Last night, John McCormack, a reporter for the conservative Weekly Standard magazine, attempted to ask Massachusetts Democrat Senate contender Martha Coakley a question as she left a Capitol Hill fundraiser. McCormack was immediately shoved to the ground by a man walking with Coakley. The man then continued to block McCormack's access.
It has now been established that the assailant was Michael Meehan, a prominent Democratic strategist who has been helping the Coakley campaign. Meehan is also an employee of Barack Obama. Obama appointed Meehan to serve on the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which oversees federal news operations like Voice of America. Meehan is a hotshot in Democratic circles and he and Obama reportedly go back a long way.
In fact, the Massachusetts election has been swarmed by thugs. Yesterday the Coakley campaign was caught deploying union members to hold up campaign signs. The workers were reportedly paid $50 to do so, even though at least one said in an interview that he was voting for Scott Brown.
Of course, if Coakley loses, Barack Obama's health care bill won't pass the Senate. Obama's trying to buy another Senate seat with his crooked campaign strategists and union thugs.
