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 Brennan’s 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 “Let’s 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.

I think you’re wrong. I think they will try everything and anything possible to incite violence, including staged violence.

Well I see things are back to normal in the Big Easy or is that the Big Sleazy?

Then you should find another church.

Or kindly let them know that they (church leaders) are completely, totally, and legally responsible for the safety and well-being of ALL on the premises, and any hazard or danger inflicted on the people will be the direct responsibility of them.

Signs mean nothing. Your family’s and your personal safety and survival mean everything.

We’re not dealing with rational people anymore; we’re dealing with lunatics intent on doing harm - be they libs, muzzies, or any other lunatic with a cause.

Stay armed, stay alive.

Go here; read, learn, get aware, and wake up others. http://www.a-human-right.com/introduction.html

Have you looked at Hornady Critical Defense or XTP rounds? They’re for when you want to send the very best...

The democrat party has become increasingly violent as it marches toward a one party Chavez/Castro style socialist tyranny.

Lemme get this straight-- all I have to do is go to downtown N.O. wearing a Palin button and packin' my 45, and I can get attacked and blast me some union thugs? Sweet. This civil war thing is going to be over in no time.

Yes, that was /sarc. Mostly.

I'd go with a semi-auto..... a GROUP jumped them.

I used a little rough language myself when hubby was watching the Masters, but it was directed at Tiger for prioritizing the game over his marriage ; )

The MSM cannot cover this because ... they began it.

"PRESIDENT OBAMA: And this week, .... we're going to be doing is bringing some of them into the White House and --
JIM LEHRER: To crack heads?"

"To crack heads?" Lehrer asks.
"Oh, I don't know about cracking heads," Obama said, "facilitating a discussion that solves these problems." "

"PBS's Jim Lehrer ... urged the executive to "crack heads"
to get his health care plan passed, and inquired if "taxing the wealthy" was an option to fund it.
Lehrer later pressed Mr. Obama on the "huge profits" being made by "big Wall Street banks.""

Gov. Bobby Jindal's campaign finance director injured in French Quarter incident

By Jan Moller, The Times-Picayune April 12, 2010, 2:47PM

Gov. Bobby Jindal's chief campaign fund-raiser is recovering from injuries she suffered in a Friday night altercation with a group of people in the French Quarter, the governor's office said Monday.

Allee Bautsch suffered a broken leg and her boyfriend suffered a concussion and a fractured nose and jaw in the incident, which happened after a fundraising event at Brennan's Restaurant on behalf of the Louisiana Republican Party on Friday evening.

Jindal was at the fund-raising event at the restaurant, but was not present when the incident occurred.

Kyle Plotkin, a Jindal spokesman, said Bautsch had surgery during the weekend and is facing a recovery time of two to three months.

"NOPD is investigating the incident and we are refraining from further comment to allow them to fully investigate and ensure justice is done," Plotkin said. "Our prayers are with Allee. She is a strong person and we are sure she will make a speedy recovery."

Do you want to lay odds about the attacker’s race?

[Noumenon]

Carry. Everywhere. Always. Quietly. Discreetly. to be judged by twelve than carried by six.

And if there's time, police your brass if you're not carrying a revolver. Better to be judged by no one but your Creator.

[GeronL]

this will be totally acceptable to the MSM

I do have a 45 that my dad got during the forties. I need to clean it up.....

[rlmorel]

I was attacked one time by five or six guys, and I can tell you, there was no way I could have identified even one of them.

I walked around for months examining the faces of people I passed, but just couldn’t recall, even though I had a good ten seconds of “conversation” with one of them before the others came around the corner and surrounded me.

I guess the adrenaline just wiped the slate blank.
