thanks for posting this. And to think I was going to N’Awlins for a 3 day weekend!
No, I think not if the spirit of the hate crimes laws is interpreted according to the intent of the founders of those laws. The hate crime laws are intended to shut down conservative ideas or anything that threatens leftist visions of Utopia. These conservatives wearing Palin pins clearly incited the attack by the public display of the Palin pins. /sarc
Left a restaurant last night and saw a car with a Palin sticker on it. No Romney or Ron Paul stickers though. And I'd be willing to bet the car's owner was not paid to display the sticker.
*ping*
Serious times. Only one side is violent and it’s not our Tea Party(s). We’re not responsible or associated with fringe groups, but their side is a bundled mess of union thugs, Marxists, Communists, anarchists and malcontents.

Crazy anarchist kids. They seem usually to hang out in Seattle. But NOLA apparently has a contingent as well.
May God protect us from what's ahead. Resist!
Thanks for the ping, Laz.

No. I have stated a crime was committed. What remains to be seen is whether it was based on a Palin pin and the ‘let’s get them’ phrase.
I hope the cameras will at the very least show the perps who did this. What remains to be seen is whether it was based on Palin hate.
I haven't heard Rush mention it either.
It appears that the Governor’s office is being very careful in its statements. At this point, there seems to be scarcely any corroboration from an authoritative source. If the stories are true, local talk-radio will pick it up.
Unfortunately, the local police has been under a lot of deserved criticism lately. As a result, they will be reluctant to involve themselves unless the evidence is rock-solid. Even then, the Chief of Police is on his way out, and may well decide it’s not worth the grief.
Nothing on FNC or Rush. I think both are waiting for the NOPD’s formal announcement. I hope Hannity goes with the story.
You will not hear about this EXCEPT on the Internet and maybe Conservative talk Radio.
Thanks for letting us know.
They were hurt badly. This is no joke.
You mean, 'ATROCITY', don'tcha? These kinds of things are ATROCITIES, NOT tragedies. Big difference.
Hannity may cover it first. I’m surprised, though, that Rush hasn’t even mentioned it.
Put the first couple down and you'll be seeing little of the others except their heels. Their kind are cowards.
