Coakley Associate Roughs Up ‘Weekly Standard’ Reporter

The Weekly Standard's John McCormack: As I walked down the street, a man who appeared to be associated with the Coakley campaign pushed me into a freestanding metal railing. I ended up on the sidewalk.

O'Really?   January 13th, 2010 - 10:25 am

It looks like you are clumsy to me. Didn’t anyone tell you not to walk backward around barriers?

Did I see this wrong or did the guy help you up?

Joe Ryder   January 13th, 2010 - 10:27 am

I have had just about all the thuggery I can stand. It is about time that we let the politicians know we are not helpless sheeple to be pushed around by their thugs. It is time to take America back.

Gnothac   January 13th, 2010 - 10:27 am

Fox is showing this now.

Typical CriminalCrat behavior, nothing surprising here.

claspur   January 13th, 2010 - 10:29 am

Saw this on Malkin’s site around three hours ago.
The thug has been identified, just heard on Ingraham’s show.

Hope this idiot is jailed and sued by the reporter that called into Laura’s show earlier.

takebackAmericaNOW   January 13th, 2010 - 10:34 am

The Demarkkksist Allinskyite thugs are just doing what they always do. Did you know Allinksy studied under Al Capone’s hitman? He admired his tactics greatly.

SubjectofUSSA   January 13th, 2010 - 10:35 am

NO QUESTIONS GOT IT GOOD, and vote Democrat have a nice day

claspur   January 13th, 2010 - 10:35 am

Malkin also has posted about SEIU moving thugs into MA. to strong-arm voters next week.

Glad it was captured on video. Put up the face of that thug on wanted posters. File a police complaint.

Massachusetts politics: Democrat supporter acting up.

Kinda like watching the 3d reich crumble……

sallysays2   January 13th, 2010 - 11:01 am

If the Tea Party people intend to be in Mass next week, maybe they should wear flack jackets and football helmets to deflect the Chicago style opposition to them being in hostile territory. That seems to be their only defense against bullies. Say, isn’t bullying in schools some sort of crime?? But on the street and against Dem. opposition, by hostile adults, it’s ok.

Sue   January 13th, 2010 - 11:03 am

Please folks, just ACORN/SEIU/BLACK PANTHER tactics as taught in the “new” Obama administration. The reporter needs to file a report with the police, but would it do any good? It was in DC after all.

Tom   January 13th, 2010 - 11:08 am

FBI for poll watchers…..

Snailmailtrucker   January 13th, 2010 - 11:20 am

Why am I not surprised?
The Democrats/Obama Chicago politics at their best!

The Revolution is coming and the weenie liberals had better figure it out or they will be lost in the shuffle.

Next week, Jan. 19th. 2010 in Massachusetts, we can inflict a fatal blow to the Democrats by putting the Senate seat of the people of Massachusetts into the Conservative hands of Scott Brown.
If we can take the seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy away from the libs right in their own backyard, it will send a message that we are coming for them and nothing will stop us!

To help make this happen go and help Scott Brown in any way that you can!
http://www.brownforussenate.com/

I can’t think of a better place in the entire country to show the liberals that we are taking back our country, than in one of the most liberal states in the country!

If you can afford to send a few dollars or support in any way, to help the cause…..

Jan 11, 2010:
Scott Brown was trying to raise $500,000 in one day…
At the last count it was over 1.3 million raised!
NICE GOING CONSERVATIVES!

JoeKidd   January 13th, 2010 - 11:22 am

Here’s the ‘loading’ of the smoking gun, if you will:

Blue Line Strategic Communications was so proud of the fact they were sending Michael Meehan to ‘help’ Coakley’s campaign, they tweeted it:

“The DSCC dispatches Blue Line’s Michael Meehan to assist Coakley camp with messaging: http://bit.ly/7jBgcB
1:29 PM Jan 11th from TweetDeck
http://twitter.com/bluelinedd

Here’s my tweet in response:

@bluelinedd What message? The “Don’t f*ck w/Dems or we’ll KNOCK YOU DOWN!” message?
Does assist=VIOLENCE? Tell your associates (especially Michael Meehan) that “SAUL ALINSKY TACTICS WON’T WORK!” and “YOU GUYS CAN GO TO HELL!”

PS- Memo to Dems: Your Coward-and-Snivelin’ strategy fits!

WOO HOO! I got censored even with worse stuff accepted!

BullDawg   January 13th, 2010 - 11:37 am

This crap has to stop, this Chicago style politics is getting out of hand. Al Capones illegitimate son Obama supports this crap with his UNION thugs smashing anybody who questions his style. Joe the plumber, St. Louis tea party and now the election in Massachusetts, (at least I can spell it) PEOPLE WAKE UP and take back your country.

Mikemc1970   January 13th, 2010 - 11:38 am

Is anyone really surprised? If they can’t get you to believe their lies then they always resort to intimidation. The people are beginning to wake up. Go Scott Brown!

freedom rocks   January 13th, 2010 - 11:45 am

I can’t remember, who was it in response to the town hall meetings, said we need to push back twice as hard?

roger b.   January 13th, 2010 - 11:49 am

You STUPID blind people….

