Meet Michael Meehan. Democrat.


He’s currently on loan to the Coakley campaign from the DSCC:

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee also dispatched Michael Meehan, a media consultant with ties to Massachusetts, to assist the Coakley camp with messaging.

And this is the guy that attacked a Weekly Standard reporter last night after Coakley’s lobbyist-driven fundraiser:

You think that it’s the same guy? It looks like the same guy.

BIG HT: Hot Air.

Nicely played. I wonder if Meehan would shoot this reporter in the head if he thought he could get away with it.

press charges

proudgop (Diary) Wednesday, January 13th at 10:36AM EST (link)

1. first the reporter should press charges and I believe Martha would have to give an acount of what happened seeing she had birds eye view

2. If he did what he and Martha is staying quiet how nice of the AG of Massachusetts to stay so quiet and employee such a man

Communicative, yes. Strategic, no. nt

Coakley should fire him immediately

SoFiMil (Diary) Wednesday, January 13th at 10:35AM EST (link)

and not accept a resignation. Fire him. Now!

so should DSCC

proudgop (Diary) Wednesday, January 13th at 11:09AM EST (link)

after all he is on loan from DSCC

Wonder if Mr Menendez brought him in from New Jersey?

 
 

This can't be true!

There are a couple things missing in this account of Coakley’s hired thug:

1. No purple shirt – unless it was worn under the suit

2. Lack of any contusions or loss of blood on the alleged victim

3. The alleged victim has not been terminated by his employer due to government pressure

It’s not about a purge. It’s about an insurrection.

...and don't forget:

Duke Wednesday, January 13th at 10:42AM EST (link)

This is ‘Kennedy’s seat” and she’s entitled to it!

No purple shirt? If you look close

conservativemountaineer Wednesday, January 13th at 10:46AM EST (link)

it looks like the guy is wearing a purple sweater underneath his suit jacket.

Just because the cloud has a silver lining doesn’t mean it’s not going to rain.

The purple sweater under his jacket

was the first thing I noticed.

Coincidence?

I think not.

“MA Attorney General, Martha Coakley, watches as reporter is assaulted – does nothing, walks on.”

Based on her record, I’m guessing this will not be a big shocker to the people of Massachusetts.

For God’s sake, she is right there in the photos and videos!”

Coakley thinks that is OK.

Lucky I was not the one one pushed!

capeindependent Wednesday, January 13th at 1:00PM EST (link)

I would have defended myself in a very loud and eye catching manner. If you ever find yourself in this situation yell “don’t push me… why are you pushing me” at the top of your lungs before you beat the crap out of the jerk. When the police arrive, press charges. The police can determine his identity at the hospital which is where he would wind up if he pushed me.

Yeah...

Where will they be next? I will see if they want to try pushing me. Of course that paper pusher would probably fall down trying to push me. I am a big guy and work for a living. We all keep fighting here. Brown signs are everywhere, I have not see a single Croak sign on the Cape. Everywhere I go I engage the people around me about the election and the balance Brown will bring to the Senate. I am hopeful as most I meet and speak with are already on board and I have converted a few who were not.

 

Coakley claims that there are no more terrorists in Afghanistan

izoneguy (Diary) Wednesday, January 13th at 1:16PM EST (link)

I guess they are moving to Massachusetts.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

 

Coakley's blaming those mean ol Scott Brown stalkers

sharonmcp (Diary) Wednesday, January 13th at 2:56PM EST (link)

Coakley talked with reporters Wednesday about the incident during an event in Dorchester.

“I was coming out of an event, I talked with press, I went to a gaggle not unlike this, although it was outside and in the dark. I went to go because I had to get back to the airport,” she said.

“I know there were people following, including people from the Brown campaign who have been very aggressive in their stalking. I’m not sure what happened. I know something occurred. I’m not privy to the facts. I’m sure it will come out, but I’m not aware of that.”

“I do know the Scott Brown stalkers who have followed me around, and the people at that press conference who were for very right-leaning publications, were incredible aggressive about trying to get in my face. I didn’t see what happened so I can’t say.”
