Three-year-old Sophia Parlock cries while seated on the shoulders of her father, Phil Parlock, after having their Bush-Cheney sign torn up by Kerry-Edwards supporters on Thursday, Sept. 16, 2004, at the Tri-State Airport in Huntington, W.Va. Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards made a brief stop at the airport as he concluded his two-day bus tour to locations in West Virginia and Ohio. (AP Photo/Randy Snyder)
It sure takes some big people to make a three year old cry. John Edwards' Little People must be proud.
I am proud give the next CIPA award to John Edwards' Little People.

Parlock indeed has experience Parlock indeed has experience in this activity and has repeated the behavior many times. Signs, umbrellas, bags, stollers, packages, etc were NOT allowed through the gate. Parlock smuggled the signs in in his pant leg and is lucky secret service didn't arrest him.
Kerry supporters tried to hold their sign in front of him which angered Parlock. He hoisted his young daughter, who was confused by the action, on his shoulders and shoved the sign in her hands. She didn't know what Daddy was doing and was scared to death. THAT'S what made the child cry and YES, I was there standing one person away from Parlock. I am a Huntington WV resident who is infuriated that Phil Parlock makes such a sham out of MY party. The republican party!
Do some googling on Parlock. There is some question about the identity of the union painter with many claiming he is Parlock's eldest son, who reportedly was at the event but was never seen standing with his family with a sign. I saw Parlock, his daughter and young son. The people surrounding him all wore Kerry buttons or T Shirts so where was the eldest son that Parlock said also accompanied them???
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.
Huntington has 50,000 people. It is not a small town and most of us wouldn't recognize Parlock's son if he stood beside us and introduced himself so there's much speculation that the union Kerry supporter was Parlock's oldest. 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 myself but heard about it.
He is a publicity hound and in my opinion not a considerate father.
