"Shortly after the former senator from Pennsylvania began addressing a receptive crowd, a group of young protesters in the front row began chanting slogans such as “go away” and “right-wing bigot,” a reference to Mr. Santorum’s opposition to gay marriage, one of them said afterward. The surging GOP-candidate then spent the next hour battling the vocal minority."

“What they represent is true intolerance,” Mr. Santorum said. “I don’t think they’re a bigot because they disagree with me.”

"...before it was over, at least two of them were dragged away by law enforcement officials. After Mr. Santorum finished speaking, another covered him in a blizzard of glitter, known as a “glitter bomb.”

I agree with Santorum. These immature, disrespectful protesters are the real "intolerant" ones and something should be done to put an end to all of these physical attacks involving ground up pieces of glass thrown at candidates.

LoL, wow. I guess the new definition of "bigotry" is now disagreement. Talk about needing to sit down with a dictionary.

Can you define intolerant in order to take a shot at Santorum? Unless I just don't know what that word means I have to agree with him, this time.

Homofascists who insist on violently attacking people to get their way should be classified as domestic terrorists. They're no better than the crazy anti-abortionists who shoot at doctors.

I wonder if these gay activists realize they are actually turning off fair minded people by their behavior. This is playing right into Santorum's hands.

"glitter" and "attack" seems impossible to put together.

That wasn't glitter, it was fairy dust. It was their way of giving Santorum their blessing.
