Once again, the Democrats employ thug tactics:
After Coakley finished her answer, she began walking away from the restaurant, and I walked behind her asking why health care industry lobbyists were supporting her at the fundraiser. She didn’t reply.
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. I was fine. He helped me up from the ground, but kept pushing up against me, blocking my path toward Coakley down the street.
He asked if I was with the media, and I told him I work for THE WEEKLY STANDARD. When I asked him who he worked for he replied, “I work for me.” He demanded to see my credentials, and even though it was a public street, I showed them to him.
I eventually got around him and met up with the attorney general halfway down the block.
“Attorney General, could I ask you a question please?” I said. “We’re done, thanks,” Coakley replied. She walked back toward the restaurant, apparently searching for her car. She remained silent as I (politely) repeated my question.
Coakley staffers told me they didn’t know who the man was who pushed me, though by every indication he was somehow connected to the campaign.
There are reports that it is a Democratic Party operative that was working for the campaign. Just more of that plantation politics at work folks. That is what happens when Democrats feel threatened, they lash out and hurt people, been that way for years. How do you think JFK and RFK, MLK ended up dead? The Democratic establishment felt threatened, and when they did, they got rid of them. Been that way for years and will be that way for a long time to come.
Stick a fork in her, I believe Coakley’s campaign is over.
Memeorandum has the roundup.
There is zero evidence this person was in any way connected with Coakley. In fact, there is no evidence this even happened the way this person describes it. Desperate, pathetic whining from a sub-par paparazi.
Your Opinion of course… Which is wrong. The man admitted he was one who shoved the guy… So, you’re an idiot libber who’s wrong, as always. 🙄
Name calling is the last, desperate resort of a person with no facts and no intelligence to support his or her position.
Who was the “man” who made this confession? Can you prove he was associated with Coakley in any way? No, of course you cannot.
Um, Yes, I can…

I suggest you get YOUR facts straight before you accuse me of anything.
Otherwise, you might find yourself banned from here…
Good Day!
Meehan is not associated with Coakley’s campaign, and the footage does not actually show him pushing anyone. It shows him helping the guy up and asking him questions about his credentials. So, go ahead and call me an idiot or ban me from your little web site. I am sure I will get over it – especially considering the source.
You didn’t even watch the video at the link, so, yeah, you are an idiot. 🙄
I see the same thing Winks sees in the video. It looks like the guy is helping him up. Maybe Winks is right.
The man admitted that he got too aggressive with the reporter. He also is a Democratic Party Operative, who was asked to help the campaign.
