Photo Shows Horrified GOP Official After Savage Beating in New Orleans

Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, April 19, 2010, 8:02 PM

On Friday April 9, 2010, GOP official Allee Bautsch and her boyfriend Joe Brown attended a Republican dinner at Brennan’s restaurant in New Orleans. When they left this event the young Republicans were followed from the restaurant by a group of five white men who hurled insults at them calling Allee a “little blond bitch” and calling Joe a “f**king f*ggot.” They savagely beat and stomped on the young Republican couple just blocks from the restaurant.

This photo shows the look of horror on Allee’s face after she was stomped on by the thugs.

Via The Hayride:

Allee Bautsch suffered a broken leg from the beatdown outside to the SRLC dinner at Brennan’s Restaurant in New Orleans. She had her leg operated on over the weekend and it will take her months to recover. Her boyfriend Joe Brown suffered a broken nose, a broken jaw, and a concussion. They were attacked after leaving the Southern Republican Leadership Conference dinner at Brennan’s Restaurant.

Today Gov. Bobby Jindal told reporters he wasn’t going to comment further on the investigation that left his chief fundraiser and her boyfriend injured. If Jindal wanted to improve his national profile he would hold a press conference and ask the public for their assistance to help solve this crime. But, so far he has remained mostly silent after his chief fundraiser was brutally beaten in the streets. He should rethink this.

The Bayou Buzz also wonders where all of the civil rights groups are after this obvious political attack on two young conservatives.


[ Where are the liberal voices criticizing this new example of political violence from the left. The fact is they approve ... just as they approved of Bill Ayers. ]

Sadly, Governor Jindal has been quiet about this attack, possibly worried about the fallout from more negative publicity about the crime rate in New Orleans. Despite his concerns, the Governor needs to speak out on this issue and emphasize that the crime should be solved and that the attackers should be immediately brought to justice.

With two young conservatives beaten because of their political beliefs, it seems clear that a hate crime occurred. Not surprisingly, there has been no word from civil rights leaders who are always so worried about hate crimes and no investigation from the city’s Human Rights Commission. In fact, this crime is so vicious and is apparently so political in nature that the Justice Department should be contacted.

[ The Obama InJustice Department APPROVES of this kind of thing. ]

Where are all of the groups like the ACLU that constantly proclaim discrimination against minorities? In New Orleans, conservatives are a pretty distinct minority, but, sadly, it seems this is the only group that is not protected.

The Hayride has much more information on the events that night.

Allee Bautsch’s mother told reporters on Saturday that her daughter was beaten by leftist Jindal protesters.

Allee Bautsch’s Mother Speaks Out – Says Daughter Was Attacked by Leftist Political Protesters

On Saturday, Allee Bautsch’s mother spoke out about the vicious attack. She joined Allee’s friend and said the attackers were leftist protesters.

Yahoo reported:

Allee Bautsch’s mother, Della Berning, has now joined a friend of Bautsch’s in telling Yahoo! News that, contrary to what Brown initially told police, Bautsch and Brown do believe that the attackers were a group of political protesters who followed them after they left the event. Their recollection is not conclusive, of course, and they admit to having no knowledge of the attackers’ underlying motivations.

According to Berning, Bautsch and Brown are recovering from their injuries and the trauma of the attack, and so are not speaking directly to the media. However, the couple authorized her to come forward with their account of the attack. Berning told Yahoo! News that she reconfirmed with her daughter each detail of the account she offered via email and phone.

New Orleans, Louisiana police initially dismissed the savage attack on GOP official Allee Bautsch and her boyfriend Joe Brown in the French Quarter. They reported it as a medical call and did not even interview the couple about the brutal beating until Monday.
NOLA.com reported:

When news of last weekend’s assault of Republican campaign fundraiser Allee Bautsch and her boyfriend broke on Monday, police logs detailing crimes and complaints reported in the French Quarter that night did not list the attack on the pair.

