It's funny that the one person who is defending Akin's right to stay in the race is his opponent, Claire McCaskill. She knows an easy mark when she sees one.

"Never rape a gift horse in the mouth."

And naysayers claim rape jokes are never funny. Ha!

What I'd really like is a SLOG post about "false rape" in its true definition of a false allegation of rape.

In that context his original comment makes sense.

@3: In no context does his comment make sense. None. His entire little speech makes it very clear he wasn't talking about women who claim to be raped but actually weren't. He's attempting to talk about FORCIBLE rape, as though it's not rape if no one holds a gun to your head, but even in that context he's full of shit.

@3: Your hatred of women is showing again. Put the mask back on.

@3, no one touches you sexually do they? And I mean a live human person, not a blow up doll or a neighborhood stray cat.

Of course they're insincere! Everybody knows that (I hope). They're just looking at their odds of capturing the Senate and White House and overturning the ACA, Dodd-Frank, etc. Everything that would increase the profit margins of the people (and corporate "people") who gave them their jobs. Akin wants to hang on because a.) he's a typical obstinate, immature conservative blowhard, and b.) he's looking after himself and his career.

The speed and force of the Republican repudiation has surprised me, though, I'll admit. It suggests that they see real danger in this whole affair.

But no. They don't give a single damn about women or anybody who doesn't contribute tens of thousands to them.

Never rape ANY horse in the mouth. You gonna get castrated.

Funny, but sadly true song about "legitimate rape"

Not only the Republicans think a woman should die instead of a fetus, but a year or so ago, a Catholic hospital fired its female administrator because she authorized an emergency late-term abortion to save the mother who would otherwise have died. And I think she was excommunicated by the Church, also.
