Michele Bachmann Hit With Glitter Attack, Organized Plot Exposed.

Is glitter the new weapon-of-choice for the Left?  Based on the (lack of) police response to these sparkling assaults, one can assume that ‘glitterings’ will probably continue to occur and with greater frequency.

Michele Bachmann Hit With Glitter Attack, Organized Plot Exposed.

Four weeks ago Newt Gingrich was covered in glitter at a book signing… Last week Tim Pawlenty was targeted for ‘glittering’ by a gay rights activist in San Francisco.  Today, in her home state of Minnesota, after speaking to a crowd of enthusiastic supporters at the RightOnline conference, presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was the latest conservative to be ‘glittered’ by a protester.

The attackers see nothing wrong with their actions. But one wonders what the reaction would be if someone doused First Lady Michelle Obama with glitter or decided to deliver a ‘rainbow of pride’ to Nancy Pelosi? It is safe to assume that the perpetrator would probably be hit with a Taser, wrestled to the ground, cuffed, and then hauled off to jail.

The three recent strikes against conservatives have yielded not a single arrest. Instead, the attackers usually end up on television, or in the newspaper.

The liberal organization GetEQUAL is promoting these attacks on any politician who disagrees with their position on gay marriage. In addition, they are offering to train anyone who might be interested in learning how to attack a politician.

From GetEQUAL’s web page;

GetEQUAL is supporting anyone who wants to join the “Glitterati” — who wants to let anti-LGBT politicians know that their hate is not welcome in political debates, whether it’s for President of the United States or President of the School Board.

Sign up below to volunteer for the “Glitterati” — we’ll connect you with folks who can coach you through the process of planning a glitter action wherever you live.

Will you join the Glitterati?

No.

    These militant homosexual terrorists have also adopted the following tactics that must be stopped:
    1) Eliminating free speech by harassing and attempting to silence anyone who disagrees with them;
    2) Preying on children by indoctrinating and recruiting them into their lifestyle;
    3) Imposing their beliefs on others through activist judges and lawmakers requiring that everyone actively promote homosexuality in every institution (schools, workplace, churches, etc.);
    4) Destroying marriage and undermining the traditional family in order to annihilate any moral standard of behavior;
    5) Intolerance toward anyone who does not willingly submit to their agenda;
    fighting for a discriminatory and unconstitutional double standard of justice by demanding that crimes against homosexuals be punished more severely than the same crimes against heterosexuals through ‘hate crimes’ legislation,
    6) And deceptively portraying homosexuality as a harmless and victimless behavior.

    One of the demands of homosexuals is protected class status as a ‘minority.’ Although they want special protection and special rights, being homosexual isn’t the same as being an ethnic minority. We choose our sexual behaviors, not our skin color. To equate gays with any true ethnic group is a travesty of logic. Homosexuality can only be equated and compared with other sexual behaviors or fantasies, legal and illegal, like heterosexuality, sadomasochism, bestiality, necrophilia, rape and pedophilia. Ban Sam

    “Openness-and the relativism that makes it the only plausible stance in the face of various claims to truth and various ways of life and kinds of human beings-is the great insight of our times. The true believer is the real danger. The study of history and of culture teaches that all the world was mad in the past; men always thought they were right, and that led to wars, persecutions, slavery, xenophobia, racism and chauvinism. The point is not to correct the mistakes and really be right; rather it is not to think you are right at all.

Dont say it cant happen, we hear/see stories all the time of the extreme version of this where the victims end up disfigured after an attack. It will get to that point b/c there have now been what 4 of these attacks. How many more until someone gets hurt by a copycat using a dangerous substance? Maybe its time potential presidential candidates get some unexpected security from copycats of the patriot riders or something.

Indeed if this had been a member of the left it happened to, there would be charges of assault, tresspass and maybe even attempted murder and such…not to mention the media hype would be rebounding across the land for blame on the conservative, hostile Christians and violent Tea Party extremists, i.e. the usual vitreolic lies.

