....and this is the group so concerned with "the children"...so much for Hillary's "village"





Sophia Parlock, 3, cries while seated on the shoulders of her father, Phil Parlock, a supporter of President Bush, after a Bush-Cheney sign she and her father were holding was torn up by another person standing in the crowd that had gathered to greet Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C.
(AP)

Nasty Mofo's indeed.
The SOB probably wandered off saying: "my actions might be fraudulent, but at least they are acurate"

That's sad!

It just proves the Kerry supporters are fanatics who don't care about individual rights like they say they do. All they are is a bunch of hot heads. Unfortunately, so is their leader, Mr. Kerry. Angry man attracts angry mob.

What it proves is that her father is an idiot, see "Stupid People Love Bush". Who in their right mind would take their very young daughter to a political demonstration ?

I seriously suggest that the social services take a good look at the conditions in the home.

You would want Social Services to get involved! LOL

Why is it that you libs don't remember anything past this one moment in time? Are you on earth every day just for a visit? Did you not see all the kids of the Kerry supporters at the Republican rallies? But that's beside the point.

What you're seeing here is hindsight vision....the little kid wouldn't be crying if her daddy hadn't taken her to that rally.....but you're off track....the little kid wouldn't be crying if some fanatic crazy terrorist type hadn't torn up her sign. She would have been fine being at the rally IF this had not happened. It wasn't the rally that caused this, it was the a*shole who tore up her sign.

It works like this....a person goes to the store and gets mugged. Is it the person's fault they got mugged because they went to the store or is it the mugger's fault for chosing to be an a*shole?

Likewise, it's not Bush who is ruining your life, it's you who want those with a stronger sense of personal responsiblity in a free world to take up the slack for you so you can go on being free to be lame and wallow in self pity over your decision to be lame.

Lets cut out all the political crap. This so-called parent put a very young girl in harms way. Dumbarse dad attended a political demo using a child as a shield. Comparisons with muggers are nonsense.

spot on. I have a 7 year old girl, I wouldnt take her to a rally of any shape or form.

Then again he might be from a southern state and that could be his wife/sister/girlfriend - or all of them.

You left wing goons must be kidding me. You can't take your daughter to see a political candidate now? Because the idiots may disagree with her a rip her sign,and its the kids fault?

all that plus the social services comment show the total moronic underpinning of the left,and Especially of Kerry supporters.

If it was a small girl holding a Kerry sign and the Bush people did it, you'd all be howling....buncha hippocrates.

That statement shows a ingrained ignorance.

That wasn't Santa Claus that the idiot took his child to see.

It appears that you're willing to exploit children. I recall seeing a posting where a so called security guard was beating a young woman protestor at a Bush meeting. I would assume that met with your approval. Using children as a shield also seems to meet with your approval. No proper parent would put their child in this position. This makes me very angry and I hope that the social services are looking into this.

You must be dellusional.

Below is an apology for this incident from the Union President:

Statement from the General President Regarding the Events in Huntington, WV


The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades believes in the fundamental right for civil discourse, freedom of speech and activism to support our candidates and issues.

What happened in Huntington, West Virginia 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.

I have personally taken steps to address this issue internally, and will take immediate disciplinary action to the fullest extent allowed under U.S. Department of Labor regulations and the constitution of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades.

It is my hope that this incident reminds all of our members that every last citizen in this country has the right to express his or herself freely. Not one single one of us has the right to tell them otherwise.

General President James A. Williams

You had to go and ruin all the liberals' fun!

But actually, I'm beginning to think these are not liberals we have on here at all. They're hate mongers! And they know their own kind apparently since they somehow must have known a Kerry rally was a dangerous place for Bush supporters to be.

too bad this story is PHONY..


Protester Watch, II

Bloggers of the pro-Bush persuasion, including Instapundit, have been furiously linking since last night to this photo, showing three-year-old Sophia Parlock crying while seated on the shoulders of her father, Phil Parlock, after having their Bush-Cheney sign torn up by Kerry-Edwards supporters in West Virginia.

