You're right, but it's about that knuckle dragger next to them. Assuming he is the guy who ripped up her sign, what the hell was he thinking?

Oh yes, I agree. The person who ripped up the sign is mean and a creep. Only a big bully would do this to a little girl since there really won't be any consequences. I mean she can't take him on, and the father can't confront him since his little daughter is there. It's easy to pick on someone a small fraction of your size and strength.

Why?

Has politics got that confrontational or competative? If so people need to take a step back and realize what jackasses they are....

Here is a link I posted in another thread.

He has pulled this kind of thing the last 3 election.

Looks like you can't say much about those anti-Kerry types either.

Have we forgotten?

THE KID CAN'T VOTE.

sounds like this guy is a total chode. and to bring his kids in on this for a sick publicity stunt? that's low.
i remain a bush supporter, but wish this guy wasn't representing republicans.

Something makes me think that people who take their kids to political stuff are just like people who take their kids to church- they're trying to instill some values on their child.

it's reasons like this jerk that you shouldn't believe everything that is reported as being true in the media. if this guy hadn't already done this a few other times, people would still think he's legit.

people are so quick to jump on the "evil Kerry supporter" when it should really be the "evil bush supporter" who has the nerve to involve his kid in his nonsense

Is it too early to point out that it's "the media" that is exposing his tactics? If not the media, then who?

What sort of values does one learn going to a political rally?

At least in church there are stories that can teach children lessons about being a better person. Tell me the last Bush or Kerry rally that encouraged people to be better in what they do.

That's not the point of politics. Kids still can't vote.

Probably.

To quote the first Mayor Daley, "Vote early and often."

My parents and 2 oldest sisters havent lived in Chicago since 1978, but they probably are still voting there.

wow, this is a great thread. that poor lil girl, but true, she shouldn't have been there. i thought the same thing when i was at a bush rally in town. the kids just got in the way of the crazy mob. but at our rally there were not kerry supporters anywhere near the rest of the crowd. very deliberately.

i'm loving mrblonde's comment and i totally agree with krazy. those are great a comments. if i knew how to do a signature i would totally put both of them in my sig.

You know what's really neat? That Kerry and Edwards let Republicans go to their rallies. See, I would love to go to a Bush rally and see what happens, but I never can get invited. The Bush twins come to my school and I can't go see them either because I don't have an invite.

It's harder to get into a Republican political event than it is to get into a TKE Toga Party the week before finals.

2600 magazine had some good coverage of the RNC protests at http://www.2600.com/rnc2004/index.html

Some people I know were also arrested while protesting the RNC.