That’s because the April 9 incident was first labeled a medical call, which meant no police report needed to be written. Indeed, according to the initial report released Friday by New Orleans police, it wasn’t until Monday that a detective was assigned to investigate the incident — in which Bautsch broke her leg and her boyfriend, Joseph Brown, broke his jaw.

[ Huh, she didn't break her leg and her boyfriend didn't break his jaw. Their bones were broken by the white leftist brownshirt thugs who attacked them. ]

Monday was also the day news reports and blogs began chattering about the attack, sometimes laden with the juicy possibility the attackers were anti-Republican protesters.

The initial incident report does not resolve the question of whether Bautsch and Brown were attacked by protesters, who had picketed the restaurant they were in earlier that night.

But the sequence of the NOPD’s response to an attack that left Bautsch with a broken leg and Brown with a fractured jaw and nose, raises questions about why the department didn’t deal with the incident as an assault from the get-go. Subsequent police statements and reports about the incident note that officers did respond to the scene, calling an ambulance to take Bautsch and Brown to the hospital.

NOPD spokesman Bob Young said the explanation is simple: The responding officer didn’t know the extent of the couple’s injuries. That officer knew the couple needed help and was told that Brown had been in a fight, but concentrated on getting them medical assistance, he said.

If the officer had known how badly they were hurt, the case would have been reclassified immediately as some kind of battery, Young said.

The Hayride added this on the politically motivated attack on the young Republican couple leaving a GOP dinner.

Most conservative websites and blogs are avoiding this topic like the plague. Why? Because they are afraid. Liberals scream “racism” without the slightest shred of evidence and the mainstream media scream with them, but conservatives are afraid to speak the truth even when faced with clear and convincing evidence. They are cowards.

This is not a court of law and the Iron Rail Gang isn’t on trial (yet), but the conservative media have acted as though Iron Rail must be convicted beyond a reasonable doubt before they can say a word on the topic. It’s no coincidence that the only major conservative media outlet to have accurately covered the story belongs to Andrew Breitbart, because he actually has some guts. The rest of the conservative media still seem to be afraid that the MSM is going to say something bad about them.

One more thing… The anarchists and leftists outside the SLRC event that night had posted an ominous warning on their website before the GOP officials were attacked.

The Hayride reported:

…There was also an eight-page brochure the group put together that did not appear on the Facebook event page for the protest (since removed – there were 209 people who had RSVP’ed for the event and from that roster we found Mauch and Dubinsky), and that brochure was much more ominous. It listed several “Points of Unity,” among them being:

- The SRLC is not welcome in NOLA without a fuss

- Recognize healthcare as a basic human right
- Oppose police oppression, the prison-industrial complex, and the dominant culture of militarism
- Recognize the need for active resistance to confront all forms of oppression, respecting a diversity of tactics

The brochure also contained a map of the five hotels at which SRLC delegates were primarily staying, which is extremely disturbing.

Is a Horrific, Politically Motivated Beating Newsworthy?
Depends on whose bones were broken. (Also read Roger Kimball: "Haters on the march in Arizona — newsworthy?")


April 27, 2010 - by Will Collier The following is, of course, satire — though the author continues to wait for the AP, Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Anderson Cooper, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and the rest of the MSM and political class to give the New Orleans beating the coverage it deserves.

————————————-

(AP) BOSTON – Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick’s chief campaign fundraiser is recovering from injuries she suffered in a Friday night altercation with a group of people in Boston’s Back Bay, the governor’s office said Monday.

Bautsch Allee 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 Bouchee restaurant on behalf of the Massachusetts Democratic Party on Friday evening.

Patrick was at the fundraising event at the restaurant, but was not present when the incident occurred.

Pyle Klotkin, a Patrick spokesman, said Allee had surgery during the weekend and is facing a recovery time of two to three months.

The Democratic fundraiser coincided with a rally for the so-called “tea party” movement in the Boston Commons. The rally was led by former Alaska Governor and unsuccessful vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

According to police and governor’s office sources, Allee and her boyfriend were accosted by individuals who may have been among a group of conservative activists protesting outside Bouchee during the fundraiser. Sources described the assailants as “middle-class white people” wearing “chinos and polo shirts.”