But now, anti-Bush blogger Atrios, himself reproducing a post from Rising Hegemon, points out that Parlock has something of a history. "Amazingly, for the past three presidential elections he's managed to convince reporters that he's gotten attacked and gotten his signs stolen and destroyed. What are the odds?"

Scamming the Media, Parlock Style

By William Rivers Pitt
t r u t h o u t | Perspective

Friday 17 September 2004

Meet Phil Parlock. Parlock is a family man and a staunch Republican. Parlock has a very sad story to tell about how rotten Kerry supporters are. You see, they made his little girl cry.

Parlock was at a rally on Thursday to greet Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards, who was on a swing through West Virginia and Ohio. Parlock brought his three children and a Bush/Cheney sign to show support for his beloved President. According to him, a Kerry-supporting union guy wearing an IUPAT shirt ripped up the Bush sign his little girl was carrying, making her cry.

Terrible, right? A sign that our national politics have descended into these kind of brutish tactics, right? An embarrassing incident for the Kerry campaign, right? The media certainly thinks so, and has dutifully reported on the incident.

For the third time.

A report from the Charleston Daily Mail, August 27, 1996:

"The Huntington man said he was knocked to the ground by a Clinton supporter when he tried to display a sign that read 'Remember Vince Foster,' the deputy White House counsel who committed suicide in a Washington, D.C., park. His death has become the subject of much debate among Clinton opponents...Parlock said some of the crowd tried to make other anti-Clinton demonstrators feel unwelcome. He estimated that about 150 Dole supporters attended the rally, but their signs couldn't be seen for most of the rally."

A report from the Charleston Daily Mail, October 28, 2000:

Phil Parlock didn't expect to need all 12 of the Bush-Cheney signs he and his son Louis smuggled in their socks and pockets into the rally for Vice President Al Gore. But each time they raised a sign, someone would grab it out of their hands, the two Huntington residents said. And sometimes it got physical. 'I expected some people to take our signs,' said Louis, 12. 'But I did not expect people to practically attack us.' The two said they didn't go to the Friday morning rally to start trouble."

For the third Presidential election in a row, poor Phil Parlock has been abused by terrible Democrats while trying to support the Republican candidate, and while trying to introduce his children to the art of retail politics. Is this just a string of bad luck for Phil?

[...]

Take a look at the sprightly Parlock family, posing beside a giant military vehicle:

Take a long look at the young man in the gray shirt, and then take another look at the alleged union guy who tore up the sign. Am I the only one who sees a striking resemblance?





It appears we have a clever fellow here who has convinced the same Charleston newspaper three different times that he was victimized by Democrats at rallies. He does not seem to have any problem with involving his own children in the game, and may have even gone so far as to have one of his sons play the role of 'Democrat Attacker.'

This would be funny, in a sad sort of way, but for two things.

First, this is how campaigns get mired in utterly mindless trivialities. Instead of discussing the upswell of catastrophic violence in Iraq, we get to hear about poor Phil and his crying daughter. There are important matters to discuss, matters central to the future of the country, but media tricks like this blow the whole show off-track. That's bad.

The second reason this isn't so funny happened two weeks ago. A gathering of Republicans at the local GOP headquarters got a nasty scare when someone fired a bullet at the building. About two dozen people were there to watch the Republican Convention in New York when a single shot hit the window.

Dee Delancy of WCHS news in Charleston reported on the incident, and interviewed several people who were there. One of them was Phil Parlock, who said, "I think this is definitely, definitely an act that was by an extremist kind of thing."

Parlock was there.

This could all be a series of strange coincidences. Parlock could simply be an unlucky guy who always seems to be around when Democrats do something wretched, who took abuse in 1996, 2000 and 2004 for supporting Republicans, who happened to have the same newspaper on hand to report his story each time, and who also happened to be on the scene of a shooting incident that made Democrats look like frightening would-be assassins.

This could be a series of coincidences, but someone should take a long look at this fellow regardless. Manufacturing a few sign-ripping incidents isn't a terribly big deal. But he appears to be ######-bent on making Democrats look like thugs, and there has been a shooting incident involving him on top of everything else. The media, which may well have been repeatedly scammed by Parlock, might want to do some further checking.


