There's this guy. He's a Republican. Amazingly, for the past three
presidential elections he's managed to convince reporters that he's gotten
attacked and gotten his signs stolen and destroyed. What are the odds?
Serial Republican Victim complains for the THIRD straight presidential
election of being assaulted and has his family assist.
Unbelievable.
Here is today's newspaper story:
A Republican family attended the rally to show support for the
Bush-Cheney ticket. Phil Parlock, a Barboursville resident and strong
Republican, said his family was accosted by some Kerry supporters.
"We do it peacefully and quietly to show respect. And, we don't want
to get kicked out of anything," Parlock said.
After standing on the tarmac with the Kerry supporters, Parklock and
three of his children moved down to the airport road near a parking lot
exit.
With Parlock were sons Phil II, 21, and Alex, 11, and daughter Sophia,
3.
Parlock said a Kerry supporter yanked a Bush-Cheney sign out of
Sophia's hands, making her cry. As they stood along the road later,
someone threw the ripped-up remains of the sign at them as they passed.
Problem is, as pointed out by some (Rezmutt) at D.U. is he has done this
before.

Phil Parlock's experience was less calm.
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," the deputy White House counsel who committed suicide in a
Washington, D.C., park. His death has become the subject of much debate
among Clinton opponents.
"It must have been a strict Democrat who did this," Parlock said,
feeling the red abrasions on his face. "Everyone with the exception of him
was real peaceful about our protest."
Parlock said some of the crowd tried to make other anti-Clinton
demonstrators feel unwelcome. He estimated that about 150 Dole supporters
attended the rally, but their signs couldn't be seen for most of the
rally.
Charleston (WV) Daily Mail, October 28, 2000, pg. 1A:
Phil Parlock didn't expect to need all 12 of the Bush-Cheney signs he
and his son Louis smuggled in their socks and pockets into the rally for
Vice President Al Gore.
But each time they raised a sign, someone would grab it out of their
hands, the two Huntington residents said. And sometimes it got physical.
"I expected some people to take our signs," said Louis, 12. "But I did
not expect people to practically attack us."
The two said they didn't go to the Friday morning rally to start
trouble.
"I came to support Bush and try to change some people's minds," Louis
said.
Now here is the picture of Parlock with his three-year old daughter,
who he enlisted as his assistant (father of the year no doubt).
Notice closely the young man wearing the union shirt and holding a
piece of the sign?
What are the odds, this allegedly angry sign-ripper in the union
shirt, holding the fragments of a ripped Bush sign is either the guy in
the grey sweater or the blue shirt?
So was Parlock having one of his sons portray a union stooge?
This guy is a serial disrupter with pretty much the same story every
time.
Remember this when the Cornerites and Little Green Snot Bubbles spout
off and try to make this a big story...especially in the wake of the known
abuse protestors get at the regular "Triumph of the Will" functions that
comprise a Bush Campaign appearance.
