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.

Duke Wednesday, January 13th at 10:41AM EST (link)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.

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.

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.”
