But what the heck is this story really about? The DU sucks butt however, if this tale is true, then come on gimmie a freekin' break.

1) Both the girls brother and sister have registered on FR. Sis herself has hotly denied that the union thug in the photo is her brother:

The place where this incident took place was not an official Kerry rally, so one would assume that the kids would be safe, at an airport at the very least:
"I'd just like to point out that this was not a Kerry/Edwards "event" or "rally" or anything of the sort. John Edwards went to the airport for the same reason you and I do: To get on a plane. Since he was passing through, the airport set aside an area for people to come gawk and maybe hope to shake his hand if his schedule allowed for it (which apparently his schedule did, as it turns out). Thus, regardless of what Parnock did or his underlying motivations for doing it, he was doing it somewhere where he had every right to be."
"If he had been interfering with a Kerry/Edwards rally in a place they had booked for a private event, then he would definitely deserve excoriation regardless of the details of his actions. But this was just was some John Edwards fans waiting by a fence on public property. There's no reason Parnock couldn't be there too."

Now one can expect some sort of violence when you infiltrate a private rally of theirs, which is what he did twice in the past, but this was not a private rally as I understand it.
It is much more likely that he agitates the Democrats in his community and they are striking back. It takes a lot of guts to stand in the middle of a group of Kerry radicals, and apparently he does it regularly.
Personally, we have had several things done to our cars; our Ronald Reagan memorial was destroyed by someone who wrote "white" slander all over his picture; we've had signs stolen and ripped; we even caught the city garbage men burying our Bush signs under a pile of leaves. We were also put me on every liberal mailing list out there, from NARAL to NOW. (The Sierra Club sticker is on my Ford Excursion! It baffles them.)
The more visible we get, the more angry they get, and the more they attempt to intimidate us. I assume I'm speaking for Parlock when I say, "We don't care and they won't stop us."
BTW, the union thug next to Parlock is holding a cell phone, not a piece of the sign.
The Code Pink bimbos tried that at Fox News. Gael Murphy and Jodie Evans BOTH put their hands on the sign carried by the smallest woman opposing them. LIBERALS stink. They will take away everyone else's rights if they ever get power. Listen to how they talk about "free speech", like "Fox lies, so they should be silenced." Even a liberal professor of journalism on AirHead America warned them that they should not try that because it's unAmerican to silence critics when the "truth" can't be proved in a conclusive way. In other words, you can't silence people for opinions.
Did you read the Union's apology?
By the way, look at "attaturks" profile in that vile stinkblog and consider the source.
Check out post #33 on this thread. Seems the union came down on the thug who did this, so it couldn't possibly have been Parlock's son.
