The scandal of the aftermath of the vicious political attack on Alexandra "Allee" Bautsch, the chief fundraiser for Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, and her boyfriend, Joe Brown, as they left a Republican fundraiser attended by three GOP governors (Jindal, Rick Perry of Texas and Haley Barbour of Mississippi) April 9th has taken a sickening turn as a report has surfaced that some in the Lousiana GOP are giving Bautsch what amounts to a second beating by starting a whispering campaign that she "earned" the attack with her "sassy mouth."
Blogger Pat Dollard, who has been working the story of the attack, Tweeted last night accusing some in the Louisiana GOP of saying that Bautsch deserved the attack and that he's confirmed the Louisiana "Republican establishment" is trying to "shut down the Allee Bautsch story." His report is in contrast to a statement by Louisiana GOP Chairman Louis Villere, Jr.--who has not blamed Bautsch for the attack--that he was pursued without provocation by protesters outside the same event where Bautsch and Brown were later attacked.
Dollard's report lends credence to what a reporter who is also working the story told me on background last week, that the scuttlebutt was that people were going to be saying Bautsch has a "big mouth" and "may have brought the attack on herself."
Dollard's Tweets:
"I have verification that the Republican establishment in Louisiana is trying to shut down the Allee Bautsch story."

Gov. Jindal has been noticably silent on the maiming of his aide, issuing a brief statement three days after the attack when it first became public and later sending out his spokesman to deny a report that the couple was wearing Sarah Palin pins when attacked. Curiously, the New Orleans police also waited three days until the attack became public to open a criminal investigation.
Bautsch's mother, Della Berning, says her daughter's leg was stomped and broken in four places by protesters who were part of an anti-Republican protest organized by leftists who followed the couple from Brennan's restaurant, the scene of the fundraiser.
Bautsch's wounds required a rod and seven screws to be implanted in her leg. Brown suffered a broken nose and jaw and as well as a concussion that gave him problems with remembering details of the attack.
According to the police report, which is based on Brown's beating-induced foggy memory, the attackers yelled things like, " "Little blonde bitch," "You're a f------- faggot," and "You think you're f------ special."
Bautsch's mother told Fox News, "...things were said to my daughter and to her boyfriend that basically everything was about money. From the time they were walking out of the restaurant things were being said to them."
Berning told Yahoo News that Brown and her daughter have told her they were attacked by protesters who followed them as they left the fundraiser at Brennan's.
The host of the fundraiser, Louisiana Republican Chairman Roger Villere, Jr., said in an intrview that he was targeted and pursued by protesters as he tried to leave the fundraiser. He and his group had to leave out the back as the protesters had blocked the entrance to Brennan's. When the protesters spotted them, Villere and his group fled to a taxi and made their escape. Bautsch and Brown weren't as lucky.
Some conservative bloggers and reporters have hurt their reputations with their condescending efforts to play down the political basis for the attack on Bautsch and Brown.
Pat Dollard spoke for many last night when he Tweeted:
Welcome to the Stockholm Syndrome of the Republican Establishment, and the Elites of the Conservative Blogging Establisment who prop 'em up.

And
I'm getting the feeling that the elites in the Conservative blogging establishment are as useless as the elites in the GOP.

