Mother of Beaten Jindal Staffer Breaks Silence to Fox News (Bautsch Stomped, Leg Broken Four Places)

Fox News’ Megyn Kelly has finally broken the wall of silence on major news coverage of the brutal beating of Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal’s top fundraising staffer. A full transcript follows below.

Della Burning, mother of Jindal staffer Allee Bautsch, confirmed that her daughter had been savagely beaten. She refused to discuss whether or not politics were involved (although at one point in the interview she did say the report was “accurate” when New Orleans Police Information Officer said slurs hurled at her daughter during the attack were “political in nature”).

Burning confirmed her daughter's leg is broken in four places and she has five surgical scars and a steel rod now running from her knee to her ankle with seven screws holding it all in place. She did not fall and break her leg as was reported in the lonely and inaccurate story done by the Associated Press. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ikzm03fmGCMbjFoF2UvfkbGhPm2wD9F2GLOG0

Burning also confirmed that the attackers did not rob her daughter or her daughter’s boyfriend.

The attack happened one week ago today as Bautsch and her boyfriend left a $10,000-per-plate Republican fundraiser at Brennan’s Restaurant in the French Quarter where a local group of anarchists, the Iron Rail Collective, were among radical leftist groups that organized a protest outside. Attendees had to run a gauntlet of these aggressive protesters hurling slurs as they left the event.

SNIP

KELLY: One reporter says that he spoke with the Public Information Officer at the New Orleans Police and that Public Information Officer said that insults of a political nature had been hurled at your daughter and her boyfriend during the attack. Do you have any problem with that report?

BURNING: Honestly this is not a Republican or Democrat problem, this is a problem that a young girl and her boyfriend were attacked and the story hasn’t really come out. And I just want to make sure that these guys are found. That’s the important part of this. There is accuracy in the story. I just think that yes when you do the investigation you do look at the people who were in the area at the time, to be able to bring the right people in for questioning. That’s the really important part.

SNIP

KELLY: We certainly hope so. Della how’s your daughter doing?

BURNING: This was very serious. She has four breaks in her leg. It’s her left leg. She has a rod that goes down the entire center of her leg with seven screws. She has a screw through her entire ankle.

KELLY: Oh, my goodness…

BURNING: For a mother, it’s a lot… you know the recovery is enormous. She has five different scars that she’ll have from this. So this isn’t just something that, you know, that she was pushed down on the ground or something or that she fell. That is not the case.

KELLY: They were stomping her.

BURNING: Joseph and Allee, it was such a terrible thing that, I think that coming out of it, it took a really long time to even be able to make sense of the whole thing. You can understand when something like that happens to you.

KELLY: I know that the report says she broke her leg in five places, he broke his nose, as well…

BURNING: He has a fractured jaw, a broken nose, a black eye…

Why or why the silence from the GOP and Jindal’s office? It is not good enough to stay silent because of an ongoing investigation. The state media and the rest of the leftists are winning because conservatives in power won’t speak up and assure publicity. The meme is that tea partiers are violent; the threat is right wing militias. Conservative leaders have to break through this wall of censorship, some of it self censorship, or it will be open season on all of us.

when I read posts about the ass handing to them they are going to get in November, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I know...I fully expect the S to hit the fan between Labor Day and Halloween, and it's going to be nasty.

[tx_eggman]

Everyone at Free Republic knows exactly what I’m talking about here. The radical bullies won’t stop, but we can make them pause and back away if we bluntly show them they’re gon’na die.

If I'm threatened with injury, I'm not showing them they're gonna die, they're just gonna die.

It’s not just silence from the MSM and the GOP. Conservative talk radio and leading bloggers have also been tip-toeing around this story. They’re all worried about “backlash” if they don’t have conclusive proof that this was an anti-Republican attack. If the roles were reversed, the attack dogs within the Dem caucus and MSM would have immediately accused the Tea Party, Republicans and talk radio for inciting the incident.

Okay ... just in time for your Tea-Party Counter Demo. Here is a collection of media (poster, flyers, quartersheets/bookmarks) playing off the Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter Tea Party Theme.

Really. Conservatives have cameras, too. Where were they?

Have you heard about the SRLC Welcoming Committee? We are a coalition of New Orleans individuals and groups (including the Committee to Save Charity Hospital) coming together to welcome the Southern Republican Leadership Committee to New Orleans by letting them and the world know what we think of Republican governor Bobby Jindal's ruthless assaults on Louisiana healthcare and education.

“It also falls into line with my general operating schedule which is to never brandish a weapon. I will only pull it into view as I am using it.”

To each their own of course, but OC is not considered brandishing under VA law.

The SRLC Welcoming Committee is a broad coalition of local educators, healthcare workers, students and other Louisianians, as well as members of the Committee to Reopen Charity Hospital, Save UNO, the Iron Rail Collective, Pax Christi, and many others.

SEIU?

Give the poster a cigar.

