[Dont Mention the War]

We're not allowed to post even a single word from scummy Gannett newspapers, but I suggest everyone take a look at this link:

I think they may be preparing a hit piece on Parnock. Even hinting that he might be a child abuser for taking his daughter to the airport is way over the line.

[Dont Mention the War]

The actual article should be on their site sometime around midnight Eastern, give or take an hour.

[counterpunch]

Let them.
When the paranoid liberal media is digging themselves a hole, don't take their shovel away.

[Drango]

I have a memo that shows the editor and the publisher of this rag, both are convicted child molesters.

[Tempest]

Ahhh preparing for the spin.

Like another Freeper said. According to left wing logic if I spot a Kerry family at a Bush Rally I can walk up to him punch his kid and call child services on the parents for endangering their child.

Welcome to "progressive thinking" folks.

[Dont Mention the War]

Did you steal my CBS stationery? LOL!

[burrian]

Parlock was introducing his daughter to Democrats.

That could be considered child abuse!

No, you should wait until they're a bit older to break the sad news that there are things out there called Democrats.

[Dog Gone]

BWAAAAAAHAHAHA! If taking a child to a Democratic event is considered "child abuse," then we have won. It's an admission that children aren't safe around Democrat supporters.

Please run with this story, Gannet. Paint the father as the villian, not the union thug.

That will win over the middle, fer sure, fer sure.

So, are they saying that a conservative should expect violence if he goes to a DNC rally? Is that what they are saying?

[mrsmith]

Wow, sounds like the Herald wants to make sure everyone knows they prescribe to the "... boot stamping on a human face - forever " view of the future.

[republicangel]

Wait a minute....

when I was about 1 year old, my mom took me to protest against LBJ. My mom was a big Goldwater supporter. My 14 year old sister was right there, too. Holding a Goldwater sign (at least I'm told).

This "teaser" is pretty incredible. Once again they may be helping this story grow legs.

I love that expression, it's so expressive!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Is the reporter implying that VIOLENCE and INTIMIDATION are now acceptable behavior and that conservatives should just EXPECT to be attacked if they dare to express their first amendment rights anywhere near DemocRats?

[andyk]

This "teaser" is pretty incredible

Incredible? I'm hyperventilating. It's unfreaking believable. I had to look four times at the URL to make sure it wasn't some phony site.

[stockpirate]

Early posts today indicated that these are the same things that the DU'ers were saying on their site.

[SoDak]

This is par for the course for Gannett. People wonder why SD sends Daschle to Washington, I tell them 80% of the blame lies with the fact that Gannett controls SD media.

[burrian]

He invited me to punch him

[Blood of Tyrants]

If you can now EXPECT violence from DemoNAZIS when they get together, then they are no longer protected by the First Amendment.

[nomad]

I`m sorry, but I never take my kids to the battle field. But from now on my signs will be battle ready, Hickory handled style!

[Quix]

Well said.

Lord, let them fall in their own pit with great self-generated noise and fanfare--and disgust on the part of the populace.

[Quix]

Family spellings take priority first.

DIMRATS.

With the caveat that the outside world thinks differently and spells some things differently and adjustments must be made in some contexts.

LOL.