With the mainstream media feeling no pressure to pursue the story, it's no wonder some in the Louisiana GOP are not afraid to blame the victim.
Fortunately, The Hayride, Free Republic, Human Events, Gateway Pundit, Big Government, Lincoln Parish News Online, Tennessee Conservative, Big Journalism and Pat Dollard have maintained their independence from GOP and MSM approval and reported the story as it developed.
While late to the story, Fox News and Megyn Kelly get credit for interviewing Bautsch's mother last Friday and for booking The Hayride's Scott McKay to be on about 2:10 p.m. EDT today.
Well, we have medical reports that those were the injuries sustained and that is official! Its crap that anyone would justify Vicious and Brutal Beatings on a “Sassy Mouth!” That is Outrageous! The PERPS should be thrown in the same prison pit that McDougal was forced to Die In!...:-P
agree and it seems th eonly way is for us to tell everyone we know as the MSM is criminal in their approach to the news
The GOP is not an arm of the Left - yet, its constituents are expended to retain chattering rights with the elites.
The GOP should fear the constituents more than it desires the spoils of control and stardom.
Yes! The Freakin GOP Chairman runs out a Backdoor after being confronted at the front door before this Vicious Attack Occurs!! Does he give a Rat;s Behind about all of the other Guests and call the Police and Security to break up these THUGS!! NO! He Runs out the Back door like the Coward he obviously is and when almost attacked again and narrowly escaping in a Cab, just brags about his Cowardice and doesn’t then call for RIOT POLICE to protect the rest of the GOP Loyal Fund Raisers! Te two Victims could well have Died!! Anyone who has been in a Fight like this knows that any given punch or Kick may well be a Lethal Blow and these two Victims were Beaten SAVAGELY!! Just Like OBAMA HUSSEIN has Advocated Many Times!
Jindal is a Limp wristed wimpering Wuss who is afraid of his own extremely skinny shadow! and as others have pointed out, he only ever speaks in platitudes that are designed for only his own blind abitions. Outside of that, did I forget to say he is a nice guy, well I didn’t forget because he ain’t!
Those who aren't listening should be removed.........and as quickly as possible.
This gives us a hint of what we can expect from the party elite when Obama’s thug army (as authorized in the so called “health care bill”) start coming after us at Tea Party events.
It will happen. Just like more of this is going to happen. And be prepared to be excoriated when we defend ourselves.
The more significant the Tea Party movement becomes, the more likely the leftist thugs will use violence. It is going to get a lot uglier, and the GOP will go wobbly when that happens.
We must take over the GOP at the local and state levels.
If what I’m hearing is correct a Jindal aide and her boyfriend get beaten up and he says nothing? That is an outrage no matter who assaulted the pair. That outrage should be expressed.
I’m not a Jindal apostle. In the absense of any other information the man has further convinced me he has reached the limit of his public life.
On the up side it somewhat clarifies who the legitimate conservative presidential candidate will be.
Louseyanna. What do you expect.
“Can’t we Freepers just all chip in for an island in the south pacific? Please?”
I doubt it. We can’t even chip in enough to keep FR at the rate the FReepathon is going.
WOW
[”The Republican Establishment in Louisiana is afraid of Allee Bautsch, they think she “has a sassy mouth” and may have “earned” the beating.”]
Jindal is keeping quiet. People saying she “earned” the beating. More to this story than is being played on the news.
But use this as a warning. If there is a mob at the front door, leave out the back. If you can, carry concealed. Leave and arrive in large groups.
In short, realize that when you go to a political event, you are inside the tree line. Act accordingly.
Her attackers broke her leg didn’t they?
What did she say that deserved that?
And if the politics were reversed, this would be a lead story on every media outlet.
Thanks for the ping!
Jindal either is hiding something or has turned out to be a panty waist.
This makes me want to walk into the Times Picayune and scream at some directors...where the heck is the HSM? Head up their butt.
I think your comment might make the most sense of any. I’ve tried and tried to understand RINO thinking, and this simple explanation might make the most sense. They are from the day when politics was a polite debate tournament, not a down & dirty fight for our lives and liberty.
Why would he have to be asked. The woman that was hurt was his subordinate. He could at least have the balls to say something, not send out a minion to do his talking for him. Disgusting and weak.
How could Miss Bautsch’s leg have broken by falling or being pushed down?
Seeing from the picture of the mauling, her left leg is crossed over her right. Utilizing the right leg as leverage the assailant stomped on the left leg snapping both lower leg bones, reinforcing the report of four bone fractures.
Also the man was sucker punched and his jaw is fractured, most probably from an enhanced striking object such as brass knuckles.
And for what?

Sick
The “Tea Party” is over 55% women - I notice the mothers are bring their daughters too -
And Democrats, Libertarians, Independents make up much of the Tea Party
It is key to keep economic/jobs at top of the agenda with rights nd liberties - getting into divisive issues as Number #1 is what Obama/Clinton/DNC plan on to win this Nov and in 2012 and 2014
Without winning the Freepers and Tea Party will have no power or effect
You can scream about social issues untill the cows come home
But Obama and the DNC will own your cows by then
The OKC/talk radio crud by Clinton as Obama’s surrogate is an obvious clue that the democrat radical Socialists ate panicking
Sarah Palin, the Tea Party - thet put fear into the left
Goldman-Sachs is a diversion - G-S has long been a dem piggy bank
Rahm Emanuel made mega-millions as a Director at Freddie Mac in a few short years -
And also worked at Goldman-Sachs
Goldman-Sachs should be compared to the Keating Five scandals
People in Congress and the Obama administrtaion need to be prosecuted and do heavy prison times
The abortion issue is important - but it will only be solved if you win
Flame away - Make abortion the #1 agenda - and relive Bob Dole, John McCain, Tom Dewey
Are you ready for anothe FDR-rerun of 50 years under the Obama platform of Socialism for you little peons - and Castro/Chavez mega-wealth for the dem ruling elite?
Please - no Bible verses saying “all will fine by and by”
You will sentence your kids and grandkids to live in Muslim/Commie/whatever slavery while you go on to a better place
I call that ignorance and cowardice and insanity
Get off your lazy butts and catch some fish and plant and harvest grain for bread - or do you ignore what you were shown and told?