      Well, I believe that any police officer that is involved in these attacks against Presidential Candidates and do not arrest the attackers should be fired and also arrested for aiding and abetting attacks on the candidates! The Police Chiefs in these cities as well should be fired and arrested since these officers do what they are told to do and the leaders are accountable for the people working for them. In fact, I believe that all of them should be arrested for terrorist attacks on Presidential Candidates and tried and convicted as terrorists since they ARE committing terrorist acts. This group “GetEQUAL” should be held accountable for supporting, aiding and training terrorists to do terrorist acts. It doesn‘t matter if it’s glitter or anything else because it could just as easily be something deadly that they attack with and if they get to believing that the cops will not do anything at all to them, that will empower them to use deadly force soon and then the cops should also be held accountable for the terroristic acts!

That is what they do best. The rest of the left would chalk any form of retaliation up as a win because of the stoop down to their level. Why ‘attack’ Dems? Any form of counter physical ‘attack’ should be avoided. Choose a course of honor instead. Why not deflate childishness with pro-conservative action? Look, the whole point is to gain the media eyes and ears with a burst of flare at the appointed time and spot. Not a bad scheme. So… why not have a whole slew of tea party folks ready to spring into action with glitter, streamers, confetti, signs and/or whatever. Each one eager to take a stand before the media with points favorable for the candidate. Smother these anti-upstarts in pro-candidate messaging.

      A couple of years ago a big win woke up a sleeping giant. Now, why not let a little glitter stand up waves of better founded passions and voices? Sometimes, it takes many of honor to defeat one, or a few, with narrow intent and disruptive style. Such is the American backbone and spirit.

      Rogue – I admire you for wanting to do things peacefully, I too feel the same way, but that time is coming to an end. The people we are up against want chaos and will bring it whether we stand by peacefully or not. I’m always peaceful until my Constitution is threatened, my country is threatened, my freedom threatened, or my honor is threatened. So you can see, I don’t have much to be peaceful for right now.

      Second…all this “peace, love and tolerance” BS means nothing. Hey lady thereis no such thing as equal rights. That is Marxist to the core. Stop confusing equal rights with equal freedom… they are completely different things. Equal rights means one group is FORCED to have more rights than others.

      If I was speaking at an event, I would just toss glitter on myself at the beginning of the speech. Doing this would really take the “shine” off of the people who had planned to toss glitter. I’d just sprinkle a handful of the stuff over my head at the beginning of the speech, then tell the would-be “glitter-ers” that they might as well go home because their job had already been done.

      But – most of you are correct in wondering where is the security when this happens. What if the glitter was actually a harmful substance?

      And – “Gay Rights”? Are gays being denied the same rights as all other Americans? ABSOLUTELY NOT! They just want “special” laws pertaining only to them. Should we also pass special laws for other groups of people? Perhaps alcoholics should be allowed to drive drunk, and pedophiles should be allowed to molest children, just because that’s “how God made them”?

      If ya’ wanna play dingle-dangle with the personal equipment of your own gender, then that’s your choice, but you don’t get special rights granted to you because of that choice.

This was a false statement and the media ran with it for weeks, as did Nan.

      Theses morons don’t realize that in the end they will pay. Like the airport security has now reached extreme measures trying to keep us safe, this action will have the same consequence. THEY will have to pay for extra security because of their stupidity.

The people doing this have not been taught to respect themselves or others, and i think there parents should be held accountable for poorly raising their children. Plus the POLICE should be arresting these people. No questions asked. And No, no one on the conservative mind set will do this to the liberals. it is wrong and besides that they got no back bone. That is why we are where we are in the country!

      Thank goodness it was just glitter and not a gun she had. How was she able to get so close to Bachmann? There needs to be more security surrounding our officials. The left know no bounds apparently, and our representatives need to be more protected. I know this isn’t the issue for debate, but I think this video highlights a greater concern.

      I don’t agree with throwing anything at somebody. It’s an action of hostility borne out of anger and hatred. They’re trying to mask that by using glitter (inoffensive and almost playful, right?) but it’s the same thing as throwing a stone, and it comes from the same place within the individual.

      These people are making gays look terrible. I don‘t see how they’re helping their cause at all.

      It’s all fun and games until some nut decides that acid is better than glitter.
      Went to their website. The girl that did it doesn’t consider it assault and then talked about Matthew Shepard. Yeah, because homosexuals have NEVER assaulted straights before. Right.

      I could hardly blame you.

      What this activist did spraying glitter at Bachmann was lawless.

      I’m sure your usage of the might caps lock key will deter all opposition.
