With every passing day, Elizabeth Warren’s campaign looks more and more like the Martha Coakley campaign. The Weekly Standard reports (via Instapundit h/t Linda in Tennessee), a Warren campaign staffer physically assaulted a cameraman following Warren (language warning): An aide to Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat, appears to have knocked the video camera of a Republican tracker after an event this weekend in Martha’s Vineyard. Watch the video below: As The Weekly Standard points out, this was similar to the attack by a Martha Coakley staffer on John McCormack in December 2009, which I covered at the time including this photo of Coakley watching the assault, This Photo May Change The Election: Remember also how Warren put security guards on Anne at the Netroots Nation conference: And a staffer shoved her clipboard in Anne’s face as Anne tried to ask Warren questions: The intolerance the Warren campaign shows for videographers reflects an intolerant political view which seeks to demonize those who disagree on policy issues. Update: A reader sends a link to this Warren video, Elizabeth Warren Fights For You, with the classic Warren line “I have thrown rocks at people I think are in the wrong.” And who could forget Warren’s other most famous line (emphasis mine): “My first choice is a strong consumer agency,” the Harvard Law professor and federal bailout watchdog said in an interview with the Huffington Post. “My second choice is no agency at all and plenty of blood and teeth left on the floor.” Update No. 2 – Apparently the Warren campaign is claiming the assailant was just a driver, not a staff member. So what? Why didn’t Warren staff, who were standing all around, intervene? Why didn’t Warren? Are we to believe this driver just decided out of the clear blue to take it on himself to go after a cameraman?

Who is the little punk with the green hat on? Anyone know his name? If he did that to me I would have dropped him right there. He might now have ever got back up. What was with his warning of do you know who you are messing with. Mike your heroes are evil.

I have not looked at this thread, and have no idea of what you are talking about. I am working on Peter DeFazio's campaign here in Eugene, Oregon, and am focused on that race right now. i am also involved in Occupy Eugene currently as we work to get a homeless camp approved before this upcoming winter. If I were back with my family in Connecticut I would be making far more money, and would know far more about the New England races. I don't have time to do that right now.
