By now you've probably heard the story of John McCormack being knocked to the ground by someone (Michael Meehan) in the Coakley entourage:
As I walked down the street, a man who appeared to be associated with the Coakley campaign pushed me into a freestanding metal railing. I ended up on the sidewalk. I was fine. He helped me up from the ground, but kept pushing up against me, blocking my path toward Coakley down the street.
He asked if I was with the media, and I told him I work for THE WEEKLY STANDARD. When I asked him who he worked for he replied, "I work for me." He demanded to see my credentials, and even though it was a public street, I showed them to him.
I eventually got around him and met up with the attorney general halfway down the block.
"Attorney General, could I ask you a question please?" I said. "We're done, thanks," Coakley replied.
Meehan has since apologized for his "part" in the situation. Not sure if he realizes that his "part" was "all of it." He also says he stopped to make sure his victim was alright; but you can see why he stopped. It was just a continuation of his effort to impede McCormack.
Anyway, I was impressed by Meehan's zeal. So I made a graphic for his company, Blueline Strategic Communications, LLC:
