Blast from the Past: Phil Parlock, "Professional Victim of Mean Democrats"

[El Pinko]

So one of the posters here had their cars vandalized by right-wing thugs yesterday,

and it came to my attention that certain parties on another site are hinting that they might have done it themselves.


Those parties even had the nerve to put up this pic and caption to imply that there are a bunch of democrats out terrorizing innocent republicans:



Three-year-old Sophia Parlock cries while seated on the shoulders of her father, Phil Parlock, after having their Bush-Cheney sign torn up by Kerry-Edwards supporters on Thursday, Sept. 16, 2004, at the Tri-State Airport in Huntington, W.Va. Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards (news - web sites) made a brief stop at the airport as he concluded his two-day bus tour to locations in West Virginia and Ohio.

Never mind that Parlock was exposed as a fraud both here (Top Ten Conservative Idiots):

and at Media Matters:

Serial GOP: Media loves repeated Republican protester, alleged assault victim


On September 17, The Drudge Report home page featured a September 16 Associated Press photo of a 3-year-old girl, Sophia Parlock, holding a ripped Bush-Cheney '04 sign and crying as she sits on her father's shoulders. Drudge captioned the photo: "GIRL CRIES AFTER BUSH/CHENEY SIGN RIPPED BY THUGS...". Later that day, The Washington Times published an interview with the Parlock family, whom the paper described as "proudly patriotic."
....

Both The Washington Times and Drudge failed to mention that this is the third time the Parlock family has been involved in so-called assaults involving campaign signs.

As noted by the blog Rising Hegemon, Phil Parlock has claimed he was assaulted at a 1996 protest.

....

In 2000, Parlock found himself in yet another confrontation with Democrats at a campaign event





As usual, they lie. And there is no doubt in my mind that the poster whose cars were vandalized was telling the truth.
