HATE CRIME? GOP official and boyfriend savagely beaten for wearing Palin pins.

The media will be all over this ... won’t they?

[ADDED] The incident occurred on April 12th; I’ve held off on posting it for a week to wait for confirming details. As of today, only the “wearing Palin pins” part hasn’t been confirmed. The Hayride has been following the story closely; their latest update is here.

The young woman involved, Ailee Bautsch, a campaign aide for Louisana Gov. Bobby Jindal, now “ has seven screws in her leg and five surgical scars. She didn’t just fall down, she was stomped on.”
