You should definitely keep trying to defend this inane thread. You're doing a far better job of making yourself look foolish than any of us that disagree with you ever could.

This is just an excuse for a bunch of rightwingers to get their pants in a trist about liberals.
i personally dont care who gets hit with a glitter bomb, or worse, as long as the offender ends up in court on assault charges. if someone can get to romney, pelosi, obama, or any other elected official with a glitter bomb, what else can they get close to them with?

i may not like the politics of pelosi, reid, and obama and other democrats, but i dont want the subjected to an assault either. same with conservatives.

To describe his actions as "gay" is pretty bigoted.

But hey, consider the source.

It has to do, with the actions of someone being stupid and ingorant.
Beginning to sound as if some are jealous of those who are privledged, but worked for it, and did not get it handed to them, by gov handouts and freebies.
How hard do you have to "work" for something when your daddy is rich, you go to the best private schools and daddy's political and social connections get you into Harvard University, where you parlay the relationships you develop there into a career in investment banking?

Now there are plenty of American that are very successful and work they asses off to get there. I'm sorry but Mitt Romney isn't one of them. He simply rode the gravy train his daddy put him on.

How hard do you have to work when you live with your rich banker grandparents, and they pull strings to get you into the best schools and colleges?

Ask our current President.

This liberal absolutely thinks that if people like Mitt Romney are being glitterbombed, that Obama deserves to have the same done to him.

And I'm wondering what is the point of glitter-bombing EITHER of them?

What are you smoking to end up with that thinking? This is really NOT a political issue.

You would not want Romney, Obama, their families to even begin to get close to anything whether it is a crotch missile, blood bag, glitter or a real bomb. This is serious stuff and I hope they slammed the offender to the ground and jail them for a few months at least.

Because it's funny watching them get worked up about something that 5 year olds do to each other all day?

Nonviolent displays of disapproval. I don't think it's particularly mature, but hey, neither is advocating against GBLTQ rights. Don't forget that Dan Savage, a prominent liberal and gay figure, has been glitterbombed several times for his transphobic comments. It is not something I would choose to do, but I absolutely understand why people do it.

Mitt Romney Glitter Bomb: Peter Smith Pleads Guilty To Disturbing The Peace For Glitter Bombing After Colo. Caucus (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
Shouldn't waste glitter on that whatever he is. Is he even human? He has the aura of a toy robot whose battery is almost empty
