[Dont Mention the War]

Phil Parlock did NOT stage this story! The union admits it's true! Spread the word!

[phxaz]

Name the goon and let nature take its course.

[GretchenM]

Very refreshing.

No weasel words.

Can't undo the damage but it goes high on the integrity meter.

[Hank Rearden]

I just sent an email to:

askthegeneralpresident@iupat.org

encouraging those lazy thugs to blow it out their a$$. Others may wish to do likewise.

[E Rocc]

Give the man credit for saying the right things....we'll see if actions match words. Let's hope so.

Nice to see someone willing to take a stand. Rather could take a lesson in manhood from this Union president.

[DollyCali]

I am impressed that he responded. What a breath of fresh air compared to Dan the Man . I did jot a note thanking & commending him. I personally don't want to see the man fired. I think he should publicly (and face to face) apologize to the family & his union which he did NOT represent very well. There is possibly some internal disciplinary works?

My guess is that he isn't even 20. Sometimes I am too much a softies, I guess.. but I think a meeting of that young man & the family would be worthwhile. On
Glenn Beck, the father mentioned he was a Christian etc.. Maybe a convert is in the works - politically & spiritually.

Oh, I guess that settles it then. .....NOT!

"We here in the Reichschancellory have received reports of cruelty in some of our corrective labour detention facilities, most notably in Oscweicim, Poland. We are sending a team to investigate these serious allegations, and ask the general public to please rest assured if there is any wrongdoing in those social rehabilitation centers, matters will be discussed on-site and the situation will be resolved. That is all. Heil Hitler."

How do you figure this amounts to vindicating Parlock ????

[UsnDadof8]

OOPs, once again I misread. I thought momentarily that Parlock was the name of the union thug. Sorry.

[Capricam]

Yeah, well the story (bullshit) is being spread by all the liberals anyway. Just check this lib bs out:

So What? - It's not even on the home page where everyone would see it.

I have personally taken steps to address this issue internally, and will take immediate disciplinary action to the full extent allowed under U.S. Department of Labor regulations and the constitution of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades.

He got promoted.

[tioga]

Don't miss the latest on the bullying three year olds saga.

[Casloy]

I guess "DAISY" was wrong.

[cake_crumb]

Big, fat, hairy whoop. Will the mass media bother carrying the truth about the co-called-labor vote? Will the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades take out full page ads in the papers or 30 second time slots on TV?

This disclaimor for such DASTARDLY behavior is no skin off the union's collective backside, because the media is keeping both the assault of little kids and the "apology" quiet. It's a pair of highly important non-events. The media must get Kerry elected. The end justifies the means as far as they're concerned, and the end is Kerry/Edwards.

[God bless Texas]

Email Sophia at pparlock@ezwv.com Let her and her family know we are on their side.

[YOUGOTIT]

Our letters to the Union worked.

[Hildy]

That was a good letter.
