I am not your intern.

If you are too lazy to do even a minimal amount or research on this subject then there is little I can do to help you.

I understand one of your Hero's has just shown himself to be evil incarnate. But that is not my problem.

But all is not lost! You can still send Akin the $5,000,000 the GOP just pulled from him. He is currently asking donors to make up the difference because The Stupid must roll on if they are to force us all to live according to their whims.

Was tuned in to Hannity today. I wanted to hear what he had to say on the matter.

The answer is 'this could hurt the down ballot races'.

What wisdom!

Beyond that he is ignoring the subject.

No he agrees with you, that makes him an idiot :D

I wonder if this will come up in the VP debates? After all, Ryan holds the same views as Akin.

"That is a debate we will be glad to have."---- P. Ryan.

Nah- I don't listen to him unless it's some gaff which is played over and over again and I cannot avoid hearing him. He is quite far to the right- and the extreme people are to be avoided IMHO.

Listening to people you wish were not speaking so you can find more gaffs and things to try and make fun of. What a life.

Amen.

Is that not what we do around here? ;)

D'oh, there goes the main purpose of the OD! :P

Well I finally saw the video clip. I only saw it quickly, but it sounded as if what he said was that the Rapist should be punished and not the baby. Is that REALLY what he said?

Please tell me what is wrong with punishing the rapist instead of the fetus.

Maybe you do it but I doubt you speak for "we".

I like hearing what others around here have to say no matter if I agree with their views or not. I want to expand my views-not find gaffs of the left or right so I can put out a zinger in some future conversation about the subject.

Is that why you left the GOP?:P

That part of his quote is not being debated at this point. The focus is on 'legitimate rape', and 'the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.'

I think we all know your repressed views on abortion, and this idiot Akin concurs. Still can't figure out why you insist on punishing the rape victim.
Very cruel and patriarchal.

I think the part that was found to be offensive was the implication that a woman couldn't possibly need an abortion, or even a morning-after pill, following rape, unless she secretly enjoyed the rape or wanted the rape (which would make it not a rape in his mind?).

Little zygotes are not people. The are incapable of discussing the works of Kurt Vonnegut; So they are not even to be part of the discussion.

And of course the rape victim asked for it, she was wearing a low cut red strapless micro mini dress, and Jimmy Choo CMF high heels, and "Opium" perfume, so of course she should be punished!
