Coakley Thug Roughs Up Reporter and DSCC Blames the GOP

Dem logic: Somehow Republicans forced Coakley’s thug to rough up reporter John McCormack so they could post video of the incident. I’m only surprised that they aren’t blaming George W. Bush.

Politico: DSCC spokesman Eric Schultz refused to go into detail about the incident, or to criticize Meehan, who confronted reporter John McCormack, in McCormack’s telling, after the reporter followed candidate Martha Coakley down the street asking unwelcome questions.

Meehan is a veteran Democratic staffer, Bostonian, and Obama appointee to the Broadcasting Board of Governors. But friends said they found the video both inappropriate and out of character.

“It is no surprise that Washington Republicans are trying to use every dirty trick they have to throw the Coakley campaign off their stride, but we are determined to end this campaign talking about the issues that matter to voters, like creating jobs and lowering middle class taxes,” said Schultz in a written statement. …

I don’t know what’s funnier – Schultz calling this a Republican dirty trick, or the allegation that his party has created jobs or lowered middle class taxes.

I donated to Scott Brown’s campaign this morning to help him fight the smears coming from Coakley and the SEIU. Click here to make your own donation. He’ll be a vote against ObamaCare. He’ll be a vote against cap and tax. He’ll be a vote against amnesty. In short, if Scott Brown is the next senator from Massachusetts, there will be a big roadblock on the road to the fundamental transformation of America.
