Check out the photo from yahoo. Only Kerry Supporters would do something so low.

The only reason I bring it up is that I've received two independently sent e-mails from angry friends who alerted me to this picture in the last 15 minutes ... and they are not Freepers. And, they had a large group distribution list. It's amazing, and somewhat scary, how quickly things happen on the internet. People can become cause celebres in the wink of an eye.

PRINT THE PICTURE OUT, ENLARGE IT, PUT IT ON A POSTER, PRINT UNDERNEATH IT, "KERRY, ARE YOU GOING TO TEAR UP MY POSTER, TOO?"

My daughter and son in law live in (college prof land) Upper Arlington, a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. (They're moving when they buy a house.) Anyway, she got flipped off yesterday by a man in a BMW after seeing her Bush/Cheney bumper sticker. He, of course, had a Kerry sticker. My daughter took the high road and ignored him. I probably wouldn't have.

In the early-mid 90s, I had a "Don't Blame Me, I Voted for Bush!" bumpersticker, and mostly got thumbs up and people pulling up next to me to ask where they could get one.

But in certain neighborhoods (nouveau riche), I would get flipped the bird, so I'd just smile and blow a kiss (if it was a guy).

I worked on Democratic campaigns since I was five years old - I helped one current Dem in Congress on his election (back in 1992, before I converted through marriage/osmosis). It is the best education for the electoral process and American government and I encourge it (though, Dems were really sick folks) parents to involve their children.

There is no excuse for this. Republicans never, ever treated us (three kids in our family) poorly or embarrassed my mother, but then again, I'm being redundant - I was on the other side.

This ticks me off!

Note in the photo that started the thread, young Alex has his fists clenched. He wanted to tear apart the bastards that made his little sister cry. What a good big brother.

[Barlowmaker]

I'm sure that was a sad development for you. But your decision is wise.

This father is a righteous man, and righteous people don't fathom the possibility of that kind of behavior. Parents need to know the ugly energy that permeates the anarchist element - and that they have glommed onto the Dems and they're going to be present throughout the public square.

So yes, the distribution of this image is imperative. And, it is being distributed.

So, what would they do to THAT little girl -- rip her hair out????

[LisaMalia]

The more I look at this picture, the more (as a mom) I wish I could have that pathetic, dickless, POS guy with the turned back green hat in front of me right now. I'd give my eyeteeth to give him a swift kick to the nuts.

P.S. Sorry for the language. I'm incensed.

[Scarpetta]

This poor man's expression while he carries his crying toddler his heartbreaking.

[visualops]

Bump!

[Right Wing Professor]

This ticks me off!

When I saw it first, I felt like going out to find a couple of Kerry supporters to start a fight. My blood is still boiling at it.

And it's no accident. The Kerry campaign has consistently used union goons as an unofficial security detail. We've seen several incidents of them beating up on hecklers at Kerry rallies. Now they've started on toddlers.

Scum. Disgusting, unadulterated scum.

[Scarpetta]

Breaks my heart, that brave little boy.

No wonder I think of you as my FReeper daughter!

The image in Post 483 reveals a much more threatening environment than the original. I wonder where the other two kids are?
