looks like mr parlock shoved someone during that crying child incident!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

according to this eyewitness account inour local paper today:


Parlock didn’t give media whole story

I stood near Phil Parlock as the crowd awaited Edwards’ arrival. During the wait, he teased his young son by tapping on the boy’s head and saying, "Nothing in there, nobody’s home." What lousy parenting, I thought. Little did I know the worst was yet to come.

What was the man thinking? Did he deliberately bring his children to be used as shields against partisan crowd reaction or was he trying to create a media incident?

At one point, a group surrounded Parlock and chanted "Bush has got to go!" I couldn’t see everything clearly, but the chanting stopped when Parlock shoved someone. A man yelled, "Get Secret Service. He just pushed a guy in a firefighter’s T-shirt."

I have no idea if the man Parlock shoved was actually a firefighter, but I do know if Parlock was being completely honest, he would reveal the shoving incident to the media.

Parlock declares he behaves respectfully, but that simply isn’t so. It isn’t respectful to deceptively smuggle signs into an event where signs aren’t permitted.

If he wants to protest openly and honestly, that is one thing, but when he depends on shadowy, fraudulent behavior to make political statements, he falls into an ethical abyss.

1. did we ever find out if the guy in the union teeshirt was his son?

what a creep!

2. Its good to finally know more of the facts, however,

there is nothing that can be done with these people.
There's a time to stop beating a dead horse, and people like
him are out to make trouble no matter what. (Kinda like drug
mules, only for politicians).

4. Drug mules for politicians

Very good analogy. Mind if I spread that gem around?

8. Not at all -

3. Why would someone shout "Get Secret Service" if Parlock

shoved a guy in a firefighter shirt? Is the Secret Service protecting guys in firefighter shirts?

5. That is weird

Unless he pushed Edwards???

7. Then call the local police

The SS doesn't deal with that stuff.

9. A protester would never have been allowed into a Bush event-

at least not without getting his/her ass kicked by the freepers.
