Reporters snapped the aftermath of the glitter attack on T-Paw

First Newt Gingrich, now T-Paw: the glitter rainbow is everywhere.

Our former governor and current GOP presidential contender was signing books in San Francisco today at a conference on health care. That's when a pair of women from feminist protest group Code Pink accosted T-Paw and attempted to dump pink glitter and confetti on him.

"Tim Pawlenty, where is your courage to stand?" the protesters said. "Stand for reproductive rights! Stand for gay rights!'"

Pawlenty is the second GOP presidential candidate to feel the glitter love. Last month in Minnesota, local left-wing protester Robert Erickson dumped glitter on Newt Gingrich, urging him to "Feel the rainbow!" and "Stop the hate!"

In this glitter dump, Pawlenty apparently did not get as much glitter on him, according to Politico, and the protesters were quickly whisked away.

Actually, Pawlenty wants to dismantles women's consitutional rights to make their own healthcare decisions. He prefers 2nd class citizenship for women. I'd say that's trippin balls.

This was an "Anti-War" group that formed during the Bush years.Now that the president they favored is in office, they changed their core principles. (fakes)I'm sure they will change their primary focus back to "anti-war" after 2012.As for now, they're nothing but democrat rebels without a cause.

WITHOUT A CAUSE!!??!~ The house voted to defund PlannedParenthood the day the voted to fund contraceptives for WILD HORSES. HR 3 taxes every insurance plan that covers abortion. Another bill defunds schools that teach dr.s how to perform abortions. Another requires all minors to go to a judge before getting an abortion, even if she is a victim of incest. Another would have the IRS audit rape survivors who got abortions with their Health Savings Account. Another bill defunds Planned Parenthood, who serve millions each year. Investing in family planning is investing in national security and general welfare. Make no mistake, there is a very real cause. Pawlenty is worthless as a leader.

You are right. The President is in violation of the war power act in Libya. Obama, against the advice of his senior legal advisors and the justice department ignores the congress in his illegal war. Where are the outrage from these groups, Senator Klobuchar and Franken?

Rightus

CodePink has demonstrated numerous times against the war. They've also demonstrated in support of Bradley Manning, the soldier behind WikiLeaks. They regularly continue to protest marine recruiting offices & march against war. Bush's old pals in the House are engaging in a very real war on women. CodePink is again stepping it up to say NO. Stop trying to slander a group you clearly know nada about!

Who looks more crazy in this video a man signing books or a lady shouting about womans reproductive rights being taken away by cops while throwing glitter. She makes all gay rights supporters look crazy.
