Tim Pawlenty was minding his own business running for president, signing books at an American Health Insurance conference Thursday when two women representing Reproductive Rights and CODEPINK sprinkled pink, glittery confetti on the former Minnesota governor.

Complaining that the Republican doesn't have "the courage to stand up for gay rights and women's reproductive rights," the two women opened manila folders filled with confetti and doused the man who in 2010 vetoed a Minnesota bill that would have allowed gay couples the right to the remains of their deceased partner.

I love it when peace protesters get physical. :)

“This picture of Obama will give me nightmares!”

I hear it’s caused Chris Matthews to lose sleep, too, trying to soothe the tingle.

[wku man]

UGH! I'm glad I already ate dinner...though it may come back up on me.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Glittery confetti is so gay.

From the city that wants to outlaw circumcisions, chocolate milk and goldfish.

Bet she’s got a tub of Crisco in that backpack. Might as well cut out the intermediate steps, just scoop it out with your hands. Very efficient, that one.

Pixie dust.

Still waiting a response from Team Pawlenty to my request to be a part of his security team...

O....KKKKKKKKKK...alright, where is that cat that says “What has been seen, cannot be UNSEEN!” ??

“I hate how the language gets twisted and muddled...Liberals should be called out on these word games. If you favor abortion on demand, then say so. Don’t hide behind terms such as women’s reproductive health services.”

Language is everything to them.

Conservatives need to do a lot more co-opting of the leftists’ favorite terms to use against them. (e.g., when the left screams about reproductive “rights”, then counter with the importance of protecting the rights of an even more vulnerable group- the unborn.

“Kalifornistan will go to the democRAT candidate in 2012....”

Maybe not. Didn’t they pass a law in California saying that the winner of the nationwide popular vote will receive all of California’s Electoral College votes?

Pass the popcorn on election night when CBS news says, “Well, even though Barack Obama won the popular vote in California, the popular vote nationwide was won by Sarah Palin. Therefore, Palin wins California!” (That popping sound you will hear will be liberal heads exploding all over San Francisco and Los Angeles). Talk about “must see” TV.

Do they have pink shirts yet? Or would they rather go with the traditional brown?

Is anyone here against civil rights for homosexuals?

Sodomy has been viewed by the civlized world as sinful and immoral and, for the most part, illegal for 5,000 years. Only in the last 50 years has it been decriminalized. Along with fornication and adultery. If it were still a crime, there would be no case for it to be considerd a right. That's were the little disagreement pops up.

Christians don't intend to single out sodomy as a worse sin than fornication or adultery, or even murder or robbery for that matter, since the Bible is clear that sin is sin, it's all wrong in the eyes of God and we don't gain salvation because we chose certain sins over others.

But the fornicators, adulterers, murderers and robbers don't form activist groups and agressively and publicly demand that they be given a right to commit their vile acts; only the sodomites do. So we have to respond, because we are bought with a price, we can not deny the Scriptures, the Holy Word of God, any more than we can our Lord Jesus Christ.

From 1 Corinthians, Chapter 6:

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Since when has Code Pink gone around fighting for gay rights?

There are 3 wars going on and they’re focused on a fringe Republican candidate? Code Pink has lost their focus, their resolve and lack the courage & intellectual honesty to stand up to Obama.

[Clintonfatigued]

It sounds more silly than anything else.
