Occupy Rose Parade Protesters Form “Peacekeeping” Force…
I’m sure the U.N. has some extra blue helmets they can borrow.
(LA Times) — Occupy the Rose Parade activists said they had assembled a “peacekeeping” team to thwart members who might try to cause trouble during the event.
A team of about 36 Occupy protesters will, in three groups, march with the Occupy procession at the end of the Rose Parade to self-police and prevent violence or disturbance of the parade itself.
Hundreds of activists gathered in Pasadena’s Singer Park to prepare for their stroll down the parade route on Colorado Boulevard. The group will carry a 70-foot by 40-foot “float” made of recycled plastic bags and titled “Occupy Octopus” during their demonstration following the parade.
The Ocuppy the Rose Parade movement has emphasized its goal of keeping Monday’s march peaceful.
Julio Toruno, 57, of Altadena spent hours spray-painting the peacekeeping group’s fluorescent yellow vests, which says “99” on the front and back to represent the 99% of Americans who are not among the nation’s wealthiest, according to protesters.

so much positive media attention… for these anarchists
its really disturbing how the TEA Party was so maligned
but it does show the commiecrat agenda is getting clearer all the time
These dumbass goons are going to have a hell of a time “arresting” themselves
Ah, the Obamavillers at it again– trying to get an early jump on the Republican primaries?
These rats really think they can bring down the government and collapse the system ..
Seditious Democrats!!
Nice try dirtbags……..your die has already been cast.
OWS Peacekeeping Team = Obama’s Private Civilian Army.
Asking the OWS Rioters to police themselves is like asking Holder’s DOJ to investigate itself.
In Novemebr, these very same people will be outside polling places to “enforce” the peace, just like Barry’s New Black Panthers did last election.
I hope they ruin the parade. That’s what it will take for the people to understand who the OWS really is.
The plan is to down-twinkle the violent into submission. I’m stocking up on popcorn.
I hate those stupid masks they wear
Bullshit. That security force is there to protect the protesters from the police and angry civilians. $10 says there’s bloodshed.
If all the violent and peace-keeping OWSers just stayed home, it would make things so much simpler.
…and what would the left’s reaction be if the Tea Party said they would have a self-appointed security force at their rallies?
It was great to see that all the TV broadcasts never mentioned this Occupy activity, and as soon as the last float past through, they all ended their presentations of the parade.
What was quite noticeable when you looked down Orange Grove to the back, you could already see police Motorcyles and a large tow truck bringing up the rear while those who had watched the parade from the sidelines crowded in to the back as has always happened in the past. I could be wrong but having worked the parade for nearly 20 years, my gut feeling was that the occupy characters where blocked out at the end.
OCCUPYERS NEED TO GO AWAY
I just want to bop every one of these idiots wearing a “V” mask. YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME.
Was their float that giant turd that we saw a couple weeks ago?
Just saw the newer story about the protesters crashing the parade with their home made pile of crap float. Did they stick to their original plan of trotting it out after the parade went by? Or did they actually “crash” the parade sooner?
Every time I see one of those idiot masks,
I get a hankerin’ for a little Primus-
So I kissed him up side the cranium with that aluminum baseball bat,
My name is Mud………..m-m-m-m-m-m-mud……
Holiday Peculiarities on CNN and in the Church of England
We’re in the midst of what some call the silly season which is often less silly than it is peculiar, unsettling, and scary. When former NBAer Dennis Rodman announces he’s assembling a topless women’s basketball team, it can be considered just another Rodman oddity.
Other oddities are much more bothersome.
When a Northeastern University Muslim chaplain, Abdullah Faaruuq, who advocates using “the gun and the sword” to advance Islam in America, is subsidized with American taxpayer dollars, it’s outrageous, not silly.
When Bill Maher can get away with tweeting, “Wow, Jesus just f*cked TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve!” it’s obscenely offensive.
When the Rose Bowl Committee chucks time-honored tradition and permits OWS crazies to render farcical the Rose Bowl Parade, it’s a sign people have lost their minds.
Still, the holidays also have lighter moments: Home celebrations and office holiday parties sometimes deteriorate into odd events where Uncle Harold dons a lampshade and the 70 year old boss hits on the 22 year old intern. They are somewhat excusable due the effects of over-indulging in holiday cheer–and booze.
However, Uncle Harold’s excessive celebration and the boss’s befuddlement don’t hold a candle or a bottle to ostensibly sober instances of asinine behavior in the television world and, of all places, in the Church of England.
New Year’s festivities on that bulwark of propriety, CNN, capped off this season’s excursions into the bizarre.
Hosted Saturday night by an exceptionally odd couple–staid, light in the loafers newsperson, Anderson Cooper, and foul-mouthed comedienne, Kathy Griffin–the cablecast featured a Griffin performance which she began by tickling her co-host and asking about his “nether regions.”
It got better.
As revelers reveled in Times Square, the exhibitionist Griffin didn’t drop an F-bomb as she did last year and instead dropped her clothes, stripping down to her Victoria Secret bests and prancing about for the crowd just minutes before the ball dropped and Cooper’s jaw pretended to drop.
Cooper quickly flashed a “NO NUDITY” sign–evidence that the act was staged–and complimented her “hot body.” That observation must be qualified by Cooper’s unfamiliarity with female bodies, hot or not, and by the fact Griffin’s body can be described as “hot” only by Griffin or by the visually-challenged.
David Rodham-Gergen called in and Griffin suggestively invited the RINO–and his wife–to call her before, mercifully, putting her clothes back on.
Classy journalism, CNN, even for New Year’s Eve!
I missed it because I was trying to get Uncle Harold to wear a hat in lieu of the lampshade but readers can view CNN’s odd couple in action on my blogsite.
Neither Kathy Griffin nor Anderson Cooper are very entertaining but, in their defense, they try, however lamely. The Church of England’s current Archbishop of Canterbury, doesn’t try at all to entertain yet, in a sick sense, is wildly hilarious. . .
