Joe Brown and Allee Bautsch
Allee Bautsch, chief campaign fundraiser for Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, and her boyfriend Joe Brown, were savagely beaten Friday night in New Orleans after leaving a Republican party fundraising dinner by a group of thugs who reportedly targeted the couple because they were wearing Sarah Palin pins.
Bautch's leg was broken and Brown incurred a broken jaw and nose as well as a concussion.
The Hayride reports that a source who visited Bautsch at the hospital the day after the attack says they were told the couple was attacked for wearing Palin buttons:
Two people at the Brennans event have now confirmed that the protest had largely broken up by the time it ended, but we also understand from someone who visited Allee Bautsch in the hospital Saturday morning that she and Brown were followed and attacked expressly because they had Palin pins on (she heard one of the attackers say Lets get them, they have Palin pins on so the attack WAS politically motivated as its victims understood it. It was not a mugging, it was not an argument gone wrong and it was not a bar fight.
The story of a Republican and her boyfriend being viciously attacked for wearing Palin buttons has yet to make national headlines, unlike say, unfounded rumors of nasty words being said by Tea Party protesters.
OK, Rush is ignoring it.
I think I’ll call Perry’s office and ask his staff what they think of this.
(((PING)))
PDS finally reaches a hideous climax.
Watch your backs, FRiends!!!
No, not suggesting that at all. I merely skeptical (based on the 2008 election farces) until more information comes out. Nonetheless, it needs to be covered by the media.
“Now be nice everyone. We can’t retaliate because the left will just attack us for such violence and then we are just like them and oh by the way, be sure and vote for your neighborhood RINO just because he or she has an “R” after their last name and let’s remain calm and moderate...”
It is now but he was raised outside Baton Rouge.
I assume these perps were black thugs.
White muggings in New Orleans are like unicorns.
Sic Jack Bauer on them.

Good suggestion! I second this motion!
Huh! They treat us like trash and then they wonder why no one wants to run down there and spend their hard-earned dollars in their state? A liberal-mind think! (got news for them...they’ll never see my face or money down there)
From Gateway Pundit:
A Republican activist and her boyfriend were savagely beaten in New Orleans on Friday for wearing Sarah Palin pins.
Free Republic reported:
SB, can you post this story over at Team Sarah?
To add: clearly a crime took place. Whether or not the perps said, ‘they’re wearing Palin pins, let’s get them’ is another thing altogether. Just like freepers questioned the N word being used a few weeks ago at a rally, we should also apply same caution here.
WTF! First I’ve heard of this from our version of Pravda, the thugs are coming out more and more.
Make no doubt about it - violence, hatred, racism, class evny, etc. is owned by the LEFT.

What if they do? What if they don't? What is the difference? I don't understand.
is it a union police force?
Probably a 1911 with the old safety, very dangerous. If you send it to me I'll make sure that it's handled correctly. ;-)
Whoever claims that the police at the Royal Street precient was complicit in this is dreaming.
I was just there 4 days ago and the police could not be more accomodating to tourists and dead set on keeping the Quarter safe.
This was also French Quarter festival and the goblins from the hood sneak in to revel too.
and yes they are motivated by the hate they learn from the media, their black and white leaders and their peers.
this is something a Dixie white person like me always knows but some folks in whitelandia just don’t get
but to call the cops complicit...no way...I personally spoke with cops there last week on horseback...white cops...who were very very anti-Obama and Nagin.
I’m going to believe her because she works for Governor Jindal, but I completely agree with your point.
Were she not in an important position I would tend to be a lot more cautious.
Not in the Quarter. Cops are usually very good at keeping an eye on the tourists in there. Usually.
But being that this is the Chocolate City as nagin says, they (cops) are most undoubtably, Zero supporters. Not to mention SEIU thugs. And might look the other way for a beat down on a republican.
