The man being knocked down and then blocked is a reporter for The Weekly Standard. He asked Attorney General Coakley, who is running for the Senate in Massachusetts, why she said there are no terrorists in Afghanastan. One of the Coakey people roughs him up a bit.
Clearly, the Statist only likes the press when they report what the Statist wants you to hear.
This is the future people - getting pushed around by thugs employed by the State.
A tipster tells me that the man who was pushing me outside of a Capitol Hill fundraiser Tuesday night for Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Martha Coakley is Michael Meehan.
Meehan heads up a firm called Blue Line Strategic Communications along with his partner David DiMartino, who was outside the fundraiser with Coakley tonight and introduced himself to me there. The AP reported on Monday that Meehan is also working for Coakley: “The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee also dispatched Michael Meehan, a media consultant with ties to Massachusetts, to assist the Coakley camp with messaging.”
Nice. Sadly, that seems to be totally in character.
Did anybody catch the entire debate? Lefty radio is not talking about it much that I can tell, and the bits I have heard from other sources suggest that Coakley got pwned by Brown on multiple points. She seems to have come off as an amateur.
So I googled it. Or, in my case, I used Bing;
