Whether or not the photo was a set-up is not the real issue. I understand certain partison political operatives are claiming the photo was staged, but no one has come forward to challenge the thrust of the story. John Kerry should have to answer the serious questions the photo raises. Remember, there is no definitive proof the scene was set-up. Perhaps the son was just reenacting what he had witnessed another union member do, so his conduct was accurate. Why are we focusing on the identities of the people instead of the photos content? All this talk about set-up is just a distraction.
hah - thank you dan!
lol...you are indeed correct sir. In addition, the incident in question isn't dependent upon the photo. I've talked to many credible witnesses who will confirm that indeed Kerry supporters will rip signs out of the hands of protestors. I've taken pictures of this happening before. This picture isn't one of them, but it certainly captures the sentiment of what happens.
Yes, but that would be like the silly CBS "fake but accurate" line of argument. Besides, the idea that it was staged with Parlock's older son playing the union goon is debunked by the fact that the union apologized and disciplined (supposedly) their member. If this hadn't been a real union guy, they would have outed him.
Oh man, I just got the joke. I am a freakin idiot.
