Did Father Stage Alleged Attack?
Claims to have been assaulted by Dems three other times

Times-Patriot Staff Report

September 17, 2004 — Phil Parlock and three of his children visited the Tri-State Airport in Huntington, W.Va., yesterday to catch a glimpse of Democratic vice-presidential candidate John Edwards. Parlock, a staunch Republican, and his family were there to show support for the Bush-Cheney ticket when they were assaulted by Kerry supporters, according to a report in the local paper, The Herald-Dispatch.

What the Herald-Dispatch failed to report, however, is that Parlock also claimed to be the victim of similar assaults at the hands of Democratic renegades in 1996 and 2000 — a fact that casts doubts on Parlock's new claims.

Photo courtesy of Associated PressParlock's latest claim certainly is filled with the sort of drama that makes for a fine photo op. Sophia, his three-year-old daughter, was holding a Bush-Cheney sign when angry Democrats ripped the sign from her tiny hands, making her burst into tears. A photographer with the Associated Press happened to be right there to capture the heartbreaking tears leaking from Sophia's innocent eyes as she perched on her father's shoulders.

Compare this latest event with what allegedly happened to Parlock's family in 2000, when they tried to show support for Bush at a rally for Al Gore. At that rally, son Louis, then 12, had signs ripped right from his hands, according to a front-page report in the October 28, 2000, edition of the Charleston (W.Va.) Daily Mail. "I did not expect people to practically attack us," said Louis.

Or to what happened at a pro-Clinton event in 1996, as also reported in the Daily Mail. As he tried to display a sign that read "Remember Vince Foster," Parlock claims that Clinton supporters knocked him to the ground. "It must have been a strict Democrat who did this," said Parlock.

And then there's September 3 of this year, when, according to a WCHS-TV news report, a gunshot allegedly was fired into Cabell County Republican Headquarters where supporters gathered to watch coverage of the Republican National Convention. Among the alleged victims who managed to escape death that day? None other than Phil Parlock.

Parlock, a real-estate agent who was a regional coordinator for the Bush campaign in 2000, has unsuccessfully sought election to the Cabell County Board of Education on four separate occasions.

Parlock has ignored e-mails from The Times-Patriot asking him to comment on this story.

1. I call Bullshit

It's things like this that make me feel better and better about being a democrat. I'd be so ashamed being a republican with all the nasty politics they engage in. I almost always hear about Republicans pulling these stupid stunts, as if they themselves are so under-confident that their party will win they have to resort to trickery. It's pathetic.

4. The AP photo of Parlock's daughter after getting the sign ripped from her tiny hands

Not all his babies look like monkeys, however. That's his son on the left - the same 'mean ol' union thug' who ripped the poster from her hands and tore it asunder.
