Did you see the Politico story lying about Sarah Palin? The whole country could have seen the show and they would still lie about she said. Liberals will amplify the lie.
you can’t believe your lying eyes. Kinda like, obama didn’t bow
Honest, I was just swinging my arms around and he put his face right into my fist.

Profile of culprit Michael Meehan:
Michael Meehan is an expert at communications, national media, message development and implementation, polling and election politics. For over 23 years, he has been at the epicenter of communications and policy and understands firsthand the political dynamics of campaigns and Capitol Hill. He currently serves as president of BGR Public Relations, Senior Vice President at Virilion, a digital media company and founder of Blue Line Strategic Communications.
From Senate Chief of Staff to top political and communications posts at the three national Democratic Party Committees (DSCC, DCCC and DNC), Meehan has held positions of influence in the public policy and media relations arenas. He has worked in top advisory positions for many U.S. Senators, including Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and Senators John Kerry and Barbara Boxer. From 2005 thru 2007 he served as Senator Maria Cantwell’s (D-WA) Chief of Staff and chief strategist of her 2006 re-election campaign.
In the House, Meehan worked for U.S. Representatives John Olver, Vic Fazio and the DCCC. Meehan’s governmental and political experiences include working on dozens of Congressional and Senate campaigns in over 25 states, two presidential campaigns, and a stint as Vice President of NARAL Prochoice America.
Meehan holds a BA in political science and education from Bates College and lives in Alexandria, VA with his wife Tovah and daughters Meghan and Hannah.
Shouldn’t the AG press charges? :-)
Not much of a “shove”. It looks like the reporter tried to pass on the left and the other man put his arm out to kind of slow him down. At that point the reporter stumbles over the fencing and falls.
“Japan claims Pearl Harbor was dirty trick by the US Navy.”
Dr. Bogus Pachysandra claims Obama was dirty trick by a Kenyan!
This video tape clearly shows an assault & battery from the alleged aggressor. I HOPE that this reporter files a criminal complaint as this is the only way the networks will be pressured to cover the story.
There are two videos. One begins when Coakley exits the building, and the camera is behind the gaggle o reporters. The other video starts after Coakely has begun walking away and is taken mostly from behind her.
Watch both, and you’ll see that the reporter is correct about what went down and Campaign Coakley is wrong.
Did I say wrong? I meant: CAMPAIGN COAKLEY IS LYING.
Meehan needs to be fired publicly, and Coakley needs to apologize to the reporter and answer his questions.
COAKLEY = THUGS AND VIOLENCE. GOP trick, my ass.
That alone is battery. Irrespective of the push - and I agree with you that it's not entirely clear from the video that he was pushed, although it's possible - the video does clearly show the alleged DNC consultant engaging in behavior that, in my legal opinion, is clearly an act of battery.
