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.
...bring it...
Why have a .45? Cause shooting twice is a waste of effort!
Seriously, anything over a .357 mag will do the job with one well placed hit, but if you’re shooting a 9mm or .380, having Hornady CritDs or XTPs helps!
Up until the last few days I said I didn’t know where Obama was born but Hawaii, where no hospital, doctor, or nurse will claim his birth or claim witnessing said birth, looked less and less likely.
This past April 25, 2010, the National Assembly of Kenya blew the lid off the pot. See page 31, about halfway down the page where one of Kenya’s government ministers refers to the American President having been born in Kenya.

Disagree. 55 percent of the U.S. population lives in counties protected by levees.

Worth reading... :)
This is not an issue of whether or not the U.S. Constitution matters. Of course the U.S. Constitution matters. This is an issue of what the U.S. Constitution requires. Just because I disagree with you about what the term “natural born citizen” means does not mean that I don’t think the Constitution matters, and it certainly does not mean I am not a conservative.
Reasonable conservative minds can disagree.
Don’t put words in my mouth!
I didn’t say “protected by levies”, now did I?
New Orleans is below sea level, between a major continental river and a large lake, close enough to the Gulf of Mexico, and in an area prone to severe hurricanes. You don’t have to be really smart to know what that can mean.
Lousiana is known for a crooked judicial system. I do hope the thugs were caught and prosecuted for attempted murder!
We are not safe anywhere these days and must defend our selves.
You may disagree but a great many Constitutional scholars will tell you that you’re wrong.
Wow. I was in NO last weekend.
Reference *bump*
April 19th. What a date. Whew.
Your plan sounds good.
BTW, I did not say that; I was responding to a poster who had said it.

I was actually the original poster of the quote. I mistakenly excluded your portion of the quote.
My bad.
If the MSM cant blame the tea baggers, it aint news. I avoid the MSM at all costs, and if Im subjected to it involuntarily, I write it off as hype. CNN and the major networks are no longer capable of objectivity; they dont even try.
Of course they don't try - that's obvious from the very fact that they claim to be objective. If they were trying to be objective, they would start by disclosing all reasons why they might not be objective.Since they claim to be objective, they aren't even trying to be objective - only to gull the credulous into believing they are objective.
A fellows got to make a living somehow....
Thanks for the ping Laz.
BTTT
We won’t hear this from the MSM.
Do you all have a reading comprehension problem? If the levees had held, there would not have been any flooding, and no need to evacuate.
