An ABC News investigative reporter was accosted by presidential candidate Michele Bachmann’s bodyguards after the newsman tried to ask the congresswoman about suffering from migraines, according to a news report.
The questions were provoked by The Daily Caller’s report on the Republican presidential candidate’s medical history published Tuesday.
The reporter, Brian Ross, was attempting to speak with Bachmann after a rally in Aiken, S.C., when he was roughed up, Time Magazine’s Michael Crowley reported. There were three uniformed police officers and two plainclothes bodyguards there, according to the report.

Didn’t we hear the same story out of Alaska a few months back?
Its the Sarah Palin attack-plan all over again.
LOL nobody ever accused these people of being geniuses.
Meanwhile in other news a Pakistani Obama donor (and NRSC donor) was arrested as a Paki agent.
They are really going after her. The establishment must be pretty scared.
Shouldn’t she have secret service?
Did he shout at her? According to the Prez , reporters can’t shout out questions.
I don’t remember it, did we? Does Palin even have bodyguards?
She can’t, until she is nominated, or the POTUS grants it to her.
Yeah, sure, oh so innocent....
Was anybodies jaw broken?
As a rabid Palin supporter ( I was bitten by a squirrel) I love Bachmann and hope she kicks ass all over the place. You’re not going to find me putting down a feisty conservative who takes Jerkboy to task every chance she gets. She’s got guts. The migraine thing is a joke. It will cause millions of people to root for her. Are you telling me it’s a good strategy to tell millions of Americans: “You can never be president because you get headaches”???
I’m sure she rents bodyguards for her appearances.
Whoever takes front runner status will be pummeled 24/7. Who will be able to take it and return fire to take down the failed president. It will take a special person to withstand the head. The Palin model will be applied again and again. Trump, Bachmann, next Perry. For some reason, they don’t do it to Romney.
Candidates usually don’t get Secret Service protection until they’re nominated. It would be very unusual for any candidate other than the incumbent to have a detail at this point.
Wonder if they expressed the same outrage over Black Panthers at polling places...surely there’s no agenda. The MSM are our watch dogs...
Headaches do not concern me. Migraines do. I have them. I know how debilitating they can be. She says they don’t affect her ability to function. I hope that is the case.
LOL!
Bachmann’s campaign has responded that they made it very clear that they didn’t have time for questions and that Ross ignored repeated requests to stay back.
Because Romney is a tool of the Left. He is the McCain insider Clone. Easy to beat.
Obama “Uh, The Helath care, Uhhh, bill was modelled after, uhhh Romney Care.”
