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.

[A quick transcript, all errors mine.]
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…
And not a single person got a picture of them? Whenever people are standing around looking for trouble like this you've got to get a couple pictures of them in case they need to be identified later. All it takes is a quick move with your cell phone.
im not so sure that would enlighten the majority of the rin-o-p faithful...
the boyfriend either held his own or they targeted the woman for the extra stompin...friggin pu**ies...
This is one the reasons why I believe that the November elections that all are anticipating will not occur. These monsters are starting to realize that a majority of us aren't getting on their bus to hell. And they've conducted themselves in a manner that says that they don't believe that elecions of any sort matter.
What more do you want, people? War is coming. Worse than war.
There is no such thing as a leftist anarchist. There are plenty of leftists who *think* they are anarchists, but actually they're just violent statists.
Does Allee have friends looking to get even??
Look for...the union label...
Disgusting, barbaric behavior.
It is Positively KENYAN!
This should certainly qualify for one of the Left’s favorite enhancements — a “Hate crime”.
With most anarchists, I will not need to do that. I will beat them fiercely. No need for a firearm. Yes, I am combat contact fighting trained and not timid about using it.
This was brutal.
Still almost total silence in the MSM.
The same MSM that was all concerned about political violence a week ago.
Connect the dots.
From the Iron Rail website: “In 2009, we were invited to be the official bookseller for the Family Violence Prevention Fund’s 5th annual National Conference on Health and Domestic Violence. “

From the National Conference on Health and Domestic Violence website:
The Conference is primarily funded by the Administration for Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services.

Funding for Iron Rail is the federal government.
Alle’s Complexion is not her Protection!
Does the guy who got out there today mocking us about thanking him look like a guy or a party who is the least bit concerned about some election? They have zero intention of going backward.
So, the press are liars. What’s new about that?
This is being ignored but when a bleep faced Randi Rhodes (may she burn for using his name) falls on her face, it’s a Hate Crime.
I prefer a #2 or #4. Great impact power and greater coverage. Works from front door well out into the yard with more than satisfactory results. But that's just me.
Of course, 00 will do the job very well too.

The Iron Rail is organized in a way that puts theory into practice. We believe in a world without domination and oppression and in working to undermine authoritarian structures of power. As an anarchist collective, the Iron Rail has no bosses or managers. Group decisions are made collectively in weekly meetings, and members are encouraged to be creative in initiating individual projects. The bookstore is operated by volunteers who believe in the importance of establishing alternatives to capitalism, while creating new public spaces and supporting community projects

Do you think they have a copy of Rules frr Radicals in their free library?
The more I see you around, the more I like you! :^)

Geez.
"Kill the press
Cut its throat
Spill its blood"
0.5 / sarc -- a half-remembered misquote from some "classic"" book or another. But better leave the physical press-bashing to the lefties who already engage in it...
