Assailant Was a Coakley Staffer on Loan from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee?
Weekly Standard ^ | January 13, 2010 | John McCormack

Posted on 01/13/2010 4:01:57 AM PST by maggief

Or just a really good lookalike?

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."

This isn’t a union “thug” as you may expect; this IS a democrat staffer

Is there a difference between this kind of "staffer" and a thug? It looks like he is a bodyguard/muscle staffer.

They told me Martha wasn't present at last night's altercation...

LOL!

Fox News is covering this scuffle right now. And the news gal just said, "Clearly, Coakley was there."

Fox is trying to get comment from Meehan and Coakley. So far, no luck.

Big difference; a staffer wears a suit and tie.

This isn’t a union “thug” as you may expect; this IS a democrat staffer knocking down a Weekly Standard reporter.

The thugs are getting bolder - it's a bad sign...

And it also lays bare the fascistic tyranny at the heart of the Democratic machine... how these people see themselves is incomprehensible to me, like they own the world, like they own that senate seat. My god, we need a shake-up and how!!

Have we become a nation of puzzies?
Someone assaulting you like that in front of cameras is an excuse to jump up and beat the living shit out of them without any fear of consequence.

Barbour .. as good as a pubbie/conservative as
he may be thought to be is:

another proof that ALL politicians
prey on the public trust and gorge
on the public trough, in and out of
office, from cradle to grave.

We also saw the black panthers outside a voting place in the '08 election.

That was then; maybe an "isolated incident" and Holder let them go anyway.

Now, it looks like all Dumbos AGs see thuggery as an action movie!

It's an ominous start of the election process under 0b0z0's rule.

Who are you gonna believe, Martha or your lyin eyes?

More interesting, as another poster remarked, it's a normal human instinct to reach out to a person on the ground - not to keep your hands in your pockets Martha!

Republicans criticize Coakley for attending DC fundraiser
Posted: January 13th, 2010 10:42 AM ET

From CNN Political Editor Mark Preston

Washington (CNN) – Massachusetts Republicans wasted little time Wednesday criticizing Democrat Martha Coakley for attending a fundraiser one week before Bay State voters elect a successor to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy.

The Massachusetts Republican Party will release a new Web video this morning accusing Coakley of accepting contributions from health care lobbyists at the same time touting her efforts to hold “health insurers accountable for fraud and denying care.”
