Both had been beaten so bad that they had broken bones. Allee had a broken leg and Joe had a broken jaw.

| Report: Attack on Jindal Aide and Boyfriend Politically Motivated |
| 2010-04-15 |
| 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. |

| #13 My daughter (the two-hitch Marine) explained to me this evening how someone could get a leg broken in a beat-up. It involves the assailant stomping heavily on the leg of a victim already down. This presents to the imagination a very, very ugly picture. |

| #12 This is a truly heinous crime of political intimidation by Democrats and other Leftists. This nice young couple was just working hard for a Governor and the ideas that they believe in, and the Democrats and other Leftists beat them so severely that their surgeons estimate a three month recovery. Take a good look at those pictures and ask yourself: Can you ever again see any Democrat or other Leftist public figure that has not owned that their own broke Allee and JoeÂ’s bones, condemned the attackers and their cohorts, and apologized without also seeing these pictures in your mind and thinking that they are just a little complicit? I never will! |

| #11 The political intimidation motive of the savages that viciously beat Allee Bautsch, Governor Jindal's Financial Director, and her friend Joe Brown has been confirmed in an interview of an NOPD information officer relaying information from one of the case's detectives: Breaking: Exclusive New Orleans Beat-Down Update Via My Interview With The NOPD - “It Was Of A Political Nature” http://bit.ly/d4pm5J Obviously those with a political motive to commit this heinous assault on this nice young couple that was just working hard for their Republican Governor and the ideas that they believe in at SRLC could only be Democrats and other Leftists. |

| #8 They're waiting for the police investigation, which is what they're supposed to do. |

| #7 The most curious thing to me is how little Jindal or the Republicans have been willing to say - almost like they are trying to hide something, though I can't conceive what that might be. |

| #6 The physical description of the attackers sounds more like anarchist than Dem union thug. |

| #5 Brown shirts (or SEIU purple shirts) on the march? The Hayride story is posted on Gov. Bobby Jindal's facebook site. Can't imagine why anyone would want the taint of calling themselves a democrat. Thuggery! |

| #2 Michelle Malkin says there were no Sarah Palin pins, according to Governor Jindal's office. The Hayride blog has a serious round-up on the story with photos and videos (the videos have since been pulled by the anarchist who posted them on his YouTube page), with a number of updates. He agrees that there was no pin, but that Bautsch and Brown were targetted because they came from Brennan's. |

| #1 So, we are in 1919 again? Sounds mysteriously like SEIU. No matter. Democrats are all dead in mine eyes. They are zombies. The DA better find these attackers and prosecute them fully. It is in follow-up for now, but it shall be perused. Pray for this couple. There is no reason for this. Democrats disgust me. Ignorance and trash. |
