Three-year-old Sophia Parlock cries while seated on the shoulders of her father, Phil Parlock, after having their Bush-Cheney sign torn up by Kerry-Edwards supporters on Thursday, Sept. 16, 2004, at the Tri-State Airport in Huntington, W.Va. Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards (news - web sites) made a brief stop at the airport as he concluded his two-day bus tour to locations in West Virginia and Ohio.

punk with backassed ball cap
somebody shoulda kicked his ass.
looks like pieces of the sign in thuggaz's right hand...feral looking chump that he is.
note blonde lad to the right with clenched fist...."Shane" in training...if only he were a bit older I bet he's thinking....must be big brother.
man...we should really use this photo
BIGTIME....it says it all about what's at stake
decency versus the lowest common denominator
What we need now is a Photoshop expert to crop the photo of the tolerant union thug and make a "Wanted Dead or Alive" poster, and post it around that town. A few right-thinking Real Americans ought to invite this guy to a friendly game of baseball--they'll bring the equipment, and he'll bring the head, er ball.
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.
BTTT
Kevin? Anyone ping ya on this yet?
I will be freeping tomorrow.
I resolve to be all "Cool Hand Luke" about it. No anger.
But I will be cold. And I will know my enemy is the sort of cretin who would abuse a child with a sign he or she doesn't like, the 2004 expression of the two minutes hate walking around on two legs.
I will be frosty. I will do it for Sophia. and we will win.
That poor dad.. how horrible. But they were FReeping right? DO NOT TAKE MINORS to FReep a Kerry event! With today's developments, the situation may become volitile.
I have volenteered for the Bush/Cheney 04 campaign and have sent the President a note via Mrs Bush offering myself for service in The President's 2nd term. I let my job know today that I have done it so if it is the President's pleasure, they have notice.
I've been eating with the same group at lunchtime for years. It's liberal heavy and I've kept quiet and listened to the hysteria. They feed each other hate... name calling the President and so forth.. childish stuff.
Today I went down and it was a smaller group. I began talking campaign stuff.. war in Iraq and one of the wise guys (who I've never really pegged before today) starts shooting his mouth off. I always thought he was a vet.. don't know why - maybe it was that he rolled up his shirtsleeves from the inside or something.. He asked me to change the subject, so I did.. a few minutes later he says 'Bush should go to Dallas' ... I asked why ... He said: 'to get shot, of course' ... I have never had the impulse to kill in my life like I had today. I was shaking. I said to him.. my voice quivering.. do you realize where we are (and I pointed across the street to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall).. He said 'I don't care'. I left. A few hours later, a National Park Service officer was shot and killed at Independence Hall. An hour later, Oliver North denounced John Kerry as an Anti-American on Hannity.
It will be alright Sophia ... God in Heaven protects you and our President. He is taking special care of all of us.
One of my heros of the Revolution was Ben Franklin... I always wondered what it was like then.. what enlightenment felt like. I'm getting some idea now :=} It's very new and feels wonderful. I'm really excited. And I have no fear in dying in the service of my Country.
That is awful. How can anyone be so mean, to target a little 3 year old girl?

I just sent this e-mail:
IUPAT,
Is this what you stand for--a big goon with his baseball hat on backwards picking on a 3 year old little girl? I hope your union members never get a job anywhere ever again!
Disgusstedly,
Thomas Newton
This fool on the left looks so proud of himself that he could make a little girl cry. She's crying at the violence of it. And the little boy on the right sure would appear to be her brother.
I thought Rather was one of the worst I'd seen, trying to save his career on the testimony of a confused and bitter 86-year-old Democrat. But this goon is even worse. The solution is NOT that he wind up in some concrete bridge footing; not nec. to imply anything about the leadership of the IUPAT. But the solution is simply that he be charged with assault by local authorities. The guy's still got part of the torn banner in his hand!
On the bright side: If the Democratic nominee had been John Edwards or Howard Dean, we wouldn't be seeing photos like this showing up from AP. It demonstrates the callousness of the Democrat thuggery that has promulgated the fringe left lo' these many years, that would otherwise go unchecked, or hard to confirm.
I'm a little surprised Dan Rather didn't report this as the girl crying after her "Vote for Kerry" sign was torn up by a very mean Bush man. After all, the gist of the allegation is true. The little girl did have her sign torn up. And she did cry.
Note to LeftistUnionThugGuy on the left:
We have thugs, too, but they don't pick on little girls
or parents holding children. You look fairly tasty, though.
I hope the poor little girl and her Dad get a front seat at the Inauguration.