FULL STORY: http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/091804X.shtml

more on the story....


http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1218914/posts

At the Democratic Underground forum, Several people expressed skepticism about the photos, and they did a little internet research. After reading what these DUers uncovered, it appears that Phil Parlock has a near decade-long history of “victimhood,” which he incited by taking his children to Democratic rallies and creating skirmishes—the stories about which have been reported in two West Virginia newspapers.

[...]

As the little girl’s photo circulated the internet, many members of Democratic Underground questioned the incident. After scouring the internet, they discovered that the photographer, Randy Snyder, who captured the image of the crying toddler, is chief photo editor of one newspaper that has frequently featured Phil Parlock’s conservative activism and interned with another newspaper that carried article about Parlock. Therefore, the photograph was not just a lucky shot by some AP photographer who happened to witness the ugly scene. Could Snyder and Parlock have planned the nasty shot? Could they have been working in collusion? Would a true journalist stoop so low?

ATTENTION MODERATORS

due to the fact that this story has been exposed as a scam by Republicans to sling mud on Democrats, which in the process has endangered small children and has involved shootings....

i respectfully request that this thread be retitled:

"FILTHY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS"




it is only fair and just.


thank u.

Considering they used a small child for this piece of sleaze you are being too kind.

"FILTHY CONSERVATIVE CHILD MOLESTERS"

notice how the Repugs have shut their traps.


only a Repug would exploit a small child for political scams, and endanger lives by having someone shoot at their own Republican headquarters to make someone look bad.

terrible.

u Repugs should be ashamed of yourselves.

even MORE on this story...



http://mediamatters.org/items/200409170013

The photo of Sophia Parlock was taken by Randy Snyder. Apparently, Snyder is not an Associated Press photographer; he is listed as "chief photographer" on the masthead of The Herald-Dispatch, which bills itself as "the online news authority for Huntington, West Virginia, Southern Ohio and Eastern Kentucky."

The Parlock family has been featured numerous times in the Herald-Dispatch, including in a July 5 article about an Independence Day rally attended by President George W. Bush. The July 5 article also featured photographs by the same Randy Snyder.

On September 17, Parlock was interviewed by nationally syndicated Clear Channel radio host Glenn Beck. Regarding the Parlock family's attendance at a brief appearance by Senator John Edwards in Huntington, W.Va., at which the photo of Sophia Parlock was taken, her father recounted:

PARLOCK: The painter's union guys took a couple signs off of us. ... Um, some women and old ladies did it too. I mean, but you can see, clearly in that picture, he has a piece of the sign in his hand and he is dropping it onto the ground.

Minutes after his interview, Beck apparently received information about Parlock's past encounters, saying that "the blogs are going crazy." Following is an excerpt from Beck's second interview of Phil Parlock:

BECK: So you've done this -- and you admit to this -- you've done this ...

PARLOCK: But there's a certain consistency there, and you just read it. We are consistently quiet and peaceful ...

BECK: Mm-hmm.

PARLOCK: Glenn, look, I work on -- I, I, I said this before, I shouldn't tell my secrets, but -- I work on a subliminal level; I don't go after the press. The press is easy. Working on people to change their minds is harder.

BECK: OK.

PARLOCK: I'm not a troublemaker. We -- we've -- we have gone to rallies -- my family and I -- we stand there quietly, and we're viewed as a threat, for standing there quietly.



AUDIO OF THIS REPUBLICAN IDIOT PRACTICALLY ADMITTING HIS SCAM:

http://mfile.akamai.com/6713/wma/glennbeck...hilparlock2.asx

Huey, I've got some really cool swamp land you might want to buy and build a house on!

exploiting 3 year old children to stage a fake "attack" is dispicable.


is this what u Repugs do? is this what u stand for?? is this what Bush is all about???


SHAME ON U.


thats just filthy.

Who are you, really?




