AND NOW FOR THE OTHER SIDE – AT 8:58 A.M. ET:  Now we've all heard about how racist, violent, bigoted, fascistic, stupid and destructive the tea partiers are.  Why, neighborhood after neighborhood is being ravaged.  You do notice that, don't you?  Haven't you seen your streets torn up?  Make the left happy:  Imagine it!

But how many have heard about the other side, the often terrifying, and real behavior of "progressives" when they take to the streets?  Gateway Pundit has an ugly story, which, of course, is largely suppressed by the in-the-tank media:

GOP Official & Boyfriend Savagely Beaten In Politically Motivated Attack – Including Broken Leg, Jaw, Concussion… Media Silent …UPDATES & Police Report:

The governor’s office said Monday that Allee Bautsch suffered a broken leg and her boyfriend suffered a concussion and fractured nose and jaw in the alleged incident. (KSLA)

A Republican activist and her boyfriend were savagely beaten in New Orleans on Friday for wearing Sarah Palin pins.

Free Republic reported:

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

Governor Jindal's office is being careful not to make direct accusations, saying the matter is under investigation.  But a series of eyewitness reports leaves no serious doubt that the couple was targeted for political reasons. 

Anyone interested?  New York Times?  MSNBC?
