Michele Bachmann Latest GOP Candidate to Suffer Glitter Attack - The Note

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.

It's a pretty new thing, isn't it? I've only heard of it happening a few times (Pawlenty, Gingrich, too?).

I don't know what, exactly, it is supposed to protest.

You're only just now hearing of such things? So you've never heard of any of the times it happened to conservatives, such as Ann Coulter, trying to speak on campus or other similar instances?

I thought she had been shouted down before, or something. But I hadn't heard of "glittering" (which I assume is what it sounds like?), no.

Yea they do, consider Anthony Weiner despite his stupidity and obvious transgressions, there were efforts by the right to using a fake name on twitter to develop a relationship with a 16-year-old California high school girl in May and tried to get Mr. Weiner to be her prom date.

See O'Keefe actions on Mary Landreux, Planned Parenthood or ACORN...

Anything Breitbart lies about..

Didn't the Republicans in the last election Robocall potential voters in Va. and tell them that the voting actually scheduled that day was postponed until tommorrow??..

The New Hampshire Republican Phone Jamming Scandal of 2002

Would prefer "glittering" to character assassination.. of some of the other right wing shenanigans..

republicans aren't as overt in their crap

they're not going to make a scene, they're usually just going to be racist and underhanded under the table

Lol Brietbart lies except when he's right and results in sociopathic politicians retiring or corrupt organizations being defunded. Even better- Obama kneejerk fired someone without any careful deliberation or review as he's known for... right?

Please be more specific. When did any of those people get physically assaulted?
