No big fan of Gingrich here. But, he is a Presidential Candidate. This guy should have been arrested.

For throwing glitter at someone?

I thought right wingers were supposed to be tough? Don't they always pound their chest and talk about how many guns they have?

1. Why is the story titled "Gay Activist Douses Gingrich...". Do we know for a fact that he's gay, or are people just using this incident to bash gays - once again?

2. "The Blaze" website is run by Glenn Beck, so consider the source.

For throwing anything at someone. It's assault.

Maybe if you'd RTFA and click through to the link of the video posted by the perpetrator, then you'd have your answer to your ridiculous outrage.

LOL, I'm sure Obama would've taken well to being doused with glitter.
