On Friday April 9, 2010, GOP official Allee Bautsch and her boyfriend Joe Brown attended a Republican dinner at Brennan’s restaurant in New Orleans. When they left this event they were followed from the restaurant by a group of five white men who hurled insults at them calling Allee a “little blond bitch” and calling Joe a “f**king f*ggot.” They brutally beat and stomped on the young Republican couple just blocks from the restaurant.
Allee Bautsch suffered a broken leg from the beatdown outside to the SRLC dinner at Brennan’s Restaurant in New Orleans. She had her leg operated on over the weekend and it will take her months to recover. Her boyfriend Joe Brown suffered a broken nose, a broken jaw, and a concussion.

On Saturday, Allee Bautsch’s mother spoke out about the vicious attack. She joined Allee’s friend and said the attackers were leftist protesters. Yahoo reported:
Allee Bautsch’s mother, Della Berning, has now joined a friend of Bautsch’s in telling Yahoo! News that, contrary to what Brown initially told police, Bautsch and Brown do believe that the attackers were a group of political protesters who followed them after they left the event. Their recollection is not conclusive, of course, and they admit to having no knowledge of the attackers’ underlying motivations.
According to Berning, Bautsch and Brown are recovering from their injuries and the trauma of the attack, and so are not speaking directly to the media. However, the couple authorized her to come forward with their account of the attack. Berning told Yahoo! News that she reconfirmed with her daughter each detail of the account she offered via email and phone.
New Orleans, Louisiana police initially dismissed the savage attack on GOP official Allee Bautsch and her boyfriend Joe Brown in the French Quarter. They reported it as a medical call and did not even interview the couple about the brutal beating until Monday. NOLA.com reported:
When news of last weekend’s assault of Republican campaign fundraiser Allee Bautsch and her boyfriend broke on Monday, police logs detailing crimes and complaints reported in the French Quarter that night did not list the attack on the pair.
That’s because the April 9 incident was first labeled a medical call, which meant no police report needed to be written. Indeed, according to the initial report released Friday by New Orleans police, it wasn’t until Monday that a detective was assigned to investigate the incident — in which Bautsch broke her leg and her boyfriend, Joseph Brown, broke his jaw.
Monday was also the day news reports and blogs began chattering about the attack, sometimes laden with the juicy possibility the attackers were anti-Republican protesters.
The initial incident report does not resolve the question of whether Bautsch and Brown were attacked by protesters, who had picketed the restaurant they were in earlier that night.
But the sequence of the NOPD’s response to an attack that left Bautsch with a broken leg and Brown with a fractured jaw and nose, raises questions about why the department didn’t deal with the incident as an assault from the get-go. Subsequent police statements and reports about the incident note that officers did respond to the scene, calling an ambulance to take Bautsch and Brown to the hospital.
NOPD spokesman Bob Young said the explanation is simple: The responding officer didn’t know the extent of the couple’s injuries. That officer knew the couple needed help and was told that Brown had been in a fight, but concentrated on getting them medical assistance, he said.
If the officer had known how badly they were hurt, the case would have been reclassified immediately as some kind of battery, Young said.
The Hayride added this on the politically motivated attack on the young Republican couple leaving a GOP dinner.
Most conservative websites and blogs are avoiding this topic like the plague. Why? Because they are afraid. Liberals scream “racism” without the slightest shred of evidence and the mainstream media scream with them, but conservatives are afraid to speak the truth even when faced with clear and convincing evidence. They are cowards.
This is not a court of law and the Iron Rail Gang isn’t on trial (yet), but the conservative media have acted as though Iron Rail must be convicted beyond a reasonable doubt before they can say a word on the topic. It’s no coincidence that the only major conservative media outlet to have accurately covered the story belongs to Andrew Breitbart, because he actually has some guts. The rest of the conservative media still seem to be afraid that the MSM is going to say something bad about them.
