LA Times ^ | 8/27/12 | Lisa Mascaro

TAMPA, Fla. – Republican leaders may want to turn the page on Rep. Todd Akin’s comments about women and rape, but Democrats won't let them.

Phone calls started Monday in 20 congressional districts held by the GOP, linking the incumbent lawmaker to the six-term Missourian’s suggestion that pregnancy “rarely” results from “legitimate rape.” Akin is running for Senate, in a close race against Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill

It is clear from the context that Akin intended “legitimate” to mean “actual,” not “acceptable.”

Very Convenient, that you didn't comment on Akin's "magic uterus" theory, I.E: the female reproductive system shuts down during rape.

Akin needs those Frank Luntz moderate independents to beat Clarie.... I'm no fan of Rove, but, this mass confusion is NOT Rove’s fault. How many moderate independents have you successfully explained Akin’s language? How many of them will still vote for him?

of course you’re correct but expect to be called a baby killing abortionist by Akin’s supporters.

it says “Country First”. A lesson this egomaniac ought to consider learning.
///
i think you people need to take your own advice.
...what Akin’s said, was clumsy, but correct.
stress (rape) CAN prevent conception.
stress (rape) CAN cause miscarriage.
-
i don’t let YOUR favorite news sources, like LA Times, Politico, etc., give me my talking points and facts.
-
will you next HELP the liberals go after RYAN ?!?
...Ryan CO-WROTE the bill WITH AKIN,
that redefined rape.
Ryan also opposes rape, in ALL cases.
=
2) what about ROMNEY?
...what are the chances, for a NON-homosexual male,
to molest a boy scout?
almost ZERO?
...
yet ROMNEY advocates for the Boy Scouts,
to ADMIT homosexual males, for Scout Leaders, etc.
-
...yet you support Romney, and condemn Akin,
for saying something clumsy, but factually true?!?
-
i’m holding my nose, to vote for Romney.
and all YOU can do to help, is shill for the LA Times?

viciously misquoting people, and INVENTING words,
is what LIBERALS do.
Akin NEVER said “magic uterus” or anything close.
-
under extreme stress, a woman’s reproductive system basically does shut down.
(ever had a girlfriend who’s period was late, because of stress ?!? ...and rape, certainly is stress !)
-
...if you’d spend as much time, helping a good honest conservative, defend McCaskill, who is 1000 times worse,
than Akin, he might still be able to win.
MOST of the worst, most unfair attacks on him,
are coming from “conservative” MEN.

You are going thread to thread asking the same question.

I serve in defeating Claire McCaskill, which with your support of Akin, you do not.

Oh yeah, when the number 1 issue in people's minds is the economy running ads about Abortion is a sure winning ticket for the Dems.

Funny how quick the GOP-e/Conservatives are to forget their own electoral history. Dems are making the same tactical error the GOP-e/Conservatives accused Soc Con candidates of always doing.

Only Now the chicken littles in the GOP-E want to claim these tactics which have always failed will some how magically work for the Dems

I agree. I believe that the attacks on Akin by the right on this site are evidence that this country is lost. Akin has done NOTHING wrong other than POSSIBLY misspoke (I don’t believe that he said anything wrong). The moral outrage at Akin by people on this site and by those in the democrat party when there is so much evil that surrounds us is just breathtaking to behold.

I actually saw on this site by so-called conservative freepers comments such as : “I hope Akin’s daughters get raped!”

In the near future, I can see social conservatives like Akin and his supporters like me being loaded into boxcars...

like it did to the german rape victims in Berlin or the Jewish victims in the pogroms?

I hear cookoos singing in the cookooberry tree

Not everyone on this site is actually a conservative. There are a click of Libertine/leftists who hang out her pretending to be Uber Conservatives. Don't take the clowns propagandizing for their Leftist masters too seriously.

Those making those sort of over the top hate based comments are infiliTraitors playing for the other side.

And supposed "conservatives" all over this website would rather beat this dead horse day in and day out then actually do anything useful to defeat O and his Progressive followers.

Odd how pathetically eager some "Conservatives" here are to continue spreading this propaganda line for the Democrat media noise machine.

Oh no, Todd Akin cannot be held responsible for his words

He aplogized the next day. First of all the words were spoken....nobody noticed until the Republicans started making hay about it. He apologized for it but the Republicans were not happy enough so they complained and complained. This is 100 percent the fault of the Republicans. The media never would have noticed had it not been for the loud mouth Republicans.

By the time the RNC convention is over we’ll have plenty of negatives pictures to run in ads. Pictures of OWS and anarchists supported by obama himself.
