From the NY Post:Boos followed Mayor Bloomberg yesterday as he walked in the annual St. Patrick’s Parade in Rockaway, Queens — his first Irish outing since he made a quip about their drinking last month.
Many in the working-class neighborhood also got their Irish up over Bloomberg’s cost-cutting initiatives, including his efforts to overhaul the city pension system, fire more than 4,000 teachers, and change the “last in, first out” rule for teacher layoffs.
“Go back to Manhattan!” yelled several parade-goers as Bloomberg and other elected officials strolled the 30-block route along Newport Avenue and Rockaway Beach Boulevard in Belle Harbor.
“Take the A train home!” shouted someone amid the sea of bagpipes, green face paint and Irish flags.
Chants of “Union-buster!” and “Respect the teachers!” trailed after Bloomberg, who was making his 10th consecutive appearance at the parade.

Fuck Bloomberg, wherever he goes for a photo op. Shit on his head as the press records it. This is the time to get back at him before he leaves office, so he NEVER FORGETS what he did to us.
SHIT ON HIS FUCKING HEAD.
"...the sea...of Irish flags".
I was at the Sunnyside/Woodside parade today on Skillman Avenue.
Not one, not one American flag was to be seen.
@Georgethatheist Actually there was an American Flag on the Flatbed where the speeches were made (It was on the wrong side but it was there) And the Junior Girl Scouts of Troop 4283 carried one up front. There were a few carried by marchers in the parade, but sadly the Veterans For Peace didn't display one. Pretty sad commentary on the state of patriotism all around though.
Sight of Bloomberg offends Rockaway Irish

Ridiculous! The sight of Bloomtard offends...EVERYONE!
I am glad that Bloomberg's third term will ruin his legacy. He has done some many wrong things to people that he is just too stuborn to make right.
Karma will always get you.... somehow.... someway
he's probably going to try to run for president, if he doesnt want to forget politics altogether after this. there have been more that a few presidential candidates to lose their home state. bloomberg's home state is massachusetts actually...
Good, F HIM!!! Glad he's finally looking like the shithead he really is.

Irish people HATE America, it's hereditary. Irish people are loyal to Ireland and AMERICAN people love and are loyal to America. It's rudimentary.
If you're going to celebrate your ethnic heritage, I think that's OK if you're into that. But there should be at least as many American flags on view as the Old Country's flags. That's the way it used to be done.
Shame on Brendan Fay for not insuring this yesterday. Irish flags and Rainbow flags in abundance.
No Old Glory.
Unbelievable that this guy just does not get it! He should should stay out of Queens for good!
Did no one read this
