    Romney 'glitter bomber' fired from internship

    DENVER (AP) — The college student accused of "glitter bombing" Mitt Romney after the Colorado caucuses has been fired from his unpaid internship with state Senate Democrats.

    Police say 20-year-old Peter Smith threw glitter at Romney as the Republican presidential hopeful greeted supporters in Denver on Tuesday. Smith faces charges of causing a disturbance, throwing a missile and unlawful acts.

    Colorado Senate majority chief of staff John Cevette says Smith was terminated Thursday. He was interning as part of a course at the University of Colorado Denver.

    Some activists have used "glitter bombing" to protest politicians' opposition to same-sex marriage. Smith has said glittering Romney was worth it, but he worries he could be expelled from school.

    A conservative-leaning blog, Colorado Peak Politics, first reported that Smith worked for Senate Democrats and had been fired.

      These stunts do not help your cause. It just makes you look immature.

        It makes them look MORE than just immature.

        Immature connotates acts by children and acts below their chronological age.

        This makes them look:

        1.) STUPID.
        2.) RETARDED.
        3.) Completely clueless as to ramifications of actions.
        4.) Like a facist liberal.

        Well, they are facist liberals, so this is common practice. I wish it was me this little turd-burglar threw stuff at. He'd have a broken jaw and I'd be off in self-defense of assault.

      Worked for the Dems, who would have thunk it?

      Perhaps a bad decision in the heat of the moment but fired from a non-paying job? It keeps the same amount of dust in the old wallet. More study time now for etiquette.

        Its not a decision in the heat of the moment, he went there with glitter to do this. That makes it pre-meditated, not heat of the moment.

        And this little freak pillow-biter now has a record that will follow him (?) for the rest of his life. Every job application will note an assault (that's what it was) on a political figure.

        I hope all his fellow freak pillow-biters appreciate him screwing up his employment future for them.

        Little freak. If it were me, I'd break his jaw.

      Hah-hah-hah! Now he can throw his glitter bombs from an unemployment line.
      • Lillian 3 mths ago
        Unpaid intern = no unemployment line.
    • terryton  •  3 mths ago
      After the Giffords shooting the press wanted to eliminate terms like "cross-hairs" & "reload". Why is glitter "bomb" still acceptable?
      • Hattie D 3 mths ago
        Excellent point! And it was an act of aggression, glitter or not.

      Throw something at me that touches my body or clothing and I will beat the taste out of you and render you a mouthful of bloddy Chicklets. Enough said.

      Missile-An object or weapon that is fired, thrown, dropped, or otherwise projected at a target; a projectile.

      Perhaps they can have him share a jail cell with Gary Glitter? In Vietnam, he could continue his studies at the college of corn-hole knowledge!
    • marshhawk  •  3 mths ago
      To late to be worrying if you are going to be expelled from college. Should of though about that before hand.
    • I  •  Tucson, Arizona  •  3 mths ago
      what if "glitter bombing" is considered to be an expression of celebrating sexual preference? i think it's supposed to be; people would say "duh...". that makes it "sexual harassment" as well.
    • fedupwithitall  •  3 mths ago
      Good! I am happy to see he was fired. You have no right to go around throwing things at people because you don't believe in what they believe in. Talk about intolerance! The left breeds intolerance, when they are not busy inbreeding it.

      Just another nut who is a brainwashed liberal. The liberal party has so little to be proud of, and I include their political leaders in this statement.

      The left side haters aren't helping their cause.

      Throwing items at others to make your point. Thats really going to get results. Whats worse is that in the chaos, you create a situation where more unbalanced folk may take advantage and do real harm.
    • Fu  •  3 mths ago
      Glitter is not the worst thing in the world, but this isn't how you convince people of anything.

      The Mary got what he deserved. Now the twit will have a criminal record for his stupid, childish act.

      Good! I hope this kid learns his lesson.
