The South Side Irish Parade Returns to Beverly (#OccupySouthSideParade)

CBS Chicago reports:
Thousands of people have gathered to watch floats, marching bands and dancers in Chicago’s South Side Irish Parade. The parade is back after a two-year hiatus that was forced by drunken brawls at the 2009 march. Parade organizers say they’ve beefed up security in an effort to create what they’re calling a family-friendly parade.
The Parade began in 1979 but increasingly it was nothing more than an excuse for young assholes to show up, get drunk and fight.

“I want the South Side Irish Parade that I grew up with back. I don’t want what we’ve had the last few years,” 19th Ward Chicago Alderman Matt O’Shea, who voted to kill the parade in 2009 said last month when faced with Chicago City Hall's decision to grant a permit to hold the Parade.

Laura Bisiules, a bartender at nearby Wrongs Tap (10014 S. Western Ave.) stated one the problems plaguing the Parade in recent years,"I think the underage drinking was what was really getting out of hand." The 2009 South Side Irish Parade led to 54 arrests.

Now let's get to it. Does anyone recall right-wing bloggers gnashing their teeth over the despicable behavior of the Parade goers? Anyone remember Andrew Breitbart showing up to scream at the Parade? Does anyone remember Conservative think tanks sending in agent provocateurs to agitate and write stories about the goings on?

Of course not. And here's the reason. No minorities present, no focus on the real causes of the recession and deficit, no #Occupiers, no 99% present complaining about the exceedingly unfair distribution of Wealth in this Nation. And why? Because the Republican Party is wholly owned by the 1% and their Right-Wing attack dogs will do whatever is in their power to undercut, divide, and keep We, the People fractured in service to their Plutocratic Masters.

Conservative Agent Provocateurs at work to destroy OccupyAmerica

Lying in the defense of Power is always acceptable. Being an Agent Provocateur is a ticket into the lower circles of wealth and privilege, just ask convicted criminal and serial video fabricator James O'Keefe.

In just a few short weeks smearing the OccupyAmericaRevolution has become cause célèbre of the ass-kissing Rich Sycophantic conservatives.

Patrick Howley of The American Spectator was leading the charge to attack the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Read the whole piece with photographic evidence over at Firedoglake. Howley wrote up the encounter himself over at the American Spectator site, but even though Howley changed the story from what he first wrote, what he left up is still incredibly damning:
But as as anyone knew I was part of this cause — a cause that I had infiltrated the day before in order to mock and undermine in the pages of The American Spectator — and I wasn’t giving up before I had my story. Under a cloud of pepper spray I forced myself into the doors.

I forced myself into the doors and sprinted blindly across the floor of the Air and Space Museum, drawing the attention of hundreds of stunned khaki-clad tourists (some of whom began snapping off disposable-camera portraits of me).
Yep, when the evidence doesn't fit the narrative, just make it up or create it for yourself! A hallmark of the Rightwing Servants and Guardians of the Rich... And of course, the poster child of conservative Lies, Lies and Videotape James O'Keefe took at stroll through the Occupy Wall Street protest hoping to get beat up or something?

These despicable actions are with one goal in mind, to undermine the Revolution and continue the ghastly Neo-Feudalist March towards Wage Slavery the Rich are imposing on America. Remember what American Spectator Bill Zeiser said himself "I guess I am the enemy after all."