SHAME ON U.


thats just filthy.

ok.. what does this have to do with the topic?

personally attacking me with snide little rhetorical quips proves nothing.

nor does it change the fact that this story was a complete FRAUD, and only serves to make YOU look worse than it was intended to make the Democrats look.


good nite.

CLEO, while i applaud your efforts at spending a Friday nite playing Ace Ventura Net Detective, that is completely irrelevent to the topic of this post.

and once again, it doesnt change the facts of this story.


but feel free to join in the discussions at TampaHipHop.com

dont be a lurker!

Nothing to do with the topic, but you are a lie Huey.

a lie about what?

if u would have asked what other message boards i post on, i would have gladly told u.

u can check www.liberalforum.org as well, if that suits u.

does it surprise u that ::GASP:: i post on other message boards? my viewpoints are consistent throughout, although the language and subject matter on TampaHipHop.com isnt relegated to just politics, and is more just casual, tongue-in-cheek discussion amongst personal friends who all live in the Tampa Bay area.

but if it makes u feel better to take conversations out of context and use it to make me look bad in a way that is completely unrelated to the topic of this post, be my guest.

i invite EVERYBODY to look at www.TampaHipHop.com

OK you know that with posts like this i will respond. Please look back at the million mom march about 6 months ago and see for yourself how the liberals used kids to make their political points. To me this guy sounds like a schill. a purposeful instigator on the same scale we usually see from the Dems. If this story is accurate then i find it dispicipable but please don't be a typical over reactionary like most Dems are and use one guys actions to slander all conservatives. Thank you very much.

and likewise, i would appreciate if every negative story concerning a Democrat wasnt used to bad John Kerry and all Democrats.

look at the title of this post.. if the premise of this story were correct, which it wasnt, obviously it was only ONE or TWO lone individuals, not all Democrats..

but in typical fashion, the incident was used to slander ALL democrats as "Filthy Liberal Democrats" (per title of this post).

Anything else to say? You were wrong! again........

Cleo, I'm not sure what you mean here. I don't see where anyone wrote it or if anything was edited out. Can you enlighten me?

Now, it this turkey is faking events, he deserves what he gets. And it does not matter whether or not he is a Republican. I am perplexed that some of our Right members are defending him. You look like the Democrats here.

And remember that the Democrats do not have a lock on dishonesty and dirty tricks: just the majority.

But what has me intrigued is the statement above that Cleo brought up. Perhaps Cleo will reply for me. I have been out all day long.

John, she found if not here on the bearpit.com. but on tampahiphop.com. Here you find the "intillectual" Huey, there you find the "street" Huey, aka AngryAkbar.

As far as the sign incident, I think it is legit. The union president certainly found it to be legit after his investigation, and wrote a letter of apology.

And the comment about doing white girls I find really crappy. I view guys like Huey as preditors of women. Their purpose in life is to get notches on their dong. He has the added purpose of trying to convince everyone how smart he is with his "i"s and "u"s. Hats off to Gore Lost for outing the dong.

Angry Akbar changed his avitar at tampahiphop, but here is his info:

I didn't have much use for Hooey before looking at tampahiphop.com, but now it's too obvious what a waste of time all his self-righteous jive is. I'm sorry but the guy is nothing but a ######.

LMAO. im still wondering what this has to do with the issue of this post?

u can "dig up" all the so-called dirt (that wasnt even buried in the first place) and try pathetically to beat me over the head with it, but it does NOTHING to disprove anything ive said on this board.

feel free to join in the discussion on TampaHipHop.com

there is a Politics & Religion forum reserved for intellectual discussion on that board (but u have to register first), and my posts in that forum are entirely consistent with everything ive posted here.

the General Discussion forum is reserved for personal friends from around the Tampa Bay metro area to communicate, joke around, argue, and bull####.

removed from that context, its easy to cherry pick and attempt to smear someone with it.


would anyone like to discuss the issues here, or do u wish to continue playing my unauthorized biographers? i'm free to answer any and all questions.

Oh man, this is some serious republitards OWNAGE !!!

