We made it onto Wonkette for the Parlock story!

Phil Parlock, that guy whose kid was so upset by having her Bush-Cheney sign torn? Some posters at Democratic Underground (we know, we know), dug up a story from 2000 that suggests Parlock has some kind of weird fetish for putting a cute girl on someone's shoulders and then somehow arranging for her Bush-Cheney sign to be taken away...

1. "we know, we know"?

Must not think much of us here at DU. :cry:

Too bad - she's got lots of fans here, whether she likes it or not. :)

3. Yeah, I noticed that.

Putting the best spin on it, she meant to say "We know they're not impartial about the election, we know they're not an objective source." Yeah! That's the ticket! :think:

4. Okay, I'll buy that

Nice spin there.

:toast:

5. I wouldn't use DU as a credible source

any more than I would use freerepublic. or newsmax. or capitol hill blue.

sorry, but when it's SO blatenly partisan, it just isn't credible

6. So is the Parlock thing bullshit?

Or did DU nail it? Get your story straight.

9. it doesn't matter

that's my point. it's the messenger

7. I see your point

After all, we are considered just a crazy message board.

Sometimes it works better filtering through somebody like Atrios.

With message boards, you get it all. Some crazy stuff, some crazy revelations. I'd be cautious of using any message board as a source, unless the scoop is just too good and too well researched. Amazing the stuff you can find sometimes.

2. Also, 'coincidentally' he was around when some unknown person fired a shot

at Republicans a few weeks back.

Things that make you go 'hmmmm . . . '
