My Boston Herald column on the Coakley Cram-Down incident:

Watching that reporter get pushed again and again, I kept thinking of the typical taxpayers I’ve talked to the past 12 months. From tax hikes on Beacon Hill to backroom deals in health care in D.C., they feel ignored and abused. We speak out against higher spending, rising debt, fat bailouts, etc., etc., but our political class keeps shoving them down our throats. We show up at a town hall or tea party to be heard, to try to get the political class to respond, but what happens? We get insulted, dismissed, shoved aside. All the guy did was ask a question and the Coakley campaign pushed him to the curb. How many Massachusetts voters watched that video and thought “Pal, I know just how you feel”?
