<br>Sophia Parlock, 3, cries while seated on the shoulders of her father, Phil Parlock, a supporter of President Bush, after a Bush-Cheney sign she and her father were holding was torn up by another person standing in the crowd that had gathered to greet Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C.<br><br>

Phoney set up debunked. Staged incident by using his 21-year old son in Kerry union shirt to make his daughter cry, bring your own photographer, repeated similar stunt in 2000. Read this linked thread and tell me that this guy Phil Parlock, isn't a true poser. And using his kids this way is pretty disgusting.<br><br> Phil Parlock outed <br><br><br>His son, on the left holding torn up Bush sign, seems pretty amused.<br>

<br>The lady's son was killed in Iraq. She's being hauled away because she had the guts to say so outside of the venue where Laura Bush was speaking!<br><br><br>

Interesting theory. Does seem a little weird the little girl would cry so much if her brother ripped up the sign.<br>But, this is certainly something to look into and should be much easier to prove true than Rather will have with the memos.<br><br>Dean Davis<br><br>-----<br>"I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein. And when the president made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him." -- John Kerry (D) - May 3, 2003

Interesting theory! The thing happens more than once, gets photographed, story and photos in the papers and Drudge. How come he's looking like the victim and not comforting his kid? Why is his son standing next to him in a Kerry shirt smiling? He's a Republican trouble maker concocting bogus situations to make the Dems look evil. Amazingly, for the past three presidential elections he's managed to convince reporters that he's gotten attacked, gotten his signs stolen and destroyed and his children harassed. What are the odds? I'm sure this *sshole will be the next new martyr to sell his story on Hannity.<br>

AP article says 'inside', yet the video shown on Olberman's Countdown showed the incident happening outside.<br><br>

Right, it's a theory (just like the Rather memos are still technically a theory). Why a theory? Because it hasn't been proven. The thoery rests upon the notion that the kid in the Kerry shirt is his son. While the photographic comparsion is compelling I'd say it's not conclusive. Like I said with further investigation it should be easy to prove or dis-prove conclusivly though.<br><br>Dean Davis<br><br>-----<br>"I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein.

An do you think anyone in the media is going to investigate this incident or they'll print the picture and story, as Michael posted, and that will be it?<br><br>My hunch is that Countdown will be the only show that will look into it, or at least mention that it's been considered suspicious and present some info looking further than the original 'class act' outrage. <br><br>It's pretty incredible how the collective power of the internet can spread lies, search for truth, move stories to the front of Drudge, then onto blogs and forums and overnight turn a story inside out.<br><br><br>

The video on MSNBC's Olberman countdown was probably picked up by a cameraman who was already outside in the reporter pool.<br><br>****************<br><br>[color:blue]VOTE</font color=blue>[color:red] for President George W. Bush on November 2, 2004</font color=red>
