Reporter roughed up outside Coakley fund-raiser

......while Coakley onlooked.....and did NOTHING. And this woman is supposed to be ‘big cop’ of her state. Unreal.

That particular image is one that might well sink her.

Cold, aloof, arrogant and non-caring. Not exactly the image a politician wants to project.

Gawd.....you’re kidding?

Nope. Right here. Post #53.

Maybe we should start calling them the Deceptive Party since they wouldn't know the truth even if it bit them on the arse.

I propose we chant the purple people beaters off the public stage:

S.E....I.U.
The Whole World’s Watching YOU

I don’t think these cockroaches can stand up to the light of day.

Michael Meehan? Too much of a coincidence for him not to be related to that goof, Marty Meehan.

Man, what does this tell you about their own internal polling numbers?

When your only tool is a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail.

Liberals are all mindless thugs but the roughed up reporter was from the Weekly Standard and thus, fair game for the scrapping lowlifes - the liberal MSM will dismiss the occasion.

Boston Glob’s headline on “event”

“Reporter takes stumble chasing Coakley”

According to the globe, he “fell” and the aide was “trying to help him up”
