Has anyone contacted photographer and Newspaper re: Parlock?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

I think we should also bombard the union with calls and emails and let them know that a Republican infiltrator was posing as a union guy. Maybe they would issue a press release denying involvement. That would take away the power of this bullshit set up.

They are part of the AFL-CIO. Oops. I think the Parlocks may have messed with the wrong guys.

2. Can we get this on the daily show? eom

3. Before we do all of that

are we sure that guy is Parlock's son?

[yardwork]

5. No. What we have is circumstantial evidence.

The photo of Parlock's son in a family photo looks a lot like the guy wearing the shirt. Whoever contacts the union should simply ask them to investigate, and put the information we found about Parlock into their hands. That's all. Let the union investigate it if they choose to do so. They might be interested in following up on a guy wearing one of their shirts who is photographed apparently taunting a little girl.

7. Send the evidence, let the union decide.

8. According to jchild, the photographer is Randy Snyder

As the little girl’s photo circulated the internet, many members of Democratic Underground questioned the incident. After scouring the internet, they discovered that the photographer, Randy Snyder, who captured the image of the crying toddler, is chief photo editor of one newspaper that has frequently featured Phil Parlock’s conservative activism and interned with another newspaper that carried article about Parlock. Therefore, the photograph was not just a lucky shot by some AP photographer who happened to witness the ugly scene. Could Snyder and Parlock have planned the nasty shot? Could they have been working in collusion? Would a true journalist stoop so low? (4)


Killarney has just provided his e-mail address in this thread:

Dear Mr. Ross:

In your article in today's Herald-Dispatch, you refer to Bush supporter Phil Parlock attending the Edwards event with "sons Phil II, 21, and Alex, 11, and daughter Sophia, 3." Obviously Sophia is the little girl on Mr. Parlock's shoulders in the photo accompanying the article. I take it that the boy in the white shirt is Alex, and the young man in the green baseball cap is Phil II. Is this correct? Both appear to have a strong family resemblence to Mr. Parlock, but the caption does not make this clear. Please work on improving your captions. Otherwise it can be confusing to us readers.

Sincerely,

(Class Warrior)

19. Better yet, send them THIS photo of a crying child

A wounded Iraqi boy is treated in a hospital following a car bomb explosion near a police station at Rashid street in central Baghdad, September 17, 2004

We all need some F-ing perspective today I think.

ENOUGH with this Karl Rove girl crying CRAP!

It's all a BIG distraction and we're just helping him along....
