Yep. Some FREEPERS should be at the front of the confessional. Horrible Horrible behavior from some.
Very horrible LIBERAL behavior by some. Going all MSNBC over a comment that Akin repeatedly apologized for is not a conservative value
The abandoning of Akin only demonstrated support of McCaskill. And, the real reason so many abandoned Akin is because he is a strong pro-life conservative.
Nor is getting all hung-up over a phrase without looking at the context in which it was said.
The man was trying to make a specific and scientific point on a very explosive subject, and IMHO, he never said anything he should have apologized for.
Everyone fell into the media trap of word-baiting. They got that 'legitimate' rape' soundbite stuck in their heads and just kept playing it to themselves - over and over.... and over.

I was really disappointed in FReeper land. As a group, I thought we had better cognitive reasoning abilities than that.
Huckabee pointed to recent revelations that Akins opponent, incumbent Claire McCaskill, personally benefitted through her husbands company from about $1 million in stimulus funds.
Akin voted against cash for clunkers; the Wall Street Bailout; the stimulus; voted to repeal Obamacare 30 times. Why is this even an issue with the GOP? the man has an excellent voting record.
Thanks for posting elephant!
