A Weekly Standard reporter says he was roughed up last night outside a Washington, D.C. fundraiser for Attorney General Martha Coakley by someone he believes is associated with her U.S. Senate campaign.

John McCormack, the magazine’s deputy online editor, writes about the incident outside the Sonoma restaurant in an online dispatch entitled: “We Report, We Get Pushed.”

My goodness, those pictures of Coakley are devastating. As Churchill once said of De Gaulle rings true, here, of Coakley: “He looks like a female llama who has just been surprised in her bath.”

[Diogenesis]

The DNC system in Massachusettes (spelling courtesy of Attorney General Coakley)
let Whitey Bulger go, let Coakley prey on innocents
including elderly, disabled women growing legal plants,
lets ACORN run rampant faking votes, and now allows this DNC-paid for,
DNC-planned, AG Coakley witnessed and condoned, assault and battery
by Blue Line Strategic Communications
made for Coakley and the DNC. Think anyone will be arrested?

This is a mockery of what once was the Massachusetts General Court.

[Dansong]

Do you think Drudge and/or Rush will run with this story?

[mnehring]

..and as posted on the other thread, she is in the photos and videos standing right next to the altercation as it happened.

This is tantamount to her office admitting that the incident was illegal and trying to shield her. The pictures don’t lie. Coakley failed to do her duty as Attorney General and intervene in the commission of a crime. Dialing 911 is not that difficult.

Dan.....I’ve sent Drudge this story from several sources. I’m still waiting for him to put it up. *sigh*

I bet Rush will mention it, tho.

[sbMKE]

Coakley looks like she is in a state of shock to me — likely thinking “what the heck are you doing wrestling with all these reporters here?”

What kind of a sissy-boy wears a Barney-purple zip-up sweater under his suit jacket?

Purple is SEIU. If you see a bunch of thugs in purple at a demonstration or moving around a tea party you should be very aware of them. Don't be afraid but don't let them out of your sight either.

Purple is SEIU

LOL. I remember when purple was just another color and rainbows had nothing to do with coalitions or strange behaviors...

[Dansong]

Nice work RIMTB...

[GonzoGOP]

And I'm old enough to remember when a rainbow was just a cool atmospheric phenomenon, not a symbol of gay rights.

The libs took their lessons from the Saul Alinski school of street violence seriously. When you start a riot you need some way of identifying the friendlies from the hostiles. But showing up in a Nazi brown shirt uniform is a bit too obvious. But if all your people just happen to have on the same color shirt, especially if it is some odd color most people don't wear, you can tell your friends in a crowd. And after all a purple shirt isn't a uniform. /sarc /tinfoil

Goonions tend to attack from behind, like when the guy in the wheelchair was “capped” outside the whitehouse.

Its funny these people are so cocky that they don’t care that the american patriot cannons whick is little and it is burning ever so slowly but it is picking up speed. Any time now I think this cold revolution is going to go hot. It is only going to take a spark. And god help the left...

[onyx]

WOW, maggief, just wow. Martha is RIGHT THERE!!!

[GonzoGOP]

Coakley looks like she is in a state of shock to me

Bingo. We thought that the Clinton crew were brazen, but Obama's people are just street thugs. Clinton's people might follow you home and kill your cat. However, they always maintained plausible denyability. There was always just enough doubt and distance between them and the dirty business. Obama's thugs in contrast will beat the heck out of you right in front of the camera and they don't mind if their candidate is in frame while they do it.

[Gator113]

Perhaps you should pass that onto FOX.... Beck might have fun with it too.

Just another, “don’t believe your lying eyes” moments.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

FINALLY!!!!! He has it up, now! Hehe! ;-) Just in time for Rush’s show!

Aaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!111!!!!1111!!!

[Dansong]

And away we go!

[pissant]

Good research. But the guy is hardly a thug. He’s a big wussy. Only a Weekly Standard guy or a Rich Lowery type would be intimidated. LOL

[mowowie]

Once i got back up that guy would be picking glass shards out of his eyes.

[Piranha]

Is he wearing an SEIU shirt under his suit coat?
