"Just how desperately does a man need to be b*tch-slapped when he stoops to tear up the sign of a child? Just how desperately do the people in the background need to taught a lesson in "pick on someone your own size, moron" language when they mock and taunt a crying three-year-old?
Just how freakin' desperately does someone need to open a Texas-sized can of Whoop-*ss on these Kerry supporters?
They need it as desperately as John Kerry need votes. They need it as desperately as this country needs to wake up and see that THESE mofo's are the people John Kerry calls "the salt of the earth" They need to be pummeled and schooled in the ways of civilazation as desperately as their mama needs to beat them for being the best excuse for birth control God ever made.
They need to be taught a lesson desperately, my friends, desperately. I propose we teach them that if they want to act like Bruce Dern from "The Cowboys", we will act like John Wayne and kick their *ss.
If this is what Kerry calls "support", then Kerry is an atrocity-committing, civilian-shooting, village-burning babykiller.
I rest my case. "
Freeped - still at 3.58

I guess it was just too damning for AP to leave up there.
Again, the internet will stop them from changing history. I love it!
According to this blog, this Phil Parlock has done this sort of thing several times before, and has been assaulted in the past, so he can't really claim to be surprised at the crowd reaction. But, most devestatingly, the goon with the reversed baseball cap bears a striking resemblance to his own son.
This may be a set-up from the git-go!
See the new thread: Evidence that the crying girl was staged (a summary) (DU Barf Alert)
Today's Washington Times proves that it wasn't the son who did it, just a Kerry union thug.
Thanks. I'll check it out!
'Ridiculous' rumorshttp://www.washtimes.com/national/inpolitics.htmWhen 3-year-old Sophia Parlock's crying face became nationally famous Thursday, some Democrats charged that it was part of a hoax.
Photographs of a West Virginia campaign rally showed a man holding pieces of the crying girl's Bush-Cheney sign, after her father said Democrats had torn the sign apart. The man was wearing a T-shirt identifying himself as a member of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT).
But on DemocraticUnderground.com and other Internet sites, some Democrats said that the man in the photo was actually the girl's older brother.
"Ridiculous," Sophia's father, Phil Parlock, said of the hoax rumors. Huntington, W.Va., photographer Randy Snyder — who took the photos on assignment from Associated Press — also said the man in the IUPAT shirt was not Mr. Parlock's son.
"The guy was cussing [Mr. Parlock]. ... I thought they were going to come to blows," said Mr. Snyder, who said he was familiar with the Parlock family from years of covering political events in the Huntington area.
State lawmaker Kelli Sobonya, a Republican from the same town as the Parlocks, who says she has known the family for years, said the man in the union shirt is "definitely not" Mr. Parlock's son.
On Friday, IUPAT's president, James A. Wilson, issued this statement: "What happened in Huntington, W.Va., 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." IUPAT spokesman Gavin McDonald says the union will conduct a "step-by-step, thorough" investigation of the incident.
Another fact that roused Democrats' suspicion of Mr. Parlock was news reports that he had been roughed up under similar conditions at Democratic campaign events in 1996 and 2000.
"There is a consistency, in that I'm quiet, I have signs, I raise my signs, I get pummeled," Mr. Parlock told the Charleston (W.Va.) Gazette-Mail.
Still, I will be more comfortable when they produce the thug in question. If it really is such a small town, somebody's gotta know who this guy is...
Unless the union thug was imported for purposes just like this, of course.
