This is so funny. The dems think they can use this against Akin. How many times was Martin Luther King arrested during his demonstrations and marches? And he's considered to be the icon of the democratic party. Todd arrested for Pro-Life demonstrations? That makes Todd equal to King.

TODD AKIN FOR U.S. SENATE

Seems Martin Luther King was arrested many, many times too. So what? He is a national hero. Go Akin!

They’re about three days too late for an October Surprise.

The Bush DUI suppressed his vote because the evangelicals among his supporters were disappointed in him.

Akin could have been arrested a dozen times in the '80's for anti-abortion activism and it won't disappoint a single supporter. It actually lends to his conservative credentials -- like a liberal being charged with cheating on his wife.

Yep — arrested eight times trying to protect the lives of those that McCasKILL has spent her years in the Senate voting to KILL. He is proud of these arrests and should be.

Mr. Akin can proudly claim that he has company among many prominent Americans who did the same thing to stand up for what they believe in when it comes to the state-sponsored crime of abortion.

Former New York Giants All-Pro tight end Mark Bavaro, for example, was among about 500 people arrested in front of an abortion clinic in New York City in 1988, during the peak of his NFL career.

Another reason I will vote for Todd.

As if I needed any more reasons.

Arrested for protesting against the murder of unborn babies.

I like him even more now than I did 5 minutes ago.

Proof that he is a man of conviction and should be elected.

Since the Garden of Eden was located in Jackson County, Missouri, and when Jesus returns to Earth he is going to Missouri, you’d think it’d be a lot more of a conservative state.

Their October surprise?

Geez! I thought this was an article released by the Akin campaign! Oh well, I'm sending him another donation anyways for sacrificing an arrest or so for LIFE.

In a world where murdering babies everyday is acceptable and being arrested multiple times for trying to stop the deaths is frowned upon and written about in derogatory tones absolutely, fricking, baffles me. What kind of world do we live in now?

Another piece of the End Times, of course ~ it comes in fits and starts ~ if it came all at once no one would survive.