I would never show up to one of these events without, at minimum, a FlipHD and preferably something with longer than 2 hrs and some extra batteries. Just sayin’. :-)

We hope this page serves as a valuable resource. The United Neighborhood Organization (UNO) was established by a group of community leaders and local Priests in 1984. Modeled on the Saul Alinsky style of community organizing, we sought to build grass-roots leadership within Chicago's Hispanic neighborhoods to organize for power and address local issues such as prevalent street violence, the Hispanic dropout rate and overcrowding in schools.

Modeled on the Saul Alinsky style of community organizing,

These people run Charter schools in Chicago, about 6 of them if I recall correctly.

They're also the recipient of millions of Federal dollars.

[fantom]

Well the left can rest easy . Jindal can't go after them from under his desk .

[GeronL]

How many of those organizations have the same 16 people as members?

This was brutal. Still almost total silence in the MSM. The same MSM that was all concerned about political violence a week ago.

Make no mistake THERE WAS NO CONCERN! The MSM wanted to play up there was violence. It was intentionally invented out of whole cloth in order for there to be "retaliation."

The "concern" was that there WASN'T any violence from the Tea Parties. This entire time the MSM has been trying to incite violence from the Tea Parties, in order to justify leftist "retaliation" or "defense." But the Tea Parties didn't bite. So, the MSM concoted, with their co-conspirators in the dumacrat party, to plant stories of violence. It is a lot easier to attract support if you turn your opponent into a despicable monster.

Everyone wondered why Piglousy and her crew walked passed the Tea Partiers. Now you know. They played up the story, they riled up the easily misled. They maliciously played on the left's anger, hate, and lust for power. They made them "righteous."

Remember, "We need to get in their faces?" Remember, "If they bring a knife we bring a gun?"

Words have meaning whether "WE" recognize their intent or not. "They should be thanking ME," for lowering their taxes.

See, "WE" are trying to take away from "THEM." "WE" are racist and violent and angry, and stupid, and intolerant and greedy. "WE" want old people to die quicker. "WE" want DANGEROUS people to keep and bear arms. "WE don't want to "pay our fair share." "WE" are against 0bama's wonderful programs. "WE" are the timothy McVeighs that are going to blow up buildings and kill innocent people.

"WE" are the party of "NO."

Who says "NO?" Parents say "no." Dog owners tell their dogs "NO." People (and Americans in particular) don't like being told "NO." Don't tell me I CAN'T do something. My ENTIRE LIFE I've been told I'm special and unique and important, I can do anything; ANYTHING, I want to. Everyone gets an A. Everyone is good. My school work is graded in purple. My actions have no bad consequences; i am not responsible for bad things. Bad things that happen are beyond my control. I'm ENTITLED to do as such as I want; you can't tell ME "NO!"

And those evil Tea Partiers hate blacks, and gays, and the elderly, and the poor. And they are violent. DHS said so. TV says so..... The "news" says so. And those "violent" Tea Partiers attacked congressmen in broad daylight on national television.......

....it doesn't take a whole lot of connect the dots before these people start thinking the evil right wingers will attack them next. That the evil right wingers will find some imperfection to target.... race, sexual preference, religious beliefs, age, income level and on and on. The choreographed media campaign continues and soon, these useful idiots start feeling it is "self-defense," or "collective-defense." How are they going to pay their student loans? Young people have some of the highest rates of unemployment. The GOP wants to scrap the healthcare bill that would help with student loans. The GOP wants to cut unemployment benefits; how will they pay all of these loans for their liberal arts degrees? The GOP is "attacking" ME.

To re-cap; the only political violence concerns the MSM had of the Tea Parties, was that there wasn't any to justify the left's next step. So, thy invented it. And the left took their step.

Well; I did see/hear this interview; but glossed over this Mother; not making this 'political'. When this first happened; offered as much as it could have been the 'attraction' of peitite blond w/male friend. (For the barbarous; this can create a 'hum'. .) That said; the sheer viciousness of this attack does more than suggest that it WAS politcal; as did reports supposedly confirm.

Where is the companion? Is he speaking out 'yet'?

Am wondering if there is some 'fear' here; (I would have some, for sure) per their allowing that it was political.)

[Anti-Bubba182]

If the assailants turned out to be SEIU or ACORN related that would not surprise me!

The Iron Rail Collective talks about its intentions to disrupt the SLRC (Southern Republican Leadership Conference) here.

The Iron Rail class war happens

There's going to be a big, crazy second line in the CBD on Friday: the Stooges Brass Band, the Free Agents Brass Band, and a level of ass-shaking the business district hasn't seen since the Second Line to Reopen Charity. We're going to party and rage down Poydras, and we're going to show the boy prince Bobby Jindal that the people of Louisiana have had it with his policies of privatization.

The Southern Republican Leadership Conference (SRLC) takes place from April 8-11 in New Orleans, and is the largest gathering of Republican leadership short of the presidential convention. As Bobby Jindal is groomed for higher office, the Second Line for Healthcare & Education is our opportunity to present a unified response to Jindal's assault on Lousiana's state hospital system & public education.

This group is definitely left-wing and definitely inciting violence.
