Feel The Rainbow: Gingrich Glitter Confetti at Anti-Gay Rally in Minneapolis

Robert Erickson + Gingrich Glitter! Press Release:
At a book signing in Minneapolis, recently declared the hippest and gayest city in America, I greeted 2012 GOP presidential contender and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with a shower of rainbow glitter.

"Feel the Rainbow!" I shouted. Gingrich was conducting the book signing as part of The Minnesota Family Council & Institute Annual Dinner 2011 celebration. The MFC has been an instrumental mover of a marriage inequality amendment that would enshrine discrimination in Minnesota's state constitution.

more than the message & issues in it, does anyone have an opinion on the editing style of the clip?? thx

[SkyFoxCode]

Newt is a joke, so is every other person who makes/keeps legislation in place to discriminate. This was worth it.

[wlperie]

Poor Newt. I began feeling bad for him earlier—then I remembered how bad his wife with cancer probably felt when he revealed he was leaving her for another woman.

[AliroSilver]

Hm, I'm not sure how to feel about this. On the one hand, that was hilarious. On the other, that's a pretty stupid way to protest/prove a point. Is that the point?

[hxtrjeff]

@oneirishpoet so he is the biggest asshole? what makes you say that. Give me an example.. show me a youtube video that makes him out to be such an asshole. Then I will start showing you video of Nancy Pelosi and we will see who wins that battle. Add me to Facebook lets have this discussion. hxtr at yahoo dot com

@hxtrjeff Dear Jeff- right wing douchebag sez WTF? are you high, or just plain stupid? 'Ol Newty Newt is one of the biggest assholes to leave his personal shit stain on American politics, as a Congressman he proved himself to be the biggest asshole in a history of asshole Speakers of the House...since he was run outta office for being a hypocritical Repiglicking dick (and ironically has sucked on the govt tit for his ENTIRE adult life!) Newt has whored himself out and divorced another wife! also

[hxtrjeff]

@oneirishpoet so you hate gays, republicans, and haterz. Can you tell me what you dont hate. I let a few days go by to let yo cool down. Let me know what you disagree with in anything Newt has done or said. Let learn from one another.

"So goes you, goes the writing of our country. Have you ever seen us attend one of your events? Have we disturbed your events? Never. Peace be with you god bless you." O.o someones a bit creepy. And, um, yes, I do believe that Republicans attend pro-equality rallies to crash them. So goes me, the guy who WATCHES THE NEWS OCCASIONALLY. NEWT. >.<

[DigestivePolitics]

I think Gingrich has gay problem like the most people do; GAY PRIESTS. Those priests that molested kids on church, have done it mostly to boys only. It is not that gay is bad, it is NOT that gays are pedophiles, it is most of those pedophile priests are gays. Nobody likes that, not even gays.

ooooooooooh glitter. that'l teach him

[chupahombrrre]

I wonder how his daughter, a lesbian, feels about having such an hate-mongering ignoramus for a father.

[psiewert83]

Doesn't matter if Newt is a joke, or an ass, or hates gays, or is mean, or fat, or ugly or whatever you want to throw at him. JUST DON"T FUCKING VOTE FOR HIM YOU IDIOTS!!! HOW FUCKING HARD IS THAT? Why do people have to protest someone when that energy could be focused on something far more significant like curing a disease or maybe becoming less queer like that guy and his purse.
