Who Hijacked Our Country

GOP candidate Todd Akin: “What are these ‘birds and bees’ you speak of?”

Todd Akin is Missouri’s Republican (make that teatard) nominee for the U.S. Senate.  He’s already (in)famous for being against the school lunch program, wanting to ban the morning after pill, and describing student loans as “stage three cancer of socialism.”

And on top of all that, it seems Todd Akin never received a certain, uh, “lecture” — “son, let’s have a little talk” — that most people are given sometime around sixth grade.

Todd Akin may not understand how fetuses are made, but he worships them unconditionally.  He wants to ban abortion, period.  No exceptions.  There should be no exception for rape because if a woman was “genuinely” raped — as opposed to asking for it — then she can’t possibly get pregnant.  Because, you know, she has some sort of inner mechanism “down there” that would prevent conception if she had been genuinely raped.

Anyway, straight from the horse’s ass’s mouth:

“People always try to make that one of those things, ‘Oh, how do you slice this particularly tough sort of ethical question.’  It seems to me, first of all, what I understand from doctors is that’s really where—if it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

He heard that from a doctor????

And that’s not all:

“Let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work, or something.  I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.”

[sigh]

Missouri voters:  you can NOT possibly send this bone-stupid inbred mouth-breather to the U.S. Senate.

It will be fun to see if Akin learns anything from this episode. I think he's the type who will just keep vomiting out stupid ideas until the voters give up and hand the election to McCaskill.

I can hardly wait for Lisa to post some stupid YouTube about Senator Byrd in response to this.

This constant stream of moronic drivel from these "conservatives" is seriously beginning to make me very frightened. And then there's that horses ass Hank Williams Jr. Jesus, if you are really going to save us, the time is now.

After I saw the vid clip of this asshat's biology theory I had to go outside and spit... sort of a pre-vomit response I couldn't suppress. The thought of this cretin sitting on the House Science and Technology committee is enough to make me cringe for the good ol' days of the Spanish Inquisition. Maybe that's what teabaggers mean when they say they want to "take the country back". They want to take it back to the Dark Ages.
Truly stunning, and far more widespread than feared.
Don't assume he's lost this election, either. I've learned to never underestimate the ignorance and gullibility of the American voter.

If Akin heard that bogus nonsense from a doctor, it had to be a graduate of some mail-order diploma mill who ordered a degree in 19th century faith healing.

Jess: LOL. If Akin loses the election he can become a notary public for rape victims.

Jim: I agree, he'll keep vomiting out stupid ideas. I hope his vomitings don't get him elected.

Erik: Reagan started a trend.

JR: I'm glad she didn't disappoint you.

Mr. C: Or maybe Jesus is planning to save Akin and Hank Williams Jr. from the rest of us. One never knows.

Squatlo: I have no assumption whatsoever that Akin has lost the election. The stupidity of the American voter is never to be underestimated.

Lisa: Thank you for the two standup comedy videos.

SW: LOL. It's amazing what someone can get from those diploma mills.
