There are so many problems with this New York Times article on "glitter bombing" I'd need a separate column to list them all. Diane Anderson-Minshaw of The Advocate says "“I think the whole thing is a wonderfully fabulous way to protest. It’s peaceful and it doesn’t hurt anybody. But it does get a really important point across in a fun way.” Of course, the legality is highly questionable. Mike Huckabee says "The people ought to be arrested who did this.” Former speaker Newt Gingrich was initially amused when he was glittered, but now says "Glitter bombing is clearly an assault and should be treated as such. When someone reaches into a bag and throws something on you, how do you know if it is acid or something that stains permanently or something that can blind you? People have every right to their beliefs but no right to assault others.” So this is going to go bad, really, really fast. Just like I told you months ago.
