        \_ are you talking about this family of morons?
           link:csua.org/u/939 - danh
        \_ I think this is part of Kerry's campaign to look "strong."
        \_ The guy is a union thug.  Union members commonly attack protestors
           at political rallies.
        \_ The guy who did it is a union thug.  Union members commonly attack
           protestors at political rallies.
           \_ The guy is his SON.
              \_ No it isn't.  The blog is unsupported and refuted by the guy
                 himself (see above).  How much of a tinfoil hat nut are you?
           \_ Who is, the guy holding the kid?
        \_ http://csua.org/u/934
           \_ This guy is a fraud.  Read this entry:
              http://csua.org/u/935
              \_ Um, yeah that's conclusive.  Not.
              \_ I don't know that this means he's a fraud, just that he
                 likes to cause trouble.  Considering this seemed to be
                 standard operating procedure for dems at the RNC, it
                 hardly bothers me.
        \_ So what about Young Republican shown on ABC news kicking the
           female protester when she was down?  Where's your outrage now?
              http://atrios.blogspot.com/2004_09_12_atrios_archive.html#109542699935507535
           \_ That bitch deserved it for embarrassing our Commander In Chief
              that way. Too bad she didn't end up in the hospital.
        \_ Dumb asshole subjecting his little girl to that stuff, standing
           around at an airport antagonizing people. That girl is what, 5?
           "I'm a victim!"
           \_ Didn't see it but it sounds scummy.  But ripping the sign out of
              the hands of a 3-year-old child?!?!?
              \_ Read the above URL.  It seems to be staged.
                 \_ That blog is less evidence than the CBS memos.

from Rising Hegemon to make sure everyone sees it: Serial Republican Victim complains for the THIRD straight presidential election of being assaulted and has his family assist. 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. 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. pointed out by some (Rezmutt) at DU is he has done this before. Charleston (WV) Daily Mail, August 27, 1996, Page 3C Phil Parlock's experience was less calm. 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. But each time they raised a sign, someone would grab it out of their hands, the two Huntington residents said. "I expected some people to take our signs," said Louis, 12. 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). 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. especially in the wake of the known abuse protestors get at the regular "Triumph of the Will" functions that comprise a Bush Campaign appearance. The insurgency is growing and becoming more sophisticated, which means more deadly. Ordinary Iraqis are becoming ever more enraged at the US When the newscaster David Brinkley, appalled by the carnage in Vietnam, asked Lyndon Johnson why he didn't just bring the troops home, Johnson replied, "I'm not going to be the first American president to lose a war." George W Bush is now trapped as tightly in Iraq as Johnson was in Vietnam. The president's own intelligence estimates are pessimistic. There is no plan to actually win the war in Iraq, and no willingness to concede defeat. I wonder who the last man or woman will be to die for this colossal mistake. We will continue on because it will be falsely believed it is necessary to show strength, when it shows just the opposite. I have no idea what the best exit strategy is, but neither did Rumsfeld and the gang when they started this thing. There will be no "good" outcome, all we can hope for is that we figure out how to minimize the damage. The people who inflicted it are not the ones we can trust to do that wisely. The agreement to free Yaser Esam Hamdi represents a stunning reversal for the Bush administration, which argued for more than two years that the former Taliban fighter was potentially so dangerous that he had to be detained indefinitely in solitary confinement with no access to counsel and no right to trial. But in a landmark ruling last June, the US Supreme Court ordered that Hamdi, an American citizen, be allowed to consult with his lawyer and challenge the basis for his imprisonment. This pushed the case back into federal court and forced the Justice Department to mount a hasty retreat. The result, officials say, is a highly detailed agreement that is expected to be made public later this week. It will result in Hamdi being flown back to Saudi Arabia on a US military aircraft without ever being charged with any terror-related activity--a symbolic victory for critics who have long pointed to the case as a prime example of what they see as the Bush administration's overreaching in combating the terrorist threat. Still, Justice Department officials said today the agreement contains important provisions to protect US interests, including requirements that Hamdi renounce his US citizenship, agree not to return to the United States and consent not to travel to an extensive list of countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq or Syria, where he could be presumably be recruited for terrorist activity. Hamdi is also supposed to keep Saudi authorities notified of his whereabouts--a requirement that even government officials say will do little, if anything, to restrict his movements in the country. So, our government keeps a guy locked up for 3 years without trial because he's too dangerous to let go. When he was allowed to challenge his imprisonment, the JD backed off. And, then, to end the whole thing they're going to require that he renounce his citizenship. Comment | Progress When Bush keeps giving speeches saying that "we're making progress" in Iraq, just what the hell is he talking about? If anyone makes to make a case that we're geniunely "making progress" give it your best shot. This is just horrible: COLORADO SPRINGS - Soldiers from a Fort Carson combat unit say they have been issued an ultimatum - re-enlist for three more years or be transferred to other units expected to deploy to Iraq. Hundreds of soldiers from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team were presented with that message and a re-enlistment form in a series of assemblies last Thursday, said two The effort is part of a restructuring of the Army into smaller, more flexible forces that can deploy rapidly around the world. A Fort Carson spokesman confirmed the re-enlistment drive is under way and one of the soldiers provided the form to the Rocky Mountain News. An Army spokesmen denied, however, that soldiers who don't re-enlist with the brigade were threatened. The form, if signed, would bind the soldier to the 3rd Brigade until Dec. The two soldiers said they were told that those who did not sign would be transferred out of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team. Cheney about this stuff: Perhaps even more troubling, at the same time Cheney was doing business with Iraq, he launched a public broadside against sanctions laws designed to cut off funds to regimes like Iran, which the State Department listed as a state sponsor of terrorism. In 1998, Cheney traveled to Kuala Lumpur to attack his own country's terrorism policies for being too strict. Two years later, Cheney traveled to another country to demand America weaken restrictions on doing business with Iran's petroleum industry, despite Clinton administration warnings that Iranian oil revenues could be used to fund terrorism. primarily by our own government, which has made a decision that US firms should not be allowed to invest significantly in Iran," he told an oil conference in Canada. Comment | Incompetent and Unaccountable 9/11 drove a lot of people a little bit crazy, understandably. And, sadly, a lot of those people felt it necessary to suspend their distrust of the Bush administration. They needed to believe that, whatever else these people might screw up, that they wouldn't screw up on anti-terrorism. When Iraq unfathomably became part of "anti-terrorism," some (though not all) of those same people again felt the need to believe that, okay, how could they screw that one up? I think even some people who were opposed to the war, but figured it was inevitable, thought that well, at least they couldn't possibly screw this one up. It's quite possible that there was no way to not screw it up, that it was such a colossally bad idea which couldn't possibly have a good outcome. But, they've managed t...
