Republican staged assault on his three year old girl at Kerry/Edwards rally

September 17, 2004 — Phil Parlock and three of his children visited the Tri-State Airport in Huntington, W.Va., yesterday to catch a glimpse of Democratic vice-presidential candidate John Edwards. Parlock, a staunch Republican, and his family were there to show support for the Bush-Cheney ticket when they were assaulted by Kerry supporters, according to a report in the local paper, The Herald-Dispatch.

What the Herald-Dispatch failed to report, however, is that Parlock also claimed to be the victim of similar assaults at the hands of Democratic renegades in 1996 and 2000 — a fact that casts doubts on Parlock's new claims.

Parlock's latest claim certainly is filled with the sort of drama that makes for a fine photo op. Sophia, his three-year-old daughter, was holding a Bush-Cheney sign when angry Democrats ripped the sign from her tiny hands, making her burst into tears. A photographer with the Associated Press happened to be right there to capture the heartbreaking tears leaking from Sophia's innocent eyes as she perched on her father's shoulders.

Compare this latest event with what allegedly happened to Parlock's family in 2000, when they tried to show support for Bush at a rally for Al Gore. At that rally, son Louis, then 12, had signs ripped right from his hands, according to a front-page report in the October 28, 2000, edition of the Charleston (W.Va.) Daily Mail. "I did not expect people to practically attack us," said Louis.

Or to what happened at a pro-Clinton event in 1996, as also reported in the Daily Mail. As he tried to display a sign that read "Remember Vince Foster," Parlock claims that Clinton supporters knocked him to the ground. "It must have been a strict Democrat who did this," said Parlock

A very good comment, and particularly from a Kerry supporter.

THIS Republican says he had no business bringing his kids and basically using them.

Beyond the pale, IMO.

"Republican staged assault on his three year old girl at Kerry/Edwards rally "

Is Dan Rather at work again here? How can a family holding signs, which are ripped away, be said to have "staged assault"?

They clearly were bothered by Democrats who are lovers of "freedom, diversity, free love, and free speech" - as long as you agree with them.

And don't forget the "children"

Did you know Kerry served in Vietnam?

PS: we're saving our Vince Foster signs for Hillary's campaign.

Hoosier,

What the hell did that all mean?

And an "I crave attention and am not above using my kids to get it thing." Don't forget that.

And how do we know that Democrats didn't set up this guy to show up as a Republican, get his daughter's sign ripped down and then get caught, making himself, a "non-Kerry supporter" look bad? I think this is a conspiracy

-- At any rate, he's a moron and I hope DHS takes his kids away.

No, chances are he didn't. But he smokes TEH CRACK and drinks TEH MOONSHINE--so it's probably best to ignore the drug-addled rants.

The title of this thread is using an absolute statement, when in fact there is nothing in the article other than saying thing that happened in the past.

Also, it seems that before this article, greekchat members were saying that the kid should not have been brought to the rally. As soon as it might be fake, then it becomes some stupid thing that this guy did and some Democrats try to attack Republicans.

At the end of the day, if it's true, shame on the protestors. If it's not true, shame on the father. That is all.
