After leaving her DC lobbyist fundraiser, Coakley fails to answer a question as to whether she stands by her comments that terrorists are not in Afghanistan. Coakley simply responds by asking if there are any more questions. When McCormack tries to follow up with Coakley, he is attacked by a member of Coakley's entourage and thrown to the ground as Coakley looks on. After he gets up, McCormack is attacked again, and not allowed to pass.

There is not ONE comment in support of Coakley at Youtube. Wow. She must be in a heap of trouble!

[originalbuckeye]

A commenter also says that the guy who shoved the reporter was whisked away to Florida. Dems are soooo sleazy. Running from the truth, hiding the truth if they think they can get away with it.

[purplelobster]

What’s more damning than the incident itself is Coakley’s reaction to it, by later claiming to have no knowledge of it and making vague accusations that somehow the GOP is responsible. Any normal person would fire the aide and apologize. Basically she is endorsing rule by force. She has no business serving in the public sphere.

Thanks. That is one angle we had not seen and it clearly shows the Weekly Standard reporter being thrown to the ground.

[TigersEye]

Martha Coakley is a liar.

[Anti-Bubba182]

You can see him blocking the reporter and pushing the reporters hand when he tries to show his credentials.

BOSTON — A reporter trying to question the Democrat seeking to replace Edward Kennedy in the Senate has been involved in a scuffle with one of her advisers.

John McCormack of the Weekly Standard fell Tuesday night near Attorney General Martha Coakley. He was audiotaping her while trying to pass a metal grate on a Washington sidewalk.

Photos and video show Coakely adviser Michael Meehan trying to help McCormack up.

[kristinn]

From what I can see, the thug stood near the reporter as he asked his question, then walked around to the reporter's back. As Coakley walked up the sidewalk with the reporter walking behind her with his micro-recorder held high, the thug hockey-checked the reporter from behind on the reporters right, shoving him into the low restaurant railing (which could be plainly seen) then picked the reporter up not to help him but to intimidate him. The the thug then continued to body-check the reporter from the front but the reporter stayed on his feet.

The thug should be charged.

[Ted Grant]

How come a pudgy fudgie democrat never tries to give me a good shove?

“If they hate let ‘em hate, I drop your whole clan, Lay your arse down for the 3 second tan!”

[reefdiver]

It’s going to continue to get nastier. That guy ( the blocker) Coakleys goon could of been dropped in a pinch. But He was paid to do that, be there, and that reporter was alone. If the attacker’s nose an mouth came up wet and red cause someone was there to assist the reporter. Different story. Happy ending.

We can’t go on like this. They are the punks

[Michael Barnes]

I'm thoroughly enjoying the Democrats forgetting that cell phones, cameras and the Internet is everywhere.
They can continue to lie, the digital realm will keep everything honest.

[GranTorino]

Not just pushed, Blindsided in the back.

New video which clearly shows thug throwing reporter to ground (around 1:40 mark in video)

God willing, this image could be her "hiding behind the baby" moment. :o)

From www.cleveland.com/movies:

Martin Sheen's baby hoist
"The Dead Zone" (1983)

Martin Sheen [as corrupt politician Greg Stillson]
commits a bit of a campaign slip-up in "The Dead Zone."

...but Stillson, with the gun still pointed at him, grabs a baby to shield himself.

A photographer records the scene, Stillson's career is curtains...