Response to the horrific outbreak of political violence was swift. The White House released a statement from President Barack Obama, a close friend and political ally of Gov. Patrick, stating:

As president, I condemn this outrageous attack in the strongest possible terms. While political dissent has a storied place in our nation’s history, outright violence against political opponents has no place in our society. I call on the leaders of the Republican Party to denounce this terrible attack, and I am ordering Attorney General Holder to place the full powers of the federal government at Governor Patrick’s disposal. We must and we will find the criminals responsible for this atrocity, and we must all work to silence the voices that oppose our nation’s transformation into a new and better place.

Attorney General Eric Holder, also responded swiftly, ordering the FBI to assist in the investigation. Holder also activated lawyers in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division to initiate an investigation into possible violations of civil rights laws.

Members of Congress also voiced their condemnation of the attack. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi released a statement calling the attack “the predictable result of these so-called ‘tea parties’ and the anti-government rhetoric they spout.”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid spoke briefly to reporters, saying, “I hope every American is made aware of this terrible attack, and learns just how far the right wing is willing to go to meet its political ends.”

Media condemnation of the assaults was also swift. All three broadcast networks broke into prime-time programming with coverage of the attacks, and the cable news networks have carried wall-to-wall reporting and analysis since the news first broke.

CNN on-air personality Anderson Cooper defended the 24/7 coverage by noting:

We’re a news organization, and when the aide of a prominent governor is beaten nearly to death within a few yards of an opposing political group’s protest … well, if that’s not news, I don’t know what is.

MSNBC hosts Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow were more direct. “This may be the greatest outrage in American history,” Olbermann said on his Countdown program. “The president would be completely within his rights to order a severe FBI crackdown on these ‘teabaggers.’” Maddow called for the immediate arrest of Palin on suspicion of fomenting treason and a second civil war.

Author’s note: The preceding story is, of course, fictional — with a few exceptions:

The first four paragraphs are copied from a news story in the New Orleans Times-Picayune from April 12, 2010, with a few changes. The location of a vicious assault on Governor Bobby Jindal’s aide Allee Bautch and her boyfriend, Joe Brown, was changed from New Orleans to Boston, and Bautch’s name was reversed. I apologize in advance to the owners, employees and patrons of Boston’s Bouchee restaurant for using Bauchee as a stand-in for Brennan’s Restaurant in New Orleans; certainly Bouchee holds no more responsibility for the fictional attack than Brennan’s does for the real one. I also apologize to Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin for re-spelling his name in the fictionalized story.

The actual violence is from the left, and is ignored:

- the guy who flew his plane into the Texas IRS building? A lefty.
- the woman who gunned down her University of Alabama co-workers? A rabid Obama supporter.
- the guy who shot up the Pentagon? A lefty.
- the guys who beat up the black tea party guy selling Tea Party stuff? Lefty thugs.
- Obama mentor and friend Bill Ayers blows up the Pentagon, is honored with lofty position.
- Obama calls for his followers to bring guns to knife fights and to “get in their faces?” Merely campaign rhetoric.

Lefties are not nice, regardless how they view themselves.

It’s only newsworthy when the victim is a liberal…otherwise, there’s nothing to see here, move along…

Seriously though, this assault will become more and more common as the new leftwing inspired Brown Shirts (or purple) begin to assault those that are important to conservative causes. Nor will this new wave of politically inspired attacks be reported in the liberal media. Just keep that in mind and start to exercise your right to defend yourself.
......

I’m still waiting for the self-righteous, hate-denouncing media coverage of the arson/attempted murder at Sarah Palin’s church, the threats of gang-rape against her daughters, the current tweets threatening to kill her family, and the scum who carry signs and t-shirts emblazoned with “c**t”, “igloo whore”, “spay the bitch”, and “MILP: Mom I’d Like to Punch” replete with artwork of her getting her teeth knocked out.

Projection. No one does it better than the left.
