"When Kerry was in Wheeling, his union goons shoved an elderly Bush supporter into Main Street traffic and stole one of his signs." -- seems it's time for them to be called on their bad manners and actual assaults!

We were lost in Nashville during that time. I'd taken my son to Vandy for some tests...and got turned around because of the crowds. I do okay there as long as I stick to the routes I know....

It was downright frightening around the capital that day. We didn't know what was going on...

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.

And the Constitution of the US, etc, Mr. Prosecutor, you don't need to come 'round. I really don't feel pity for that goon, or the rest of the militants standing around there. But I'd feel a lot better if it was the local prosecutor taking "immediate action". What do they get paid for? Heck, where were the cops?

WOW! The formal union position on the disgusting behavior of it's members in W. Va…

http://www.ibpat.org/news/WVa.html

Statement from the General President Regarding the Events in Huntington, WV


The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades believes in the fundamental right for civil discourse, freedom of speech and activism to support our candidates and issues.

What happened in Huntington, West Virginia yesterday is an affront to everything we, as a union, pride ourselves to represent. We extend our apologies to the Parlock family, especially Sophia, for the distress one of our overzealous members caused them.

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

It is my hope that this incident reminds all of our members that every last citizen in this country has the right to express his or herself freely. Not one single one of us has the right to tell them otherwise.

General President James A. Williams
The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades

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."

Little girl's brother-

-- snip --

What all you Freepers (I learned a new word today!) can do for my family is to show the same kind of support for our president, maybe attend Kerry/Edwards rallies yourself... showing the same kind of respect, perserverence, and steadfast resolve that we have tried to show. Please bring good credit upon yourselves and our president.

BTW I will give Sophia big hug tomorrow for all of you. She is a cutie. Thank you.
hmm, "Thank you" is what President Bush said to Sophia when she gave him a hug at the Bush rally last Friday.

little girl's big brother-

Dame Autour, yes, i am Philip, II

BTW we got the plate number of the guy who threw the torn sign pieces at us and called him in to the littering hotline. Although my dad was distraught with those taking and ripping up signs, he continued to endure and show restraint- we weren't there to cause trouble, rather, we were there show the dedication of Bush supporters.

Little girl's brother-

Yes, Sophia is ok, but a little confused because "the people changed and got mean" as soon as she held up her sign. We were at the visit in the hopes of winning the people who are unsure and reassuring those who support President Bush. Among those supporters, much to my surprise and delight, were one of the drivers for the Edwards motorcade (who honked and gave a thumbs up after dropping off Edwards) and some police from both WV and Ohio.

Little girl's big brother, again-

Thank you for sending this to Drudge Report, and for all of the support. I was at the Edwards visit to the tri-state airport in Kenova, WV (near Huntington). I was not up front with my dad and siblings, but at the entrance to the airport, silently greeting airport traffic, as well as Sen. Edwards with a homemade Bush sign and U.S. and West Virginia flags.

To: everybody.

I am an older brother of the little girl. I have read many of your posts, and am dying to answer your questions you have had. For starters, someone did their homework, and, yes, you have the right Phil Parlock. Father of 10, participated in Junior Achievement, NAACP, 4 time candidate for Board of Education, 2 children in the National Guard, of which I am one. Yes, the little boy is the little girl's and my brother, upset with the IUPAT guy.

I feel terrible for the couple thanks to those union pigs. I wish I had eneough money to donate to them. Of course these unions claim to be a friend to the average Canadian/American worker instead they behave like communists and take your money and live in luxury.

We cleared it up and I apologized for jumping in too early. He was very sincere in his view and in agreement with mine. Thanks for the post.

OK. Thanks for the ping.

I was wrong to suggest he staged it.

But I still think it's pathetic of him to take his kid to the other team's rallies after he's already gotten into trouble doing it two other times. Go get yourself beaten up on your own if you want... leave your kids out of it.
