It was the only thing they could do. That little sorrowful face, on that sweet girl ---- right next to an IUPAT sign was devastating to them. Would they have done it if there wasn't a union thug ------ er, member,---- standing beside her?
Hey, I think that was a pretty good apology...and I believe the guy will be disciplined because the publicity hurt the union if for no other reason
I don't want it buried on the news page. This should be on the home page for every visitor to see immediately.
of course the union leader is going to issue an apology...because it was caught by an AP photographer....
i've worked with union guys my whole career, and there are some really good guys that i have been friends with for years, but the vast majority of them are hardcore slackers because it is pretty near impossible to get fired from a union job....
i'd guess this guy will, at most, be placed on unpaid leave for a short period, just in case anyone follows up on what action was taken.....after it blows over, the union will have him back on the job, with backpay for time he missed, with overtime.
you may think i'm kidding, but i'm completely 'series'
And I still say let some @$$hole union thug try to take my sign away. I`ll have a special handle on them for just such a situation from now on, made of nice THICK hickory. They like to pick on little girls, ok. LET THEM TRY THAT $#IT WITH ME!
TRANSLATION: "I have sent out internal memos to all the Gruppenfuehrers of our Thug Patrols to remind them to steal or break all cameras in vicinity first, you dolts! - before beating up on bystanders of any age".
Good outcome!

What . . situation? There wasn't any . . situation. It was an airport, not the floor of the Democrat Convention. He wasn't actually IN a union hall.
Not good enough. This incident just happend to get caught on camera. I wonder how many other incidents like that go unheard of.
Mine got through, but probably because it was early. Freeper action was a success:

This IUPAC Union is good at dishing it out, but they can't take it. What a bunch of lowlife morons these idiots are for backing John "Bin Laden" Kerry!!!!
President should show the poster as evidence of out of control, mouth frothing psycho Rat violence, but immediately read the apology from the Union and acknowledge that at least this union doesn't condone mindless violence against toddlers.
That way everybody sees President Bush as acknowledging such "good" as exists in the "opponents". Nice contrast with the drooling, smirking thugs and all of America gets to see the face of the cowardly thug himself. He is also the face of the new Rat party.
Sorry, I wouldn't take my 3 year-old into an area with Democrat thugs. I know (I used to be one) how intolerant, emotional and violent some liberals can get when they are challenged--even by a little girl holding a Bush/Cheney sign.
Parlock is free to parent as he sees fit. I do not blame him for the incident. As for me, I wouldn't put my young child near Union thugs or Democrats who almost always use foul language, give obscene jestures and are prone to violent outbursts--even though they love to think of themselves as peaceful. Hah! Ask the Protest Warriors or those Republicans who got into a scuffle with some Dems just how "peace-loving" leftists really are. I wouldn't want my child in or near those kinds of situations. And it was a pro-Kerry, Union, etc. sort of situation. Nothing should have come of it, that's for sure. You and Parlock may trust Dems to be civil towards conservative children. I don't. Period.
I'm sure neither would he. You don't seem to understand the scene, that day. This was a few hundred people at an airport, not the floor of the Democrat Convention. He wasn't walking INTO a union hall. And there were police around, which goes to my complaint, secret service etc.
In other words, you may disagree with him, and I can understand that. But don't start going out on the limb, as I think Beck did, and call him a bad father, or the mother a bad mother. I don't know if that's what you mean. But don't.
No, no, no, it's obvious Parlock is NOT a bad father. It's just some of us have less confidence in our fellow (leftist) man than Parlock most assuredly did that day and we wouldn't want our kids exposed to jerks like that Union painter guy. I agree with Parlock that it was a good lesson for his more mature eleven-year-old son whom I doubt will ever stray from conservatism after experiencing first-hand how idiot liberals behave as well as the moronic "conspiracy theories," excuses, and justifications other liberals who weren't there are now using to defend the situation!
I sure hope and pray that the main jerk who tore the sign from that poor little girl gets named and exposed. Same with the other "mob mentality" cretins who joined in. Leftists can be a dangerous bunch when things don't go their way. They are scum. I am glad that I left the Left behind...
Very nice letter you wrote, BTW.
