****************************** KERRY GOON MAKES 3-YEAR-OLD CRY
Yet another “sign” that Kerry will go down in flames on November 2nd: Check out this photo of the cute little 3-year-old girl crying on her dad’s shoulders after having her “Bush-Cheney” sign ripped out of her hands and torn up by Kerry-Edwards supporters in West Virginia yesterday.

Not exactly the way to win friends and influence people, huh? The bonehead with the baseball cap on the wrong way, a smirk on his face and pieces of the sign in his hand is laughing at little Sophia. Takes a real tough guy to make a 3-year-old girl cry, doesn't it?
Now here’s the rest of the story, as if that’s not enough to make your blood boil.
I spoke with the girl’s father, Phil Parlock, this morning. Mr. Parlock is a real estate agent and father of 10 children...two of whom are presently in the National Guard. (I hope Dan Rather doesn’t get hold of their service records!). Apparently the Kerry goons who were ripping up everyone’s Bush-Cheney signs at the rally, including little Sophia’s, were members of...the Painters Union.
Go figure. Who would have thought such goonish behavior could come from union workers? I mean, what are the odds?
Anyway, Mr. Parlock also let me speak to Sophia briefly. She told me proudly - in that kind of little-girl voice which’ll melt your heart - how she got to meet the President and how the President hugged her and told her “Thank you.” She was obviously on Cloud Nine. What a damn shame that thug had to ruin such a wonderful experience for a little 3-year-old kid.
But it gets worse...
Apparently, Mr. Parlock’s 82-year-old mother-in-law was living with the family back in 1999 when she passed away after a short illness. Her obituary appeared in the Charleston Gazette on February 19, 1999.
What’s this have to do with anything?
Well, once Sophia Parlock’s photo appeared in the Associated Press story, one of the whacked-out Democratic Underground jerks, “displacedtexan,” posted the link to the obituary on the DU website Discussion Board under the title “Did the Parlocks OFF Granny,” along with these comments:
“Short Illness?????????????????? The Parlocks let Granny die while in their care???????? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm… 10 kids on a real estate agent's salary????????????? I wonder what Granny's house was worth!”
These are some sick puppies.
Anyway, I asked Mr. Parlock if it might help for Sophia to get some emails from folks who saw her picture and wanted to send their greetings and some words of encouragement after her unfortunate experience. He asked that anyone wanting to reach out and contact Sophia do so by sending an email to: pparlock@ezwv.com
I’ll let you all take it from here.

Send encouragement to her!!
you are a wee bit late to the party
Just a dozen or so postings.
Do we already have the email address?
Did any of the postings show Muth's discussion with Parlock and the request for emails for his little girl? I know that the union apologized already.
The story has been posted but not from this source and not with this info. I think the e-mail was on another thread.
Is that confirmed?
I've seen the e-mail on another thread. This is the first thread I've seen with the conversation. However, I did leave FR for 40 minutes to pick up kids at school so it could have been posted in there somewhere.
I've been hearing that the whole thing was a hoax... does anyone have anything concrete on this story?
If that hole did that to my daughter, he'd be picking his teeth off the ground.
It was not a hoax. Someone copied a DU thread that it was. However unions don't apologize for hoaxes.
My understanding was that it wasn't at a rally but at the airport. Freepers show up for these things all the time.
Not the case.
Here's one for this idiot. Take his car down to the Local Teamsters & park it out in front of that office overnight. Then complain the next day when it's trashed. DAH!
Phil Parlock didn't expect to need all 12 of the Bush-Cheney signs he and his son Louis smuggled in their socks and pockets into the rally for Vice President Al Gore.
But each time they raised a sign, someone would grab it out of their hands, the two Huntington residents said. And sometimes it got physical.
"I expected some people to take our signs," said Louis, 12. "But I did not expect people to practically attack us."
I don't know....
Anyway....if it's a duplicate then I hope people will indulge me in making sure that a little girl gets a bunch of email sent to her Dad that shows her that not all grown ups suck.
Thanks
