Your assertion is absurd. There is a big difference between a woman walking in a dark alley at midnight versus being at a public airport in the middle of the day.

According two your logic the two women who were raped in that Puerto Rican day parade a few years back in New York, had it coming. Is that how you think?

I was at a Bob Dole in 1996 rally in Bloomington Illinois and Bill Clinton supporters were there. Nothing was done to them or even said to them. They had signs and nobody touched them.

Like I said this is not Columbia or the Sudan. Mr. Parlock had absolutely very right to take his children to the airport and display his freedom of speech without abatement.

This is country is not controlled by lynch mobs or vigilantes. All the stuff ended back in the day of Jesse James and Doc Holliday.

If I were Mr Parlock I would demand that the local police arrest the persons involved. Inciting Mob action and destruction of private property.

You ARE a quack if you think he doesn't have a right to hold a sign at an airport. It didn't say anything bad about Kerry/edwards....it said only Bush/Cheney. What kind of world do you live in or WANT to live in.

This guy is a professional victim.If a democrat were to pull the same stunt,we'd be all over them.The Republican party doesn't need scams to entice voters.

Ask yourself,what are the odds of this happening,TWICE?Also,if it happened before,why would you take your children with you?

Calling me names does change or warrant your arguement
Furthermore, unless Mr. Parlock has broken the law in the past, it is total irrealvant to what happened in the airport.

Don't try to change the subject.

I did not know their was a limit on express or speech.

I am glad there are people like you, who have determined (in your little pea brain) who can say what, where, and how often.

That's stupid! What's the difference if he went to the airport with a Bush Cheney sign or went to pro-life rallies or even to pro-abortion ralies?? It's FREE SPEECH for him to hold up a sign and he has done more to show how VILE and EVIL the Democrats have become...I ADMIRE him! He stands up to enemies....he isn't cowering.

Newbie is name calling?Who'd have known.You did sign up today didn't you?Also,one can be a professional victim without breaking the law.Not changing the subject,but you are really whacked in the head to compare this to rape.

He's putting his daughter in harms way.No 3 year old should have to go through this.If he wants to do it,fine,but he shouldn't have taken his daughter with him.Of course,he wouldn't have that nice photo if he hadn't though,would he?

I never suggested this. One, he could have said something
to them. If he did, I don't know what it was. Two, he could have made a complaint. Three, he could have had people with him who would stand up for them. It doesn't make sense to go into a crowd of these people as a solo protester.

This picture ticks me off. It would be front-page news in NYT or other MSM outlets if this were a Kerry supporter @ a Bush rally.

I see the daughter now has a reason to dislike democrats the rest of her life.

Why is it always the democrats that scream about free speech, but in my travels in life and on the Internet, it is the democrats and their liberal supporters that are trying to suppress it?

ACLU anyone? Speech is free unless you have something to say about Christianity. Some people were raised by idiots, and that guy standing there with a piece of Bush/Cheney sign smiling at a girl he made cry.....he is one of those people.

I don't like the liberal philosophy, but I wouldn't make a little girl cry over it. I also wouldn't suppress their right to say it any and everywhere they wanted too that is an open and public forum.

Democrats believe in tyranny and don't believe in morality. This is an oversimplification, but it's increasingly true.
It explains their behavior.

Yeah...hatboy thought he'd get away with it. Never thought his reprehensible behavior would be captured on film and broadcast to the world. I hope he's ashamed and humiliated and embarassed by his horrendous actions toward a THREE YEAR OLD. Oh, the names I'd like to call this boy (and all those who participated.)

Freedom of speech, freedom of expression. He was doing absolutely nothing outside of his rights, nor was he harming anyone by holding a sign. He could go to every single RAT rally and hold a sign for the opposing candidate and could only be guilty of one thing: exercising his rights more than most Americans.

These people don't feel much shame. They have to be punished in ways that even the amoral can feel.
