2004-09-17

Three-year-old Sophia Parlock cries while seated on the shoulders of her father, Phil Parlock, after having their Bush-Cheney sign torn up by Kerry-Edwards supporters on Thursday, Sept. 16, 2004, at the Tri-State Airport in Huntington, W.Va. Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards made a brief stop at the airport as he concluded his two-day bus tour to locations in West Virginia and Ohio. (AP Photo/Randy Snyder)

#21  Kerry's ultra-left-nazis showing their true colours once more.

This election is sooooo VERY important! 'THEY' (The Kerryists) must be prevented from taking out their wrath on America.

#18  I was so pissed when I saw this last night that I sent an email to the President of the IUPAT.

Fair play to him. He did issue an apology and promised to discipline this thug.

If I were a union painter in Huntington, I'd kick this guy's ass and vote Bush just to spite him.

#17  As I said yesterday, typical Union man. He is proud to be a union man. He does exactly what his union bosses tell him. In short a goon from the goon squad. When those dumb sons of bitches get in my face I relish telling them to FOAD. He clearly is enjoying himself. Which I am sure the DNC is proud to see plastered all over the WEB.

Have you ever wondered what the point of an adult wearing their baseball cap backwards for no apperent reason is. I can only think of one reason to announce to everyone "I am a dick weed." So the caption should include "I am a dick weed and I support Jon Kerry."

#16  ...flunkie with the punk ass-backward baseball hat...

who is wearing the patronizing face of a parent amused by a childish tantrum, rather than the face of a sober adult disgusted by the crowd's venom spilling over towards a little girl.

they will take "immediate disciplinary action to the full extent allowed under U.S. Department of Labor regulations and the constitution of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades"
Which means they won't do a goddam thing except slap that yutz upside the head for making them look bad in public. (but not for what he actually did.)

#14  Who else would love to be able to stomp a mud-hole in the butt of that metrosexual sKerry/Ednards loving, cocky p.o.s. painter goon flunkie with the punk ass-backward baseball hat?

#13  IUPAT has issued an apology and states they will take "immediate disciplinary action to the full extent allowed under U.S. Department of Labor regulations and the constitution of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades" (Hat tip: Michelle Malkin).

#11  Immediately, he said, the family was set upon by supporters of Mr. Edwards and Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry — "mostly the painters union guys" — who "started stealing my signs." Soon, "old women and college students joined in the fracas," said Mr. Parlock...

#8  The Dems got their slogan wrong-it doesn't take a village to raise a child; apparently, it just takes a Bush-hating crowd. They surely showed that little girl just who they are, didn't they: a zealous, ignorant mob.

#7  "The Democrat Party is the party of tolerance and caring and kindness. And if you disagree with that we'll beat the crap out of you."

It's a little long for a bumper sticker, though.

#2  If I have some time today, I'm going to collect stories of Kerry supporters attacking Bush supporters. I know of at least three cases.
