Sounds like a “hate crime” to me. Oh, I guess not they are WHITE.

... 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 “Let’s get them, they have Palin pins on” – so the attack WAS politically motivated as its victims understood it.

Here's some great marketing material -- whatever "goes together like a .45 and a Palin pin."

If the MSM can’t blame the tea baggers, it ain’t news. I avoid the MSM at all costs, and if I’m subjected to it involuntarily, I write it off as hype. CNN and the major networks are no longer capable of objectivity; they don’t even try.

Okay, Cokie Roberts, THIS IS FT. SUMTER, YOU BITCH!.....................

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.

Does this qualify as a HATE CRIME ?

I am sure this will be all over the MSM tonight.

[TexasCajun]

Maybe CNN will give you time to address the Liberal Hate!

Obama’s brown shirts active, I see.

I don’t use the comparison lightly.

Kristinn -

Have you sent this to Breitbart or Drudge? This needs to go viral.

[LibLieSlayer]

One must be armed and prepared to kill if one wants to be safe in new orleans... which is a real ****hole. I am just telling the truth.

What is needed is the legal ability to carry concealed - if they had been armed they could have stopped these thugs.

[IM2MAD]

I wonder how many attackers there were and if the two victims could give descriptions.

[Tzimisce]

Well it’s obvious that violent, racist, sexist, homophobic Tea Partiers are turning on themselves.

Next month in Obamaland, conservative Christians arrested for being reading the Bible.

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.

Gosh, that's quite surprising.

You'd almost think our media was choosing sides.

But...but....they wouldn't do that, would they?

Prayers up for Allee's and Joe's speedy recovery.

[The Wizard]

I say fight back when attacked......they want us to shoot them if we have too....

[nina0113]

I’m sorry I sent them a nickel after Katrina.

“Let’s also remember that Brennan’s is at 417 Royal Street in the French Quarter. There is a police station at 334 Royal Street, literally less than a block away. NOBODY gets mugged in front of a police station, not even in New Orleans, and not with a big crowd of people standing around – unless the assailant is with those people.”
