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.

Do you remember when Marsha (?) Coakley (sp?) was campaigning in MA. last year and some reporter was knocked down/roughed up by HER thug bodyguards? Sure was an entirely opposite reaction to that here in FR. How is this event different from that one, except that was a liberal Dem candidate and this one involves the equally arrogant Bachmann?

I don’t know. I haven’t yet seen the video of Ross being “roughed up.” ABC says there is video.
