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.
so whose is the one drapped on the curb edge?
A throw down, you reckon?

Brutal Attack Of Female GOP Fundraiser Ignored; But “Tea Partiers Are Violent” Mantra Contiunes To Be Played
There seems to be an awful lot of malicious gossip and lying in high government places. I would just ignore anyone spreading the “sassy mouth” story, and hope that they lose their jobs.
One has to be from a big city to believe that a sassy mouth on a woman justifies a beating or in any way complicates the crime.
All women in the South have sassy mouths. Steel Magnolias...what don’t you understand about it?
I can't speak to the broken leg, but my son broke his jaw in two places severely enough that it required surgery. But, the day it happened, it was just a little swollen and red. Of course, several days later, it looked horrific. I'm not sure a picture taken immediately after the assault would show that much trauma, FWIW.
I was wondering what it looks like for someone to have broken bones?
1.Some GOP people get the crap beaten out to them by the left
2. The media/the left ignores the story
3.The story break anyway via the backdoor of the web
4. So the focus of the story get changed via Internet "EBuzz & Gospel" from being on the leftist thug's who did the beating to....
5.The media/the left/Internet "EBuzz & Gospel" now trys to makes the focus of the story a side show about a GOP infight
6.The true focus of the story, leftist thugs who did the beating is still ignored
Can you say Saul Alinsky?
Thanks for the clarification. I guess the bruising takes a couple of minutes to show up unless skin on the surface is broken. But I’d be willing to bet they are both afflicted with purple and yellow swellings even today.
While the leftists are lining us up against the wall for the firing squad the RINO Quislings will be saying its all our fault for vocally opposing them.
There needs to be more exposure of the violent Democrat plots at the 2008 RNC Convention (persons were charged and convicted with offenses ranging from a criminal conspiracy to kidnap RNC delegates to firebombing the convention and blowing up police cars).
“a “freeper” was on the threads last week asking what did they do to deserve it?”
Walking while being Republicans.
Deep bruises don’t show immediately. It takes awhile for the blood to seep to the surface. Same with swelling. Takes a little bit of time. If this were taken immediately after the beating, the worst of the injuries might not have shown up that clearly.

If the fundraiser participants could not get out the front door, the restaurant management should have called 911, and the police should have broken up the crowd and should have made sure the fundraiser participants had safe egress. That is the cops’ duty.
I am assuming the cops were notified and refused to do anything.
N.O. is out of control again, and the politicians of all stripes don’t want that to get out.
Somebody needs to receive high numbers of phone calls, starting with Jindal and the Louisiana GOP.
As early as the late 70s, in response to feminist actions, courts began setting aside any consideration of the way a woman dresses or whether she is sexually experienced as a "she asked for it" legal tool for the defense of rapists.
Best argument I’ve ever seen for exercising your CCW. Hint: if you see me at a TP, rally, etc. on a hot day and I’m wearing a jacket, that should tell you something.
“While the leftists are lining us up against the wall for the firing squad the RINO Quislings will be saying its all our fault for vocally opposing them....”
BINGO!!They, in the end, realize that power accrues to them as well...
The people of the “Iron Rail” ‘library’ seem to have something to do with this.
Ugh. possibly the most shocking scene of all time!
