AIKEN, S.C. — ABC News says a reporter trying to question GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was pushed and shoved by members of her camp after a campaign event in South Carolina.

Just an FYI Michele, the shoving of reporters killed liberal Coakley in the bluest of blue states of MA.   Get your campaign house in order pronto.


The interesting part of the article though is this:

Quote
Network news senior vice president Jeffrey Schneider said reporter Brian Ross was shoved Tuesday as security tried to block him from the Minnesota congresswoman while he asked whether she had to miss votes because of migraines

Migraines?   really lame-ass media?   This is what you are trying to ding her with?   

She shouldn't even respond to that nonsense.

It was the top story at the Des Moines Register today too, still near the top of their website. :whatever:

I can see where the reporter is going with this but I wonder if he ever thought about asking Obama about missing votes because of minstrel cramps. :-)

You mean a reporter who undoubtedly shoves himself and his microphone or tape recorder into people's faces every day became indignant when a politician's security detail decides to push back?

One of the articles said that this guy had jumped up on the stage she was on and the second time is when he was man-handled by security.  Maybe they should have tazed his ass.

The full story is starting to come out.  Ross the Reporter made a complete jackass out of himself while "going after a story" and repeatedly harassed Bachmann.  Finally, when he rushed her vehicle, her security team decided enough was enough.  They didn't know this douchebag from Adam and probably had visions of Jared Lee Loughner on their mind.

Oh, look.  Brian Ross is the asshat who pushed the "pray the gay away" "investigation."  Just desserts.

I saw the video with a uniformed police officer, and some others,  escorting her and there were no arrests ?  Didn't see him getting "roughed up" either.  I did see him charge her, and yes, Giffords came to mind, he's lucky he wasn't body slammed.

Damn, if only I were a DUmmie. I could have made up my own bouncy. I didn't go, but it's right across the river; therefore, I know more than anyone else.  :-)


...but I'm not a DUmmie. I wasn't there, and don't know how it went down other than what's being reported.

Not knowing the facts never stopped a bouncy.

It's a stupid smear that proves that they have little to nothing of substance to use against her.
