DSCC: Shoved reporter tape a GOP 'dirty trick' (re. Coakley aide Michael Meehan)
politico ^ | January 13, 2010 | Ben Smith

Posted on 01/13/2010 8:29:13 AM PST by maggief

A spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is describing the video above, which shows a Weekly Standard reporter getting pushed around by a DSCC consultant, Michael Meehan, as a "dirty trick" by "Washington Republicans."

DSCC spokesman Eric Schultz refused to go into detail about the incident, or to criticize Meehan, who confronted reporter John McCormack, in McCormack's telling, after the reporter followed candidate Martha Coakley down the street asking unwelcome questions.

(snip)

"It is no surprise that Washington Republicans are trying to use every dirty trick they have to throw the Coakley campaign off their stride, but we are determined to end this campaign talking about the issues that matter to voters, like creating jobs and lowering middle class taxes," said Schultz in a written statement.

Michael Meehan has a standing invitation to come out to Utah and try to shove me around.

Andrea shows she’s so jealous, envious, and such a bitter little leftist prune!

Michael Meehan used to be on Foxnews all of the time. He is an arrogant jerk who seems to think he is a gift to the world judging by his attitude exhibited onair.

Not 1 probably Defcon 2. At D1 the keys are usually turned and the missile away light is on.

No I mean Michael Meehan. He was a senior adviser for the Kerry campaign and has made many appearances on Foxnews.

Darn tootin' she's jealous.........but Gov Palin .... the expression is absolutely priceless...completely unfazed. Which probably made Andrea Bitchell even more livid. LOL It's just such a stark difference between the expressions......a.k.a. good v/s evil (imho)

I wondered about the Meehan connection - physically they look alike. I pray the Brown people are working parts of the video into their last minute campaign blitz that highlights Coakley’s bizarre view of the criminal justice system and her unwillingness to apologize or do a damned thing to chide her supporters.

BTW that shriveled pussfaced Andrea Mitchell's face is representative of all the snobbish democrats who will soon face the comeuppance they have earned. America is about to elect a congress of John Does’. The days of the elite in DC are numbered.

“At D1 the keys are usually turned and the missile away light is on.”

You just committed a critical error! Check your EWO regs!

While it's a common misunderstanding that we launch automatically at DefCon 1, we don't. Not until we receive positive command to do so.

Defcon 1 simply means we are fully mobilized and are probably at war.

There is an unsettling similarity between Margaret Hamilton and Andrea Mitchel - the photo does show, but I’ll bet Palin is wearing the Ruby Slippers. Oh how I wish dumping water on Libs made them melt away....

You’re right, that’s why I said usually. I spent a career in missiles, ground and airborne EA ops and command/control. I was also a crew instructor and evaluator. Never received a critical error or failed an eval.
