Joe Brown and Allee Bautsch
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.
Bautch's leg was broken and Brown incurred a broken jaw and nose as well as a concussion.
The Hayride reports that a source who visited Bautsch at the hospital the day after the attack says they were told the couple was attacked for wearing Palin buttons:
Two people at the Brennans event have now confirmed that the protest had largely broken up by the time it ended, 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 Lets get them, they have Palin pins on so the attack WAS politically motivated as its victims understood it. It was not a mugging, it was not an argument gone wrong and it was not a bar fight.
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.
Bttt
A long time ago, I knew a guy who passed thru Thailand on his way home from somewhere nasty and violent. HE was acosted in an alley by about eight thugs and they were all very easy to identify. He marked them by slipping to the ground the instant they grabbed him. As he went down he flipped open a lockblade pocket knife and deftly began to slit the achilles tendon of every leg he could capture. As he wormed his way out of the pile they gave chase... or they tried. Most just tried to slither along. That's my first strategy in such a situation, well ... besides using my 45 of course. That's one reason I opted for a Springfield Armory XD 45 compact. I keep a 10rd mag in the gun stoked with CORBON 185gr DPX and the backup mag is from a full sized XD which gives me an additional 13 rds. That's 24 rds of 45acp essentially ready to go. Two to the chest and one to the head ... I'd like 'em alive but I'll take 'em dead!
Wow....so the Left wants to bring it? Then bring it!
I wonder if the tactic now is to attack GOP support staff as a means of frightening them away from GOP officials. Last night the story was a molitov cocktail thrown at the home of Jan Brewer’s chief spokesman in Arizona.
So far no tearful speech from Nazi Pelousey.

What do you mean. There is the legal ability to carry concealed.
Link won’t load....for some reason.
They broke a woman's freakin' LEG because she was wearing a Sarah Palin pin??? This should be posted at ALL Sarah Palin websites (haven't seen it at many as of yet); and I wouldn't mind hearing a comment directly from the Governor...maybe THAT would get some attention from the deaf, dumb and blind media.
This particular incident should be thrown right back in the face of the media if they dare so much as to open their whiny yaps about the "violent" Tea Party supporters...
ping for later
It’s going to get ugly, and I place the blame right on the doorstep of Obama. He is empowering thugs within as well as our enemies in other countries.

Has Gov Jindal made a statement about this?
bttt
Anarchists are typically WASP kiddies. Note the photo that accompanies this article:

That's when the Palin supporters should have turned and started shooting.
Are you really going to take time to aim a third shot to the head when a mob is coming at you?
Pretty sure this will never see the light of day.
They will never know..unless they start checking.