It was a BUSH operative trying to make Coakly look bad you ignoramuses.

SEIU, Obama's Civilian National Security force   January 13th, 2010 - 11:49 am

Looks like the SEIU, Obama’s Civilian National Security force, doing it’s duty once again. Here in Texas we shoot people in self defense for less. This keeps up, the 2nd Amendment is going to take America back.

Just shoot the thugs, don't take it anymore   January 13th, 2010 - 11:53 am

Oooh Boy, at .14 seconds this is where the reporter needed to punch the guy in the nose. The .14 second mark begins the proof that will put this thug behind bars.

Directaction   January 13th, 2010 - 11:53 am

It is past the time to begin an armed response to these elements.

Your cousin, Vinny Bagadonuts   January 13th, 2010 - 11:54 am

Hey Michael Meehan,

Don’t knock the wrong person down…

I’d imagine they’d gut you like a fish!

Either that or you’d be swimmin’ with them.

ceblais   January 13th, 2010 - 11:59 am

Is coakley running that scared that members of her campaign staff need to beat up reporters? This is about as low as running the attack add on Scott Brown. I do have a question for coakley. Does she know who she is running against? From observing her attack ad you might think it was President Bush, VP Cheney or Rush Limbaugh. Do the right thing you good people in MA. Vote for Scott Brown and let’s start the revolution against the jerk democrats next Tues and then finish the rest of the job in Nov. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT MASSACHUSETTS!!!!! Oh yes, coakley I am from California and I know how to spell Massachusetts. You might take notice so that you will have it spelled right in your next attack ad.

jch   January 13th, 2010 - 12:06 pm

Too bad the Democrat thug wasn’t knifed in the leg.

freddy nono   January 13th, 2010 - 12:12 pm

who the hell is that guy to be demanding people show their identification card? I think if I went downtown and started blocking people on the sidewalk demanding they show me their press credentials or sidewalk walking credentials, I’d be arrested in about 2 minutes.

If that a-hole needs to be arrested.

GunnyG   January 13th, 2010 - 12:21 pm

I EMAILED and CALLED several law enforcement agencies to report this. Cokehead is an accessory to a crime. (A&B)

abidingdude   January 13th, 2010 - 12:28 pm

SEIU folks don’t pull this stiff in states that have relaxed concealed-carry laws.

America…the only way to stop this thuggery that is taking place under the ‘mentally unstable’ Democratzi is to throw them out of power!

Six (6) more days til the countdown begins…

January 19th – 60 slug votes
January 20th – 59 slug votes

Go Massachusetts! Change Washington by changing the guard in your own senatorial race!

The rally cry goes out on January 19th…it will be the ‘vote’ heard round the world!

———————————–

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY BEGINS ON JANUARY 19TH IN MASSACHUSETTS!

1. WE ARE INFORMED
2. WE ARE INVOLVED
3. WE ARE GETTING OUT THE VOTE!

WE WILL REMOVE THE ‘SLUGS OF 60’ – GUARANTEED!

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME…AND 2010 WILL BE THE TIME!

O'Really   January 13th, 2010 - 12:44 pm

@ O’Really?

You are beyond help, so poisoned is your mind with liberalism that even when something is plain as day in front of your face you feel the need to support your thugs. Either that, or the DNC is paying you a lot of money to visit these sites and spin things in their favor. … beyond help, and truly sad. Thankfully people watch the video, and that coupled with your remarks only further turns them off to Democrats – so do us all a favor, and stick around.

SubjectofUSSA   January 13th, 2010 - 12:45 pm

Don’t worry, buses have already been arranged to bring SEIU, ACORN, and all the rest from all over the country to Mass for next weeks election

Desiree   January 13th, 2010 - 1:08 pm

Time to cut the brake lines on those busses.

jennyO   January 13th, 2010 - 4:56 pm

O’Really…are you blind? You can see Meehan walking up behind him and then beside him, shoving him into the rack. It’s pretty obvious. And Coakley claims it’s Brown’s Republican operatives stalking her? Oh please…Coakley is the one with all the $$$ coming in from big Pharma and the unions. She’s got the cash and the thug-operatives working for her!

Liberty Lover   January 13th, 2010 - 5:32 pm

Meehan Should have been CHARGED with aggravated assault . then not allowed bail. this isn’t the first time in the past year that The leftist/progressives/democrats have use VIOLENCE Against the people whom do not support them .

“That [tyrannical government] power is absolute, minute, regular, provident and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?” –French historian Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859)

Where’s the assault and battery charges (among others) for the A-hole that shoved and caused the fall that occurred? There’s plenty of evidence, it’s on video tape. File charges on the punk who pushed and then detained him by standing in his path?

It’s so typical of the double standard. If anyone other than a Democrat did this there would be Hell to pay and the guy would be fired and prosecuted! Someone needs to show the aid what’s it’s like to fall on some concrete.

The revolution is in full swing…Tea Party, Freedom Concerts, Virgina, New Jersey…

Massachusetts…you are next on the battle front…What will it be? 6 more years of the same lame excuses from someone who will not listen to you (unless you have lots of money…oh i forgot, unemployment is over 17%)? Or are you willing to put a fresh new face…a new voice that echoes yours…
