So Parlock's stunt was direct response to the Golstar mother incident
Edited on Sat Sep-18-04 12:00 PM by SilasSoule
The footage of the woman being arrested (shown only on Olberman, I believe) really managed to get the Bush Cabal some emotional, gut-wrenching bad press. You can't buy the type of visceral reaction that viewers will experience by watching a greiving mother asking her governmenment for a redress of her greivances, being hualed away crminial style, for daring to ask the first lady a question.

My take is that Rove needed a rapid response of the same kind. Just as emotional and gut wrenching as watching a goldstar mother being handcuffed and hauled away. Something like a crying little girl being victimized by the evil and sinister Democrats would do just fine. Karl remembered about Parlock's theatre troupe and gave him a call. The Parlock incident happened the next day right?

1. I thought the exact same thing!
That this was there way of covering up the Gold Star mother incident. Of course their cover-up got more attention then the Gold Star thing from the "liberal" media. These people will stop at nothing and will do or say anything to remain in power. Makes you wonder what they're covering up that we don't know about!

4. SOP
Standard operating procedure for the repukes.

Did this incident really get more press than the Goldstar mother story? I don't watch the teev much so I don't know.

12. Unbelievably, even with such a troll, it was a very dull thread.
And he was still living as of about an hour ago.
