Video Senate Candidate Martha Coakley Democratic Strategist Michael Meehan Assaults Reporter - Scott Brown Surges in Polls

Cambridge, MA- See video below of Senate Candidate Martha Coakley staffer assaulting The Weekly Standards John McCormack. Democratic strategist Michael Meehan is seen in the video shoving McCormack to the ground in an obvious attempt to limit any direct questioning of Candidate Coakley.

The assault occurred while Coakely was in Washington DC for a last minute fund raiser, going hat in hand to National Democratic Fund Raisers in a desperate attempt to fend off Scott Brown's unexpected challenge in the Massachusetts Senate Special Election.

Massachusetts voters will have to consider what this behavior represents in the Coakley campaign. Scott Brown continues his surge in Massahchusetts after yet another campaign gaffe. 

Micheal Meehan has a long history as a Democratic Operative. He has worked in top advisory positions for many U.S. Senators, including Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and Senators John Kerry and Barbara Boxer.

The Huffington Post has characterized the incident as the reporter McCormack "stumbles" while chasing Senate Candidate. The Huffington Post then remarks that Meehan was just trying to determine if McCormack was an "operative" for the rival campaign and that he helped McCormack up off the ground.

I am planning a Massachusetts Ethics Commission complaint against the Attorney General's office concerning their handling of a simple Zoning By-Law change for our Town. The case 5168 and my concerns about it are on file in Springfield and Worcester AG's offices and were filed in July and August, 2009, prior to the campaign. Depending on the next decision shortly, Malfeasance or Misfeasance, will be my claim. It was filed with Martha Coakley in October "FOR HER EYES ONLY" at her office in Boston.

Scott Brown talks about the issues, putting more money in the pockets of worker (I as a blue collar union laborer for over 5 years). I'm proud to be an extreme right wing supporter of Scott Brown. Since I do not live in Massachusetts (I can spell it !) who donated, from my disability retirement) $17.76 during Scott's moneybomb. I have watched ads from both camps. While accusing Scott Brown of having money came in from right wing extremists (17,000 people donated by all over the USA, by computer, the over #1.3 million dollars with an average donation of $75 dollars), I cannot help compare with Coakley going to a 20 person dinner with almost all lobbyists) down in Washington, D.C. by extremist left wing nuts. It doesn't cut any mustard with me to try to associate Brown with Bush, Cheney, or Palin. Scott is independent, who takes protecting the United States seriously, whose couple of home are worth about $100,000 in a State where the median price for a home is $329,000. As to the Cosmos spread, I think Scott was cute at 22. That's one way for a handsome, masculine man to make money for law school..LOL. That "scandal" isn't. The video image of Coakley's Meehan knocking down the reporter, then CLEARLY DOGGING him, speaks volumes about how the Democrats operate. Bringing up "stalkers" not until after a reporter is knocked down is a self-serving statement. In truth, can a reporter stalk a public figure? Can anyone stalk a public figure? Surely Coakley would not expect to be a US Senator without having to interact with real people. Fortunately, the polls show that she will not have to be bothered. Unless there are some incredible sharp pollsters who are "very creative", Scott will win by a landslide. It is in the medial all over the internet for anyone who is willing to read.
