I missed the story. What happened?
See post #23.
Here's what happened:
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.
How could you have missed it ? It was posted on about 7 or 8 duplicate threads /sarcasm
