Bush Poster Child

If the picture of little 3-year-old Sophia Parlock crying after some Kerry-Edwards supporters tore up her Bush-Cheney poster got to you, well, you weren't the only one. President Bush and even first pup Barney were dismayed too, we hear. It happened at a West Virginia rally last week for Democratic running mate Sen. John Edwards, to which Phil Parlock brought his daughter. After seeing the picture of the tearful Sophia on her dad's shoulders, aides said the president was sending her a little note Friday along with a signed campaign poster and an autographed photo of the prez and his dog. "Dear Sophia," Bush penned, "Thank you for supporting my campaign. I understand someone tore up your sign. So I am sending you a new sign and a signed picture. Please give my best to your family. Sincerely, George W. Bush." And on the picture, he inked: "To Sophia, Best wishes from me and Barney." Phil Parlock tells us it really wasn't necessary. "He already said 'Thank you' when he hugged her" at a previous Bush rally they attended, he says. "She bragged for days."

"Michael Moore beaten up at LAX by petite Marine"

If you were a petite Marine would you want to get your hands (or whatever was handy) dirty on that porcine POS with eyes? I mean even if there was a hot shower facility handy.???

Welcome to Free Republic, spiderman9! Thank you for your service to our country! And thank you for your little sister, too.

Ive seen plenty of these guys huff to many fumes

That's funny. I received a lot of e-mails from friends last night when the picture broke, and one of them theorized that the goon looked like he ate too many paint chips.

So has the rough and tough union thug bastard been ID'd yet?

Hell's bells people...This ain't rocket science...offer a reward for his id. His mother would sell him out for a bottle of shine. It's Huntington West-by-God-Virginia for pity's sake.

DU aint listening. They think they have the Father exposed as a fraud and are right now besides themselves with glee, hoping that this is their "Rathergate". It'll be a day or two before they come down to earth. Such is life in the DU echo chamber

Sorry for the multiple posts, but like I said, at first blush it looked like they were on to something, but they really haven't asked many questions, like why Parlock would expect to get away with framing the union when the union could just say, "We've never seen that guy before." If the guy who tore the sign was really freeper spiderman9, the union would have outed him first thing this morning.

That's why liberals think they're so smart: They can be very clever, but for only about half the time it takes to get to the right answer. And after basing their ideology on spoon-fed propaganda for years, they really aren't question people, but template people.

I was being sarcastic. I was responding to a post that said: "I question the timing of this" and I responded with what I thought was sarcasm in the same vein. You're the third or fourth person tonight to have taken me literally, so clearly my sarcasm was far more subtle than I thought. I won't forget /sarcasm in the future.

I hope by now everyone has found the thread telling that the President has sent Sophia another poster, and a signed picture, along with a personal note.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I caught it, right off the bat.

Once again I'd like to say thanks everybody! Thanks for the support and thanks for the welcome to Freepers territory. I don't think I've ever received such a warm welcome before. I know Sophia will be thrilled by the poster the President is sending. I was the one holding her when she got to hug him last week and I've never seen her more excited. Mom and Dad have been keeping her updated on what's going on. I realize she's only 3, but she is a bright one for her age. And yeah, spiderman9 is my brother...some I know weren't too sure.

[RandallFlagg]

You folks are the picture of American greatness!

Enjoy your stay.

I believe ya! If Tonkin says you are who you are, you ARE who you are!

So....tell me. Are you the big sister or the little sister? I have 2 older brothers....I was just wondering if you need any useless advice.

In all seriousness, I'm SO HAPPY that in spite of the idiot who took on your little sister, tough dude that he was, that you've been contacted by THE PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!....and that you've found Free Republic!!!

Yikes. You have it down to a 'T'. The only thing missing is a proper [lesbian parent foster] home, where evil male influences won't harn the poor little girl.

[Mia T]

thank you. :)

Folks,
Here is a copy of a post that was posted on the AARP site by some left winger who is a Kerry supporter. These people are evil and dangerous.
Freepers,
I read from the AARP site at times and just a few minutes ago I came across this from one of our Liberal Kerry lovers.
From: wittke Sep-16 8:56 am

I read this after spending the last few days reading Burkett's rants and I was struck how close this guy's style is to Burkett's. Or maybe I need time away from the Rather Kinky Kinko Gate.

[MaggiesDad]

I am sorry one of my so called "brothers" did this, Most union guys I work with are decent people who see through the Kerry flipflops. There are so many Bush supporting union guys and gals here in WI.

[kanawa]

The union issued a statement that they have dealt with the union worker who tore the sign from the little girl's hands.

Do you have a link for that?