Look how they all left with their tail between their legs, so much for courage and debate honnesty

Only the "blonde" with nothing to say (as usual) has dared to show up, and she probably doesn't know why she stepped into that thread

DODGE !!! DODGE !!! DODGE !!! Republitards, that's all you are good at !!!

exactly.

instead of commenting on the topic, these internet investigators decided to hunt down the other sites i post on and pop sh## about me.

lmao. Repug obfuscation at its finest.

Personally speaking huey i didn't know you were bilingual; you speak engish with us and eubonics with them. Go figure .

Personally, I do not see anything to debate. The possibility that the event was a set up is irrelevent. Huey or Angry Akbar has proved nothing, end of story.

Much more interesting to me is your biographical which gives your interest as donging old white ladies, and occupation as the same. The fact that they are stated on a different forum, is somewhat irrelevent, the fact is you have lost whatever respect you had from your adversaries. I do not think it will be regained. It has been nice having you around, but may I suggest politicalsoup.com. You will find Jim Morrison there, and I think you have lots in common.

consider it a talent.

i speak spanish too, so i guess that makes me trilingual.



and why is that?

its funny, when u want to use a story to bash Democrats for "brutally attacking" small children, it's relevent...

but when it turns out it was completely staged, and the Republicans EXPLOITED that small 3 year old girl in order to make Democrats look bad, its somehow "irrelevent".. ROFLMAO.

the hypocricy and double standards are incredible.



once again, its easy to take something out of context. as ive stated for the 10th time now, that message board is a way for offline friends from a large community (like Tampa Bay) to interact. since u have no clue as to the context of that interaction among FRIENDS, u wouldnt know what i meant by those comments.



LMAO who are u kidding? ive been disrespected on this board from DAY ONE, with name calling, personal attacks, and racial stereotyping.

trust me, the lack of respect is mutual.

Huey, this was not an interaction among friends, it was in your biographical. These were comments you said to define yourself to EVERYONE. Now back to donging old white ladies. Do you disrespect women in general, or just white women? You said that you were available to answer any questions.

BTW, don't you think that the gun is a little silly to show on the internet. It is probably plastic, and certainly ineffectual over the internet.

those were comments made on a site full of FRIENDS, who understand exactly what they mean. which is why u can look at all of those posts that Cleo, Gore_Lost and all the other Ace Ventura Net Detectives posted up, and virtually nobody is offended... even tho a significant number of them are white themselves.

why?

because they understand the context.

im sure it looks vulgar, nasty, abhorable, etc to outsiders.. but then again, its not meant for outsiders.

people from my generation and my environment have certain ways we talk amongst eachother that others dont understand.. some call it "jive", "ebonics", "slang", whatever.. and many of us have the ability to alternate between that language, and more standard, eloquent english.

in many ways its an advantage, because i am equally suited to communicate with different people on different levels in different circumstances.

consider it Ghetto-Satire.


as far as disrespecting women, i do no such thing, regardless of color. i have my personal preference and taste in women, which ironically doesnt happen to include old white ladies. lol.

as far as the gun, i dont necessarily see how it's any different than the avatars of people like John L, who has (im presuming) a picture of Jefferson with an assault rifle, and Gore_Lost, who has a picture of a hand holding a pistol.


any more questions?

as i said im free to answer any and all questions, as its evident most of u on this board have never actually had much interaction with folks like me.

however i'd rather discuss political issues, as my purpose for posting on this board is to find a greater understanding of the views of folks like u.

I have a question; why haven't you responded to my response to your post on the letter from the President thread ?

JohnL

Finally my faith in human nature is restored.

P.S. I don't know why you were banned either.

Just one question Hooey: Why are you such a jive dingleberry?

i dunno if my faith in human nature is restored, but John L deserves respect for admitting when members of his party do wrong.



well, he was provoking a moderator.. that's why he got banned.

do i agree? not in the least.

bring John L back!

JohnL was returned to his cell, where he belongs. Think of it, he can dream of heroic battles with a faceless enemy. He is more happy where he is now. He needs your prayer for support.

I still miss GOP4Life, he was a riot
