Daisy's obviously been wearing her tinfoil a little too tight.

I'm no journalist. . .

Sure he is. He just needs to get over to Kinko's to have his story validated.

In the face of overwhelming evidence contradicting their story, they continue to lie. Sounds strangely familiar...

Oh no! They're on to us! The DUers have found out about our secret plan to steal the election by staging sign-ripping incidents across the country! What are we gonna do now? Bush's lead will evaporate without pics of little girls crying in every newspaper in America!

If it was fake the union would not of offered it's appoligy. It would of back-fired on him. This is just an attempted diversion by pro-liberal thug huggers.

THE LEFT IS DESPERATE FOR A HOAX
By Michelle Malkin   ·   September 17, 2004 01:14 PM

Just got off the phone with Phil Parlock, who is amused by desperate liberal rumor-mongering (endorsed here) that the man wearing an IUPAT t-shirt and holding a piece of his little girl's Bush/Cheney sign is his own son.

"That's ridiculous. This is a small town," Parlock told me from his home in Huntington, W. Virginia. "Everyone would recognize him."

Parlock and his daughter were surrounded by a group of about five or six nasty pro-Kerry folks, two or three of whom wore IUPAT shirts. He received a voice mail from the president of the IUPAT, whose apology (as noted below) is here. Am waiting for a call back from IUPAT president James Williams.

IUPAT members, by the way, were involved in a previous sign-tearing incident involving Parlock and his family, according to Parlock.

Meanwhile, Parlock's toddler is fine.

It's pathetic that lefty bloggers would smear Parlock and his children so quickly without bothering to check. Rathergate must be really getting to them.

And it is awful convenient that they found somebody who happens to know this guy so personally as this "daisy" this has falsehood written all over it. I doubt "daisy" even exists, and if she does she doesnt know parlock from the split in her butt.

I asked her why she thought Parlock would do such a thing, she mentioned that Parlock is "very very Christian,"

It's just like a DUmmy to take a fact and apply it to mean the absolute opposite. Christians do not believe the ends justify the means, and we are not into scaring kids and making them cry for political gain either. They only thought of the staging thing because that's what THEY would do.

The Union appologized this morning. They said they were taking action against the union member.

He will, however, be signed by the Texas Rangers as a relief pitcher.

Union thugs and assorted democrat thugs are always spewing hatred and intolerance when anyone demonstrates against their leftists agenda. Several FReepers have experienced such attacks and I have witnessed them here in Austin.

Question for Miss Daisy - "Where did he get the union shirt?" They don't exactly sell them at the local Wal-Mart, you know.

It could have been staged. He sure does get into the newspaper a lot for going to opposition rallies. There is speculation that the guy in the union shirt in the picture is his 21 year old son.

I think this story is done though. It wasn't reported on enough to get a big backlash even if it were staged. At this point, it is still speculation, so I doubt we will see much of it in the press one way or another.

I'm no journalist, but through a trusted friend in West Virginia (whom we'll call Daisy), I've learned that Phil Parlock, in an attempt to aid Bush in the state, had the incident staged. As far as I know, Parlock's family knew nothing of it. It's also unclear whether or not the Bush campaign or any of its allied 527 groups were involved. It's possible that Parlock was acting of his own accord.

This is filthy lie. There are pictures of a union thug (please tell me how to get a "IUPAT for Kerry" t-shirt) with the ripped up sign. This person who wrote this article should be sued for libel.
