There was no assault, okay folks



This photo is totally staged. The fellow on the left is very possibly the girls older brother, based on a pic of the whole family that was posted on another thread.

The piece of sign in her hands has been carefully cut to show that it is definitely a Bush/Cheney sign. Gee she just happened to hang onto the piece in the middle of the sign? Plus, the edges are way too straight.

There are NO PICTURES of the actual assault and the only reported account of the incident is the father's story. No eyewitness accounts?

Add all that to the fact that this man has done this sort of thing with his kids numerous times in the past and always brings along the same photographer?

It is amazing how quickly folks are to accept these sort of reports as gospel and to believe whatever the media dishes out, with very little factual evidence to back it up.

Get a grip folks, this is another Rovian distraction and we bit the bait, hook, line and sinker.

1. You're right...
...that sign was not torn. The edges are too clean. And tell me, if you were the parent and someone had done this to your child - skipping over the stupidity of giving your child a Bush sign at a Kerry/Edwards event - would you just be standing there and not doing a thing???? Bull Shit!!!!!!

2. She's not even holding the sign
She has her hands on daddy's head. He's holding the piece of the sign for the photo op.

Besides who puts a crying child up on their shoulders? A normal reaction is to hug a child to your chest and focus on comforting her. Instead, he is more concerned with getting a good picture.

7. Wow, great catch...
...what a freaking asshole that dad has to be to do this to his kid. And that has got to be the son/brother standing next to him.

3. My personal thought at a glance. . .
The little blonde boy on the right hand side of the frame has his fist clenched and appears to be from the same family (just has a family resemblance). What do you wanna bet he did what brothers do and slugged his sister?

Rezmutt already revealed the truth about this Freeper, and I have an odd feeling that the kid with his fist clenched is who actually made the girl cry.

8. Did you notice, too...
...how much the older boy on the left and the little girl look alike. The shape of their faces is so similar.

12. I noticed the resemblance morer in the other picture
of the whole family in front of the military truck (in another thread I think). The oldest brother by the truck looks quite a bit like the guy holding the torn sign in this pic.

4. Please give REZMUTT credit for breaking this.
He did the true research that exposed Parlock's pattern of using his kids in his disruption of Democratic events.

13. Yes, REZMUTT nailed it
Sorry, I haven't been able to get on DU for almost an hour.

Here's the pic of the family, from the link below:

9. I haven't seen such...
And I think the OP means that the child on the right side of the photo (to Parlock's left) with his fists clenched is the son.

That is a fact...in a photo in another thread I started, the caption identifies the little blond boy as his son--Alex, I think.

A side note...in 2000, Parlock put a rubber Bush mask on the little blond boy and then placed him on his shoulders in an attempt to shake Bush's hand. This guy is a few bricks short of a shithouse. :-)

14. See above
The little blond boy in the family pic is definitely the same kid making the fist.
