Not as bad as Clayton Williams rape joke, but likely to end in the same result.
Wow, talk about stupid... A sure fire win in the senate race is now in jepordy. Thanks man...
Trying to justify an across-the-board abortion ban with a really ignorant, not to say stupid, argument.
The reason abortion should never be the answer is that in no case does the pre-born child have any say in the manner of his or her conception. That’s it. This guy set back the fight 50 years by his complete ignorance.
After he was caught in some crooked financial dealing, Democrats threw Torricelli out of his candidacy for Sen. from NJ at the last minute and put in Lautenberg, who remains in office to this sweet day.
Why can’t Republicans do the same in this case and put in Palin’s better choice that this nitwit? They need to do it today, or McCaskell will be Senator for the rest of her life.
The guy probably has a point, but the point is so Un-PC that it is not permitted to be spoken by the MSM. Feminists have long said that even reporting a rape is so traumatic that no woman would make a false rape claim. That was said by some for months of the Duke Rape Hoax.
But false rape claims are made and the term “date rape” was made up to try and claim “legitimate rape” in cases where both parties might have been intoxicated, or otherwise judgmentally impaired, so that “legitimate rape” could be claimed in very unclear circumstances (often after the fact, or regret realized after heads had cleared).
Pretty ham-handed of the candidate to walk into this obvious PC trap, and it will hurt him to some extent even though he had a legitimate, but highly Un-PC point.
He made two mistakes. First, “legitimate rape”. I’m assuming what he means is that it is a legitimate rape “claim” as opposed to a pregnant woman saying “I was raped” with no other specifics in order to get an abortion where it would otherwise be illegal. Regarding the “shuts down” comment, I’ve never heard that from a legitimate source.
Almost as bad as Biden with this one.
What saddens me are Republicans now attacking Akin for telling the truth.
For decades, feminists have been telling us:
1) All marriage is rape
2) When a woman has consensual sex on a date, it is really rape
3) When a man takes pleasure in any way from a woman, it is rape.
Those things ARE NOT RAPE. "Legitimate" rape is non-consensual forcible sexual exploitation of another, usually violent.
How else are we to speak about reality, as opposed to the wasted superlatives of political correctness? If everything is rape, then nothing is.
I say Akin did nothing wrong.
Is it like ‘rape-rape’?..........
Is he related to Biden? Went to the same ‘gaff’ classes?
Listening to Charlie Brennan now. Those who are doctors and with medical knowledge have called in and agree with Todd Akin.
It is unfortunate, but he has made himself unelectable.
Before you jump all over me, I’m not saying that having every feminazi-influenced idiot voting is a good way to select Senators (or anything else), but we have to work with what we’ve got.
McCaskill is a disaster, and is easily beatable - except by Akin.
Get the hook.
To bad this guy’s not a Democrat. Then, he’d just get sent to Delaware for a few days.
McCaskill campaign spending a million in the Republican primary to get this guy as her primary opponent is the best million ever spent in the history of campaigns.
ANOTHER Republican pulling defeat from the jaws of victory.
They never learn.
This is the kind of thing that happens when they go off-script.
Paging Sarah Steelman... Paging Sara Steelman... clean-up in the GOP-e Dept...
Looks like the jerk is not dropping out.
He's 65, in his 'world' there is or was ONE kind of rape: forcible rape.
Younger generations have been taught there's "date rape" which can be a case of two drunks who engage in sex. Obviously Akin isn't talking about that, nor is he talking about "statutory rape."
Brennan says Akin's begged off on the interview.
They don’t call us “The Stupid Party” for nuthin!
How many times do liberal women say things about men that are objectionable, without nary an outcry? That said, it is a silly remark, and should have little bearing on anything. Reminds me of the comment(s) about women in foxholes etc. Women/libs get so upset about silly words, but have no problem with molesters and killers and rapists in office, if they are Democrat.
