I shouldn’t have to say this, but given that he’s going to be held up as what every conservative believes, here’s the denouncement.
What Todd Akin said was ridiculous, medically unsound, and despicable. No one in his right mind believes that a woman won’t get pregnant if she’s raped.
If we lose Missouri in the general election, it will be because Todd Akin is a douchebag. He deserves to lose his election for being so stupid, both stupid for believing this and stupid for saying it. If he somehow manages to ride on the conservative wave and win the Senate seat he’s running for, there had better be a plan in place for replacing him as soon as possible, preferably through resignation and replacement if possible. The GOP does not need this sort of anti-woman asshattery in its leadership.
Anyone who defends or minimizes what Akin said is deserving of every bit of scorn that’s heaped on them.
In case you haven’t managed to see the colossal douchebaggery, here you go:
Ass-hat.
MSNBC will have to pre empt their 24/7 Ryan bashing.
Nonsense. They can bash both Ryan and Akin simultaneously. That’s called multi-tasking.
Get that boy a teleprompter.
So we have a highly repellent windowlicker of a candidate for senate in a critical swing state? Great…
I can’t believe all you RiNOs crapping all over the Tea Party here. Is what he said stupid? Yes, but McCaskill needs to go, so suck it up and support him anyway, or else you’re working to get Democrats elected. **
**Not really what I believe, but I figure SOMEONE has to play the role of “purist” here just like the Great Delaware Senate circular firing squad of 2010.
Fortunately there’s today and tomorrow to replace him on the ballot.
