That's self-evident from even the small fuzzy photos presently on the web.
I don't know if you'll agree with all my comments, but I certainly would appreciate any correction you think might be warranted in the following:
YOUR FAMILY ARE GREAT AMERICANS!!!!
I've been studying this picture for a few hours now, and I've come to the conclusion that the guy in the hat is Dan Rather.
Hey sis, it is my understanding that ripping a object from the hands of a 3 year old girl is a STRONG ARMED ROBBERY. (a class one felony).
This needs to be reported to the police and charges need to be filed against that thug. Also when you rip an object from a child or from anyone for that matter, it is an assault and battery.
Has anyone ID'd the perp?
Ya know, I wouldn't worry too much about posting twice.
I was gonna recycle them there pixels anyway, and besides, I had too many white ones to start with.
Your unit need anything in particular over there we might help with?
One, at first blush, I figured the DUmmies might be on to something for once. Then I asked myself...
Why do the people behind Parlock appear to be shouting angrily at the girl, rather than at the bully who tore up her sign?
Why aren't there a bunch of Dems jumping on him?
I mean, if this behavior is so undemocratic, why aren't any Democrats dealing with this guy? Why did they try to cover up (literally) his actions rather than confront him?
Sorry, something is still fishy here, and if it was a hoax it still shows us something about the Dems--they jumped right on the bandwagon with this guy.
Another hole: If you didn't tell the girl in advance, how could you count on her not to indicate her attacker was her brother? If you did tell her in advance, how could she act that well?
Sure sounds like a freeper!
(Funny how those union members are always handy to take Parlock and his progenys signs away!)
Yes, you so seldom find union thugs at Dem rallies in steel towns...
As the little girls photo circulated the internet, many members of Democratic Underground questioned the incident.
These people routinely refer to Bush as Hitler, wish painful death on conservatives day in and day out, and this seem incredible to them? Yeah, when i think "compassion" I think of DU and union goons.
Could Snyder and Parlock have planned the nasty shot?
We're scum because we have gone after CBS, but these guys can slander this AP photog just because his paper mentioned Parlock before? Idiots.
A comparison of the union worker and the Parlock son:
Wow. That's just...well, unconvincing.
One last comment on the DU article: Finally a DUer who can write. Man, those people write so badly that calling it typing is an insult to typists.
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.
Uh, duh. What the the heck do you think my point was?
Thanks for serving our great nation, and we stand with you and your family.
God Bless,

Nice job being "solid" in this thread Dan. Regards.
Oops, sorry. I meant that I appreciate your contributions in rintense's thread last night and the subsequent threads questioning the veracity of the father and incident. You were right.
Yeah - well - and plus the fact they simply don't look alike:
Your Dad is AWESOME! He makes me PROUD to be a Bush supporter.
We have been promoting these Swiftee stickers to show support for the Swiftees and raise funds to send to them so they can buy more airtime for their KILLER ADS. The guy who is making them is a FReeper in West Virginia, and he has literally worked his tail off to make so many of these to send to FReepers all over the world! I handle the distribution. Please show these to your Dad and let me know if he would like some.
These Swiftee stickers get the word out to the driving public and displays your public support for the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth! It even displays their website address!
Swiftee sticker thread! Freep mail for details on how to get yours!
