Santorum Feels 'Sorry' For Man Who Glitter-Bombed Him

Speaking on Iowa radio Rick Santorum was asked for his thoughts on the man who glitter-bombed him several days ago. Santorum leaned on his Christian upbringing in response:

"My feeling is, that's part when you open yourself up to the public, you're going to get good things happen to you and not so nice things. What I'm taking the approach of is you move on. I feel sorry for that man that he felt like he was compelled he had to do that. Like I do, what I'm supposed to do, is you know, according to our faith, is to pray for them, and I hope people work that out."

1. What.A.NutJob

Meanwhile, the guy threw glitter at him and said "Stop the HATE, taste the rainbow". Take his advice Santorum, take his advice.

2. that glitter stunt is lame. It just gives publicity to opponents.

In this case it makes Santorum look like the victim and glitter-bomber is the assailant.

Anybody disagree?

3. Gay Rights is the Civil Rights Movement of our time

This issue should not be ignored for fear of "alienating" voters.

Obama should come out strongly and forcefully in favor of marriage equality.

So, too, should any Republican candidate with an ounce of humanity.

4. He wears his martyrdom well...

Having glitter thrown on you is SO painful! That's REAL persecution!

[gratuitous]

5. Rick and I have something in common

I feel sorry that the glitter-bomber felt like he was compelled to do what he did, too. But if Santorum wasn't such a self-righteous bigot, it wouldn't have been necessary at all. As it is, Santorum just suffered some public embarrassment, as opposed to having his very existence questioned by a large, vocal segment of society bent on carrying out his annihilation.

6. ricky was probably 'sorry'

that it wasn't *frothy glitter*....
