kristinn, Is anyone sending this to the major news outlets?
First, Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin tells us that Alle Bautsch was not wearing a Palin pin. And neither was Joe Brown. So that’s an allegation which has been disputed.
Second, as far as the Jindal administration is concerned they do not have evidence at this time that the attack on Bautsch and Brown was directly related to the protest. We have a report, as you’ll see below, that the attack was politically motivated, and we’re looking forward to full confirmation of that fact. But the two are not necessarily at odds; our understanding is that Bautsch and Brown remained at Brennan’s after the fundraiser was over and by the time they left there wasn’t much of a protest going on – so if we’ve given the impression that the attack occurred as a result of fundraiser attendees having to run a gauntlet of Democrats upon leaving the restaurant we’d like to correct that right now; that is not our understanding.
Third, since the attack itself appears to have come from assailants who apparently either followed the victims (which we think is most reasonable, given that Brennan’s is located half a block from a police station) or happened upon them and decided to express displeasure with Republican politics in an unacceptably demonstrable fashion, a facet of this we’re actively looking into is the nature of the protest itself. As we noted in the original post here, a group of self-described “anarchists” claim to have disrupted the event and there are snippets of information – or were – following the event in which people holding themselves out as protestors bragged about confrontations with evil Republicans they’d had on Friday.
SNIP. More at source link.
this will happen till one of ours shoots one of those thugs.
New Orleans is SEIU and ACORN central!
When Gateway Pundit quotes Free Republic, you know the truth is going to lose

And it did!
But if you think Gateway Pundit's Jim Hoft is ever going to correct this lie, even after Michelle Malkin has called out the claim as being bogus, you simply don't understand how portions of the far-right blogosphere work: You just makes stuff up. Period.
Gateway Pundit's fact-free claim was that a young GOP fundraiser and her boyfriend were "savagely beaten for wearing Palin pins" over the weekend in New Orleans. And what was Gateway Pundit's source for the "Palin pins" scoop? That bastion of journalism, Free Republic.

Oh, yeah, this is all over the cable news...oh...wait...never mind.
I wonder if the lowlifes were SEIU.
Must have been those gosh dang Jihadi Amish again. < / sarc
Wow. I was in NO last weekend.
Reference *bump*
We won’t hear this from the MSM.
You’re looking at a bunch of thugs with no connection to reality.
Sarah Palin presents an easy target and since the only language they understand is derison and violence.
Well you’re not so much venison to be beaten into so much pulp.There is a time to think and understand everything these people are.
They literally believe this is the beginning(Seras)of a long liberal reich.To continue FDR’s legacy using his methods.As the money dries,as people without Character turn on each other for their skin color and whatnot....they will only keep bashing easy targets.
I hope they recover, marry, bear and raise 19 homeschooled, armed, conservative children in revenge for this.
Dear Lord Jesus, be with these witnesses to the truth, with these who have been persecuted for standing up for thy truth, as manifested in Sarah Palin. Heal them every bit whole, and fill them with the joy of knowing that great is their reward in heaven!
“When the man described as the male victim “turned toward”
Hate to say it, but if you are in the FQ of New Orleans, are out numbered, the last thing you want to do is turn toward harrassers. It`s like begging for a beat down.
Shades of the brown shirted nazis pre WWII. Gives new meaning to Michael Savage’s declaration that liberalism is a mental disorder. But lest you think me political, this is the One I (de)vote for every day:
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. John 18:36
