2012 Romney Gets Glitter-Bombed and Santorum-Bombed In One Night

Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 9:10 PM

Here's video of the attempted glitter-bombing after Romney's speech tonight. He looks pissed:

Meanwhile, with 43% of the vote in, Santorum leads in Colorado, with 42.2% to Romney's 28.4%. We're getting dangerously close to a Santorum hat-trick, which will cause some serious damage to Mitt Romney's campaign.

Nothing could possibly make it clearer than the course of this race that no one likes any of these horrible men.

All I need is to watch :05 to :08 on repeat until I die laughing.

You folks know that every time you glitterbomb one of these fuckers, Obama loses a million votes, right?

Check out Romney's vote totals in 2008 vs today. Run your mouse over the county to get 2008's info.

Terrible:

The glitter bombs are scary to me. How long before it turns into something else.

@ Concur with SROTU on this one. Romney has a right to be pissed, and the glitter bombing dipshit shouldn't be surprised if the Secret Service detail gives him a broken jaw to think about. If I were running for President, I wouldn't want some whack job trying to muscle in and jab his fist at me (see, e.g., Kennedy, Robert and Wallace, George).

looks more like the glitter bombed.

I have to say it felt good to see one of those glitterbombing fools get steamrolled by the Secret Service.

Romney.

Really, so what happens to the bombers? Do they get a one-night lockup or just a ticket?

Posted by pioneer on February 8, 2012 at 3:22 AM

Whack jobs come with the territory. Glitter is nothing. Really, it's pointless. Remember Dan was glitter bombed and what did it do? Nothing except a forgotten discussion of how pointless it was.

@pioneer
Or do they get a five year prison sentence for assaulting a presidential candidate?

Frothy not has four wins, but they are all in caucus states. He hasn't get shown he can win an election. It is likely that caucuses draw the really radical segment of the Republican party.

FYI I was curious about what the charge for throwing stuff at a political candidate would be so I put a call in to the Press Office of the Secret Service to ask this question. I am a little worried if I am going to get a visit from the Secret Service now.
