You're in denial.
Parlock is a repeat offender.
That's his son. And you're a sucker.

Ya got one shred of proof? If so, bring it on. And it'd better be more impressive than "similar things have happened to him in the past" and "his son and the guy are the same basic skin color and age".

Check out the above URL, where TruthOut.org made the comparison between the "union ruffian" and Parlock's oldest son. They also reference 3 other articles where Parlock just *happens* to have been a main character of Democratic hooliganism. All these incidents happened in 4 different locations and were quoted by the same newspaper?

Sounds like too much of a coincidence for THIS reader!

Check it out.

Set up or not, how many good Republican dads out there, if some big bully just made their little three year old daughter cry, think they'd just stand there with a frowny boo-hoo face on for the cameras as opposed to turning round and decking the guy who did it?

1)The Truthout link is simply one more link offering the "kinda, almost, sorta looks something like" offense to impugn Parlock. There's not one solid bit of actual evidence either that the thug was his son or that the past events didn't happen.

2) I'd say the kind of good Republican dad who didn't want to teach his kids that violence was the answer would do that. Standing there in a dignified manner and answering their thuggish behavior with dignity is the perfect response to that, you don't lower yourself to their level, especially in front of your children.

Want more proof it was staged? How bout Parlock leaving the area, going immediately outside to use his cellphone to talk with a reporter that took the picture. When did they exchange information considering the reporter was talking from INSIDE the building and Parlock was near the parking lot? No, he didn't stop on the way out.

Parlock's kid started crying when the Kerry supporters tried holding their signs in front of Parlock, he got pissed and hoisted his daughter on his shoulders and shoved a sign in her hand. She was confused and scared all right but from her Dad's actions.

Huntington has 50,000 people. Small town my rear. Plus many of the supporters were from Ashland, a community about the same size, and other areas in the tri-state.

Sorry to be so aggressive but this crap makes me angry and Phil's been doing it for years. Interesting that no mention has been made of Phil shoving the college kid. Didn't see that but heard about it.

Huntington Resident: I'd be very interested to see any links you've got to back up your version of the story.
