A Bush-Cheney campaign sign yanked from the hands of 3-year-old Sophia Parlock and ripped into pieces was the focus of all the attention. The incident occurred Thursday evening at Tri-State Airport during Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards’ campaign stop.
Republican supporters all over the Internet on Friday were saying Parlock was merely a Republican exercising his First Amendment rights, set upon by Democratic thugs.
Meanwhile, Democratic bloggers questioned whether Parlock staged the event that sent Sophia into tears as a news photographer captured her distress. Some even called him a serial protester and a bad parent for putting his daughter in harm’s way.
Edwards arrived around5:20 p.m. and was met by about 200 supporters. He was at the airport to leave the area following a two-day campaign swing.