One more thing… The anarchists and leftists outside the SLRC event that night had posted an ominous warning on their website before the GOP officials were attacked. The Hayride reported:
…There was also an eight-page brochure the group put together that did not appear on the Facebook event page for the protest (since removed – there were 209 people who had RSVP’ed for the event and from that roster we found Mauch and Dubinsky), and that brochure was much more ominous. It listed several “Points of Unity,” among them being:
- The SRLC is not welcome in NOLA without a fuss - Recognize healthcare as a basic human right - Oppose police oppression, the prison-industrial complex, and the dominant culture of militarism - Recognize the need for active resistance to confront all forms of oppression, respecting a diversity of tactics
The brochure also contained a map of the five hotels at which SRLC delegates were primarily staying, which is extremely disturbing.
Kathleen Parker is what Lenin called a “useful idiot”. Find some nobody who can be publicly portrayed as a leading “conservative” or other “opponent” of your views (I never saw or heard of Kathleen Parker until she started criticizing Palin and was all over the MSM doing it), then build her up with repeated appearances and columns in your favorite newspapers. She becomes the darling of the left, makes money bashing those supposedly on her political “side”, shows you are willing to print “opposing” viewpoints from leading “conservatives” and like Russ Douthat, David Brooks, and David Frum, act as very useful Charlie McCarthy’s for your Edgar Bergen.
Yes, they just fell down and this happened.
in which Bautsch had her leg broken and her boyfriend, Joseph Brown, had his jaw broken..
Defending yourself against a violent attack is now called violent threats.
UNBELIVABLE
Has the whole world gone nuts?
Wouldn’t you just love to hear that conversation?
Somebody is stomping them like a cockroach and they say
“Excuse me , would you mind handing me my cell phone so I can take your picture?”
“The responding officer didn’t know the extent of the couple’s injuries. That officer knew the couple needed help and was told that Brown had been in a fight, but concentrated on getting them medical assistance, he said.”
The above don’t jibe with itself....
That will work for a start but when they start beating, crippling and eventually killing us, it’s going to be time to get serious. They’re playing for keeps. What are we doing?
“in which Bautsch had her leg broken and her boyfriend, Joseph Brown, had his jaw broken..”
Even that sounds too passive.
“in which attackers [”thugs” “miscreants” “anarchists” “goons” “rabble-rousers” “cretins” “troublemakers”: pick any subject description you want, but don’t hide the active agent responsible for these outcomes] broke Bautsch’s leg in four places and also broke the jaw of her boyfriend, Joseph Brown.”
“which Bautsch broke her leg and her boyfriend, Joseph Brown, broke his jaw.
This kind of reporting just irks me! She did not break her leg and he did not break his jaw! They were attacked and the damned Anarchist attackers broke her leg, in four places, and they broke his jaw!”
Me to R_D232, Makes me so mad I could chew nails.
Somebody start a reward fund for the information leading to the arrest and conviction of these criminals. I will contribute...
So, you base your pacifist ideas on one failed leftist? The left has been constantly organizing small groups into injured parties protesting as mobs. Now we have to dance to their tune on every issue. Often the lefts mobs use violence. Because we have surrendered to the left, we can't even protect ourselves from the new black flash mobs because we will be call racists if we do. George Washington managed to free us of the British by using organized violence without video cameras. Calling me a troll for pointing out stupid strategies just reinforces your ignorance.

Call Napolitano, this is domestic terrorism!!”
Some here on FR have not matured enough to recognize the enemy for what they are... Or they are trolls trying to defuse our movement by sapping it of the anger.
Either way, people are going to get hurt or killed if the marxists don’t pack it up and go home.
I totally agree with you. This is going to get very bad indeed.
video cameras are not going to be as effective with a captured media as you’d like SL
You keep your camera. Ill take my J frame snubby and my Walther P-99.
The commies will stick a camera up your butt my friend.
As I said in my original post, I suggest you carry both camera and handgun.
“Are you Obama? Isn’t that what he said recently?”
Actually I thought that he was paraphrasing what Sean Connery’s character said in the movie The Untouchables
