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.

One reporter being backed up by another reporter and I'm supposed to believe this?
Fat chance.
She may just rely on the events to provide their own security for their own events.
Did she hire bodyguards for the biker event?
Uh oh. Campaign Carl reporting on Bachmann’s migraines now on Special Report.
Probably exaggerated but still, not good. The left is decidedly going after Michele Bachmann just as they’ve gone after Sarah Palin. Lots of obvious reasons (fear, mostly) but their hostility indicates the absolute hatred the left has for the TEA party, meaning for ordinary, hard-working, taxpaying Americans. They must be defeated.
>>Does Palin even have bodyguards?<<
Yes, she does. She calls them Todd, Willow, and Piper.
Whole lot of MSM types deserve serious beatdowns.
IMHO.
Without video, it is very difficult to judge who’s in the wrong here.
On the one hand, it could be that Ross — a liberal, but a bit older and not known for being an “attack dog” — was politely but persistently doing his job, trying to get an on-the-record answer from a reluctant POTUS candidate about an important health issue.
On the other hand, it could be that Ross went into an area where, he knew or should have known, was off limits to reporters, and thus was treated (by bodyguards and police) like an imposter-dressed-as-a-reporter who was trying to assault a candidate for the presidency.
One witness cited in the story, a reporter for now far-left TIME, admitted that Ross “dashed” after Bachmann and “made a beeline” for her SUV. Now consider: If you are a cop or bodyguard assigned to protect Bachmann from potential assassins, and you don’t immediate recognize the sprinting Ross, are you going to bodily bar/ tackle him, or not?
Humm. What a f&*&^up country. The real revolution has passed its time. From now we will live in the shackels these elite commies have put on us.
On the other hand, Joe Biden had 3 ANUERISMS!!! That had always concerned me much more, especially when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker— God forbid something happened to Obama, Biden’s head explodes and we had got stuck with her as POTUS!!!
I’m still waiting to see Bill Clinton’s and Obama’s medical records...
Still waiting...
Of course, Bachman’s are more urgent and important for us to scrutinize...

Yes, he gave her a headache...//S//
I think Ross pursued her SUV in the parking garage. If he did ignore repeated requests to stay back, then he was out of line.
But I agree, without a video, it’s hard to say what happened.
What is one roughed up ABC news hack?.....underachieving..
This is just another example of commie instigation and agitation...this is how these people operate.
I wouldn’t take any journalista’s word for anything...they have no credibility, and have no one to blame but themselves.
Because I want to see the best evidence before deciding? As if I give a squat about what you think of me in any event. Rest assured I no longer give a rat's ass about anything you will ever say.
By the way, the OP agreed with me, little snowflake.
