Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann today got a very warm reception from her home state at a conference of conservative bloggers in Minneapolis, but a few gay rights protesters still managed to make her the latest victim of the glitter attacks that have already been waged on fellow GOP presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Tim Pawlenty.
Following her speech at the RightOnline conference this morning, Bachmann had some glitter thrown on her as she made her way off stage to greet the audience.

Something needs to be done to stop these idiots.
Poor Michelle.
Where is the security for these people?
Sodomites are very violent, although most people don’t realize it. They need to catch and punish these people before they become as bold as the Act Up sodomites.
A good tazer to the glitter thrower would make for a good example.
????? Curious if glitter=fairy dust?
How great would it be to see Michelle pepper spray these freaks and watch them try to catch their breath. Self defense.
Seems like ABC must be paying these hecklers in order to make them newsworthy?
I HATE OUR NATIONAL MEDIA. If I ever get the chance to meet Dan Rather, I will spit on his shoes. That's a promise.
You can't do that, it would be a hate crime.
But.., why can't they be charged with a hate crime when they attack a normal person? Sure they may not do much physical damage but there is a lot of emotional damage and humiliation. They could be sentenced to one day for physical attack and one year for hate crimes.
Really? Shoot ‘em? Take them to the ground without mercy, okay.
A single handful of glitter tossed from the floor up onto the stage.
Minimal damage and it actually accented the glitter in Michele’s eyes!
Throw lead at the gays.
weeeeeee!
“You can’t do that, it would be a hate crime.”
Well, if you said, “Take THAT, you friggin’ fairy!”, yes. But, if you acted out of fear that he was launching a toxic substance, and you intended to stop him from doing so, than probably not...
So who is yet to be glittered? Sarah Palin? Herman Cain?

I’m sorry to make light of this specific situation but this really is the side splittingly funny mildest form of activism that I’ve heard of. It makes her part of the “Glitterati” along with Mitt and Newt. Do these active activists say “Poof” just as they sprinkle their honorees?
Of course, we’re all aware that there are some truly evil, malevolent and generally humorless people on the enemy side, and that they who lack this cosmically comic sense of humor might one day sprinkle something more toxic and harmful than glitter. Bill Maher is what happens when humor gets out of control; Acid is what happens when glitter isn’t enough.... Let us pray it doesn’t escalate to that and let us enjoy gentle humor and glitter while it lasts.
These fruitcakes are only solidifying suspicions that there is something mentally deficient about them. Don’t eat the fudge with these guys around.... Bob
I noticed that ABC has quite the advert for them on their vid. Sick. They didn’t bother editing the vid.
