Human Events (developing story) : Friday evening outside of a $10,000-per-plate Republican fundraiser at Brennan’s Restaurant in New Orleans, a top fundraiser for Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal -- along with her boyfriend -- were assaulted as they walked to their vehicle parked two blocks away.The Hayride reports that Allee Bautsch and her boyfriend Joe Brown were followed and attacked expressly because they had Palin pins on. The New Orleans Times-Picayune is reporting Bautsch suffered a broken leg and Brown suffered a concussion, a broken jaw and a broken nose in the attack. Bautch required surgery over the weekend with an estimated 2-3 month recovery time.
“NOPD is investigating the incident and we are refraining from further comment to allow them to fully investigate and ensure justice is done,” Kyle Plotkin, Jindal spokesman, said. “Our prayers are with Allee. She is a strong person and we are sure she will make a speedy recovery.”
Developing story in New Allegations of Political Motivation in Brutal Beating of Jindal Fundraiser
WAR!
Hate Crime?
Where are the Thought Police on this one??
Where’s the MSM? Someone pulling ‘say it don’t spray it’ gets national news attention. Republicans actually injured solely because of their political views = no story???
I understand that Bobby is governor and he wouldn’t want to jeopardize a case against the thugs, but I’d be awfully tempted if I were him to get more coverage on this.
Welcome to Germany, circa 1931.
Guaranteed,
the media will ignore these events, even as they escalate,
but the FIRST time someone fights back,
or ventilates one of these thugs,
it’ll be evidence of the “violent right wing”.
This isn’t assault, it’s attempted murder
Exhibit A in why my 1911 is always on my hip.
There you have it. It’s starting. Will this have an affect on people that are going to Tea Parties?
MSM silence
Michelle Malkin is saying slow down because she has just heard the couple were not wearing Palin pins. We need more facts.
What happened here is just am example of reality versus the msm fantasy about what goes on in America.
Those are very serious injuries. Prayers to them and their loved ones.
I think we are living in very dangerous times in America. If we were being invaded by a foreign power we would all see the danger - and act. But we seem to be facing domestic enemies to our way of life as well. We need to stay strong, smart, and brave and face this threat.
Shoot the punks...I will if they try such on me or mine...
Was Ted Turner in charge of colorizing that pic?
Palin Hate Crime
And the MSM will be right on top of this one...(crickets)
Ping, and for ping list consideration.
well, that was short lived.
I do wonder why such a brutal attack occurred, including breaking her leg.
