I'm upseet with the number of FReepers finding fault with the man for bringing his children.

I don't like it either. It's easy to armchair QB after the fact.

I'll bet $100000 (that I don't even have) that he had no idea what was going to happen. Even most republican activists don't know how these goon squads operate.

I didn't know myself till I saw some of this stuff firsthand.

well i don't BLAME him for it happening, but i certainly think it was foreseeable that something untoward would happen, and thinking that because she is a little girl that it wouldn't is being naive. Granted, FREEPERS should know, who knows what this guy's savvy is. But anyone that heard about what happened to Gerry Adams, the Phila. freeper, the last election, should not have been surprised to see that union goons are beyond vile.

while i would take xskids to a Bush-Cheney rally in this area, i would NOT take them to any sort of mixed event, or where i knew that a large number of Kerry supporters would be. You need to use common sense. i would never get on one of those threads and say that the dad was an idiot for bringing her, but he could have used better judgment

I'm upset with the number of FReepers upset at the Dem goon. A common way to improve one's talents is to take on an opponent better than you. Tennis players, golfers, even musicians jamming know that they will better their skills in the presence of superiors. All Kerry's guy did was challenge himself.
