Check out the photo from yahoo. Only Kerry Supporters would do something so low.
Thumped with that one.
What really bothers me is the attitude of people here who say, "Well, this guy has been attacked before, so he's just asking for it - for himself and his kids - if he goes to any more political events". That's EXACTLY what the Liberofascists want us to think!! They want us to give up the freedom of speech for ourselves and our kids for reasons of "safety". Hell no!
Hope to see you out on the street again one of these days in some Front Range city. Were you at the Bush rally on Tuesday?
For the record, here's the email I sent late last night to the IPUKE website......

Subject : Problems with the IUPAT Directory webpage
Hello, webmaster -
I searched through your Directory webpage / pdf file, both in the national offices and the local West Virginia offices, but I couldn't find a phone number or address listed for your "Department That Beats Up On Three Year Old Girls". Is this a new office that you haven't gotten around to listing yet? Or is it under some other section I didn't think to look in?
Thank you guys for opening my eyes so wide. That photo from the WV airport was a real wakeup call. Over the years, with all the times we've had our rental properties painted inside and out, I have never once thought to ask if the companies we contract with use union workers. Rest assured that forever more I will.
And that's just a start. Making that commitment now reduced the temperature of my blood a little bit, but nowhere near enough. I'll have to think of something else to do. Maybe I'll feel better after sending the photo to everyone I have an email address for, explaining to them what the "IUPAT" logo stands for on the tshirt of the jerk on the left who's smirking at the crying little girl.
You want enemies for life?
You got em.
Although the man who is General President more or less apologized, I think that they ought to take the miscreant out and hogtie him to an ant hill with honey all over him - of course it would have to be in the middle of some bee hives and wasp nests.
I received the following in my email today:
For those of you who may have emailed the IUPAT about the actions of their member in Huntington, WV, yesterday, here's some gratifying news --
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

But, It's For The Children, as long as the child is a democrat I guess?
I guarandamteeyou that SOB would have gone to the hospital on a stretcher.
Ooops, I guess now I'm the one posting without reading the thread! Sorry about that.
Good Job Meek
No prob! This FREEPING is fast and furious. Cool thing is, I decided to do this as an exercise in writting. Your misread has taught me something.
I'm not going to second guess him, except to suggest that the guy who posted here, yesterday, and hasn't since, should have stayed with the family, and helped to act as 'security'/protection. But I'll tell you why I won't ultimately question even that, and why I think you're wrong. He, and Phil on talk radio today, are insisting that the crowd was friendly, but then turned "mean". I have no reason to doubt that. I'm sure they've been to many rallies. Phil's been doing this 'freeper' thing since before FR - for almost 20 years. They've apparently won some hearts and minds. They hoped to do so, again. What is FR about, after all?
Thank you sir. You always come up with the 'just right' captions! :^D
ping
LOL! Great message to the thuggery!
All my best to you and yours.
I would have busted that poophead
You do have a point.
G. W. Bush and John Kerry somehow ended up at the same barbershop. As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were even afraid to start a conversation, for fear it would turn to politics. As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had Kerry in his chair reached for the aftershave. Kerry was quick to stop him saying, "No thanks, my wife Theresa will smell that and think I've been in a whorehouse." The second barber turned to Bush and said, "How about you?" Bush replied, "Go ahead, my wife doesn't know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like."
I know this isn't true...lol...Kerry would be caught in a whore house...but NOT a Barber shop!
LOL, another Afrimative Action program shot to hell.
Another good one! What a disgrace they would do that to a child.
