Miller Brewing 's media relations department responded to the accusations and allegations made below by myself and links from others in regards to this posted story. To read the comments check the comment link at the bottom if you wish.
As for the authenticity I have been able to confirm the email address they left, but have been unable to check into the claim they make in their comment that they did not sponsor this event as reported by the sources provided in the post below. Judge for yourself, as I also cite this post above in my September 5th rant about Chicago celebrating Mexico's independence for a whole week.....

This arrangement really has quite a few chicagoans and americans flippin' raging this morning , rest assured. What exactly can be done about it on a large scale on such short notice for this weekend is not yet clear.But this company can bet on this, although I dont drink beer, this chicagoan will never purchase any products from their company as long as I live, they can take that to the local
Michelle Malkin is on the wagon already and has alot of links and company info should you wish to join in on the boycott of their products.
Why this immigrant rights march is brought to you by Miller | Chicago Tribune: "Marchers had to duck into fast-food restaurants for water when they first took to Chicago's streets in support of illegal immigrants five months ago. At the next two marches, family-owned grocery stores offered free bottled water from trucks emblazoned with their names.
This time, as demonstrators march from Chinatown to House Speaker Dennis Hastert's (R-Ill.) Batavia office this weekend, they will have Miller Brewing Co., as a sponsor. The brewer has paid more than $30,000 for a planning convention, materials and newspaper ads publicizing the event.
The support of a major corporation for a controversial political cause shows how fierce the competition has become to woo the growing market of Latino consumers.
For Miller, the march offered a special chance to catch up. This spring the brewer drew the ire of pro-immigrant forces over contributions to U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), who sponsored legislation that would crack down on illegal immigrants. That prompted a short-lived boycott by some Latino groups.
Now, march advertisements feature not just the organizing committee's trademark blue globe but Miller's logo and a Spanish translation of its 'Live Responsibly' slogan, a company effort to build goodwill among Latinos." read more
