The liberal media? Like Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin?

I apologized but the liberal media is trying to make me drop out. Please stand w/ me tonight by signing my petition at akin.org/still-standing

BuzzFeed notices that he has the same thing posted on his campaign website.

Aikin got his information about pregnancy/rape from John C Wilke, MD of the National Right-to-Life http://www.joplinglobe.com/local/x946184320/Akin-pledges-to-stay-in-Senate-race-despite-legitimate-rape-remark/print This is what we were told years ago.

The liberal elitist media wants Akin to stay in the race. And there’s no guarantee he’ll be able to leave the race.

Sure, I’ll go to “akin.org/still-standing” but the note I write to this fool will be that his vanity and self-centeredness may cost us the Senate and perhaps even the presidency at a time when we can’t have four more years of Obama and Harry Reid’s Senate.

I thought senators were supposed to be intelligent. This fellow seems to have sneaked on the ticket with the aid of a dhimmikrat fifth column.

Whoppi Goldberg used far better words to describe the disgusting violent attack when she called it “Rape-Rape”.

Is it possible to do a write in with another top primary candidate or a third party called the Anti-Rape Party.

The McCaskill campaign cited a study published in 2003 in Humane Nature magazine. It suggested that “rape is more likely to result in pregnancy than consensual sex.”

So then what they are implying is that if a woman wants to get pregnant she needs to go out and get raped.

Conservative bloggers should be all over this comment from the McCaskill campaign wrapping it around Democrat throats. But no instead the gang rape of a longtime conservative is more to their liking.

How anyone, even with only two remaining good brain cells, can qualify the word “rape” with the word “legitimate”, AND AT THE SAME TIME BE RUNNING FOR A SENATE SEAT FOR OUR SIDE, is beyond my comprehension.

I don’t have a problem with his positions, I have a problem with him holding political office while representing our side.

Why isn’t our side going after the BIG news like oh say, How Janet Napolitano is being sued from within her dept of Homeland Security for sexual abuse and discrimination against the men? HELLO - my take is OK Akin is still in the race, so move on already...This is ANOTHER attempt by the left to move the discourse away from what REALLY MATTERS - JOBS, ECONOMY and a PRESIDENT who has LET AMERICA DOWN!

Where the heck did you get that idea? Past performance dictates future expectations. I see little to no evidence from past politicians that intelligence, or anything approaching common sense is a per-requisite for the job at any level.

The last time there was an issue about legitimate rape there was scant interest and the issue was quickly settled by the rapist himself..

"Better put some ice on that." Bill Clinton.

Showing that kind of compassion and concern for the one Clinton just raped made the rape legitimate..

in the sense of "being in accordance with established or accepted patterns and standards" of the Demobrat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party), the MSM, universities, Hollywood, NGOs, U.N., civil rights industry, much of the ruling class, the "nonpartisan" media, transnationals, and all the Right People.

Islamist "temporary marriages" also qualify as being in accordance with established or accepted patterns and standards of the aforementioned pukes.
