A Republican activist and her boyfriend were savagely beaten in New Orleans, purportedly for wearing Sarah Palin pins.
We’ll see if the major media covers this. 
*crickets*
RELATED: It wouldn’t be the first time something like this has happened.
UPDATE: Michelle Malkin posts a caution and reports that Palin pins weren’t present, per the Louisiana governor’s office. The governor himself, for whom the female victim works, says there is no evidence yet that Left-wing protesters were involved.

To get top billing in the crime section in New Orleans, you need to kill multiple people, or have them die in a particularly photogenic way. The town is uber-violent now, and it was plenty violent before.
Remind me not to take a vacation there.
I never told you the “joke” about making sure to wear your helmet if you visit? Pre-Katrina there were safer spots and unsafe spots (you’d never want to go to Armstrong Park or the Cemeteries after dark), but now the whole thing is a mess. Did you actually look at any of the crime reports?
[...] And the Left says Tea-Partiers are dangerous? [...]
