned them.
Osama never participated in an Al Qeada attack too. Hitler made sure he was never directly associated with the Final Solution.
Only the non-PR ones................
Deed Puerto Rico to the Chinese in exchange for them assuming its debt.
The Speaker of the NYC City Council was outside his house when he was freed by order of Obama in an 11th hour commutation of sentence. She hugged him like he was a rock star
The FALN did 100 bombings in the 70’s and early 80’s on US soil and killed 6 people under this terrorist’s order. One NYC detective lost an eye while trying to disarm a FALN bomb.
Yet, as usual a terrorist is celebrated by Democrats. Another pathetic exhibition by fringe lunatic liberals from Obama on down.
(with yesterday as a timely comparison/backdrop)

never got the Puerto rico thing....So if the want to be independent.. let them.. we dont want them... it the people in puerto rico that vote to stay...let the revolutionaries in Puerto Rico blow up their own people that’s the problem
The irony of the name Puerto Rico is lost on many. It should be renamed to Puerto Pobre. LOL
Yet they are trying to destroy Columbus Day, a celebratory day for one of the most patriotic groups to ever come to America.
Makes sense.
The Democrats always planned for Puerto Rico to become a state so they could get two more seats in the U.S. Senate.
The Republicans should want Puerto Rico independent—but they don’t—the stupid party in action.

The GOPe wants what the Democrats want, a big corrupt government and a washed out middle class unable to hold dirty politicians accountable.
The reptilian Rahm Emanuel, mayor of the declining City of Chicago, radical Marxist, US Representative Luis Guitierrez, and the supine Chicago City Council chose to honor this terrorist as “a freedom fighter” and designated a honorary street for the bomber in a public park.
Sickening!
The difficulty is that independence means foregoing the generous welfare benefits doled out by the US government, so Puerto Rican nationalist movements talk a big game, but never get any traction as the people refuse to give up the benefits and subsidies. Puerto Rico’s economy is in shambles.
Yet the Womens Day Parade is still looked upon favorably even tho’ terrorists and murderers were guests of honor.

I hope they can still get Anthony Weiner before he leaves. He was all on board.
