One note about the NC firebombing

[RandySF]

Who here remembers, in 2008, when a woman wrote a "B" on her face and said that a group of black men attacked her and wrote on her face? That's why I can't dismiss the idea that we don't have a similar situation.

2. Like Rove planting a bug in his own candidates office one time.

It happens a lot. Still Democrats must come down hard on whomever did this just in case they were her supporters who did this.

3. i wonder what became of the Backwards B girl

she was like 20 when it happened so would be around 28 now.

4. Yes, several people here brought that up.

It's certainly not outside the realm of possibility that it was done by Trump supporters, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if that turned out to be the case. Did you notice how quick Trump was to blame it on Hillary supporters? But unlike Trump, we should probably refrain from pointing fingers until more facts become available.

5. Who here remembers Phil Parlock?

You have to feel sorry for Phil Parlock. I mean, the guy was just trying to exercise his First Amendment rights at a John Kerry campaign event, and he was viciously attacked by Democratic thugs. They even made his daughter cry!



"They just pounced on us," said Phil Parlock, "She was crying; they were pushing and shoving her." My God - will those evil Democrats stop at nothing? John Kerry must hate children! Actually, it looks like it's Phil Parlock who hates children - see, this isn't the first time Mr. Parlock has made it into the papers after being "pounced on" at a Democratic rally. After he and his 12-year-old son Louis smuggled Bush signs into an Al Gore event back in 2000, Louis apparently hoisted a girl onto his shoulders. According to the Charleston Daily Mail, "'She walked up and said 'I'll get on your shoulders and hold a sign,' " Louis said. While she was sitting on Louis' shoulders waving a Bush-Cheney sign, a man who identified himself as a volunteer for the Gore campaign tried to pull the sign out of the girl's hands, Parlock said. He pulled so hard that Louis and the girl fell over. 'That sounds like an exaggeration,' said Sarah Feinberg, spokeswoman for Gore's West Virginia campaign." And - would you believe it - Parlock was a victim of nasty liberals at a Clinton campaign event back in 1996 as well! Again, according to the Charleston Daily Mail, "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' ... 'It must have been a strict Democrat who did this,' Parlock said." Yup, our Phil certainly has a habit of complaining to the media about Democratic "thuggery." Kinda makes you wonder why he took his young daughter to the event last week. But then, once you realize that Parlock appears to have a relationship with the photographer that snapped the above pic, and that the man wearing the union shirt holding the ripped up sign looks suspiciously like one of his sons, and that Parlock even happened to be around when his local Republican party headquarters were shot at by a unknown assailant ...well, it just kinda makes you think. Funny how our Phil always seems to end up in the wrong place at the wrong time - with the media in tow.

7. Go for it....

After a long day watching three football games, a NASCAR race, and one baseball game, I'm going to bed.

8. Most of the replies in the news of the fire, are about her carving the backwards "B" on her own face

And, how sad and pathetic it was of her. Sadly, the conservative side seems to connect to this type of activity to help their candidate.
