Marcus Bachmann’s Clinic Is the Latest Target to Be ‘Glitter Bombed’
NY Magazine ^ | 7/21/11 | Noreen Malone

Posted on 07/21/2011 1:23:02 PM PDT by markomalley

A group of activists — angry that Dr. Bachmann referred to gay people as "barbarians" — styled themselves in the manner of (rather delightfully campy) barbarians, then proceeded to sprinkle shiny confetti all over his clinic. Previous glitter-bomb "victims" include Newt Gingrich and Tim Pawlenty. This might not be the stateliest form of civil rights protest in recorded history, but it's probably the shiniest and most difficult to vacuum up. [Gawker]

Sorry for the liberal, limp-wristed tone of the article, but I couldn't find this in any more professional outlet. I'm sure something will be written in a couple of hours that would be more appropriate.

“A group of activists — angry that Dr. Bachmann referred to gay people as “barbarians” OK how about “faggots” or “Fudge Packers” or “Sodomites” or what about “Queer”?

You know what would look good with the glitter? How about a nice pink mist.

I believe Bachmann was glittered last month as well.

Oh, and here’s a different article I found: http://minnesotaindependent.com/84976/bachmanns-clinic-gets-glittered-over-ex-gay-therapy-charges/

From the comments:

...for most of the people working in that office this will be their first close encounter with a happy, unconflicted gay with a sense of humor...

Well, if they were happy, they wouldn't need to do this. And if they are unconflicted, then what's to worry about? And if they have a sense of humor, why isn't this funny for those who get to try to clean this up?

No, admit it folks, this is aggression hiding behind "gaiety."

I can think of a number of appropriate terms, but I might run afoul of the Admin Moderator for posting them...

Civil rights protests were rightfully against government sanctioned violations of natural rights.

These on the other hand are attacks against the civil rights (free speech) of other citizens.

These a violations of, not protests for, civil rights.

"Gay" is just one of many words the libs have stolen from the English language.

Some conservatives should start protesting the glitter-bombers over their reckless disregard of the environment, what with their non-biodegradable littering. Then who will the lefties support, the gays or the eco-nuts?

I knew a girl named, Gay, when I was a kid. I’ve often wondered whether she changed it.
